I'm currently using django 2.2 and faced the bug described here: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30335

This led me to this backport. I'm confused though, every time I try to install it pip install django-jsonfield-backport, it forces an upgrade to django 3.1, which is what I'm trying to avoid. If I force django back to 2.2, I get the error from the title django-jsonfield-backport 1.0.1 requires Django>2.2, but you'll have django 2.2 which is incompatible..

The docs say:

Requirements This package supports and is tested against the latest patch versions of:

Django: 2.2, 3.0, 3.1

Am I missing something with the installation? Or am I misunderstanding the purpose of this package?

Thanks

Hi @dfrank8, Are you using the latest patch version of Django 2.2, i.e. Django 2.2.16? This package only officially supports the latest patch versions, but I think it should still work on 2.2.x. However, with the version requirement specified as >2.2, I think you need at least 2.2.1 (not 2.2.0, which is what you get if you pip install Django==2.2).

I admit that I should've specified >=2.2 to avoid this issue, but then again, if you're using 2.2, you should update to the latest patch version every time. Django 2.2.0 is already years old and has security vulnerabilities.

This is fixed as of v1.0.2. Thanks for the report!
