v4.8.0
2026-03-16[!Warning] In #1813 we upgraded django-treebeard from version 4.8.0 to version 5.0.5. It added a lock on the
add_siblingmethod on top of the lock we added in #1971. This combined with the fact that we usedadd_sibling("right")for duplication makes the db perform many operations. If you activated the sandbox duplication for new users (settingUSER_ONBOARDING_SANDBOX_DOCUMENT) and have many docs, this can lead to database crashes and unfinished processes. This was fixed by removing the use of the methodadd_sibling("right")on all duplication algorithms. If you meet this criteria described above make sure you upgrade to 4.8.3.
