Django 6.2 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
============================================
*Expected April 2027*
Welcome to Django 6.2!
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-6.2>`, as well as
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-6.2>` you

:ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
<deprecated-features-6.2>`.
See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
project.
Django 6.2 is designated as a :term:`long-term support release
<Long-term support release>`. It will receive security updates for at least
three years after its release. Support for the previous LTS, Django 5.2, will
end in April 2028.
Python compatibility
====================
Django 6.2 supports Python 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14. We **highly recommend** and
only officially support the latest release of each series.

.. _backwards-incompatible-6.2:
Backwards incompatible changes in 6.2
=====================================
Database backend API
--------------------
This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
backends.
* ...
Miscellaneous
-------------
* To facilitate the deprecation of the ``safe`` parameter of
:class:`~django.http.JsonResponse`, it now defaults to ``False``, because the
pollution vulnerability in the ``Array`` prototype was fixed in
`ES5 <https://262.ecma-international.org/5.1/#sec-11.1.4>`_.
* :class:`~django.core.serializers.json.DjangoJSONEncoder` now omits the
millisecond component of serialized ``datetime.datetime`` and
``datetime.time`` objects if they have zero milliseconds. For example,
``datetime.datetime(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1)`` now serializes to
``"2000-01-01T00:00:00"`` rather than ``"2000-01-01T00:00:00.000"``.
.. _deprecated-features-6.2:
Features deprecated in 6.2
==========================
Miscellaneous
-------------
* The ``safe`` parameter is deprecated from :class:`~django.http.JsonResponse`.
Omitting the argument is equivalent to the prior ``safe=False`` usage.
