[Springpython-developer] Spring Python 0.5.0 released on sourceforge.net

[<gre...@mi...>]

Spring Python's 0.5.0 has been released on sourceforge.net. This includes updates to DatabaseTemplate and DatabaseTransactions. These changes existed only on the subversion trunk until now.

There is a lot more testing of DatabaseTemplate and transactions on MySQL, PostGreSQL, and Sqlite, verifying these databases are well supported. Initial support for Oracle has been added, but due to lack of resources, doesn't have as much testing as the others at this point in time.

Declarative transactions have been created, allowing you to wrap code in a pythonic fashion, and apply transactions. Also, propagation level has been introduced in these declarations, allowing you to markup when transactions should begin and end (or not exist should you need it). See https://springpython.webfactional.com/wiki/DatabaseTransactions for more details on how to use this.

The Spring Python library has been re-licensed under Apache License 2.0, and this is the official release under that license, making Spring Python a business friendly library. The samples applications are under the same licenses as before. See https://scifi.homelinux.net/mediawiki/index.php/Why_move_Spring_Python_back_to_Apache_License%3F for more details.
