News
This is the first release candidate of Python 3.13.0.
If you used setup.py test to test your Python packages, you will need to migrate to another test runner. After five years of deprecation warnings, the test command has finally been removed.
A number of noteworthy changes in the most recent release of this popular package.
Updates to Django
Today 'Updates to Django' is presented by Raffaella Suardini from Djangonaut Space!
Last week we had 22 pull requests merged into Django by 15 different contributors - including 4 first-time contributors! Congratulations to Muhammad N. Fadhil, Ellen, Lorenzo Peña and Csirmaz Bendegúz for having their first commits merged into Django - welcome on board!
In Django 5.0.8, there is a bug fix which fixed a crash when creating a model with a Field.db_default and a Meta.constraints constraint composed of __endswith, __startswith, or __contains lookups.
Also a regression in Django 5.0.8 and 4.2.15 that caused a crash in LocaleMiddleware when processing a language code over 500 characters.
