TurboGears 2.0 beta 6 (the final beta!)

[Mark Ramm]

I am very happy to announce this release. It's the result of a *lot*
of hard work by a *lot* of people, who deserve all the credit.

TurboGears 2.0 beta 6 comes with lots of fixes, and a total feature
freeze in preparation for the first Release Candidate. From here on
out to 2.0, we'll only be doing bugfixes and improving our Docs.
Speaking of Docs, Beta 6 comes on the heals of this last weekend's doc
sprint, so it already comes with new and improved documentation.

One thing which you should be aware of in Beta 6 is that after you
install tg.devtools and quickstart a new application you have to do
python setup.py develop on your quickstarted app because some of the
dependencies for the app are not installed until that time. This
allows you to remove optional dependencies from your application if
you're not using them.

Jorge Vargas has completely rewritten the Install doc:

http://www.turbogears.org/2.0/docs/main/DownloadInstall.html

Anita has done great work on the Wiki 20 doc, which is providing an
every improved introduction to TG2:

http://www.turbogears.org/2.0/docs/main/Wiki20/wiki20.html

Christoph Zwerschke has update the ToscaWidgets? forms doc:

http://www.turbogears.org/2.0/docs/main/ToscaWidgets/forms.html

Chris Perkins has documented the new RestController? stuff which
simplifies common Create, Read, Update, Delete operations:

http://www.turbogears.org/2.0/docs/main/RestControllers.html

Mark Ramm has created an overview of the TurboGears 2 stack:

http://www.turbogears.org/2.0/docs/main/RequestFlow.html

There are also new docs on the alternative template engines:

http://www.turbogears.org/2.0/docs/main/Templates/Alternative.html

And many, many smaller updates spread across the TG2 docs. There are
too many people who contributed to this release to thank them all
specifically, but Jorge Vargas has been working tirelessly on little
bugs, on triaging tickets and has played an indespensible role in the
process. Thanks Jorge!

Looks like the current install sometimes breaks not finding repoze.who

But a second invocation of:

easy_install -i http://turbogears.org/2.0/downloads/current/index/ tgdevtools

resolves the problem. We'll figure out what's causing this and fix
it, but until then there's an easy enough workaround.

Feel free to check that egg into svn under the index for tg2 (it's in
site_packages), and I'll make sure that it's in the rc1 index.
