If it's going to press in June as Apress currently claims, then I'm
guessing "Pro Django" won't cover Django 1.0.  Jacob?  It is nice to
see that it mentions Oracle, so I hope that means our branch will be
merged before the book comes out...

(I just bought the excellent "Programming Erlang" book from Pragmatic
Programmers, and I wish there were a similar "get the PDF now, the
dead tree version later" option for the Django Book.)  We'll buy
several copies when it is released.

I was kind of wondering the same... is the Django Book going to align
with Django 1.0?

I am hungry for the book.
But if the book is going for reviews, is there no more major changes
from svn-trunk to 1.0?
It is only such a case if a book could really come out.

Great - thanks for your replies, Jacob and Vince.

Looking forward to having that book sitting beside me :-)

Hey Andrew --

The reason you haven't seen updates to the book is that we're in the
process of doing the final reviews for print. It's entirely
uninteresting work so we're not doing it publically.

Expect to see the first of the final chapters online in the next
couple of weeks; we'll be posting them as we send 'em off to Apress.

Jacob

I don't know for sure, but since some features will change rather
dramatically before 1.0 is released (admin-newforms for instance), I
imagine they decided to put the chapters that would be affected on
hold until feature freeze.
