WOMBAT 0.5.0 released

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

Changes since the 0.4.5 release include:

• Art upload features as mentioned above
• Security hardening
  • More resistance against command injection
  • More complicated password algorithm to slow down rainbow-table attacks
• Multiple bug fixes

As always, the Wombat demo site has the latest version for you to test.
