django-last-active 0.1.1

A Django app to track when a user is last active and eventually provide weekly active user stats

last_active is a Django app to track when a user is last active on a website. The last active time is kept on the database.

It was forked from django-last-seen.

The intention is to eventually add weekly active user tracking feature as well.

Supports Software

• Python: 3.8, 3.9

• Django: 3.2

Support Policy

For Python, we will always support the latest two minor versions starting with 3.8 and 3.9.

When a new Python minor version is generally available, we will have two releases:

1. a -final release for the current major version that includes the latest Python minor

2. a brand new major version that will drop the oldest supported Python version

For Django, at any point in time, there will be a minimum of two or three versions with active support by Django Foundation.

Therefore, this plugin will similarly follow the same road map but with a 2 month delay.

1. when a new Django major version is generally available, the plugin will release a new major version that supports it within 2 months.

2. when a new Django minor version is generally available, the plugin will release a new minor version that supports it within 2 months.

3. when a Django minor version ends its extended support, the plugin will deprecate any versions that support that version 2 months later.
