Yes, this is how it's supposed to be. This agrees with Django's roadmap (see the "I’m the maintainer of a reusable application. Which Django versions should I support?" question at the bottom): https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jun/25/roadmap/ https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jun/25/roadmap/
However, it depends on the third party apps you're using. I have a Django 1.9 site that uses django-mptt. The site was running warning-clean, but when I attempted to upgrade the site to Django 1.10, it broke because of this issue: https://github.com/django-mptt/django-mptt/issues/469 https://github.com/django-mptt/django-mptt/issues/469
- jsmeaton 10y agoYeah dependencies are always going to be an issue unfortunately. Django can make as many recommendations as it likes, but you're still at the mercy of all other dependencies. Moving from 1.9 to 1.10 is different than moving from LTS to LTS. The hope is that 3rd party packages will be testing against LTS releases at the minimum, which should allow you to make the jump after packages have time to update themselves.
