+title: "Python-TUF reaches version 1.0.0"
+author: Jussi Kukkonen and Lukas Pühringer
+---
+
+The Python-TUF community is proud to announce the release of Python-TUF 1.0.0.
+The release, which is available on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/tuf/) and
+[GitHub](https://github.com/theupdateframework/python-tuf/), introduces new
+stable and more ergonomic APIs.
+
+<img align="right" src="../../../tuf-icon-200.png" width="200"/>
+
+Python-TUF is the reference implementation of [The Update
+Framework](https://theupdateframework.io/) specification, an open source
+framework for securing content delivery and updates. It protects against
+various types of supply chain attacks and provides resilience to compromise.
+
+For the past 7 releases the project has introduced new designs and
+implementations, which have gradually formed two new stable APIs:
+- [`ngclient`](https://theupdateframework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/tuf.ngclient.html):
+  A client API that offers a robust internal design providing implementation
+  safety and flexibility to application developers.
+- [`Metadata API`](https://theupdateframework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/tuf.api.html):
+  A low-level interface for both consuming and creating TUF metadata. Metadata
+  API is a flexible and easy-to-use building block for any higher level tool or
+  library.
+
+Python-TUF 1.0.0 is the result of a comprehensive rewrite of the project,
+removing several hard to maintain modules and replacing them with safer and
+easier to use APIs:
+- The project was reduced from 4700 lines of hard to maintain code to 1400
+  lines of modern, maintainable code
+- The implementation details are now easier to reason about, which should
+  accelerate future improvements on the project
+- Metadata API provides a solid base to build other tools on top of – as proven
+  by the ngclient implementation and the [repository code
+  examples](https://github.com/theupdateframework/python-tuf/tree/develop/examples/repo_example)
+- Both new APIs are highly extensible and allow application developers to
+  include custom network stacks, file storage systems or public-key
+  cryptography algorithms, while providing easy-to-use default implementations
+
+With this foundation laid, Python-TUF developers are currently planning next
+steps. At the very least, you can expect improved repository side tooling, but
+we're also open to new ideas. Pop in to
+[#tuf](https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C8NMD3QJ3) on CNCF Slack or
+[Github issues](https://github.com/theupdateframework/python-tuf/issues/new)
+and let’s talk.
