Work for django-firebird continue with support for Django 1.7.x

Maxi Robaina ‏ wrote on the django-firebird mailing list

Greetings folks,

After a long time (Sorry, I have a lot of work), I finally could merge the develop branch (experimental) into master. That means the master branch is now the “official” stable branch. This is based on django 1.7 and need to be tested more deeply, especially the new migration feature.

The last stable version of django is 1.8.x LTS and the 1.9 version is in beta 1 stage. So, django-firebird 1.7 (still in alpha), it will be a transition version and the idea is that let’s have a new django-firebird with django 1.8 support, I hope soon.

By now, we need close some issues before promote the master branch to first release candidate, mainly those labeled as bug.
