*(Note: Recent versions of Channels also need recent versions of Daphne,
asgi_redis and asgiref, so make sure you update all at once)*

This is a work-in-progress code branch of Django implemented as a third-party
app, which aims to bring some asynchrony to Django and expand the options
for code beyond the request-response model, in particular enabling WebSocket,
HTTP2 push, and background task support.

This is still **beta** software: the API is mostly settled, but might change
a bit as things develop.

Documentation, installation and getting started instructions are at
http://channels.readthedocs.org

Support can be obtained either here via issues, or in the ``#django-channels``
channel on Freenode.

You can also install channels from PyPI as the ``channels`` package.
You'll likely also want ``asgi_redis`` to provide the Redis channel layer.
