South 0.3

The world of migrations in Django is definitely warming up now, and with that we're proud to announce the release of South 0.3, the 'intelligent django migrations app', available now from south.aeracode.org.

New in this release are the use of fields rather than dicts for specifying columns in migrations, so migrations now look cleaner, work with all the databases Django supports to a better extent, and even support custom fields.

Also new is dependencies between apps, for those situations where your forum app's Post depends on your accounts app's Profile; South will work out the right way to apply everything so foreign keys don't horribly break.

South Changes

With the launch of its own site - south.aeracode.org - and Andy McCurdy jumping in to help out, South has been making some good progress. We've made a few backwards incompatable changes, which while annoying will hopefully make things much easier in future.

South, version 0.2

After the initial release some time last week, and a generally positive reaction, South now has a 0.2 release.

The most important (and only major) change is the addition of MySQL support, so the other section of Django users can finally give it a try. There's also the ability to create all models' migrations at once.
