#2Thanks a lot..
Re: Django 4.0
#3I must learn Django, it's got everything I'll ever need. No, Rails will make me happy and it's better for lonely devs like me. No I must learn a Modern Web Framework (TM) to prove I'm not stuck in the past. No way, I'm not a fashionista. Have you seen that Phoenix demo where the guy builds Twitter in like 4 minutes? That's the future. Hold on a minute, enough of this magic. I need to learn to build everything in Common Lisp and own my code 100%! Wait I don't actually have the time for that. Django is the way, it's so solid, just that it won't bring me joy....

#4While it doesn't seem like a major update at first glance on this news piece, the changelog is available here : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/releases/4.0/
Of note, in my opinion :
- The new AddConstraintNotValid operation allows creating check constraints on PostgreSQL without verifying that all existing rows satisfy the new constraint, meaning that one can now create constraints on big postgres tables without a waiting period.
- Async methods are coming, to cache for now but hopefully soon to the ORM. They are prefixed with a `a` in the name
- DeleteView now uses FormMixin, allowing you to provide a Form subclass, with a checkbox for example, to confirm deletion. In addition, this allows DeleteView to function with django.contrib.messages.views.SuccessMessageMixin. This is a big thing if you use DeleteViews, as you can now easily show a message post-deletion to the user.

#5Congratulations on the release!! I'm looking forward to give it a go and see what's new for myself.
Re: Django 4.0
#6Great news!
Just for reference: The latest release for Django Rest Framework is not compatible with Django 4.0 yet. At least my first attempts failed due to a missing `pytz` dependency. This is fixed in the `master` of DRF on Github. Installing `pytz` explicitly again to your project fixes DRF for now.

Yep, web solutions change too fast, with lots of legacy, and every solution is a compromise.

Do you know if the ORM solution have the same `a` suffix for async interface?
I really hope there is more elegant solution for all this.

#10I recently upgraded [0] one of my project [1] to Django v4, from Django v1. The changes from Django 3 to 4 were fairly simple, just one line change in my case. The change log is extremely detailed, it was easy to upgrade. Also, I found a tool called django-upgrade [2] which makes some changes automatically, rest I made manually.
