Pkl, You shouldn't have to upgrade all your old sites to the latest version of Django, unless you want maintain current methods.
This is why we like virtual environments, much. The core team has made a nice set of security releases available via pip. Django 1.4.14, Django 1.5.9, Django 1.6.6, and Django 1.7 # See package version in your environment $\> pip freeze # This command should get fetch security updates w/out breaking eco-system. $\> pip install Django --upgrade # Worst case scenario you'll have to un-install current version and Install a specific version. $\> pip uninstall Django $\> pip install Django==1.4.14 More work to upgrade a bunch of virtuaenv's, but not as much as keeping all sites current, don't break your eco-system, unless there's a reason. It's wise to choose a balance best practices that suit your eco-system. I'd thank the team for issuing security releases for old versions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
