Release date of Django-Autocomplete-Light v4.0.0rc0?

MErenB opened this issue · 4 comments

Greetings Yourlabs team,
I am working on a project that is being ported from Django 1.8 to Django 4.0. Since latest django-autocomplete-light release (v3.9) is not supports Django 4.0, we cannot use django-autocomplete-light.
We're wondering when the django-autocomplete-light v4 will be released. Should we wait for its release, or should we find a replacement for our autocompletion needs?
If a replacement is needed, have you got any recommendations about which package to use?

Sorry I'm a bit confused with your questions:

  • Support for Django 4: already released on Feb 3rd in 3.9.1 already
  • DAL v4: no date planned, are you expecting a specific feature from DAL v4? DAL v4 introduces Autocomplete-Light WebComponent support, but only the python code for FK case was created and tested, the JS code is tested though. We could release it as-is, but I thought it would be nicer to add test cases for all the other cases, for the sports, but we don't have to wait until then if you really want it we can release a 4.0.0rc1, probably a good idea in theory!
  • Autocomplete-Light - alternative to select2: already released on NPM

Look, just let me know if you'd like to see a release of alight branch in production and I'll release 4.0.0rc0

For alternatives, see here: https://djangopackages.org/grids/g/auto-complete/

I also got confused by DAL not supporting Django 4 yet because of the README's Roadmap section.

  • DAL < 4 supports Python 2 and 3 and Django 1.8 to 3.x
  • DAL 4 supports Django 3.x and 4.x and Python 3
  • DAL >= 3.9 offers a modern alternative to select2

Yeah, the READ.me is also misleading, referring to Django LTS as 1.11

Python 2.7, 3.4, Django 2.0+ support (Django 1.11 (LTS), is supported until django-autocomplete-light-3.2.10),

Yep, sorry this repo is 11 years old today 🎂

Anyone wants to update this?
