Hi Yann, There's [a thread on django-users][1] that should answer your request.
>From Russ "It's difficult to give an exact date for the release of Django 1.5. We've put out 2 beta releases, which means there are no more features to be added; and the list of release blocking bugs is down to single figures" There are currently [2 open release blockers][2], so I'd expect there will be a new ETA sometime after those are resolved.
