Updates to Django
Last week we had 19 pull requests merged into Django by 14 different contributors - including 3 first-time contributors! Congratulations to γγ, Peter Bittner and Ryan Hiebert for having their first commits merged into Django - welcome on board!
Here are some of the final changes merged into Django 5.1 before the feature freeze:
- The new
django.core.validators.DomainNameValidatorvalidates domain names, including internationalized domain names. - The new
django.contrib.auth.middleware.LoginRequiredMiddlewareredirects all unauthenticated requests to a login page. - Collapsible fieldsets are now accessible for screen readers.
Please read the release notes for 5.1 and test the new features - this really helps Django 5.1 to be a success!
