Take a look at the release notes for 1.5 and 1.6, and see if there's anything there that would be useful to your project. I would advise keeping as current as you're able to, to reduce the migration costs in the future. Migrating to 1.5, testing, and then to 1.6 would probably be the best way forward. Just take a look at the backward incompatible changes in both sets of release notes to get an idea of how the migration will affect you. There are lots and lots of nice improvements in 1.6 and especially 1.7 that you may be interested in. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.5/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.5/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.6/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.6/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.7/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.7/
