I wrote a "Django 5.0 is out" post.

Other people have covered new features well, so I focused on a few other things: understanding Django's version numbering system, how to upgrade a simple project, and a small section on deployment.

Mostly Python · Django 5.0 is out!By Eric Matthes

@CodenameTim I think I'd seen this once before. 4.2 and 5.0 are not categorized correctly at the moment, are they?

@ehmatthes I thought they were. What were you expecting?

@CodenameTim @ehmatthes I have been meaning to update this. I'll do that tonight.

I was meaning to move this to Django Packages along with a readiness check, but first I'll update my blog's

@webology @CodenameTim This is a much better visualization than the static one on the Downloads page.

@webology @jbeimler @CodenameTim Thanks Jeff, I updated the post to include this.

@CodenameTim It currently shows 4.2 and 5.0 as prereleases, just like 5.1 and 5.2.

This visualization is more interesting than the one for Python, because it shows the overlap between various LTS and non-LTS releases so clearly.
