The long wait is finally over! I am happy to announce the release of TurboGears 2.0 final<http://turbogears.org/2.0> . This release is the product of a lot of work by the whole TurboGears team, and we're very happy to have a final stable release. TurboGears 2.0 final includes all kinds of goodies for those making web applications, from one of the most powerful and flexible Object Relational Mappers available in any language, to a powerful and flexible template system.
But just as important as the quality of the parts, is the out-of-the-box integration to help get you started quickly: - We have quickstart template that helps get you going quickly with everything you need: from sample templates, to sample controllers and tests. - We have an extensible user/groups/permission system that you can easily configure into your app when quickstarting a project. - We have zero config needed support for development database backed by SQLite - We have a working admin system for editing your database while your app is in development - Our admin system is extensible and reusable as a component of your application There's lots more. But we also don't think that out of the box defaults should become constraints on our users. TurboGears 2 is designe to get you started quickly and get out of your way when you know what you want. So, a trivial configuration change lets you use DB2, or Oracle, or SQLServer, and everything we've wired up for you is easy enough to customize or replace. For example, we support configs for three major python template engines out of the box, and you can easily make your own render function to handle anything else you want. One of the goals of TurboGears 2 <http://turbogears.org/2.0> is to use standard python components, that are valuable in all kinds of other contexts, so you are not tied into one monolythic system. Learning SQLAlchemy can help you write command line tools, GUI apps, web-services that don't use a framework; Genshi is valuable when generating all kinds of xml data for interchange between systems; the beaker is a great caching system that's valuable in all kind of web contexts, etc. TurboGears 2 <http://turbogears.org/2.0> final is just now comming out, but it's already in production use at places like ShootQ, RedHat (for a large set of Fedora infrastructure projects) and many other places. And we're already looking forward to a few more high profile TG2 deployments in the next few weeks. -- Mark Ramm-Christensen email: mark at compoundthinking dot com blog: www.compoundthinking.com/blog --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
