 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+.
 
+Deprecating warnings are no longer loud by default
+==================================================
+
+Unlike older versions of Django, Django's own deprecation warnings are no
+longer displayed by default. This is consistent with Python's default behavior.
+
+This change allows third-party apps to support both Django 1.11 LTS and Django
+1.8 LTS without having to add code to avoid deprecation warnings.
+
+Following the release of Django 2.0, we suggest that third-party app authors
+drop support for all versions of Django prior to 1.11. At that time, you should
+be able run your package's tests using ``python -Wd`` so that deprecation
+warnings do appear. After making the deprecation warning fixes, your app should
+be compatible with Django 2.0.
