Django 3.0 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
============================================

*Expected December 2019*

Welcome to Django 3.0!

These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-3.0>`, as well as
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-3.0>` you'll
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 2.2 or earlier. We've
:ref:`dropped some features<removed-features-3.0>` that have reached the end of
their deprecation cycle, and we've :ref:`begun the deprecation process for
some features <deprecated-features-3.0>`.

See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
project.

Python compatibility
====================

Django 3.0 supports Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8. We **highly recommend** and only
officially support the latest release of each series.

The Django 2.2.x series is the last to support Python 3.5.

Third-party library support for older version of Django
=======================================================

Following the release of Django 3.0, we suggest that third-party app authors
drop support for all versions of Django prior to 2.2. At that time, you should
be able to run your package's tests using ``python -Wd`` so that deprecation
warnings appear. After making the deprecation warning fixes, your app should be
compatible with Django 3.0.
