Just in time for PyCon we’re releasing [Windmill 1.0](http://www.getwindmill.com/archives/412). It’s been almost 3 years of development and I’m both excited and relieved to have something we’re comfortable calling 1.0.
The latest RCs have seen bigger improvements than we thought would make it. A new wave of contributions has given us some great new features in Django support and test serialization and [Adam](http://www.adamchristian.com) has done some great UI work as well.
Big thanks to everyone who contributed to the release and I hope to see many of you at PyCon. Adam is doing a [talk on windmill](http://us.pycon.org/2009/conference/schedule/event/9/) which I’ll be helping out with and Adam and I will also be on a [functional testing tools panel](http://us.pycon.org/2009/conference/schedule/event/88/) which should be a lot of fun. And if you’re staying around for the sprint days of the conference we’ll be leading a [windmill sprint](http://us.pycon.org/2009/sprints/projects/windmill/).
Thanks for building this! We are using it a lot.
Awesome work guys! Having experienced the project at its infancy seeing a 1.0 feels like it has come a long way. I am looking forward to using it some day soon. Good luck with the presentation at PyCon. Go get them!
Welcome to the new meme: every time you blog about a project, your second sentence MUST be an explanation of what the project is! You are the marketing department.
P.S. “rates” above is a spammer.
elliot; glad you’re liking it, pop in to #windmill on irc.freenode.net if you ever need anything.
Aparna; thanks! good to see you!
skierpage; I’m a bad marketing department
I think I was just thinking about this as a personal post about the release that linked to the release announcment, but the release announcement also doesn’t have a project description so I think we just failed this time around but I’ll make sure we do better next time. And thanks for pointing out the spam, akismet usually does a great job keeping it all back.
I first heard about windmill at the PyCon talk, and I think this is exactly what I’m looking for. Probably a mixture of windmill and twill.
Thanks for putting so much time and effort into such a cool project!
