Hey list -

SQLAlchemy release 0.9.0 is now available.

After about a year's worth of development, 0.9.0 is the first official release 
of the 0.9 series of SQLAlchemy. As always, 0.9 includes many major 
architectural improvements and new features.

To get an overview of SQLAlchemy 0.9's new features, see the What's New in 0.9 
document at http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/changelog/migration_09.html. 
This document should also serve as a guide for those behavioral changes which 
may require adjustments to existing applications.

Highlights of SQLAlchemy 0.9.0 include in-place Python 3 support, major 
improvements to the eager loading system including a more expressive API and 
critical performance improvements to the rendering of more complex joins, 
support for Postgresql JSON types, SQL expression improvements such as textual 
"selectable" objects, "INSERT from SELECT" support, improved APIs for 
"SELECT..FOR UPDATE", schema and DDL improvements, and many other refinements. 
Architecturally, the move to Python 3 in place has allowed lots of 
consolidation to take place, and there has also been a major reorganization of 
module layout both within Core and ORM.

Existing production deployments which have not yet been tested in SQLAlchemy 
0.9.0 should ensure that they specify a version less than 0.9.0 in their 
requirements files, as version 0.9.0 now becomes the default version of 
SQLAlchemy downloaded from Pypi when no version specifics are given.

Full changelog for the SQLAlchemy 0.9 series is at 
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/changelog/changelog_09.html; this 
document will also link out in many cases to the migration document mentioned 
above.

Download SQLAlchemy 0.9.0 at: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/download.html and on 
Pypi at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SQLAlchemy/0.9.0.

Happy new year!
