Django now requires oracledb 4.0.2 or newer, raising its minimum supported version for Oracle database connections.

The minimum oracledb version for Django's Oracle backend is now 4.0.2 [1]. Oracle users will need to upgrade their database driver to meet this requirement.

Separately, the Django Software Foundation's working groups processed a membership update in line with a membership decision [2], thanking outgoing members for their service [3].

Action items

→ Bump oracledb to at least 4.0.2 in Oracle-backed deployments django/django [immediate]
→ No engineering action required; governance update only django/dsf-working-groups [monitor]
