Mark your calendars: Django 1.0 is coming in early September!

We're nearing the home stretch on releasing Django 1.0. We've just published a roadmap and schedule that brings us to a 1.0 release on September 2nd, 2008.

You can read all the details on the roadmap, but here are the highlights:

  • Django 1.0 will be released in early September.
  • To meet that deadline, Django 1.0 has a minimal set of must-have features. The big feature on that list is newforms-admin.
  • There's a larger set of "maybe" features: if these features are done by the 1.0 feature-freeze date (August 5), they'll be included in 1.0.

If you'd like to help us meet this deadline, please read the rest of the roadmap, and especially the "how you can help" section.

Only 77 days left until Django 1.0!

I've been eagerly waiting for the final release. Thanks for the update on this.

I'll have to set aside some time to migrate my current sites from 0.96

Going to pitch in where I can.

What does "Making Django 100% WSGI compliant." mean in terms of backward compatibility?

When will the Djangobook be updated for version 1.0?

Awesome news Jacob. Congrats to you and Adrian!

Very good to hear. Just out of curiosity, are there any plans to make Django 1.0 2to3 ready? It seems like interesting timing, with Python 3 also coming out early September. Not that such support is by any means critical.

Awesome! Can't wait...i'm a Python newbie (currently doing ASP.NET C# + Java work) and would love to get down and dirty with Django. I'd been holding back because there seemed to be stagnation - but wow! great news.

Saves running against SVN in production! Good news, thanks guys!

Hi,

Why not a official migration tool or schema evolution in 1.0?
Django developers never "worry" about 1.0 version. Why do you worry now?

Thanks,

Excelent job!!! This framework is the best!
