- collinmanderson 8y agoI maintain a Django ecommerce site that's been running constantly since July 12, 2007 (at launch it was running against r4984, basically 0.96). Just upgraded it to 2.1 today.
- chocolatkey 8y agoAny struggle with the upgrade?
- collinmanderson 8y agoNo struggle. I regularly develop and test it against Django master with loud warnings so I fix compatibility issues one at a time as they appear in Django master. I also don't use any 3rd party libraries which means I can upgrade right away. In this cycle all I needed to tweak was something related to `use_required_attribute` on a form, and I did that back in March. I needed to add `renderer=None` to to my form field render() method, but I did that back when it was a warning in March 2017.
- paganel 8y agoI have some personal websites that still run on Django 0.96. I also keep the source-code for them in svn and use Trac 0.12 (I think) for pretty-viewing the code in the repository. It’s nice seeing commits you made 11 or 12 years ago.
