Django on Track For September Release, Alpha 1 Now Available
The popular Django Project, a Python web-development framework, appears to be on track for its scheduled 1.0 release in September 2008. The Django Blog recently announced the release of Django 1.0 alpha 1, which includes all of the major features due land in the final Django 1.0.
There are a few minor things that haven’t been included, but the Django team reports that those lower-priority items will be added before before the 1.0 feature freeze.
While today’s release is an alpha and not meant to be used in production sites, if you’ve been itching to get your hands on the newforms Admin code, alpha 1 makes a good candidate for testing.
To grab a copy, head over to the downloads page, but make sure you read through the release notes and if you find bugs, report them so they can get fixed before the final release.
The next stop on the Django roadmap is the first beta, which is due to arrive August 5. In the mean time, if you’d like to learn a bit of Django, be sure to check out our ongoing Django tutorial series. The latest installment walks you through how to build urls and views.
