Feature releases (A.B, A.B+1, etc.) will happen roughly every eight months. These releases will contain new features, improvements to existing features, and such. These can include documented backwards incompatibilities where a deprecation path isn’t possible or not worth the cost.

Patch releases (A.B.C, etc.) will be issued as needed, to fix bugs and/or security issues. These releases will be 100% compatible with the associated feature release, unless this is impossible for security reasons or to prevent data loss. So the answer to “should I upgrade to the latest patch release?” will always be “yes.”

The last feature release for a major version will be designated as long-term support (LTS) release. These releases will get security and data loss fixes applied for a guaranteed period of time, typically three years. Deprecations started in an LTS release (say X.2) will be dropped in a non-dot-zero release (Y.1).

See the supported versions policy for detailed guidelines about what fixes will be backported.

More information is available on the Django website.

You should be running one of the supported release numbers listed above in the rightmost column.

You can check the version that you are currently using by running:
