Django 5.1 beta 1 released
Django 5.1 beta 1 is now available. It represents the second stage in the 5.1release cycle and is an opportunity for you to try out the changes coming inDjango 5.1.
Django 5.1 brings a kaleidoscope of improvements which you can read about inthe in-development 5.1 release notes.
Only bugs in new features and regressions from earlier versions of Django willbe fixed between now and the 5.1 final release. Translations will be updatedfollowing the "string freeze", which occurs when the release candidate isissued. The current release schedule calls for arelease candidate in a month from now, and a final release to follow about twoweeks after that, scheduled for August 7th.
Early and frequent testing from the community will help minimize the number ofbugs in the release. Updates on the release schedule are available on theDjango forum.
As with all alpha and beta packages, this is not for production use. But ifyou'd like to take some of the new features for a spin, or to help find and fixbugs (which should be reported to the issue tracker), you can grab a copy of the betapackage from our downloads page oron PyPI.
