Django 2.0 is now available:

https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2017/dec/02/django-20-released/

With the release of Django 2.0, Django 1.11 has reached the end of
mainstream support. The final minor bug fix release (1.11.8) was
issued today. As a long-term support release, Django 1.11 will receive
security and data loss fixes until April 2020.

Django 1.10 has reached the end of extended support. All Django 1.10
users are encouraged to upgrade to Django 1.11 or later to continue
receiving fixes for security issues.

See the downloads page [1] for a table of supported versions and the
future release schedule.

I guess I noticed it updated the worst way possible:
  • A commit has been pushed
  • Continuous Integration tests passes
  • CI sends "it's safe to deploy" signal to production server
  • Downtime in production

My mistake? My "requirements.txt" file did not mention package versions.

Seeing the changelog, a lot of stuff changed. Seeing the tracebacks, some helper applications I use ("django-avatar" is one of them) will need updates before I migrate to the newer version.

That's a terrible way to find out about a new release. Hope you didn't suffer too much!

Regards,

Andréas

You should definitely make sure to lock/freeze your requirements to prevent
your application's behavior from changing under your feet.

Best,
Simon

If you use pipenv, it will do that for you.

I just wanted to take the chance to thank Tim and all the other people working on Django, especially on this big milestone for the project.

At least for me It has served me well over the last 5 years, has incorporated many useful features while still being relatively lean, and has top notch documentation.

Thanks for the hard work guys!
