Were currently running Django 1.5.1

Does anyone have any feedback or suggestions on whether its worth upgrading to 1.5.4?

We had recently upgraded from 1.1 to 1.5.1 just a few months ago, but were wondering if
there were any other benefits up to 1.5.4 that others may have experience outside of what is listed
in the release notes? less bug prone? performance improvements? speed up?

From what I could make out the security related items on the release notes from 1.5.2 up to 1.5.4 did not
seem critically urgent, but please correct me if I'm wrong here.

Hi

It depends on how the security issues impact you. Running on an intranet behind a firewall is different than running on the open internet. I have three sites running on the open internet and keep up with security releases because it is one less thing to worry about.

Cheers

François

You are incorrect when you say "the security related items on the
release notes from 1.5.2 up to 1.5.4 did not
seem critically urgent".

Francois get's it right - they may be non critically urgent for *your*
installation - but for a live, web facing system they are important.

And that's the factor you have to judge the upgrade on.

Be aware that 1.6 will be available soon (within a couple of months on
the outside), that does have some big improvements (and the security
patches above are part of that).

You can read about what changes it has in it here:

Cheers

From this perspective it is natural that anarchism be marked by
spontaneity, differentiation, and experimentation that it be marked by
an expressed affinity with chaos, if chaos is understood to be what
lies outside or beyond the dominant game or system. Because of the
resistance to definition and categorisation, the anarchist principle
has been variously interpreted as, rather than an articulated
position, “a moral attitude, an emotional climate, or even a mood”.
This mood hangs in dramatic tension between utopian hope or dystopian
nihilism...
