Libraries/Third-party Apps
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are a library or app maintainer, and wish to support both South migrations
(for Django 1.6 and below) and Django migrations (for 1.7 and above) you should
keep two parallel migration sets in your app, one in each format.
To aid in this, South 1.0 will automatically look for South-format migrations
in a ``south_migrations`` directory first, before looking in ``migrations``,
meaning that users' projects will transparently use the correct set as long
as you put your South migrations in the ``south_migrations`` directory and
your Django migrations in the ``migrations`` directory.
More information is available in the
`South 1.0 release notes <http://south.readthedocs.org/en/latest/releasenotes/1.0.html#library-migration-path>`_.
