I'm not a core developer, so I might be mistaken or missing big things, but from my perspective, the big things are (in addition to the stuff I mentioned above how flow control compatibility): Amber Brown took over as release manager, python 3 compatibility landed, lots of new test utilities, Glyph and some of the original authors took steps back but are still involved, IHandshakeListener (makes TLS easier), support for TLS 1.3 cypher suites (though full support is still pending PyOpenSSL I guess?), WSGIResource supports IPv6... I maintain a Twisted-based web server called hendrix; we have integrated many of the new coolness and are fully Python 3 compatible. Check it out: https://github.com/hendrix/hendrix
In Die Threads: Python async code [video]
If you are deploying a new django project, let me suggest hendrix (twisted + django) as your WSGI publisher. hendrix makes concurrency simple, fun, and fast using Twisted, which is battle-tested and experiencing an amazing renaissance of young talent (as evidenced by the amazing vibes in the Twisted room at the PyCon sprints). https://github.com/hendrix/hendrix
In Django 1.9 Released
