What's new

Read-only panels

FieldPanels can now be marked as read-only with the read_only=True keyword argument, so that they are displayed in the admin but cannot be edited. This feature was developed by Andy Babic.

Other features

Return filters from parse_query_string as a QueryDict to support multiple values (Aman Pandey)
Explicitly specify MenuItem.name for all admin menu and submenu items (Justin Koestinger)

Bug fixes

Prevent choosers from failing when initial value is an unrecognised ID, e.g. when moving a page from a location where parent_page_types would disallow it (Dan Braghis)

Remove comment button on InlinePanel fields (Sage Abdullah)

Maintenance

Upgrade considerations

`insert_editor_css` hook is deprecated

The insert_editor_css hook has been deprecated. The insert_global_admin_css hook has the same functionality, and all uses of insert_editor_css should be changed to insert_global_admin_css.
