Tracking v4.5.0

[mohmyo]

The last release was on Dec 7, 2019, since then, there were so many PR's with good features that had been already merged.

We're working on a release to come out soon. We'll at least get a patch version out in case of any mishaps with between Django 3.0 and 3.1.

I guess I can make this place a starting point for what we've changed:

• Just had a discussion with David; we'll get some small features inside a minor release. Something big like the httpOnly PR will have to wait a little bit longer.
• PRs should now work on CircleCI
• AFAIK Django 3.1 changes are mostly on the database side of things (except for the new async views).

Thanks for sharing this great news

Track 5.0.0: https://github.com/SimpleJWT/django-rest-framework-simplejwt/milestone/1

It'll bring SimpleJWT up to date with Django 3.1, drop Python 2 and Django 1.11, and add a couple new features

Related to #236.

A patch release that addresses the already-fixed-in-master DeprecationWarnings (#280, #186) would be great, thanks!

We'll get it through in a major release, hopefully by the end of this month if I'm not too busy. I'd like to make this all a major release to completely remove the Django 1 and Py2 compat code, add Django 3.1 to the bit while adding some new features, and mark a start for allowing plenty more features into SimpleJWT.

Tasks

• Django 3.1 compatibility w/ CircleCI tests
• Update some docs like JWTTokenUserAuthentication using a hidden setting apparently, zsh users needing to escape square brackets, and perhaps a dedicated security section.
• Drop remaining Python 2 compat. code

[Andrew-Chen-Wang]

Hey all. Just got pretty busy lately. I'll email David to push a minor version out next week to resolve the "RemovedInDjango40" warnings and include the other new features.

If anyone wants to take a stab at reconfiguring the tox and CircleCI environment for Django 3.1, be my guest!

[johnthagen]

Thanks @Andrew-Chen-Wang A minor version would be greatly appreciated. 😃

Releasing a minor version that will allow installation on Python 3.9 would be a big help #323

[Andrew-Chen-Wang]

@robd003 I'll email David again and see what's up. Additionally, it seems like PyJWT 2.0.0 may have made a breaking change that we'll need to fix beforehand ref #326

[Andrew-Chen-Wang]

Released!
