Bump Django Version
- Bump Django version to 4.2
- Make backwards incompatible changes
- Bump other dependencies
A quibble: this ticket says 2.2 but the Roadmap on Trello says 3.2 I will assume the Road Map is correct.
Hello world :-) This seems the most modern open-source publishing platform.. and I love Python + Django that I use myself.. however 1.11LTS has been outdated in 2017.. so this bump to a new and still supported LTS seem really important in terms of decision making :-)

Hello! In our upcoming release we’ll be making the jump to 4.2.
Awsome! Thanks for the info @ajrbyers :-)
When is the next major release planned with Django 3.2LTS? :-)
I guess you meant 3.2LTS as 4.2LTS is not yet released?
Will you bump a major release version with base Django change?

Thank you @ajrbyers :-)
I've also added a note to test against Python 3.10 once I get a stable build with Django 4.1.
Dropped markdown-duex in favor of python-markdown and an inhouse template tag.
After successful install and some hours with v.1.4.3-RC-4 I also find current WYSIWYG RichText editor amazignly confusing and unreliable.. it does not work smoothly, confuses blocks, several times copy-paste and edit operation resulted in truncated results required several agttempts with original always in the clipboard. I would be really disappointed using this editor as the core source of my text and then just see that 3/4 of what I wrote was gone :-)
World does not need fancy pancy msword in browser anymore, just reliable simple focus and goal oriented solutions.. personally I prefer MarkDown (as here) for simple formatting and scratchpad.. and LaTeX for serious works (articles, books, presentations). Having MarkDown editor like here on GitHub woud be really amazing.
In a perfect situation we would like to automate Issue generation.. I know and use LaTeX.. but there may be other tools to allow that in elegant way :-) Submission Fields + Simple universal formatting + Templates may be the way to go. Thank you! :-)
