The release notes can be found at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/releases/1.6/ Personally, I'm happy that Python 3 is now officially supported, though in practice I haven't had an issues with using Django 1.5 with Python 3.

How is library support? I didn't have any issues with django 1.5 itself, but many of my favorite libraries weren't ready yet.

Django Packages lists 160 apps that work with Python 3. See https://www.djangopackages.com/python3/

From personal experience, most of the critical ones are compatible.

Well, apart from Fabric.

Fabric isn't part of Django. There is nothing specific about Django in Fabric. In fact, the vast majority of my deployments do not use Fabric.

Looks like somebody jumped the gun when they saw the commits and uploads happening; the official release announcement went up only a few minutes ago, and is here:

https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2013/nov/06/django-16-r...

The release notes are here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/releases/1.6/

Also: if you downloaded the package in the period between the parent link going up, and now, you might want to grab it again. The first roll of the 1.6 package (which wasn't announced, so we could do final checks first) failed to update our trove classifier, so the package was regenerated, which changed its signature and checksums.
