Django 1.3 beta 1 released
As part of the Django 1.3 release process, tonight we've released Django 1.3 beta 1, a preview/testing package that gives a little taste of some of the new features coming in Django 1.3. As with all alpha and beta packages, this is not for production use, but if you'd like to try out some of the new goodies coming in 1.3, or if you'd like to pitch in and help us fix bugs before the final 1.3 release (due in January), feel free to grab a copy and give it a spin.
Also, note that this beta release contains the patches mentioned in the security announcement earlier today. If you're using Django 1.3 alpha 1, you're urged to upgrade to beta 1 or apply the trunk patches immediately.
You can get a copy of the 1.3 beta package from our downloads page, and we recommend you read the release notes. Also, for the security conscious, signed MD5 and SHA1 checksums of the 1.3 beta package are available.
