Released: SQL Server 3rd Party Backend for Django v1.4

We have released version 1.4 of the SQL Server 3rd Party Backend for Django. This release contains support for the release of Django 5.0 as well as a number of issue fixes.

Our plan is to support major releases of Django and SQL Server, to ensure users of this project can keep up to date with Django while continuing to use SQL Server as a backend.

Added:

• Add db_comment support (#318)
• Django 5.0 support (#327)

Fixed:

• Fix introspection test on SmallAutoField (#287)
• Fix converting date/time from character string. (#290)
• Add logic to include deleting _meta.indexes to _delete_indexes (#292)
• Implement fix for empty aggregate (#324)

For more details of release changes and fixes, please see the Release Notes.

To use this backend for Django 5.0, no changes are required to your existing Django project settings - provided it is already configured for MSSQL (see project README).

If you encounter any issues or have any feedback, head over to our mssql-django project repository and submit an issue.
