Features under consideration

  • Multi-database support (Alex Gaynor's GSoC project)
  • Admin UI Enhancements (Zain Memon's GSoC project)
  • Improved/reworked CsrfProtection (see #9977, #10816)
  • i18n improvements (Marc Garcia's GSoC project)
  • Add {% doctype %} and {% field %} template tags from ​http://github.com/simonw/django-html/
  • Smarter {% if %} tag from ​http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1350/
  • Syndication feed views and better Atom support: ​http://github.com/bfirsh/syndication-view/

  • Allow inclusion of inlines in fieldsets (admin)
  • Add a method to the orm to create Model instances from raw sql queries (useful when the orm is limiting you)
