We are proud to announce TurboGears 1.9.7 beta 2.  At this point we are
potentially looking at one more beta next week, and then a release candidate
right after that.   There are several tickets and a couple of features that
I would like to get into this stable version if at all possible, so we will
be working on those this week.

Beta 2 represents a lot of work, though it's API has not changed much.
We've created an entirely reusable framework independent
authorization/permissions library caled repoze.what.   When I say we, I
really mean Gustavo Narea, who has done a fantastic job.   Repoze.what is
very API similar to tg1 identity, but it is much more flexible and much
better documented, and I predict a very bright future for it in TurboGears,
and in any WSGI application that requires a flexible permissions system.

In addition to a new version of TurboGears, the beta 2 represents testing
with new versions of:

* SQLAlchemy,
* Migrate,
* Beaker,
* Babel,
* Paste,
* PasteScript,
* WebTest,
* Nose
* FormEncode

Each of these libraries has been tested with python 2.6, and beta 2 should
work great on python 2.4 and above (but not yet on 3.0).   Most of these
updates are API compatable, but there are a couple of small API changed in
SQLAlchemy.   DBSession.add() is set to replace DBSession.save() in
SQLAlchemy 0.6, for now SA just throws a deprication warning, and TG2 docs
still use .save, but we'll be updating the docs and the template for beta3
next week.
