Make no mistakes. This is not a minor revision. This is in preparation
for 2.0.
We could not call it 1.100 because it would break the old automatic
upgrade mechanism (1 comes before 9, yikes).
There are a huge number of bugs fixes and many improvements.
The most important change is that the new welcome is very mobile
friendly, it uses the skeleton flexible grid and detects mobile to
render the menu as a dropdown and optionally compress all your css/js.
The SQLFORM.grid is also very much improved.
Markin now can do things like
{{=MARKMIN('qr:http://web2py.com')}}
{{=MARKMIN('embed:http://www.youtube.com/embed/x1w8hKTJ2Co')
and it automatically embeds audio and video players if you just
include a link in the text. If you have not used markmin, you should.
There is an experimental MongoDB support.
The new web site layout needs work but we put it out there hoping for
more feedback.
We ditched Launchpad and moved to GitHub and Googlecode (mirrored).
Issue tracking is still on Googlecode but we plan to move to Github.
The book is also coming out very soon. The book will described 1.99.3
Thanks to all those who contributes in particular Anthony, Jonathan,
Mariano, Ross, Angelo, Niphold, Bruno, Dave, Mark. Too may people have
contributed small patches and they are too many to mention. I
apologize.
Please test it and report bugs.
As soon as we have a mobile support in admin we will rename this 2.0.
