Mezzanine lead developer here.
We'd been tracking Django 1.5 changes during the release candidates and were mostly compatibile with it up until its release. When it was released, a few issues cropped up - those were resolved within a day or two, so there was a brief period where it was incompatible with 1.5, but that's no longer true.
So it was incompatible with 1.5 for less than 48 hours. Latest version works fine against 1.5, enjoy :-)
- FilterJoe 14y agoThanks for piping in - unfortunately I'm too late to edit my 1.5 comment. Can you describe the easiest way for non-developers to get started with Mezzanine? Is there a way to do it that doesn't involve installing Python, Django, virtualenv, Mezzanine, other apps, etc.?
- stephen_mcd 14y agoRoss Laird wrote an absolutely beautiful Mezzanine tutorial geared towards new developers: http://rosslaird.com/blog/first-steps-with-mezzanine/ http://rosslaird.com/blog/first-steps-with-mezzanine/ That's part one, there are several on his site.
- phunel 14y agoI agree, Ross's tutorial is brilliant. Unfortunately it stops right before deployment. For a new developer, or someone who is tech savvy, but not a programmer - deployment can be a maze. I installed Mezzanine on a VPS, something I'm sure is fairly common - so the localhost wasn't available - so that complicated things a bit. Got mod_wsgi working with apache, but not with Mezzanine. Anyway, not to turn this into a support query or anything - but I think deployment is tricky. Ross ended up shooting over some code snippets and I was very grateful for them, but would love to see deployment covered in the same way he did the other parts of the tutorial if there are any takers.
