Quick Answers
How often does Djangify actually ship updates?
Regularly, and every update that affects how a shop works, looks, or complies with the law gets written up here, not just pushed silently.
Where's the deeper technical explainer?
How Djangify Works covers the architecture itself: self-hosted vs managed hosting, Docker, Stripe and security. Read the architecture overview
Do these updates apply to self-hosted too?
Most do. Managed hosting gets everything automatically; self-hosted owners apply updates on their own schedule, but the same features and fixes are there.
FAQ
Do I need to do anything when a new feature ships?
Managed hosting owners get updates automatically, nothing to install. Self-hosted owners update on their own VPS on their own schedule; the deploy guide included with the software covers how.
Why does a small legal change like the UK data protection update get its own post?
Because it's a real compliance obligation for every Djangify shop selling to UK customers, not a cosmetic feature. Anything with legal weight gets flagged here as soon as it's known, with the actual policy wording to add.
Is Djangify still actively developed?
Yes. This page exists because the pace of what's shipped is fast enough that a single changelog line wouldn't explain any of it properly.
Why write about things like cookie banners or checkout bugs instead of just fixing them quietly?
Because a Djangify shop is built on this software, and what changes under the hood affects trust, compliance and conversions on every one of them. Quiet fixes make that harder to track, not easier.
