Status of 3.0 release blockers

2019-09-10 Thread Carlton Gibson
Hi all. 

Time to begin the release process for 3.0! 🎉

The feature freeze was yesterday, with some last things making it over the 
line. 

Claude has updated the translations catalogs already. 

Mariusz and Simon have cleaned up the last release blocker this morning, so 
we've branched 
stable/3.0.x and we're ready to go with 3.0 alpha 1 today. 

The schedule[0] is for the alpha today, beta in a month or so, release 
candidate a month after that. 
Final release is due December 2nd. 

https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Version3.0Roadmap#schedule

We will use this thread to update on any changes. 
To that, please test early and often. 

Thanks all for your super efforts on this release cycle! 

Kind Regards,

Carlton

Django 3.0 alpha 1 released

2019-09-10 Thread Carlton Gibson
We've made the first release on the way to Django's next major 
release, Django 3.0! 

With about two and a half months until the 
final release (scheduled for December 2nd), we'll need timely testing 
from the community to ensure an on-time, stable release. 

Check out the blog post:

Announcing the Django Forum

2019-09-10 Thread Andrew Godwin
Hi all,

If you recall, last month I brought up the idea of a Django Forum (
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/HGAHQqKp7rs) -
we're now ready to launch this forum in a test phase!

You can find it at https://forum.djangoproject.com

Like our Trac, it's tied into GitHub authentication, so there's no need to
register another account or anything.

While this is still technically a test period, we'll likely make it fully
official within the next month or two.

There are sub-forums/categories for both Django Internals (the things this
list talks about) and also Using Django (django-users content) - and if you
feel like helping people out, you can watch an entire category inside of
Discourse (click the circle on the top-right of a category page) and it'll
email you about everything that gets posted. You can even reply to those
emails, or sign up for a daily digest, if you want to keep the mailing list
feel.

We're not deprecating the mailing lists or anything - the forum is meant to
supplement them, and especially to provide a more accessible place for new
Django users and developers to ask questions without the perceived
overhead/global broadcast of a mailing list. It'll also provide us with a
nice way to have a lot of async discussions (
https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/async) without bombarding the
rest of you!

Feedback about the forum is welcome either in this thread, or in the
feedback thread over in the forum (
https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/forum-feedback/17/).

See you there!

Andrew
