Add support for Django 4.1

[carlosdorneles-mb]

First, Thanks for this great project! 👍

Summary:
Current django-celery-beat requires Django (>=3.2.13,<4.1) and hence doesn't install together w/ Django 4.1.

[auvipy]

will relax the requirement and try to push a new release

[awemulya]

+1

[Olerdrive]

Any updates?

[auvipy]

work in progress #567

[boatcoder]

I'm going to do the same on the testing front

[Crocmagnon]

Is there still something preventing django-celery-beat from supporting Django 4.1?

[goatwu1993]

Django 4.1 support is merged into the master branch at #567
I believe the only thing left is a new release.

@auvipy anything I can help with for a new release?

[rbarsegi]

Please merge #589 to allow support for Django 4.1

[carlosdorneles-mb]

@rbarsegi PR #589 is not needed as PR #567 is already merged and it supports Django 4.1. We are just waiting for the generation of a new version of the code that is in the master.

[rbarsegi]

@carlosdorneles-mb #567 only updated test requirements from what I can tell. Install requirements are still behind (see the diffs in my PR). If you try to install from master branch right now it will downgrade Django to 4.0.x.

[auvipy]

#581 can anyone check the python 3.7 failures?

[goatwu1993]

@auvipy Upstream error by kombu & celery, caused by using importlib-metadata API which is deprecated at 5.0.0

Both libs have been fixed and merged but in 5.3.0 milestone.

celery/kombu#1601
celery/celery#7785

Only python < 3.8 needs importlib-metadata, which is why only python37 breaks here.

open #591 to prove.

[goatwu1993]

@auvipy please release a version for django 4.1 support, which has multiple cve fixed.

Would be glad to help if anything lack.
