Status quo

We are running on Django 3.2.x, which is nice and all but considering Django 4.x being released in December 2021, we should analyze the changes and consider upgrading asap.

ToDo

Read the release notes carefully: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/4.0/
Make sure backwards incompatibilities won't have any effect on our project, especially on third party packages in use.
Be aware that Python >= 3.8 is needed for development as well as the production environment!

Changes to GEOS and Python

There have been issues detected on newer Python versions (needed by Django 4.0) and e.g. the newer Django GEOS library.

E.g. geometries created from string data resulted not in MultiPolygons but in GeometryCollections, which are not supported by the database.

Switching to Django 4.0 must be tested absolutely thoroughly before being deployed on staging or even production!
