Django 1.11 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
=============================================
Welcome to Django 1.11!
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-1.11>`, as well as
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-1.11>` you'll
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 1.10 or older versions. We've
:ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
<deprecated-features-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+.
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.

Dropped support for PostgreSQL 9.2 and PostGIS 2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Upstream support for PostgreSQL 9.2 ends in September 2017. As a consequence,
Django 1.11 sets PostgreSQL 9.3 as the minimum version it officially supports.
Support for PostGIS 2.0 is also removed as PostgreSQL 9.2 is the last version
to support it.
Miscellaneous
-------------
* If no items in the feed have a ``pubdate`` or ``updateddate`` attribute,
:meth:`SyndicationFeed.latest_post_date()
<django.utils.feedgenerator.SyndicationFeed.latest_post_date>` now returns
the current UTC date/time, instead of a datetime without any timezone
information.
* Support for SpatiaLite < 4.0 is dropped.
* CSRF failures are logged to the ``django.security.csrf ``` logger instead of
``django.request``.
