Status

What's the current status of Plain, and is it ready to use?

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 โ†’

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.

  • Remove any lingering references to "django"
  • Remove backwards migrations?

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.
