This page contains notes on the major changes that need to be made to upgrade a Review Board-related codebase from Django 1.11 to 3.2.

Django 1.11 was used in Review Board 4.0. Django 3.2 is planned for use in Review Board 5.0.

If you're an extension author, the notes here will hopefully help you get your extension ready. We can also provide assistance as part of a Premium Support contract.
