News and Updates

The second beta release of the SQLAlchemy 2.1 series is now available.

Release 2.1.0b2 adds new support for the mssql-python DBAPI, a driver for Microsoft SQL Server produced directly by Microsoft. A few other features and bug fixes are also introduced.

Depending on feedback for release 2.1.0b2, the next release may be 2.1.0 final, unless further issues that can benefit from beta testing are added.

SQLAlchemy 2.1 includes over 90 individual documented changes, so be sure to check out not just the What's New in SQLAlchemy 2.1? migration guide, but the detailed changelog at Changelog as well.

SQLAlchemy 2.1.0b2 by naming convention is a beta release, so only installs with pip if the --pre flag is included. Links to pypi for SQLAlchemy 2.1.0b2 are available on the Download Page.
