And the blog post where you can congratulate the team: <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2008/sep/03/1/" rel="nofollow">http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2008/sep/03/1/</a>
Congrats to the Django team for making the big 1.0!<p>Loads of new (but mostly currently in-place) features make everyone happy! No more newbie confusion on whether to download from the SVN trunk means I can finally sleep peacefully. :D
Great new functionality. It took me very little work to migrate an old project to the new version - and the majority of that was removing my use of deprecated features (and using their replacements).<p>Thanks to everyone that contributed.
That's it? That's the difference between Rails and Django - if it were Rails reaching 1.0, there would be a huge party and screencasts everywhere and a demo showing how to write windows 95 in 10 minutes.<p>Django just released and that's all.<p>On the one hand I'm happy because over hyped products tend to be constantly flooded by new users. On the other hand, if a project is too quiet, it tends to lose users to more sexy technologies, and sooner or later, nobody is using it.<p>I don't want it to turn out that I put my bets on the betamax of the the frameworks.
