# Django REST framework 3.16
At the Internet, on March 31th, 2025, we are happy to announce the release of Django REST framework 3.16.
## Updated Django and Python support
The latest release now fully supports Django 5.1 and the upcoming 5.2 LTS as well as Python 3.13.
The current minimum versions of Django still is now 4.2 and Python 3.9.
## Django LoginRequiredMiddleware
The new `LoginRequiredMiddleware` introduced by Django 5.1 can now be used alongside Django REST Framework, however it is not honored for API views as an equivalent behaviour can be configured via `DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES`.
## Improved support for UniqueConstraint
The generation of validators for [UniqueConstraint](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/models/constraints/#uniqueconstraint) has been improved to support better nullable fields and constraints with conditions.
## Other fixes and improvements
There are a number of fixes and minor improvements in this release, ranging from documentation, internal infrastructure (typing, testing, requirements, deprecation, etc.), security and overall behaviour.
See the [release notes](release-notes.md) page for a complete listing.
