Remove Django 1.6 (and Python 2.6) Support by carltongibson · Pull Request #3429 · encode/django-rest-framework (original) (raw)

Django 1.6 is out of extended support — it is no longer receiving even security patches — it should not be used.

We should drop support too:

• Helps with the maintenance burden for DRF
• Doesn't give implicit blessing to keep using Django 1.6

Todo:

• Remove Django 1.6 and Python 2.6 from text matrix
• Remove 1.6 related code from compat.py
• Adjust README and Release Notes.

Once we get here (and 1.4 is EOL) we could/should adopt a policy of following Django's current "extended support" versions.
