This boilerplate project is really awesome. I am thinking of using
it, but want to make sure my projects start from the updated version
of django and rest framework. To check out whether this was possible,
I removed all the version numbers from your requirement files and ran
the project. I had to change a few things

• namespaces in url files
• using path instead of url for some of the urlpatterns
• including CORS related middleware
• some settings

And, most importantly I had to change the const SERVER_URL in
src/static/utils/config.js from localhost to 127.0.0.1 otherwise
preflight would fail when trying to login. I am not sure why this
change would have to be made, but it would not work without it.

I would have put this all in a pull request, but I thought I would
open an issue since I am not sure why I had to change SERVER_URL.
Any thoughts? Are you interested in an update to more recent
versions?
