Django, the web framework Review Board is built -upon, is approaching their 1.0 release and have released Django 1.0 alpha for download. In -order to keep up with Django development, Review Board has required the Django Subversion development tree to run, requiring that users develop a -basic understanding of Subversion and keeping their copy up-to-date.

With the new Django alpha release, we’re now able to remove this extra burden. As of tonight, Review Board now requires Django 1.0 alpha -or higher. Simply download the new release and install it. Of course, if you’re currently using a Subversion checkout of Django, you can -continue to use it.

The Django 1.0 release will bring us a step closer to our own 1.0. There’s a few major features still planned, and lots of bug fixing. -We’ll have a roadmap up in the coming weeks detailing our plans. Stay tuned!

Introducing Review Board News

chipx86 — Fri, 30 May 2008 23:50:12 +0000

In the past, we’ve always brought information on new Review Board development to our blogs and the mailing list. However, as the software continues to -mature, we need a better way of informing people about major releases and important updates, without making them sift through development -discussions and technical updates.

In the future, we’ll be posting critical updates (such as required database migrations) here, as well as software releases (once we hit -1.0). News posts will soon begin to appear in your Review Board administration dashboard, making it easy to keep up. And, of course, you can -subscribe to our RSS feed in your favorite news reader.
