Week ending 2026-08-16 (Week 33)
The annual release cycle being approved and announced is very exciting - a bit of work ensuring we understand the changes and make sure we communicate this well with our community.
We’re also getting more tickets on the newly released Django 6.1 - these release blockers have been a focus of this week (and likely next week too).
