django-cms 3.9.0 is out!

[goutnet]

Hi,

we just released djangoCMS 3.9.0 can you add this new version to the installer?

Thanks!

Django 3.2 is out as well (It's already up to 3.2.5) and djangoCMS 3.9 supports it.

Just got in some trouble to update my Docker image because --django-version 3.2 is not supported... https://github.com/speendo/djangocms-postgres-docker

@speendo what command are you trying to run?

[speendo]

First I tried to run the installer without specifying the django version:

djangocms --db postgres://djangocms_db_user:djangocms_db@db:5432/djangocms_db --no-deps --i18n yes --use-tz yes --permissions yes --languages de --languages en --bootstrap yes --starting-page no --parent-dir /app/projects my_djangocms_project

The installer responded with

[...]

It seems though, that the installation still kind of worked - after the container restarted it applied migrations and started the development server.

So I tried to specify the django-version with

djangocms --db postgres://djangocms_db_user:djangocms_db@db:5432/djangocms_db --no-deps --i18n yes --use-tz yes --permissions yes --languages de --languages en --bootstrap yes --starting-page no --parent-dir /app/projects --django-version 3.2 my_djangocms_project

That was of course not possible at all:

djangocms-app | djangocms: error: argument --django-version: invalid choice: '3.2' (choose from '3.1', '3.0', '2.2', 'stable', 'lts')
djangocms-app | Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't want to rush anybody, but are there plans or a road map until when the installer will be updated to django-cms 3.9?

I find the installer to be much more convenient than the manual installation and it's also still listed as "preferred method" on the django-cms website.

However, it's almost a month since django cms 3.9 came out for which the preferred installation method doesn't work yet...

I'm also fine with an answer like "no plans yet". I just want to know if I should rather wait or go for the manual installation.

[greyhare]

I'm getting the feeling this installer is abandoned. There has been no activity in all of 2021.

@yakky @protoroto sorry to bother you folks, but do we have any plans on moving the project forward along with the djangocms project?
