And I think a lot of people aren't commenting about that because it's not "new" per se and is done well by South.
- collyw 13y agoI am wondering what the real difference will be in day to day use? Other than the "south" line in installed apps, it sounds like it will be very similar.
- tragic 13y agoAs I understand it, the new migrations module is more fully featured than south: eg, it intelligently squashes/flattens migrations together to avoid redundancy when you run the migrations (say you create a model in migration 1, and remove it in migration 3 after changing approach, the whole operation will be skipped).[0] This will speed things up if you have a lot of migrations to run. I think I heard that some of this stuff will be backported to South for those of us stuck on 1.5/1.6, however.
