 Significant new functionality continues to be planned for the 3.1 and 3.2 releases. These releases will correspond to the two [Kickstarter stretch goals](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tomchristie/django-rest-framework-3) - "Feature improvements" and "Admin interface". Further 3.x releases will present simple upgrades, without the same level of fundamental API changes necessary for the 3.0 release.
