# FeinCMS 1.2 release notes

Welcome to the first release notes for FeinCMS!

## Overview

FeinCMS 1.2 sports several large changes, including:

- Overhauled item editor. The new item editor uses standard Django administration fieldsets; you can use almost all standard Django configuration mechanisms. `show_on_top` has been deprecated, standard `fieldsets` should be used instead.
- The split pane editor has been removed. It wasn’t much more than a proof of concept and was never bug-free.
- The required Django version is now 1.2. Compatibility with older Django versions has been removed.
- The rich text configuration has slightly changed; `CkRichTextContent` has been completely removed in favor of a rich text editor agnostic configuration method. `TINYMCE_JS_URL` should be replaced by an appropriate `FEINCMS_RICHTEXT_INIT_CONTEXT` settings value. See the Content types - what your page content is built of documentation for more details.
- A new content type, `TemplateContent` has been added which can be used to render templates residing on the hard disk.
- The `TreeEditor` JavaScript code has been rewritten, reintroducing drag-drop for reordering pages, but this time in a well-performing way not sluggish as before.
- `feincms.models.Base` is still available, `feincms.models.create_base_model` is the more flexible way of creating the aforementioned base model. If `create_base_model` is used the base model can be freely defined.
- Many small improvements and bugfixes all over the place.
