Introducing Django 0.90
Since we made Django open source, we've had an amazingly productive couple of months. But the code has always been in development status -- available only via revision control.
Now, our first release is ready.
Django 0.90, available as a tarball or as a Python egg, is the current Django code, packaged up for distribution.
See the install guide.
We're especially excited that getting Django no longer requires installing Subversion. :-)
Note that there's still no guarantee of backwards-compatibility between Django releases at this point. Our goal is to knock off the major items on this list, then launch version 1.0 with a backwards-compatibility guarantee.
With that said, I should point out that migration information for each backwards-incompatible change will be documented in excruciating detail, as we've already been doing.
Feel free to ask questions on the django-users mailing list.
Enjoy!

This is great! Now let's take a hack at the 1.0 features list and get 1.0 out of the door fast!

Pash: I'm the guy who wrote the original Oracle patch. I'm not a core Django dev, but am a big fan of Django and I use Django on Oracle everyday. (I'm probably the only one doing that at this point!) I think the thing that the Oracle backend is missing (preventing it from being commited) is unit tests and a more recent smoke test against 0.9 or the latest in the trunk. (http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/87)
I also posted the issues I faced writing it here:
http://groups.google.com/group/django...
In true open source fashion, the source is all there, if you beat me to the punch and can provide the unit tests for me, please do. :-) Add your updated patches to the posted ticket.
Cheers!

Now there is a tarball, I have been able to do a package for mandriva, it can be found in the developpement version ( cooker ), and so, django will be included for the next releases in the contrib version.
Thanks for this great framework.
