[TehPUG] Django 1.7 released

[soroosh sarabadani]

It's here!

After nearly a year of development, today we're proud to announce the
release of Django 1.7.

As always, the release notes
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/releases/1.7> cover everything
in-depth, but some of the major highlights of Django 1.7 are:

   - A new built-in database migration system
   <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/migrations/>. Notes
on upgrading
   from South
   <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/migrations/#upgrading-from-south>
   (a popular third-party application providing migration functionality) are
   also available.
   - A refactored concept of Django applications
   <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/applications/>. Django
   applications are no longer tied to the existence of a models files, and can
   now specify both configuration data and code to be executed as Django
   starts up.
   - Improvements to the model Field API to support migrations and, in the
   future, to enable easy addition of composite-key support to Django's ORM.
   - Improvements for custom Manager and QuerySet classes, allowing reverse
   relationship traversal to specify the Manager to use, and creation of a
   Manager from a custom QuerySet class.
   - A extensible system check framework
   <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/checks/> which can assist
   developers in detecting and diagnosing errors.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg; Django 1.7 is jam-packed with
useful new features and functionality, and they're all covered in the 1.7
release notes <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/releases/1.7/>.

You can get Django 1.7 right now from our downloads page
<https://www.djangoproject.com/download/> (along with checksums
<https://www.djangoproject.com/m/pgp/Django-1.7.checksum.txt>), or from the
Python Package Index <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Django/1.7>.
