It’s not too bad, I hope, but yeah there’s some pretty big changes — changes to templates to support autoescaping are a real pain in the ass, for one.
At least it’s not as bad as the 0.91 -> 0.95 change; Matt reminded me of this gen from the release notes:
The number of changes required to port from
0.91-compatible code to the 0.95 code base are
significant in some cases. However, they are, for the
most part, reasonably routine and only need to be done once.
Oh yeah — nowhere near as bad as .91 -> .95. I was just being facetious. While there are a lot of changes and I don’t envy the position anyone who hasn’t been tracking trunk all the way is in, Django 1.0 is sooooo much better than .96 that it’s all been absolutely worth it. :)
I’m one of the poor schlubs who wasn’t tracking trunk, at least on one site. So yeah, I got the big PITA of getting everything up to speed, and a lot of it took a long time to see any advantage. Newforms-admin thoroughly kicked my ass, and I still haven’t completely come to terms with the unicode merge.
But then things start falling in place and it all starts
making sense. A lot of sense.

Great stuff.
