Django 6.0 release - timeline and next steps

Announcements
1

Hello!

With the release of Django 5.2 in April and the recent 5.2.2 bugfix, it’s time to look ahead to our next feature release: Django 6.0. You can find the timeline and roadmap on the 6.0 roadmap wiki page.

A few quick notes:

  • Feature freeze is scheduled for September 17. If you’re working on something that’s close to ready, feel free to flag it. We’ll do our best to support progress, though realistically not all in-progress features will land. Anything that doesn’t make it will be reconsidered for 6.1 or later.
  • At this stage, most of the bigger features expected for 6.0 are already in motion. In particular, we’re aiming to land support for Django tasks, and bring Content Security Policy (CSP) support into core.
  • DjangoCon US (September 8-12) happens just before the freeze, which may affect availability for reviews and final pushes. Please keep that timing in mind.
  • As always, testing the main branch, reporting bugs, reviewing tickets, and helping with blockers makes a big difference. Thanks to everyone who’s able to help!
