The Django 1.3 roadmap
======================
Before the final Django 1.3 release, several other preview/development
releases will be made available. The current schedule consists of at
least the following:
* Week of **November 29, 2010**: First Django 1.3 beta release. Final
feature freeze for Django 1.3.
* Week of **January 10, 2011**: First Django 1.3 release
candidate. String freeze for translations.
* Week of **January 17, 2011**: Django 1.3 final release.
If necessary, additional alpha, beta or release-candidate packages
will be issued prior to the final 1.3 release. Django 1.3 will be
released approximately one week after the final release candidate.
What you can do to help
=======================
In order to provide a high-quality 1.3 release, we need your help. Although this
alpha release is, again, *not* intended for production use, you can help the
Django team by trying out the alpha codebase in a safe test environment and
reporting any bugs or issues you encounter. The Django ticket tracker is the
central place to search for open issues:
* http://code.djangoproject.com/timeline
Please open new tickets if no existing ticket corresponds to a problem you're
running into.
Additionally, discussion of Django development, including progress toward the
1.3 release, takes place daily on the django-developers mailing list:
* http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers
... and in the ``#django-dev`` IRC channel on ``irc.freenode.net``. If you're
interested in helping out with Django's development, feel free to join the
discussions there.
Django's online documentation also includes pointers on how to contribute to
Django:
* :doc:`How to contribute to Django </internals/contributing>`
Contributions on any level -- developing code, writing documentation or simply
triaging tickets and helping to test proposed bugfixes -- are always welcome and
appreciated.
Several development sprints will also be taking place before the 1.3
release; these will typically be announced in advance on the
django-developers mailing list, and anyone who wants to help is
welcome to join in.
