The Django team has released Django 6.1, introducing new features like model field fetch modes, database-level delete options for ForeignKey, and dictionary-based email settings. This release marks the end of mainstream support for Django 6.0, which will receive security and data loss fixes until April 2027. Users are encouraged to upgrade to Django 6.1 to benefit from the latest improvements and continued support. The new version is available for download from the official Django website or the Python Package Index.
