Django 6.2 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENTLink to this heading#

\n

Expected April 2027

\n

Welcome to Django 6.2!

\n

These release notes cover the new features, as well as\nsome backwards incompatible changes you\nshould be aware of when upgrading from Django 6.1 or earlier. We’ve\nbegun the deprecation process for some features.

\n

See the How to upgrade Django to a newer version guide if you’re updating an existing\nproject.

\n

Django 6.2 is designated as a long-term support release. It will receive security updates for at least\nthree years after its release. Support for the previous LTS, Django 5.2, will\nend in April 2028.

\n
\n

Python compatibilityLink to this heading#

\n

Django 6.2 supports Python 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14. We highly recommend and\nonly officially support the latest release of each series.

Adopting calendar versioningLink to this heading#

\n

Following DEP 20, the releases previously planned as Django 7.0 and 7.1 are\nnow Django 2028 and 2029. Accordingly, the deprecation warning classes are\nrenamed to match the calendar version in which the features they mark are\nremoved: RemovedInDjango70Warning becomes RemovedInDjango2028Warning,\nand RemovedInDjango71Warning becomes RemovedInDjango2029Warning.
