Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

We’ve switched the admin and other bundled templates to use the HTML5 doctype.

As part of an effort to improve the performance and usability of the admin’s change-list sorting interface and “filter” widgets, some icon files were removed and grouped into two sprite files.
If you used those icons to customize the admin, then you’ll need to replace them with your own icons or get the files from a previous release.
To avoid conflicts with other common CSS class names (e.g. “button”), we added a prefix (“field-”) to all CSS class names automatically generated from the form field names in the main admin forms, stacked inline forms and tabular inline cells. You’ll need to take that prefix into account in your custom style sheets or JavaScript files if you previously used plain field names as selectors for custom styles or JavaScript transformations.
- Consequences: The user will see the validation error “Security hash failed.”
- Note: This is actually a Django 1.1 fallback, not Django 1.2, and it applies only if you’re upgrading from 1.1.
- Consequences: Each user’s password will be updated to a stronger password hash when it’s written to the database in 1.4. This means that if you upgrade to 1.4 and then need to downgrade to 1.3, version 1.3 won’t be able to read the updated passwords.
