Django 3.2 | October 15, 2021 |
Ongoing Upgrades
Keeping software up to date is important and can be quite difficult when multiple teams and code bases are involved. This page can be used as a reference for product + engineering and lists the major platform upgrades that are in progress. Please keep it up to date. Items are roughly listed from most active/urgent to least so.
A chart of our foundational dependencies, and their support windows is at Support Windows.
Django 3.2
What is this?
The next LTS release of Django after the 2.2 LTS release we currently use. Django 2.2 support ends in April 2022, but we’d like to largely complete the upgrade before October 15, 2021 in order to be included in the Maple release so Open edX operators have time to upgrade before the end of support.
What do I do?
If you are part of the owning squad for one of the IDAs to be upgraded, we will reach out to you soon with next steps.
Where are we now?
The project has been kicked off and is tracked in Django 3.2 Upgrade.
