Django Weblog: Django 6.0 alpha 1 released

Django 6.0 alpha 1 is now available. It represents the first 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 inthe in-development 6.0 release notes.

This alpha milestone marks the feature freeze. Thecurrent release schedulecalls for a beta release in about a month and a release candidate roughly a month after that. We'll only be able to keep this schedule with early and frequent testing from the community. Updates on the release schedule are availableon the Django forum.
