Django South alternative?
database-migration, django, django-south
Solution
The same thought django core developers had. Since Django 1.7, migrations is a built-in feature:
Django now has built-in support for schema migrations. It allows models to be updated, changed, and deleted by creating migration files that represent the model changes and which can be run on any development, staging or production database.
Note that 1.7 is not a stable version at the moment.
Problem
After reading some older posts about Django South's features, I began wondering why there wasn't a similar tool built in to Django itself. Then I was curious if maybe something had been added these last few years. Has something been added? Are there any alternatives to South, or is it the accepted way of handling migrations and such?
