No new features will be +added in this branch, and it is maintained solely as a means of +providing support to legacy Django installations. - * If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read docs/modpython.txt - for instructions on running Django under mod_python. +If you're completely new to Django we highly recommend that you use +either the latest stable release or a Subversion checkout from +Django's trunk; Django is always evolving, and the latest and greatest +features are only available to users of newer versions of the +framework. - * The rest of the documentation is of the reference-manual variety. - Read it -- and the FAQ -- as you run into problems. -Docs are updated rigorously.
