Everyone,
After 10 1/2 long months, Haystack is now 1.0.0-final. There were
a couple small fixes between the rc1 last week and the final tonight,
all documentation changes. It is available as always through git via
Github, but has also been uploaded to PyPi as well as a `.tar.gz`
available from
http://github.com/toastdriven/django-haystack/downloads.
I appreciate everyone's testing and submitting issues, as well as
calling me out in places where the documentation is still lacking.
It's my intent to keep improving things but I'm pretty happy given all
the progress that's been made to date.
1.0-final is significant because I'm going to make my best effort
to stay backward-compatible within the 1.X series. I can't promise
this 100%, but should anything backward-incompatible come up, I will
do my best to document it, including full disclosure on the mailing
list.
In short order, I'm going to start working on 1.1. I've got a
rough collection of features (and a couple bugs) I'd like to hammer
out (ten of them currently -
http://github.com/toastdriven/django-haystack/issues/labels/1.1-final).
The biggest among them are multiple indexes (along the lines of
Django's upcoming multidb support) and search available via the admin.
I'd like to start doing more regular releases, perhaps time-based or
feature-based. As usual, I'll try to deal with any bugs that come up
as fast as I can. I'll also be responding to the backlog of mailing
list posts tomorrow, just not enough time to send proper responses
tonight and nothing there is a bona-fide blocker.
Daniel
