Hey Anton, You can find the release roadmap at https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Version1.8Roadmap
The current plan is to issue the beta on Friday, given that all current release blockers are fixed. There is a topic about the 1.8 release blockers on the django-developers mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/74_MZK27TAE There is also the django-announce mailing list that just mentions all releases: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/django-announce . The link to the RSS of our blog is https://www.djangoproject.com/rss/weblog/ which will also mention the beta release. /Markus On Wednesday, February 18, 2015 at 7:00:50 PM UTC+1, Anton Melser wrote: > > Hi, > > I have started a new project on 1.8 and am looking for an RSS or mailing > list that has release announcements for Django proper - is there anything? > My understanding was that the first Beta was supposed to come out on the 16 > Feb, is that right? > > Thanks! > Anton > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
