This recent post, How to use Evolutions in Play Framework 2.0?, says that evolutions will automatically be applied when running Play 2.0. I\'ve tried the play-2.0-beta download
As of RC-3, the new location of the evolutions scripts is in conf/evolutions/[dbname]/1.sql. Otherwise, the information above is all still accurate.
Please try one of the Play 20 sample applications and you will be prompted to apply evolutions upon application startup - the request appears in the application browser the first time you start the app.
Adding applyEvolutions.default=true
to your application.conf will enable evolutions by default in your application.
