TurboGears 1.1 is finally released. I started with early TurboGears 1 for a work project. The upgrade to 1.1 went pretty smooth. I expected more issues. I was only bitten by the need to set identity.soprovider.model.visit in app.cfg, which wasn’t set at all so it went with the default.

I added:

identity.soprovider.model.visit=”actionstep.model.VisitIdentity”

After hearing an interview on NPR I went in search of the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. It’s bread making made simple. Definitely recommend this book.
