Contao 4.13.20, a new version of the Contao open source CMS, has been released.

This release fixes a bug in the file manager search and an incorrect linking of breadcrumbs in the page structure. In addition, foreignKey DCA specifications are now also taken into account in the sorting in the back end and a bug in the Twig template inheritance logic has been fixed.

Why is there a bugfix release published shortly before a security vulnerability is closed?

When Contao 4.9.6 was released, we did not have this separation yet. There were problems with the update via the Contao Manager as well as bugs that had to be fixed the next day in a new version 4.9.7. Therefore, the core team decided not to mix security and bugfix versions anymore. Security releases will henceforth contain only the changes necessary to close the vulnerabilities.
