WOMBAT 0.5.0 release
The Wombat team is happy to release Wombat 0.5.0
Compared to the 0.4.0 release, Wombat 0.5.0 sports a lot of new features.
Notable differences are:
- Now based on Pylons 0.9.7 and SQLAlchemy 0.5
- No support for Python 2.4 anymore due to Pylons requirements
- Users can now upload artwork
- Uploaded artwork will be committed to the media repository after moderation by an administrator or lead artist
- Tag-based browsing and other new UI features
- A new subversion backend uses pysvn instead of executing the svn shell commands
- Automated database cleanups

As always, the current release can be tested on the Wombat demo site. As a new service, current progress can be seen on the Wombat development site, which shows the state of Wombat at the tip of the development. While the demo site shows the WorldForge media repository, the development site uses a scaled down repository to allow for faster database rebuilds in case something goes wrong.
