Django CMS version 3.3 has been released

I've been using it for a week or so now. NICE! The speed boost is very noticeable.

We recently upgraded one of our sites in development from 3.2 to 3.3. There's a really appreciated level detail orientation in this release; the speed increases also help.

It's a pleasure to see Django CMS mature into something this polished. The stewardship from the OSS developers and Divio is something to be applauded.

Thanks Jon!

We've always had our own hand-rolled CMS in Django (mainly because Django CMS didn't exist when I started).

Last time I looked at Django-CMS I found the UX of the admin to be a bit clunky - especially as something I'd want to give to clients and their staff. (Bear in mind I find Wordpress admin to be unbearably clunky too)

Just too many things on screen that would require an explanation, a "don't touch that or a "you don't need to worry about that".

Has that changed? What are other people's experiences?

I may be biased =) but, I would use django CMS + Aldryn News & Blog, and perhaps Aldryn Jobs to start.

The thing that drew me to django CMS to start with still exists today, which is that django CMS recognizes that Django is a powerful application framework and the CMS embraces this. It also provides powerful front-end editing capabilities for you and your non-technical stakeholders, even for existing Django apps.
