Django 1.2 & 1.1.2 out now

Posted by Matt on May 19, 2010 at 15:06

Although I'm posting a few days late, we have 2 new versions of Django.

Django 1.1.2, a bug-fix release, which also includes a new feature. More on that here.

The more important stuff, Django 1.2, which looks to have an update today/tomorrow 1.2.1 due to a localisation error on forms.

Plenty of new stuff in Django 1.2 to play around with.

There are also a number of deprecated;

• Specifying databases
• postgresql database backend
• CSRF response-rewriting middleware
• SMTPConnection
• User Messages API
• Date format helper functions
• email_re
• Function-based test runners
• Feed in django.contrib.syndication.feeds
• Technical message IDs
• GeoDjango
• SpatialBackend
• SpatialRefSys and GeometryColumns models
• Language code no

and several backwards-incompatible changes;

• CSRF Protection
• get_db_prep_*() methods on Field
• Stateful template tags
• user_passes_test, login_required and permission_required
• if tag changes
• LazyObject
• __dict__ on model instances
• Test runner exit status code
• Cookie encoding
• ModelForm.is_valid() and ModelForm.errors
• BooleanField on MySQL
• Changes to the interpretation of max_num in FormSets
