The upgrade from 0.5 to 0.8 included upgrades to all of the packages. After 1.0 lands, upgrades to the individual projects will have to follow the basic release contract that breaking changes happen only in major point releases and are well-documented with testing and deprecation periods as appropriate. > 2) There are unit tests that may be performed > (new tests may be submitted when breakage > occurs?) to verify overall framework integrity. There are unit tests for much of TurboGears' own code, and the individual projects each have their own tests. I would certainly accept other tests, but TurboGears' tests right now are limited to the integration functionality.
