De ontwikkelaars van het framework Django hebben versie 1.3 uitgebracht na weer een aantal maanden ontwikkelen. Dit framework richt zich op webapplicaties in de Python-programmeertaal en volgt het principe van 'don't repeat yourself'. Voor meer informatie en een eerste blik op het framework verwijzen we naar deze pagina. De beknopte aankondiging voor Django 1.3 op het blog van de ontwikkelaars ziet er als volgt uit:
Django 1.3 released
It's here!
After many months of work, we're proud to announce the release today of Django 1.3. There's plenty of cool stuff in this release, and the release notes cover it all in detail. You can also swing by the downloads page to grab a copy of the release package. And as always, signed checksums for the release package are available.
One important point is worth mentioning here, however: Django 1.3 is, as covered in the release notes, the last official release of Django which will support Python 2.4. When Django 1.4 is released, the minimum Python version required will be 2.5, though you'll still be able to use Django 1.3 -- during its security support lifecycle -- if you need Python 2.4 support.
Finally, we'd like to point out, as always, that we couldn't do this without the help of the huge numbers of people all around the world who contribute to and improve Django every single day. All of you should give yourselves a big pat on the back.
