Django 6.0 beta 1 released

I'm glad template partials are making it into core. They pair really well with HTMX. And the fact that they're composable with django-cotton makes me happy.

I also like that background tasks are taking a step forward. It'd be really nice if django-q2 and celery adopt that interface; then you could gradually add deployment complexity as you need richer control. As it stands now, I just default to celery, which is absolutely overkill. But it'd be a pain to go from django-q2 to celery, so if I think I need background tasks at all, Celery is it.

Still no sign of type annotations. Will it ever happen for Django?

There's a previous entry about background tasks and how they came to be: https://lobste.rs/s/cg7zbe/django_tasks_exists.
