This document summarizes the key changes and new features in Django 1.6, which was released in November 2013. Some of the major changes included a simpler project layout with fewer generated files, improved transaction handling with new atomic APIs, and the ability to reuse database connections between requests through the new CONN_MAX_AGE setting. Other additions were custom templates for projects and apps, more timezone awareness in querysets, and several performance improvements. The document provides details on each new feature and change and notes some deprecated functionality as well.
