Django 1.0 beta 2 released!
In accordance with the (updated) Django 1.0 release roadmap, today we've released the second "beta" testing version of Django 1.0.
To grab a copy of 1.0 beta 2, head over to the Django downloads page, and be sure to read the release notes. Please keep in mind, though, that this release is not meant for production use, and is intended primarily for developers who are interested in checking out the new features in 1.0 and helping to identify and resolve bugs prior to the final release. The 1.0 alpha and beta releases will not receive long-term support and will not be updated with security fixes, since their main purpose is to serve as a stepping-stone on the path to the final Django 1.0, due to be released on September 2, 2008.
As of this release, Django is officially in a feature freeze for 1.0; from here on out, we'll only be working on bugs and stability before the final 1.0 release. If you'd like to help out, please review our documentation for contributors and feel free to join in one of the development sprints scheduled for the run up to 1.0.

You guys are burning through these alpha/beta releases. Keep up the great work.

Does Beta 2 == RC1?
The update roadmap (schedule) still seems to be at odds with the blog post.
Jacob Kaplan-Moss August 27, 2008 at 8:57 a.m.
Andrew: we've just changed the name to more clearly emphasize that we've still got around 85 open tickets against 1.0. Calling it an "rc" would be disingenuous, but we're still pretty much were we wanted to be at this point in time.

@Andrew
The roadmap does mention two beta releases, and one (maybe) RC.
Andrew August 27, 2008 at 9:30 a.m.
@Jacob Kaplan-Moss thanks for the update, will there be an RC1? It seems that everything has slipped on the schedule but the release date :).
@Patrick Yeah I saw that but, the release dates still have RC1 happening last week. I was just having trouble seeing what steps will happen before 1.0 final.
I don't mean to be nitpicking, just thought if I was confused there might be others out there who would benefit from the clarification :)
Jacob Kaplan-Moss August 27, 2008 at 10:05 a.m.
Yeah, we'll do an RC as soon as all the known code bugs are fixed, probably this weekend. We realized that if we're serious about it being a "release candidate" that we don't need to give a week between it and the final release; a couple-three days will let us know if there are any show-stoppers.

It's wonderful!

Is it just me, or is the VersionOneRoadmap wiki page "broken"? None of the formatting or links seem to be working right, and its a bit rough to read.
@Jacob thanks for the update on the planned schedule. The roadmap doesn't make a lot of sense with the B2 release past the RC1 date.

@ChrisMC the ReStructuredText processor for code.django's Trac instance is apparently broken. That's RST source - the Trac wiki directive is in the code to interpret it, but it's not taking effect.

Great work!
If you want to install this beta but don't want to overwrite anything you can use virtualenv (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv) like so ...
$ virtualenv django1.0
$ cd django1.0
$ . ./bini/activate
(django1.0)$ svn co $SVNLOCATION tmp
(django1.0)$ cd tmp
(django1.0)$ python setup.py install
(django1.0)$ cd ..
(django1.0)$ rm -rf tmp/
(django1.0)$ ./bin/django-admin.py startproject $PROJECTNAME
......
Cheers!

I hope the team is working hard to ensure that the documentation released with 1.0 will be complete, consistent, up-to-date, indexed and searchable!

In beta 1, every value in views request.POST.iteritems() is a list. Now in beta 2, some of them are single values, right?

Good job!
Keep it up!
