Hi list,

I've just uploaded a release candidate of the next version of Kay.

Kay is another web framework distributed under new BSD, and written
specifically for appengine.

Its hosted at:
http://code.google.com/p/kay-framework/

The current stable version of Kay has following features out of the box:

- Anonymous session
- Authentication
  - Google Authentication
  - Authentication against credentials stored in the datastore
- Cache mechanism
- Jinja2 templates system bundled
- WSGI debug middleware bundled (werkzeug)
- i18n capability
- Powerful shell tools (iPython powered if installed)
  - including dump/restore capability with a single command
- flash message (instant messaging across different request)
- allows apps to load modules lazily

In spite of these variety of features, kay still keeps reasonably fast
by the lazy loading feature mentioned before.

Additionally, the next version, kay-0.10.0 should have following features:

- Model driven CRUD+list auto generation

- A new authentication backend for OpenID, OAuth, Facebook connect
 - You can also write apps for Google Apps MarketPlace easily

- A brand new URL mapping syntax that is more intuitable than before
