djust 0.4.0 ships 30+ features focused on developer experience: flash messages, keyboard shortcuts, form recovery, scaffolding generators, debug tooling, and security hardening. Build real-time Django apps with less code than ever.
The biggest djust release yet with 20+ major features. Authentication, server-push, multi-tenancy, PWA support, AI tooling, automatic change tracking, CSS framework support, and security hardening make 0.3 production-ready.
djust 0.2.2 transforms the debug panel from a static inspector into a live development companion. Event filtering, replay, network inspection, VDOM patch tracing, and live state updates via WebSocket — all wired up and working out of the box.
djust 0.2.1 locks down WebSocket event dispatch with an event name guard, @event_handler decorator allowlist, server-side rate limiting, and per-IP connection tracking. A security-focused release with zero new features to break.
We wrote 58 torture tests targeting every weak spot in djust's virtual DOM diff engine: 50-level deep trees, 500-sibling lists, keyed shuffles, duplicate keys, and rapid-fire state updates. Everything passed. Here's what we tested, what we found, and why it matters.
djust's JIT serialization pipeline analyzes your templates at render time, generates optimized serializer code, eliminates N+1 queries, and falls back gracefully when Rust can't reach @property attributes. Here's exactly how it works, and what we did to make it fast.
djust 0.2.0 ships template and/or/in operators, critical VDOM diffing and whitespace fixes, a new dj- event prefix, and major dependency upgrades. Here's what changed and how to upgrade.
djust now ships with three layers of WebSocket event handler security: event name guards, an @event decorator allowlist, and server-side rate limiting. Here's how they work together to protect your LiveView applications.
djust is a Django framework for building reactive, real-time applications in pure Python — powered by a Rust VDOM engine with 30x faster rendering than Django templates. No JavaScript framework required.
