Since the very Django announcement it's constantly changing. Sometimes it breaks certain backwards compatibility. But despite this many people do their project with it. This is possible because these changes are very good documented: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/BackwardsIncompatibleChanges However there never was such a big change as upcoming 'magic-removal' which is going to happen in a couple of weeks (they say). It will introduce massive amount of API changes. That said I started my second Django project 10 days ago with current code and I'm fully aware that at some point I'll need to spend some time doing this 'magic-removal' when it become Django ver 0.92. But I'm not afraid. Most of these changes are not architectural at the user level and will require pretty straightforward refactorings: moving things in more appropriate places and renaming function calls in a modern fashion. So I advise not to wait for next big version (0.92) and certainly not for 1.0. Spend this time prototyping your app and getting accustomed with Django. _This_ won't change. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
