Can we please have a new release of Django Rest Framework? #13

I was struggling to understand an issue with DRF where the behaviour with LoginRequiredMiddleware was inconsistent with the docs:

If you're running Django 5.1+ and use the LoginRequiredMiddleware, please note that all views from DRF are opted-out of this middleware. This is because the authentication in DRF is based authentication and permissions classes, which may be determined after the middleware has been applied. Additionally, when the request is not authenticated, the middleware redirects the user to the login page, which is not suitable for API requests, where it's preferable to return a 401 status code.

This documented behaviour did not align with my testing with the latest DRF version (v3.15.2). I delved into the code and could see that the commit associated with this fix was added to the master branch on September 7th 2024 which is after the latest release was tagged on June 14th 2024.

Could we please get a new version released with the latest changes, given that it has been 9 months since the last?

Thanks
