Wagtail 2.11 is designated a Long Term Support (LTS) release. Long Term Support releases will continue to receive maintenance updates as necessary to address security and data-loss related issues, up until the next LTS release (typically a period of 12 months).
|

|
What's new
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Multi-lingual content
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
With this release, Wagtail now has official support for authoring content
|
|
for multiple languages/regions.
|
|
|
|
To find out more about this feature, see :ref:`multi_language_content`.
|
|
|
|
We have also developed a new plugin for translating content between different
|
|
locales called ``wagtail-localize``. You can find details about ``wagtail-localize``
|
|
on its `GitHub page <https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail-localize>`_.
|
|
|
|
This feature was sponsored by The Mozilla Foundation and Torchbox.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Page aliases
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This release introduces support for creating page aliases.
|
|
|
|
Page aliases are exact copies of another page that sit in another part of the tree.
|
|
They remain in sync with the original page until this link is removed by converting them into a regular page, or deleting the original page.
|
|
|
|
A page alias can be created through the "Copy Page" UI by selecting the "Alias" checkbox when creating a page copy.
|
|
|
|
This feature was sponsored by The Mozilla Foundation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Collections hierarchy
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Collections (for organising images, documents or other media) can now be managed as a hierarchy rather than a flat list. This feature was developed by Robert Rollins.
|
|

Upgrade considerations
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
IE11 support being phased out
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This release begins the process of phasing out support for Internet Explorer. Please see :ref:`ie11` for details of the timeline over which support will be dropped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SiteMiddleware moved to ``wagtail.contrib.legacy``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The SiteMiddleware class (which provides the ``request.site`` property, and has been deprecated since Wagtail 2.9) has been moved to the ``wagtail.contrib.legacy`` namespace. On projects where this is still in use, the ``'wagtail.core.middleware.SiteMiddleware'`` entry in ``MIDDLEWARE`` should be changed to ``'wagtail.contrib.legacy.sitemiddleware.SiteMiddleware'``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Collection model enforces alphabetical ordering
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
As part of the hierarchical collections support, the ``path`` field on the Collection model now enforces alphabetical ordering. Previously, collections were stored in the order in which they were created - and then sorted by name where displayed in the CMS. This change will be handled automatically through migrations when upgrading to Wagtail 2.11.
|
|
|
|
However, if your project creates new collections programmatically after migrations have run, and assigns the ``path`` field directly - for example, by loading from a fixture file - this code will need to be updated to insert them in alphabetical order. Otherwise, errors may occur when subsequently adding new collections through the Wagtail admin. This can be done as follows:
|
|
|
|
* Update paths to match alphabetical order. For example, if you have a fixture that creates the collections ``Zebras`` and ``Aardvarks`` with paths ``00010001`` and ``00010002`` respectively, these paths should be swapped.
|
|
* *Alternatively*, after creating the collections, run the Python code:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from wagtail.core.models import Collection
|
|
Collection.fix_tree(fix_paths=True)
|
|
|
|
or the management command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
python manage.py fixtree --full
|
|
|
|
|
|
``Site.get_site_root_paths`` now returns language code
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
In previous releases, ``Site.get_site_root_paths`` returned a list of ``(site_id, root_path, root_url)`` tuples. To support the new internationalisation model, this has now been changed to a list of named tuples with the fields: ``site_id``, ``root_path``, ``root_url`` and ``language_code``. Existing code that handled this as a 3-tuple should be updated accordingly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``classname`` argument on StreamField blocks is now ``form_classname``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Basic StreamField block types such as CharBlock previously accepted a ``classname`` keyword argument, to specify a ``class`` attribute to appear on the page editing form. For consistency with StructBlock, this has now been changed to ``form_classname``. The ``classname`` argument is still recognised, but deprecated.
