Django, my web development framework of choice, has reached Alpha 1.0. There's a bunch of Backwards Incompatible Changes to the API which will require changes to your projects, but the codebase should be pretty stable from here to 1.0.

The biggest changes to this from the last official release are 'Unicode everywhere', a new and more powerful admin module powered by newforms, an updated database ORM that's more efficient, and automatic escaping in templates to help reduce the risk of cross-site scripting attacks.

1.0 should be released with a party at DjangoConf 2008 on September 2nd - I look forward to it (Although I won't be at DjangoConf, unfortunately).

Great work to everybody involved!
