Django 1.11 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
=============================================

Welcome to Django 1.11!

These release notes cover the `new features`_, as well as some `backwards
incompatible changes`_ you'll want to be aware of when upgrading from Django
1.10 or older versions. We've `begun the deprecation process for some
features`_.

.. _`new features`: `What's new in Django 1.11`_
.. _`backwards incompatible changes`: `Backwards incompatible changes in 1.11`_
.. _`begun the deprecation process for some features`: `Features deprecated in 1.11`_

Django 1.11 is designated as a :term:`long-term support release`. It will
receive security updates for at least three years after its release. Support
for the previous LTS, Django 1.8, will end 6 months after the release date of
Django 1.11.

Python compatibility
====================

Like Django 1.10, Django 1.11 requires Python 2.7, 3.4, or 3.5. We **highly
recommend** and only officially support the latest release of each series.

The Django 1.11.x series is the last to support Python 2. The next major
release, Django 2.0, will only support Python 3.5+.
