Status

Plain is currently pre-1.0. That just means that if you're starting a long-term project, be ready for a maintenance/update burden as APIs and features are still moving around and getting finalized.

Here is an overview of major changes that have been made since forking Django →

Checklist for 1.0.0

Although it's technically being used in production already, there are a few things that must happen before Plain is 1.0.

• Replace plain legacy CLI commands with new ones (mostly db-related).
• Log context feature.
• Require APP_ prefix for custom settings?
• Look at security headers implementation (DEFAULT_RESPONSE_HEADERS?).
• Rename django_migrations table
• Integrate relevant parts of python-dotenv directly?
• Rename plain.mail to plain.email?
• Remove any lingering references to "django"

Note that a lot of general code has be ripped out and changed in pretty quick fashion. Clean up across the board is in order -- there is lingering code that is no longer used, or has been changed substantially enough that a simpler re-implementation would be nice.

Packages
