Django 1.3 released

It's been fun watching these features play out in libraries over the last year.<p>I particularly like the idea of TemplateResponse - the earliest implementation I saw was in simonw's:<p><a href="https://github.com/simonw/django-openid/blob/master/django_openid/response.py#L4" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/simonw/django-openid/blob/master/django_o...</a><p>This approach makes template rendering much more flexible!<p>For example, it would be easy to swap out a template for a mobile one ... or to A/B test a template. Or choose the content type of the output (HTML, JSON etc.)

I wonder if they were tempted to give it the codename "WordPress"

So as someone who has just started my first Django project, is there any reason not to immediately switch to 1.3?

So, where's the "Congrats on Shipping" cake from the Ruby on Rails devs?<p>edit: Or maybe one from CakePHP would be more appropriate.

Congratulations to all the team,

I can't believe it... not one comment telling the django guys to quit celebrating and get back to work on a version that supports Python 3? :-)<p>Seriously, Adrian, Jacob, and the django team, I love your product. I actually just bought a SECOND copy of your book (available free on the web). What's wrong with this picture?

Glad to see it!<p>Some of the new stuff is really cool, and means I won't have to rely on external libraries anymore (like passing context variables in template includes).<p>Also, the new logging functionality is really great!<p>Keep up the good work!

Congrats to the Django team! I know you guys have worked very hard to put this together. I've been waiting for this final release for quite some time, having tried the beta release since launched.

Class-based generic view is a nice addition. I remember when I was learning Django and going through the official tutorial, that was one part that took me a while to understand. Kudos guys!

They backported the Python 2.7 unittest module to Python 2.4 and included it in Django? It is getting enterprisey. Maybe with Django 2.0 they will ship their own Python version?

Congrats to the Django team! :) I'm in love with your API.

Huge congrats to the Django Core team, and anyone who helped contribute to the project. It just gets more fun to use each year that passes!

Congrats. Excellent work all around. Very interested in checking it out.

Just in time for my next project, thanks!!!
