How do I request a new feature in 1.11.x?

[Chris Beck]

So there is a new feature being worked on in the master branch:

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28668 (adding ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING support to bulk_create)

How might I add a request that that feature be included in a future 1.11 release if possible? Since 1.11 is the last Python2 release and will be around for a few more years are new features being contemplated?

Cheers,

Chris

This is the end-users list, and most of the devs that would make such a decision aren't watching. You may have better luck with a solid answer on the Django dev list.

Personally, I would follow up directly within the ticket. The activity a ticket has is an informal indication of community interest and may garner more attention from the devs.

I believe that releases are feature locked, but given the deprecation of 2.7 support being a major blocker for upgrade to some environments, there may be a cause for an exception to backport features.

I'm not a dev, though, just a guy who occasionally writes code. My opinions mean nothing and I'm fine with that. ;-)

Thanks James,

I wasn't expecting action from my email, just advice on how to prompt for it - which you provided!

Cheers,

Chris

No, Django 1.11.x won't receive new features. The supported versions policy is the same for that release series as for other releases.

that's what I expected but 1.11.1 and 1.11.2 each added a minor feature

Those "features" were related to changes in Django 1.11 that caused problems that older versions of Django didn't have.
