Contao 5.5.11, a new version of the Contao open source CMS, has been released.

As always, this release contains the bug fixes from the latest version 5.3.33 and improvements to the features that are exclusively part of the 5.5 branch. These include further improvements to the Turbo integration, but also the search results of the back end search and, above all, an adapted caching in the template studio which, according to GitHub tickets, leads to more compatibility with certain hosting providers. If you notice that the icons in the entire back end have slightly different colors, this is due to the constant focus on accessibility, so that the contrast ratio between foreground and background colors is now at least 3:1 almost without exception.

Changelog of the fixed issues in Contao 5.5.11:

  • #8350 Add the missing "Template Studio" translation (de-es)
  • #8298 Make Turbo use the correct URL after a redirect (m-vo)
  • #8297 Use the app cache instead of the system cache for the Template Studio (m-vo)
  • #8261 Fix the Choices.js quirks by isolating it in a shadow root (m-vo)
  • #8347 Return the correct object instance in the `DataContainerOperationsBuilder` (aschempp)
  • #8345 Fix the contrast of the new icons (leofeyer)
  • #8323 Allow absolute URLs in DCA backlinks (aschempp)
  • #8292 Set status code 422 for widget errors in `AbstractBackendController::render()` (fritzmg)
  • #8305 Fix binary UUIDs in the back end search results (Toflar)
