14. Uh-oh, publicity
15. Closing this, as it's unlikely we'll write a model history tracker in the near future, and django-evolution does this well - no need to reinvent the wheel in that area. “ “
16. Feature Creep (of the good sort)
17. start_field_re = re.compile(r'\s*%s\s*=\s*(.*)' % field.name) for line in source[0]: # if the field was found during a previous iteration, # we're here because the field spans across multiple lines # append the current line and try again

19. Model Freezing
20. Historical ORM access Automatic change detection ‘Improved’ model parsing
21. Sanity Dawns
22. Introspection Magically supports custom fields Prevents hideous migration failure
23. SQLite Make new table Copy data from old table Delete old table Rename new table
24. Signals Speed Simplicity
25. 1.0
26. MultiDB? Non-relational? Renames!
27. Organic Growth But it's still cleanly separated
28. Database Backend Dependency/ Ordering Engine Migration Runner Auto- detector
29. The Future
30. Database Backend Dependency/ Ordering Engine South in future ??? Migration Runner Auto- detector
31. The Ultimate Goal
