GNIP 88: Upgrade from Django 2.2 to 3.2

Proposed By

Assigned to Release

This proposal is for the GeoNode master.

State

• Under Discussion
• In Progress
• Completed
• Rejected
• Deferred

Motivation

Since version 2.2 will be deprecated the next year, is better to upgrade to the new TLS version.

Proposal

Django provides a sort of guide to upgrade with some steps to follow. After this, the steps are:

• upgrade Django from 2.2 to 3.2
• upgrade GeoNode dependencies
• Fix the code that is no more compatible or deprecated (ex: lxml (deprecated) or from django.utils import six (removed) )

Backwards Compatibility

Future evolution
