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. \ No newline at end of file -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
