    Tweaked default settings file.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Tue Jan 29 11:29:13 2013 +0100

    Adjusted the default URLconf detection to account for the admin.

    It's now enabled by default.

commit 5fb4da0d3d09dac28dd94e3fde92b9d4335c0565
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Tue Jan 29 10:36:55 2013 +0100

    Added security warnings for the most sensitive settings.

commit 718d84bd8ac4a42fb4b28ec93965de32680f091e
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 23:24:06 2013 +0100

    Used an absolute path for the SQLite database.

    This ensures the settings file works regardless of which directory
    django-admin.py / manage.py is invoked from.

    BASE_DIR got a +1 from a BDFL and another core dev. It doesn't involve
    the concept of a "Django project"; it's just a convenient way to express
    relative paths within the source code repository for non-Python files.

    Thanks Jacob Kaplan-Moss for the suggestion.

commit 1b559b4bcda622e10909b68fe5cab90db6727dd9
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 23:22:40 2013 +0100

    Removed STATIC_ROOT from the default settings template.

    It isn't necessary in development, and it confuses beginners to no end.

    Thanks Carl Meyer for the suggestion.

commit a55f141a500bb7c9a1bc259bbe1954c13b199671
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 23:21:43 2013 +0100

    Removed MEDIA_ROOT/URL from default settings template.

    Many sites will never deal with user-uploaded files, and MEDIA_ROOT is
    complicated to explain.

    Thanks Carl Meyer for the suggestion.

commit 44bf2f2441420fd9429ee9fe1f7207f92dd87e70
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 22:22:09 2013 +0100

    Removed logging config.

    This configuration is applied regardless of the value of LOGGING;
    duplicating it in LOGGING is confusing.

commit eac747e848eaed65fd5f6f254f0a7559d856f88f
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 22:05:31 2013 +0100

    Enabled the locale middleware by default.

    USE_I18N is True by default, and doesn't work well without
    LocaleMiddleware.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>

    Enabled clickjacking protection by default.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 22:01:48 2013 +0100

    Reorganized settings in logical sections, and trimmed comments.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 16:54:11 2013 +0100

    Avoided misleading TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG.

    According to the docs TEMPLATE_DEBUG works only when DEBUG = True.

commit 15d9478d3a9850e85841e7cf09cf83050371c6bf
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 16:46:25 2013 +0100

    Removed STATICFILES_FINDERS/TEMPLATE_LOADERS from default settings file.

    Only developers with special needs ever need to change these settings.

commit 574da0eb5bfb4570883756914b4dbd7e20e1f61e
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 16:45:01 2013 +0100

    Removed STATICFILES/TEMPLATES_DIRS from default settings file.

    The current best practice is to put static files and templates in
    applications, for easier testing and deployment.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 16:24:16 2013 +0100

    Removed settings related to email reporting from default settings file.

    While handy for small scale projects, it isn't exactly a best practice.

commit 8ecbfcb3638058f0c49922540f874a7d802d864f
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>

    Documented how to enable the sites framework.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 16:28:59 2013 +0100

    Disabled the sites framework by default.

    RequestSite does the job for single-domain websites.

    Added a default admin.py to the application template.

    Thanks Ryan D Hiebert for the suggestion.

    Enabled the admin by default.

    Everyone uses the admin.

    Added links to the settings documentation.

    Used a significant example for URLconf includes.

    Moved code comments about WSGI to docs, and rewrote said docs.

commit 50417e51996146f891d08ca8b74dcc736a581932
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 15:51:50 2013 +0100

    Normalized the default application template.

    Removed the default test that 1 + 1 = 2, because it's been committed
    way too many times, in too many projects.

    Added an import of `render` for views, because the first view will
    often be:

    def home(request):
        return render(request, "mysite/home.html")

README.rst

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development
and clean, pragmatic design. Thanks for checking it out.

All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/. If you're just getting started, here's
how we recommend you read the docs:

* First, read docs/intro/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.

* Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/intro/tutorial01.txt,
  docs/intro/tutorial02.txt, etc.).

* If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read
  docs/howto/deployment/index.txt for instructions.

* You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics)
  next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specific
  problems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details.

* See docs/README for instructions on building an HTML version of the docs.

Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket
here:
