Windmill 1.4 Released
Nov 10th
After a year of moving the project to GitHub, changing jobs, moving to San Francisco and 4 beta releases, Windmill 1.4 is finally up on PYPI.
You may be asking, what in this release could be so awesome that it took a whole year+.. well the answer is, LOTS.
The major things that come to mind involve, automatically waiting for actions, dropping your unnecessary failure cases running in CI. We have also had major contributions to the Django integration code, the addition of Google Chrome on three platforms, and insane amounts of bug fixes you should checkout here.
Having delayed an insane amount of time in getting this out, I have to apologize that I haven’t had a chance to tackle the Win 7 Safari and Chrome issues, but they are next on the list (would love a contributions on this one).
Another big issue is that right click is still not working properly on IE, I spent an afternoon of Googling and if anyone has ideas on how to fire this correctly in JavaScript — please let me know.
I have really enjoyed working with all of you out there in the community, thanks for your continuing participation and the last year of patience!

Thanking our Community!
Aug 18th
Since January 1′st Mikeal, MDE and I have been really busy with new adventures but I wanted to thank our community for stepping up and continuing to improve Windmill.
The web sites, getwindmill.com and the github project have been continuing to get more and more traffic all the time. With spikes of over 1000 users on getwindmill.com and 381 users in a day on the github project a couple months ago (averaging around 200 users a day I can safely say that Windmill is continuing to grow it’s user base.
We haven’t done a release since Windmill 1.3, and there have been lots of changes to infrastructure, patches and issues fixed so I think in the coming weeks my plan is to package up and release Windmill 1.5.
There is no game plan carved in stone, but I would like to spend some time sprucing up the IDE theme as it’s starting to look a bit dated.
I will be at both CouchCamp and JS EU in Berlin next month, if any Windmill’ers are attending it would be great to meet up for a beverage.
Thanks for your patience and persistence everyone!
Cheers,
Adam
Windmill 1.0RC1 Released
Feb 5th
Today Windmill 1.0RC1 was finally pushed to the pypi!
We advise that you:
easy_install -U windmill
This release includes an absolutely huge list of bug fixes, including some very important issues in the proxy server and drag and drop code. The list of bugs fixed can be found in the 1.0 section on the Trac Milestone.
At this point we are looking for critical blockers only for the 1.0 release, which we are planning to push before PyCon US next month. Please log any issues you find in Trac so that they can be triaged accordingly.
As some of you may know, we have recently moved our hosting over to OpenQA, we are very excited to join that community and the great projects it represents. In addition to the great tools we are using we now have even more available to us, including the OpenQA instance of FishEye.
Thanks for your continued interest, contributions and involvement — as always we are available in #windmill on freenode!
