MongoEngine 0.8.0 Released!

[Ross Lawley]

Hi all,

MongoEngine 0.8.0 has been released!

Thanks to all those that tested the release candidates!  For those waiting to jump please read the upgrade documentation...

Whats changed?

There have been loads of fixes, improvements and changes in 0.8. The headliners are:

• Minimum requirements are python 2.6+ and pymongo 2.5+
• Inheritance now off by default
• Inherited documents store _cls not _types (preventing auto creation of multikey indexes)
• Querysets are immutable and now return clones
• New Geo Fields supporting mongodb 2.4 new “2dSphere” indexes
• New context managers for switching collections or databases on the fly as well as turning off dereferencing
• Django support improved (now supports Django 1.5.1, groups and permissions)
• Performance improvements, back to the same performance as 0.4

And much, much more!

See the full changelog for all changes or check github to see the 96 tickets that have been fixed as part of this release.
