To add to what others have said, use the development version,  
definitely, except I would strongly recommend that you use the  
newforms-admin branch. This is the future, but it will be some time  
before it is merged to the trunk. This branch usually does not lag  
behind the trunk for more than a couple weeks. It is the "right" way  
to do the admin backend, because it separates the admin configuration  
from the database model.

The challenge for a new Django user, however, will be that any online  
documentation for the admin does not apply at all to newforms-admin.  
I'm fairly new at Django myself, however, and was able to pick of the  
differences very quickly.

yes - unless you want to miss out on a lot of goodies and are  
masochist enough to enjoy upgrading your project through a bunch of  
backward incompatible changes later when you are in production.

The development version of django is basically the latest stable, 0.96, 
plus lots and lots and lots of bugfixes, feature additions, etc. With 
that come some backwards incompatible API changes. You don't need to be 
a core developer to use the development version. There are plenty of 
enhancements that make it worth while. :)

Is it recommended to use the development version for a project that
starts now (or in a week ;-))
  

By my personal recommendation, absolutely!

The development version is much closer to 1.0 than 0.96. It would be 
easier to develop your new code against trunk: it will be that much 
easier to make the transition to 1.0.


Have fun!

Django keeps the subversion trunk stable, and changes the
documentation to reflect the trunk.  So I would use the subversion
trunk.

What Django version should I use?

2008-05-05 Thread Daniel Strasser

Hi there

I'm new to both Django and Python, but I'm so fascinated about Django
that I don't want to use PHP for a new project that is coming up soon.

Now I'm playing around with the latest "stable" release of Django
(0.96), but both the tutorials and the documentation expects that you
are using the development version (I know the older docs/tuts are
online, too). This is a bit confusing for me, because for me,
development versions are - yeah - for developers. And I'm not
(yet?) :-) a Django core developer.

Is it recommended to use the development version for a project that
starts now (or in a week ;-))

Thanks
Daniel
