Django 1.11 LTS Support

[Nick Catalano]

Hi-

We want to use the latest version of DjangoCMS for our project, but far more important to us is we never want to run our website on a non-supported version of Django that isn't receiving security patches. The next LTS version of Django is 1.11, while 1.10 ends all support in December.

Will 3.4 (your LTS version) support 1.11 by December, when Django 1.10 ends support? Alternatively, will DjangoCMS 3.5 be released before December, support 1.11, and be a straightforward upgrade from 3.4?

Hello Nick

we have a patch for 3.4 supporting Django 1.11 on our radar, this also means 3.5 will support it (or patched thereafter).

Though we cannot say yet how smooth the update might be, that all depends on the upcoming Release Candidates.

Also when we are ready depends on testing, community contributions and our own available time. So you're welcome to help out.

Cheers

Angelo
