WordPress 3.1 released
The WordPress 3.1
release is out. "This release features a lightning fast
redesigned linking workflow which makes it easy to link to your existing
posts and pages, an admin bar so you're never more than a click away from
your most-used dashboard pages, a streamlined writing interface that hides
many of the seldom-used panels by default to create a simpler and less
intimidating writing experience for new bloggers (visit Screen Options in
the top right to get old panels back), and a refreshed blue admin scheme
available for selection under your personal options." Strangely,
the code name for this release is "Django". (Update: the code name has since been changed to "Reinhardt".)

The code name is "Reinhardt" after Django Reinhardt. Wordpress uses jazz musician names for their code names https://wordpress.org/about/roadmap/

Code name change Posted Feb 23, 2011 21:35 UTC (Wed) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link] It appears that the reason to consider it a strange name is that there is another web framework thingy named Django, which I had never heard of before. Seems like complaining about this gives the Django people some much-needed publicity.I had thought maybe Jon was finding it odd to name a release after a spaghetti-western character.

Seems like complaining about this gives the Django people some much-needed publicity. Django is widely known (and used) by Python web developers. The reason to change the name was probably more of a need not to step on anyone's toes or confuse people (just like it would be inadvisable to call it Wordpress Zend, or Wordpress Ubuntu).

Also, because there's a Django Foundation that holds the "Django" trademark.
