Django 5.0 released
The Django team is happy to announce the release of Django 5.0.
The release notes cover a deluge of exciting new features in detail, but a few highlights are:
- The database-computed default values allow for defining database-computed defaults to model fields.
- Continuing the trend of expanding the Django ORM, the generated model field allows the creation of database generated columns.
- The concept of a field group was added to the templates system to simplify form field rendering.
You can get Django 5.0 from our downloads page or from the Python Package Index. The PGP key ID used for this release is Natalia Bidart: 2EE82A8D9470983E.
