Django 1.8 released

Some great things in this release:<p>- official Jinja2 support, and a generic template interface<p>- native postgres fields<p>- uuid field<p>and it is an LTS. Time to get upgrading.

I&#x27;m especially excited about contrib.postgres[1].<p>HStoreField is going to be a significant improvement over the JSONFields we have been using...<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.djangoproject.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;1.8&#x2F;ref&#x2F;contrib&#x2F;postgres&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.djangoproject.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;1.8&#x2F;ref&#x2F;contrib&#x2F;postgres&#x2F;</a>

Really like that they added a way to store time intervals as python timedelta objects. Previously i think the best approach was to store a number of seconds as an integer and then calculate the number of minutes, hours etc.. yourself.

Great work, Django team!<p>I recently switched a project back to Django after some time playing with Rails.<p>One of the biggest attractions of Rails is the asset pipeline, but splitting the project and building the front-end with Ember-CLI takes away that advantage, leaving Django far ahead (IMO) with its cleaner ORM, less magical module importing, and Python&#x27;s indented syntax.

I really wish there was something as mature as Django in Go (A little bit lightweight maybe)

Thanks to the Django team for a incredibly well-run and well-documented OS project!

Damn Django is pretty hard at sunsetting old versions. If they are going to release a new one in October and only supply security upgrades to things that are two versions behind, does that means you have to upgrade your system in less than a year?

What is Django? What does it do?

Can’t wait to update <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sublevel.net" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sublevel.net</a> to this version!
