Did you know that each Django release has a “code word” associated with it? It’s hidden in plain sight, in the announcement blog post describing the list of features coming in the next version. I think this is a lovely little tradition.

I last covered the list back in 2021, for Django 3.2 (post). This post expands the table up until Django 6.1, which is expected next month (the first release candidate came out earlier this week).

Each code word links to its Wiktionary entry so you can see the definition. The word frequency column is based on the English data in the wordfreq Python package, as occurrences per billion words, so higher numbers mean the word is more common.

(per billion words)1.7James Bennett...will bring several major new features to Django, along with a host of other improvements...58,9001.8Tim Graham...several major new features and a cornucopia of other improvements...3631.9Tim Graham... myriad of goodies...3,0901.10Tim Graham... panoply of new features...2091.11Tim Graham... medley of new features...1,9102.0Tim Graham... assortment of new features...1,8202.1Tim Graham... smorgasbord of new features...2632.2Carlton Gibson... salmagundi of new features...363.0Carlton Gibson... raft of new features...2,8803.1Mariusz Felisiak... potpourri of new features...2453.2Carlton Gibson... mezcla of new features...N/A (not in English data)4.0Mariusz Felisiak... abundance of new features...7,2404.1Carlton Gibson... profusion of new features...3314.2Mariusz Felisiak... farrago of new features...835.0Natalia Bidart... deluge of exciting new features...1,1205.1Natalia Bidart... kaleidoscope of improvements...6925.2Sarah Boyce... composite of new features...8,7106.0Natalia Bidart...assembles a mosaic of modern tools and thoughtful design...3,8006.1Jacob Walls...a harmonious mélange of new features...98

Some observations on the newer entries:

• Carlton’s mezcla (Django 3.2) wins on rarity, as it doesn’t even appear in the English word frequency data.
• Sarah’s composite (Django 5.2) was a wink at the composite primary key support added in that release.
• I ended my previous post of code words with the signoff “May your projects have their own mélange of new features”. Perhaps this inspired Jacob to make the upcoming Django 6.1’s code word mélange? I had better nail the signoff on this one then!
