Django 1.0!
Finally, Django 1.0 is released!
After countless hours of hard work by many talented people, it is a pleasure to see the long-awaited version 1.0 released to the world. Finally, a version number that reflects the quality of the codebase, which in fact I have been using in production for many months.
New features that I am excited about include:
Re-factored admin application
Developed under the newforms-admin branch for a long while, the re-factored admin application is much more customisable and means I don't have to do so many ugly hacks and workarounds any more. See the admin reference for details.
Re-factored ORM
The internals of the ORM were pretty much rewritten from scratch in the queryset-refactor branch, resulting in many annoying bugs being fixed. This also includes support for model inheritance, which allows for more elegant models. See the wiki for more details.
Have fun!
