.. _0-8-release-notes: ========= South 0.8 ========= This is a new major release of South, and probably the last major release before work begins on South 2 as part of the ongoing work with schema alterations in Django. Don't worry - an upgrade path will be provided. We recommend that you pin your South requirement in your requirements file to `south < 2.0`, however, so you will not be auto-upgraded when the time comes. Major changes are outlined below. A full list of changes can be found on `the repository `_. Backwards incompatible changes ============================== None Python 2.x support ================== South is now only compatable with Python 2.6 and higher. If you are still on 2.5 on below, you will have to use the 0.7.x releases of South - do not expect those to be maintained any further, however. Python 3 ======== South now has alpha support for Python 3, thanks to the `six` library and the work of Aymeric Augustin. This is intended to complement the support in Django 1.5 and up; please report any issues you come across when using it. index_together ============== South now supports the index_together option for models found in Django 1.5 and up.
