I linked to the release notes as they contained the actual feature list. Official release announcement here: https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/feb/25/releases/

The most exciting parts for me are all db related:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/postgres/

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/expressions...
