Update supported versions for 3.14 release by tomchristie · Pull Request #8662 · encode/django-rest-framework (original) (raw)

Update supported versions in line with this proposal...

#8518 (comment)

• We release new versions of REST framework twice a year. Same as for Django.
• We aim each new release to arrive shortly after each Django release.
• We always support the latest 5 Django releases.
• We support whichever Python versions are required by Django.

Why "support the latest 5 Django releases"? Well, because I'd like it to always be a simple fixed number, and (unless I'm messing this up?) that's the lowest number we could pick that ensures we never drop a Django version that's still covered by their "extended support" policy.

The implication for our upcoming 3.14 release is that we ought to support...

• Django 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1.
• Python 3.6+. (See the Meta section of https://pypi.org/project/Django/3.0/)
