Building a Django driver for Psycopg 3

One of the goals of the Psycopg 3 project is to make easy to port code developed from Psycopg 2. For this reason the creation of a Django backend (the module you specify in the settings as your database ENGINE) was a project with a double goal:
- A Django driver is a way to make Psycopg 3 useful from the start, with the possibility of dropping it in a project transparently and have available, when needed the new features offered (for instance the superior COPY support).
- The difficulty of introducing Psycopg 3 in the Django codebase and the type of changes required are indicative of the type of problems that could be found porting other projects.
...and it's done! A few days ago, the new Psycopg 3 Django backend could pass the entire Django test suite!
Psycopg 2.9 released

Psycopg 2.9 has been released!
This is a relatively small release compared to previous major releases. However the creation of the packages took a lot of effort. The previously used CI system now has reduced support for free software projects - it was decided that package building should be moved to GitHub Actions.
Packaging has also become more complex because of the evolution of the Python packaging standards and the need to support multiple architectures (Intel, ARM, PPC...).
Maintaining a project such as Psycopg requires a lot of effort. For this reason, we are extremely grateful to all our sponsors who are enabling the maintenance and development of Psycopg. Thank you very much!
