Channels Redis preps for Python 3.14 and Channels 4

Channels Redis is quietly modernizing its CI and docs for Python 3.14 and Channels 4, and you should care because it signals where the ecosystem is heading.

Channels Redis is aligning with the future: a pull request updates the lint check to run on Python 3.14 [1], and a companion PR updates the minimum Python version in the README [2]. The project also acknowledges that "channels is now at version 4 - the readme should be aware of this" [3], a clear signal that the async Redis layer is keeping pace with the core Channels framework. Meanwhile, django-asv adds results for ubuntu-latest to its benchmark suite [4], a minor but useful addition for performance tracking. These aren't breaking changes, but they matter if you're planning your Python 3.14 migration or considering Channels 4 adoption. The README fixes [3][2] ensure your documentation matches the actual supported versions, saving you from confusion later. With only 4 commits and 3 PRs across both repos this period, it's a quiet day, but the direction is clear.
