Django Software Foundation

We're back with Feature Fridays to celebrate the 6.0 release. Starting with... background tasks! Django 6.0 includes a new Tasks framework for running code outside the request-response cycle. Neat for things like sending email or processing data... #Django #DjangoFeatureFriday To make a function callable as a task, just add the `@task` decorator! You can also add fields like priority, backend, queue name, and more. But how do you actually run tasks? With `enqueue`! This will add the task to the configured queue, ready to be picked up by the next available worker process. An important caveat: While Django provides task APIs and reference task backends, it does not yet offer built-in production-ready backends nor worker processes. So for now, using tasks still requires third-party library setups like django-tasks or celery. We hope this unified interface makes it much easier to work with background tasks in Django, and we're looking forward to seeing how the community adopts and builds on top of it!

(Google Summer of Code project by Farhan Ali Raza, mentored by Carlton Gibson) - Background Tasks: run code outside the HTTP request-response cycle with a built-in, flexible task framework. (Jake Howard) - Content Security Policy (CSP): easily configure and enforce browser-level security policies to protect against content injection.
