# Week ending 2026-06-21 (Week 25)

Lots of preparation for the upcoming 6.1 βeta, with the goal of stabilizing recent changes and ensuring overall readiness 🚀. I also spent time digging into Django’s async behavior, reviewing recent changes and following through on related optimizations and documentation updates 📒. I also looked more closely at packaging and reproducibility, especially around artifact builds, to improve our consistency in the release process 📦.
