Django News - DjangoCon Europe Next Week! - Apr 10th 2026

Introduction

Hi everyone, sorry for the late send of Issue #331.

Last week, our provider, Curated, which is owned by Buttondown, went down and wasn't able to send our newsletter for six days. You might have received it yesterday, but not everyone did. It's the first time in several years we haven't been able to land in your inbox.

We've been in touch with their support all week and appreciate your patience while this gets sorted out.

In the meantime, Will and I are looking at other provider options. If this shows up next week looking a little different, that's probably why.

If you missed it, please check out last week's Issue 331: https://django-news.com/issues/331#start

Updates to Django

Today, "Updates to Django" is presented by Pradhvan from Djangonaut Space! 🚀

Last week we had 14 pull requests merged into Django by 9 different contributors - including 2 first-time contributors! Congratulations to Eddy ADEGNANDJOU and Rodrigo Vieira 🚀 for having their first commits merged into Django - welcome on board! 🥳

This week's Django highlights: 🦄

BaseModelFormSet.get_queryset() now uses totally_ordered to ensure stable ordering by appending "pk" as a tie-breaker when the queryset lacks deterministic ordering. (#37004)
Fixed handling of __in lookups with None in exclude() queries, ensuring correct SQL semantics by using OR and IS NULL instead of AND and IS NOT NULL. (#20024)
Fixed setting or clearing of request.user after alogin() or alogout() when sync middleware has already populated the user. (#37017)

Fellow Report - Natalia

I was traveling this week so I was less available than usual. My main priority was to support Jacob with anything needed for the upcoming security release, helping keep things on track during a critical phase. I also made an effort to stay on top of inbox and notifications, though seeing my current unread count I can confirm I have failed miserably.
