Greetings
Thank you - - - -interesting news!
I'm a little confused though - - - - I have, at least in many things
so far that I've used,
software I mean, tended to move from one long term service version to the next.
Yet - - - Django is different - - - - it is suggested that I leave a
long term version
for a short term version, which will itself be followed by a short
term version, and then
after another period of time there will be a long term service
version. Shortly after
that long term service version has been reached, if the pattern used
for the transition
from version 2 to 3, version 4 will be offered.
So - - - - what gives the best long term stability of function for use
of Django?
1. forget long term service versions and expect to revise you code
every 6 to 8 months
2. use LTS code but using it until the release of the next major
version means that
interesting advancements again mean a relentless pattern of revision
3. don't worry about LTS and write the code and get the application to
work well and
hope that I can hold things working without major security issues
until its worth
redoing the application.
I'm starting to think that option #3 is looking more attractive.
Regards
