I like django, I really do. But the other day I had to reinstall a site built with Django 1.4 and was disappointed to find that the docs for it are no longer online :-(
- sgt 7y agoFirst hit when googling "Django 1.4": https://django.readthedocs.io/en/1.4.X/ https://django.readthedocs.io/en/1.4.X/
- nprateem 7y agoI didn't think to google because https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ 404s (and it was 4am). At least they're still online somewhere (but on the main site or a link to RTD would have been handy)
- sgt 7y agoGood point. I wonder how you would notify the Django team about simple things like that. They do get commercial backing so I think they have capacity to maintain old documentation as a matter of good habit.

But I strongly recommend you update ASAP, as v1.4 is likely to be riddled with security holes... Your best option is to go to this page to understand the upgrade process, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/howto/upgrade-version/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/howto/upgrade-version/ All information you need to upgrade is on that page, read it carefully.
