Django 1.1.2 release notes — UNDER DEVELOPMENT
|
||
|
|
==============================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This page documents release notes for the as-yet-unreleased Django
|
||
|
|
1.1.2. As such it is tentative and subject to change. It provides
|
||
|
|
up-to-date information for those who are following the 1.1.X branch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the second "bugfix" release in the Django 1.1 series,
|
||
|
|
improving the stability and performance of the Django 1.1 codebase.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Django 1.1.2 maintains backwards compatibility with Django
|
||
|
|
1.1.0, but contain a number of fixes and other
|
||
|
|
improvements. Django 1.1.2 is a recommended upgrade for any
|
||
|
|
development or deployment currently using or targeting Django 1.1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For full details on the new features, backwards incompatibilities, and
|
||
|
|
deprecated features in the 1.1 branch, see the :ref:`releases-1.1`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One new feature
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ordinarily, a point release would not include new features, but in the
|
||
|
|
case of Django 1.1.2, we have made an exception to this rule. Django
|
||
|
|
1.2 (the next major release of Django) will contain a feature that
|
||
|
|
will improve protection against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
|
||
|
|
attacks. This feature requires the use of a new :ttag:`csrf_token`
|
||
|
|
template tag in all forms that Django renders.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make it easier to support both 1.1.X and 1.2.X versions of Django with
|
||
|
|
the same templates, we have decided to introduce the :ttag:`csrf_token` template
|
||
|
|
tag to the 1.1.X branch. In the 1.1.X branch, :ttag:`csrf_token` does nothing -
|
||
|
|
it has no effect on templates or form processing. However, it means that the
|
||
|
|
same template will work with Django 1.2.
