Seriously, though - this is an open source project, and nobody (to my knowledge) is paid to work on Django full time. As such, accurate scheduling is a real problem. We aren't going to put v1.0 out until we are happy that we have the API's right, because once 1.0 is in the field, we will guarantee support for that API into the future. There are a couple of areas that still require major changes - most notably inheritance and manipulators. Work on both of these has started, but it is difficult to judge when they will be complete, because their completion depends on the available time of those working on the changes (and the core developers have all been fairly busy of late). As for time frame - I wouldn't even want to hazard a guess. Once upon a time, we said (northern) Summer 2006 for v1.0. We would probably be well served to look at the development roadmap again. As for convincing your IT manager - Django 0.95 is stable (performance stable, not API stable) - and I haven't had any problems using SVN trunk on production sites. Both versions are being used successfully on large scale projects. The last big API change - the magic-removal branch - was pretty big, but the migration (in my experience) was well described and relatively low effort and painless. Don't let the "its not v1.0" factor scare you off.
