Django 4.2 released

The Django team is happy to announce the release of Django 4.2.

This version has been designated as a long-term support (LTS) release, which means that security and data loss fixes will be applied for at least the next three years. It will also receive fixes for crashing bugs, major functionality bugs in newly-introduced features, and regressions from older versions of Django for the next eight months until December 2023.

The release notes cover the farrago of new features in detail, but a few highlights are:

• psycopg version 3 support
• Comments on columns and tables
• Support for asynchronous streaming responses, and async interfaces for related managers and Model

You can get Django 4.2 from our downloads page or from the Python Package Index. The PGP key ID used for this release is Mariusz Felisiak: 2EF56372BA48CD1B.

With the release of Django 4.2, Django 4.1 has reached the end of mainstream support. The final minor bug fix release, 4.1.7, was issued on February 14, 2023.

Django 4.0 has reached the end of extended support. All Django 4.0 users are encouraged to upgrade to Django 4.1 or later.
