After almost a year of development, the Django team announced the release of Django 1.8 .
This version of Django is a release with long-term support (LTS), which means that this release will be supported for about 3 years.
As always, there are a lot of new things, and this can be found in the release notes .
Short list of the most interesting:
- Native support for multiple template engines .
- Support for complex SQL statements through ORM.
- Formalized API for Model._meta .
- New PostgreSQL-specific functionality in django.contrib.postgres .
- Security improvement (added some functionality from django-secure )
