The Django Debug Toolbar is a configurable set of panels that display various
debug information about the current request/response and when clicked, display
more details about the panel's content.
Here's a screenshot of the toolbar in action:

In addition to the built-in panels, a number of third-party panels are
contributed by the community.
The current stable version of the Debug Toolbar is 6.3.0. It works on
Django ≥ 4.2.0.
The Debug Toolbar has experimental support for `Django's asynchronous views
`_. Please note that
the Debug Toolbar still lacks the capability for handling concurrent requests.
If you find any issues, please report them on the `issue tracker`_.
Documentation, including installation and configuration instructions, is
available at https://django-debug-toolbar.readthedocs.io/.
The Django Debug Toolbar is released under the BSD license, like Django
itself. If you like it, please consider contributing!
The Django Debug Toolbar was originally created by Rob Hudson
in August 2008 and was further developed by many contributors_.

A store can either be backed by various backends. The toolbar will support a memory and database backend to start. **The toolbar is now using Django's `SafeExceptionReporterFilter.cleanse_setting()` function to filter out sensitive information.** Some data will be replaced with `"********************"`. This is because the toolbar |

| `5.0.0-alpha` | 2024-09-02 | Low | ## Why 5.0 and why alpha? Version 5.0 does not contain any backwards incompatible changes. Instead it should be more compatible with async Django projects. However, the change did require some reasonably sized changes to the middleware. This is a large enough change that we wanted it to be effectively communicated to users of the toolbar. This release is an alpha because the async logic was tested, but we also understand that we haven't tested it in every scenario. We fully expect the proj |
