Django 6.0 beta 1 is now available. It represents the second
stage in the 6.0 release cycle and is an opportunity to try out
the changes coming in Django 6.0.
Django 6.0 assembles a mosaic of modern tools and thoughtful design, which you
can read about in the in-development 6.0 release notes.
Only bugs in new features and regressions from earlier Django versions will be
fixed between now and the 6.0 final release. Translations will
be updated following the “string freeze”, which occurs when the release
candidate is issued. The current release schedule calls
for a release candidate in about a month, with the final release scheduled
roughly two weeks later on December 3.
Early and frequent testing from the community will help minimize the number of
bugs in the release. Updates on the release schedule are available on the
Django forum.
As with all alpha and beta packages, this release is not for production
use. However, if you’d like to try some of the new features or help find and
fix bugs (which should be reported to the issue tracker), you can grab a copy of the beta
package from our downloads page or
on PyPI.
The PGP key ID used for this release is Natalia Bidart: 2EE82A8D9470983E
