I agree with Simon, Jerome et al. Django 1.3 should feel free to go to 8.3 as a minimum Postgres if there are db backend changes that could take advantage of those versions' capabilities.
Ubuntu Hardy (the previous LTS) uses Postgres 8.3 and RHEL 5.5 uses 8.4. It really seems to me that the Django project allows for underlying databases to simply be too old. Django 1.2 will be supported until Django 1.4 is out, so people have the option to continue using 1.2 for a very long time if their organization has an exceedingly long upgrade cycle internally. In my mind, people in such organizations aren't installing Django updates until a year after the release anyway. With that knowledge, I would personally support Django 1.3 having minimums of Postgres 8.3 and MySQL 5.0 (again, if there is actual code written to take advantage of those versions, not just for the hell of it). -Adam Postgres Feature Matrix: http://www.postgresql.org/about/featurematrix MySQL 5.0.51a on Ubuntu Hardy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/mysql-server-5.0 PostgresSQL 8.3.11 on Ubuntu Hardy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/postgresql -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
