During May Wookey moved 'expoweb' from mercurial to git largely "as-is". Mark Shinwell has said that he will help on the loser (survex files) migration to git.
<p>In May we were on django 1.7 and python 2.7.17. Sam continued to work on upgrading django from v1.7 . We wanted to upgrade django as quickly as possible because old versions of django had unpatched security issues.
[Upgrading to later django versions <a href="troggle/trogdjangup.html">is a real pig</a> - not helped by the fact that all the tools to help do it are now out of date for these very old django releases.]

<h4>July 2020</h4>
<p>Wookey upgraded debian on the server from 9 <var>stretch</var> to 10 <var>buster</var> and we got the python3 development of troggle running as the public version (with some http:// and https:// glitches) by 23rd July. <var>Buster</var> will be in-support definitely until June 2024 so we are rather pleased to be on a "not ancient" version of the operating system at last.

Django 2.2 LTS is a long-term stable relase which will be in-support by Django until April next year. Wookey discovered and ran the Django system testsuite on the Debian server thus enabling us to use a necessary (but obstensibly outdated) link between Django and the database MariaDB. As of April 9th troggle is now running on software which is actually 'in date'.</p>
