Hello from the new Steering Council; and a quick temporary voting process change
Hello Django community! The Steering Council is officially in action and we want to give you a heads up on a change we're making for the short-term. The process for formal Steering Council votes (documented in DEP 10) has not been working. It's our goal for the community to refresh Django's governance during the upcoming release cycle. In order to allow us to move forward now, and under supervision of the DSF Board, we are suspending use of the +1, 0, -1 public voting system in cases where a Steering Council consensus clearly exists. Instead, we will deliberate internally, summarize our opinions, and share that publicly (location and full details TBD). We hope that this allows us to move faster on the smaller things we have in front of us currently. We appreciate all of your patience and look forward to what we all do together! -- The Django Steering Council: Carlton, Emma, Frank, Lilly, and Tim -
Django 5.2 alpha 1 released
Django 5.2 alpha 1 is now available. It represents the first stage in the 5.2 release cycle and is an opportunity for you to try out the changes coming in Django 5.2. Django 5.2 brings a composite of new features which you can read about in the in-development 5.2 release notes. This alpha milestone marks the feature freeze. The current release schedule calls for a beta release in about a month and a release candidate about a month from then. We'll only be able to keep this schedule if we get early and often testing from the community. Updates on the release schedule are available on the Django forum. As with all alpha and beta packages, this is not for production use. But if you'd like to take some of the new features for a spin, or to help find and fix bugs (which should be reported to the issue tracker), you can grab a copy of the alpha package from our downloads page or on PyPI. The PGP key ID used for this release is Sarah Boyce: 3955B19851EA96EF
