The Django team is happy to announce the release of Django 5.1.

The release notes
showcase a kaleidoscope of improvements. A few highlights are:

Easier guardrails for authentication: the new and shiny LoginRequiredMiddleware,
when added to MIDDLEWARE, enforces authentication for all views by default.
A more inclusive framework: Django 5.1 includes several accessibility
enhancements, such as improved screen reader support in the admin
interface, more semantic HTML elements, and better association of help text
and labels with form fieldsets.
The second oldest ticket fixed in this release provides the long awaited
querystring template tag,
which greatly simplifies the handling of query strings when building URLs in
templates.

(If you are curious about the oldest ticket fixed in this release, check out Ticket #10743.)

You can get Django 5.1 from our downloads page or from the Python Package Index. The PGP key ID used for this
release is Natalia Bidart: 2EE82A8D9470983E.

With the release of Django 5.1, Django 5.0 has reached the end of mainstream
support. The final minor bug fix release, 5.0.8, was issued yesterday.
Django 5.0 will receive security and data loss fixes until April 2025. All
users are encouraged to upgrade before then to continue receiving fixes for
security issues.

See the downloads page for a table of
supported versions and the future release schedule.
