This issue tracks the release note for the following Fedora Change:

Django 2.0
owned by @mrunge , @churchyard , @pviktori

If you own this change, please add additional information here that we should communicate to Fedora users. Specifically, please consider:

  • New features available because of this change - pick 2 or 3 that are important
  • Considerations for users of previous releases of Fedora (upgrade issues, format changes, etc.)
  • Links to any upstream Release Notes
  • If this helps Fedora be a superior environment for our target audiences, please explain how so that we can emphasize this.

Your notes to us do not need to be formally written. We will edit them and add details as needed. This is a way for you to ensure that we know what is critical about your change.

If you want to write this release note, then:

  • Assign this issue to yourself
  • Check the wiki page linked above, find out what the change is about
  • Determine whether the change actually made it into the release or not[0]
  • Write a draft release note using that information against the correct branch here, in Pagure. (or see below)
  • Get in touch with the contact person/people listed on the wiki page, either through IRC or e-mail, and ask them to check your draft for technical accuracy
  • Submit your Release Note as a PR to this repository.

Once you're done with the above, make sure to either commit the relnote to an appropriate section of the Release Notes book, or, if you're not familiar with Git, AsciiDoc, or whatever else, just add it to this issue as a comment and let pbokoc[1] and Brian ( @bex ) know that you're done with this one and you'd like the note included. Also make sure to do this even for relnotes that haven't been checked by the change owner.

[0] You can do that by asking the change owner listed on the wiki page; alternatively you can infer it by checking the tracker bug (linked in Wiki) in Bugzilla and looking at its status; see bug comments for details. Ask someone on the mailing list or on IRC if you're not sure.
[1] In #fedora-docs on FreeNode (UTC+1 timezone, online mostly during the day on weekdays), or pbokoc @redhat.com if you can't get a hold of me on IRC.


New features available because of this change - pick 2 or 3 that are important

Django 2 is available in Fedora 28, it has simplified URL routing syntax, mobile-friendly admin interface and brand new Window expressions. It only supports modern Python 3 and drops the legacy Python 2 support.

Considerations for users of previous releases of Fedora (upgrade issues, format changes, etc.)

If you've used python2-django from rpm package, make sure you use python3-django and run your code on Python 3. If absolutely necesery, use the backward compatible package python2-django1.11.

If this helps Fedora be a superior environment for our target audiences

Not really.

  • django 2.0 finally dropped support for python2.7, and only supports python3.x. Packages dependent on python-django were rebuilt, python-2 subpackages have been dropped. If your application really still requires a older version, python-django1.11 was added for compatibility reasons-
