Work completed in the last couple of weeks
We released a bunch of great new features and improvements with Silverstripe CMS 5.2.0, so go check out the release announcement and the changelog if you haven’t done so already.
As a reminder, that release marks a change in support commitments for Silverstripe CMS 4, which will only receive patches for high-severity security vulnerabilities from now on. You can find out more about our support commitments in the major release policy and the roadmap.
We’ve also surfaced some documentation from supported modules into the new optional features section.
