ANN: Please welcome Django's new release manager!
Jacob Kaplan-Moss
Please join me in welcoming James Bennett as Django's release manager!
James is going to be taking over the job of pushing out official releases.
This makes a lot of sense as he's been maintaining the -bugfixes branches already.
Along with that, we'll be putting out two release over the next week-ish:
* A 0.95.1 release, which is just 0.95 + a few vital security/bug fixes (the
LazyUser one comes to mind). This is mostly for the convience of people
packaging Django; most people should update to 0.96 instead.
* A 0.96 release, taken from trunk. This is part of the push to 1.0; shortly
after 0.96 we're going to be applying some backwards-incompatible changes to
trunk (more on that later).
James is going to get 0.95.1 out as soon as he can, and we'll aim for .96
early next week. I'll be reviewing all the "ready for checkin" tickets this
weekend and will apply any that fix bugs that *must* be fixed before 0.96.
Thanks again, James!

That's already been patched, and I'm rolling 0.95.1 right now :)
