Web2py 2.6.1 is finally OUT. It needs some more testing.
READ BELOW BEFORE UPGRADING
!!!! Attention all users: For pre 2.6 applications to work with web2py
>=2.6, you must copy static/js/web2py.js, controllers/appadmin.py, and
views/appadmin.html from the welcome app to your own apps (all of them).
!!!! Attention production users: The updated handlers and examples are in
handlers/ and examples/. The updated ones will not override the existing
ones. To use the new ones it is not sufficient to upgrade web2py, you also
need to copy the desired handler/example in the root web2py/ folder.
!!!! Attention MySQL users: The length of string fields changed from 255 to
512 bytes. If you have migrations enabled this will trigger a large
migration. To prevent it, first set migrate_enabled=False, upgrade, check
everything is ok, then add length=255 to your string Fields, then re-enable
migrations with migrate_enabled=True if needed.
