Easier guardrails for authentication: the new and shiny LoginRequiredMiddleware,when added to <tt class="docutils literal">MIDDLEWARE</tt>, enforces authentication for all views by default.
A more inclusive framework: Django 5.1 includes several accessibilityenhancements, such as improved screen reader support in the admininterface, more semantic HTML elements, and better association of help textand labels with form fieldsets.

I’m very exhausted to announce attrs 24.1.0!
It comes severely delayed, but I hope the many bug fixes, speed improvements, and features like __attrs_init_subclass__ or three-argument converters make the wait worth it.
Many thanks go to Klaviyo for their continued support at The Dedicated Organization tier!

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.

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.

I'm looking for some help running a GitHub organization dedicated to supporting community-maintained third-party #Django packages.
I've written up an introduction here: https://www.better-simple.com/django/2024/05/22/looking-for-help-django-commons/
You can join here: https://github.com/django-commons/membership
I want to thank everyone who donated. In the end we raised over $15,300 from over 280 Donations at #PyConUS!
This will contribute to building communities, giving Pythonistas a chance to lead initiatives and support a lot of conferences who want to see a more diverse Python community.
