Hi Bo, 0.9b to 0.9.0 shouldn't have changed a _lot_, not enough to need a dedicated migration guide, at least. There *are* changelogs for each pre-release version in the docs, so you'll want to review them starting with the beta = rc1 list: http://docs.fabfile.org/0.9.0/changes/0.9.html#changes-from-beta-1-to-release-candidate-1 As you can see, it's not a ton of changes :) Feel free to ask specific questions if you still have them afterwards, though!

Re: [Fab-user] Fabric 0.9 final(ly out!)
Hi all, I just attempted to run a 0.9b fabfile and ran into some problems (I'll write them up shortly). I was wondering if there was a 0.9b to 0.9.0 migration guide anywhere? Thanks for the great tool! On Wednesday, November 18, 2009, Niklas Lindström lindstr...@gmail.com wrote: Forgot to cheer and congratulate to the release. Great news and thanks for all your work!

Please let me know if you encounter any distribution or installation issues. Some related things of note: * A Fabric RC2 went up on PyPI a few minutes prior to final, which was just me testing some new release/build tasks. It can be safely ignored. I didn't even bother uploading it to the Redmine files section. * Which brings me to my next point: the canonical download location for Fabric is now http://code.fabfile.org/projects/fabric/files/ . Obviously I'll keep using PyPI untill/unless something better takes its place -- but for anyone wanting a stable location for package management, that's the place. See also [1]. * PyPI apparently doesn't follow setuptools' rules for version ordering, and wanted to display 0.9rc1/rc2 as coming *after* 0.9.0 final. For now I've removed the RCs, and am actively investigating my options here. Then again, I don't expect to put prerelease versions on PyPI in the future (RC1 was just a distribution test) so perhaps it's a wash. * I've tweaked docs.fabfile.org's Apache settings; releases are now listed in full, i.e. 0.9.0 or 0.9rc1 or etc. /0.9/ now redirects to the most recent release, right now /0.9.0/. I still have to tweak this aspect of things a bit, so bear with me. (Do let me know of any outright breakage, though!) I think that's it for now, everything else ought to mirror the RC1 release process pretty closely. I will be reaching out to the Python announce list, some local-to-me Python/Django user groups, and some folks who've previously blogged about Fabric. If you know anyone who would be interested in getting or talking about the new version, please let them know. Note: I expect development to go much faster now that I've gotten over most of the large humps involved with a rewrite and reworking of a project like this. Writing entirely new docs and test toolchains and release strategies takes a lot of time, but now I can do normal, incremental tweaks and push them out when ready. I'm looking forward to 2010 being a great year for Fabric!

I have been pushing fabric at my work and I think I'm almost accepted which will help me contribute a lot of handy context_managers and contrib stuff.

I find the 0.9 codebase much better and great to hack on.
