Congratulations Mike! I must say that I am impressed (and always have been) by the amount of dedication you have put into SQLAlchemy over the years and everything you built around it, documentation, community, ... I can't think of any other open source project that has such a high degree of quality given the complexity of the library and the size of the team (I always saw it as a 1-man show).
Glad to see 1.0 is out! So, does this mean I can use SQLAlchemy in production now? ;P 2015-04-16 12:38 GMT-07:00 Mike Bayer <mike...@zzzcomputing.com>: > Hello list ! > > It is my great pleasure to announce that SQLAlchemy release 1.0.0 is now > available. > > Release 1.0.0 marks the tenth major SQLAlchemy series and occurs within > the tenth year of the SQLAlchemy project overall; development started in > 2005 and the release of 0.1.0 was in February of 2006. > > Calls for SQLAlchemy to go "1.0" started early on, as early as version 0.3 > (!).
