for those keeping up with Django’s async story the biggest updates with Django 5.0 are:

The new asynchronous functions are now provided, using an a prefix: django.contrib.auth.aauthenticate(), aget_user(), alogin(), alogout(), and aupdate_session_auth_hash().

AuthenticationMiddleware now adds an HttpRequest.auser() asynchronous method that returns the currently logged-in user.
