Updates to Django
Updates to Django
From Djangonaut Program Member Anvansh Singh.
Last week, the Django community experienced 10 merged pull requests, accompanied by the exciting debut of remarkable first-time contributors Gregor Jerše and davidolz. Their impactful entrance is warmly embraced by the community!
Gregor Jerše made a significant first contribution by improving accessibility for screen reader users, associating form fields with their help text using aria-describedby.
This change enhances navigation and understanding of the form. If you have a custom aria-describedby attribute defined in a form widget, please read the updated documentation to take advantage of the improved accessibility for Django 5.0.
Other notable contributions included Mariusz Felisiak's closure of a 15-year-old ticket (#9602) by adding a new method AdminSite.get_model_admin which returns an admin class for the given model class. Amazing!
Want to make a contribution? Head over to https://code.djangoproject.com/query, pick a ticket, and start working. You may be the next star for this section. Stay tuned for more exciting updates next week!
