Some of the highlights:

- Full text search for PostgreSQL.

- New-style middleware to solve the lack of strict request/response layering of the old-style of middleware.

- Official support for Unicode usernames.

I'm still stuck with Django 1.4 for one of my projects, it's such a big hurdle to upgrade it. I wonder if it's worth to just straight up rewrite it in 1.10.

1.4 to 1.5 is the really painful upgrade. The rest are much less so. Especially after 1.6.

As a Rails dude...is there any reason for me to learn Django at all? Everything I've heard about it is that it provides a lot of sane defaults (like Rails) but has much less "magic" than Rails is typically thought to have.

And if the answer to my question is yes, what books/tutorials/screencasts/courses to people recommend to get started with?

Looks like channels was not included in 1.10. Is there still a plan to package it with Django or is it better served to be a stand alone app for now?

According to channels' documentation:

> You can install Channels as a library for Django 1.8 and 1.9, and it (should be) part of Django 1.10.

It was withdrawn from the 1.10 release about 3 months ago, I think:

To quote Channel's author, Andrew Godwin: "I will take the path-most-trodden for me and large Django features, which is to run it as an external package, compatible with 1.8 through 1.10 (which the package already is), and let it mature and develop outside of core, before coming round to look again at inclusion for 1.11 or 2.0."

I don't see why you would need to learn it unless you wanted/needed to work on Python web projects. It is a fairly standard, opinionated web framework. I don't think there is anything unique enough to make learning it special.
