Another boring release without much innovation. I wonder what's stopping Django from releasing more useful features like other frameworks are doing. Maybe the team is stuck in the past.

They've been trying to improve forms for a long time but it still sucks. I think they should just remove it at this point and let external packages solve the problem.

That's a good thing. A couple of articles related to the topic.

Not much no, but both the GeneratedField and db_default would be useful in almost all projects I've ever implemented in Django.

Good for you but they're niche features that most developers will never use. I certainly won't.

That's why I switched to NextJS anyway. Django's implementing features voted by the board and companies who fund the project the most. They don't care about end users anymore.
