Django Fellow Reports
Django Fellow Report - Natalia
A very security-heavy week . Most of my energy went into preparing and testing patches for the upcoming security release, including a tough vulnerability that I spent quite some time wrestling with. It was demanding and a bit exhausting, but everything is now on track for next week’s release.
Django Fellow Report - Jacob
This week we landed the JSONNull expression I mentioned last week. We also landed a follow-up to the database delete behavior feature to add support in inspectdb.
Updates to Django
Today, "Updates to Django" is presented by Raffaella from Djangonaut Space! 🚀
Last week we had 14 pull requests merged into Django by 11 different contributors - including 3 first-time contributors! Congratulations to Hal Blackburn, Mehraz Hossain Rumman, and Harsh Jain for having their first commits merged into Django - welcome on board!
Fixed a bug in Django 5.2 where proxy models having a CompositePrimaryKey incorrectly raised a models.E042 system check error.
Refactored async code to use asyncio.TaskGroup for cleaner, modern concurrency management.
Thank you for the hard work on this. 🎉
