Bug fixes

Remove discontinued Google Analytics (Universal Analytics). This was shut down by Google in June 2023.
Fix issues with custom image models. A bug was introduced in some migrations with 2.0 which hard-coded the wagtail image class in some snippets.

Upgrade considerations

This should be a straightforward upgrade with no major functional changes.

Be sure to read the Wagtail 5 upgrade considerations.

If you'd like to add our new developer tooling to your existing project, copy the pyproject.toml and requirements-dev.txt. files.
