Django 5.2 release - status and next steps

Announcements
1

Hello hello :wave:

Here are a few updates regarding the Django 5.2 release:

  • Feature freeze is scheduled for January 15th. If there are new features that you believe are close to being merged, please let us know. While we will do our best to push these forward, we cannot guarantee that all new features currently in progress will make it into 5.2. However, any features that do not make it into this release will certainly be considered in future releases like 6.0, and beyond.

  • You can help us by testing the dev branch, finding bugs early, triaging tickets, reviewing PRs, contributing fixes to release blockers, and more. Your assistance with these tasks is really valuable. If you’re able to do any of the above, we’d greatly appreciate it! :green_heart:

Yesterday we conducted the feature freeze and cut the stable/5.2.x branch.
No new features will enter Django 5.2 :lock:

Today, we released Django 5.2 alpha 1: Django 5.2 alpha 1 released | Weblog | Django

This officially starts the bug fixing phase of the release.
If you get a chance, please test Django 5.2. It is both very valuable and very appreciated :green_heart: :pray:
