+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.

+What's new in Django 1.2
+========================
+
+CSRF support
+------------
+
+Django now has much improved protection against :ref:`Cross-Site
+Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks<ref-contrib-csrf>`. This type of attack
+occurs when a malicious Web site contains a link, a form button or
+some javascript that is intended to perform some action on your Web
+site, using the credentials of a logged-in user who visits the
+malicious site in their browser. A related type of attack, 'login
+CSRF', where an attacking site tricks a user's browser into logging
+into a site with someone else's credentials, is also covered.
+
+Email Backends
+--------------
+
+You can now :ref:`configure the way that Django sends email
+<topic-email-backends>`. Instead of using SMTP to send all email, you
+can now choose a configurable email backend to send messages. If your
+hosting provider uses a sandbox or some other non-SMTP technique for
+sending mail, you can now construct an email backend that will allow
+Django's standard :ref:`mail sending methods<topics-email>` to use
+those facilities.
+
+This also makes it easier to debug mail sending - Django ships with
+backend implementations that allow you to send email to a
+:ref:`file<topic-email-file-backend>`, to the
+:ref:`console<topic-email-console-backend>`, or to
+:ref:`memory<topic-email-memory-backend>` - you can even configure all
+email to be :ref:`thrown away<topic-email-console-backend>`.
