TurboGears 1.0.4.4 Released =========================== The TurboGears team and release manager Florent Aide are pleased to announce the release of TurboGears 1.0.4.4.
This release marks the last active version of the stable 1.0 branch. All new developments will now occur in the 1.1 branch. The 1.0 branch will only receive critical bug-fixes and security updates from now on. The TurboGears 1 Team will concentrate on preparing a beta release of the 1.1 branch. The future version 1.1 will provide different defaults for the template engine (Genshi) and the ORM (SQLAlchemy) and should ease transition to the upcoming TurboGears 2.0 version (which builds on Pylons) for 1.0 users.
