Tumblog archive for September

David Cramer and Rob Hudson have published a great debugging toolbar that has plug-in 'panels' to give quick access to useful debug tools such as a SQL query list, profiler, cache stats, HTTP POST & GET variables, and more.

I've always included a "debug.html" in my page footer but it only shows me SQL queries and execution time. I think django-debug-toolbar will now quickly become part of the standard toolkit of many serious Django developers, myself included.

Thanks to David & Rob for sharing!

Django 1.0 has been officially released!

There's a huge list of changes from 0.96, which are covered in the Django 1.0 Release Notes. There's also a fantastic guide to porting your code from 0.96 to 1.0 which will be useful for those not keeping up with trunk.

The release announcement was made today by James Bennett in the Django-Users google group.

Congratulations to everybody who has been involved in the long road to 1.0. This gives us a fantastic base to work from for a stable and prosperous future.
