V. 5.0

This is major version which will drop compatibility with old Python and Django versions.

Supported Python versions are: 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11
Supported Django Versions are: 3.2, 4.1, 4.2

Upgrading since 4.x

Except from dropping support from older Python and Django versions there are no major changes in the API and most users will do not need to change anything in their code in order to upgrade from Django ImageKit 4.x to 5.x.

One minor thing that you can look for. If you are using Django 4.2+ and have more than one configured storage
using STORAGES you can now configure IMAGEKIT_DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE to use the name defined in STORAGES
instead of dotted path to the storage class
