Yaaaaaaaaay! Cheers, Daniel
> On behalf of the TurboGears Team, I am pleased to announce that > TurboGears 1.1 final is available for download at > > http://turbogears.org/ > > and the Python package index > > http://pypi.python.org/pypi/TurboGears > > TurboGears 1.1 is the first stable release of the TurboGears 1.1 > branch, which is the evolution of the TurboGears 1 codebase. The 1.1 > branch now uses SQLAlchemy as the default database layer and Genshi as > the standard templating engine but is 100 percent compatible with > applications built on TurboGears 1.0. > > During its long beta period, versions of TurboGears 1.1 have been in > use in real, high-demand production environments for over a year now, > so we believe this release is rock-stable. > > > What is TurboGears? > ------------------- > > TurboGears is a rapid development, "front-to-back", open source web > meta-framework. Its aim is to simplify and speed up the development of > modern web applications written in the Python programming language. > > TurboGears is designed around the model-view-controller architecture, > much like Struts or Ruby on Rails, and takes the best Python web > components available (hence "meta-framework") and combines them into one > easy-to-install, documented whole. > > > What's new? > ----------- > > Apart from the change of defaults to SLQAlchemy and Genshi, TurboGears > 1.1 has a new testing framework built on WebTest, a new quickstart > design (backported from TurboGears 2) and many, many bigger and smaller > fixes and improvements over version 1.0 in its internals. > > We made a few more important changes after the 1.1rc release candidate, > in particular some fixes in the Genshi support and the templating > plugin support in general. > > For a comprehensive list of changes, as always, see the changelog in > our Trac at > > http://trac.turbogears.org/wiki/ChangeLog > > > How to install? > --------------- > > The easiest way to install TurboGears 1.1rc1 is via setuptools: > > [sudo] easy_install [-f http://turbogears.org/download/] TurboGears > > We recommend that you install TurboGears into its own virtual > environment using the virtualenv tool: > > [sudo] easy_install virtualenv > virtualenv --no-site-packages /path/to/tgenv > source /path/to/tgenv/bin/activate > easy_install [-f http://turbogears.org/download/] TurboGears > > > How is it related to TurboGears 2? > ---------------------------------- > > TurboGears 1.1 is based on the original TurboGears 1.0 codebase and > still uses CherryPy 2.3 as the underlying web application server. It > is 100 percent compatible with existing TurboGears 1.0 applications and > porting an application using SQLObject and Kid to use SQLAlchemy and > Genshi is easiliy achieved. > > TurboGears 2 has almost the same API as TurboGears 1.x but builds on > Pylons as the underlying web engine. Most new development for TurboGears > now happens in version 2, but the 1.1 branch will be continued to be > supported and maybe even developed further for the foreseeable future. > > > The Future > ---------- > > We plan to issue a maintenance release for the TurboGears 1.0 branch, > which would be version 1.0.9, within the next two weeks. > > Further development on the TurboGears 1.1 branch depends on community > feedback, which we plan to collect by conducting an online survey > amongst TurboGears users. You may expect a separate announcement for > this very soon! > > > Share & enjoy! > > -- > Christopher Arndt <[email protected]> > TurboGears Systems Administrator > http://www.turbogears.org/ > > > > > -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
