Minor features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The new :attr:`UploadedFile.content_type_extra
<django.core.files.uploadedfile.UploadedFile.content_type_extra>` attribute
contains extra parameters passed to the ``content-type`` header on a file
upload.
* The ``enter`` argument was added to the
:data:`~django.test.signals.setting_changed` signal.
* The :meth:`QuerySet.update_or_create()
<django.db.models.query.QuerySet.update_or_create>` method was added.
* :attr:`~django.db.models.Options.app_label` is no longer required for models
that are defined in a ``models`` package within an app.
* The :meth:`Context.push() <django.template.Context.push>` method now returns
a context manager which automatically calls :meth:`pop()
<django.template.Context.pop>` upon exiting the ``with`` statement.
Additionally, :meth:`push() <django.template.Context.push>` now accepts
parameters that are passed to the ``dict`` constructor used to build the new
context level.
* The :class:`~django.utils.feedgenerator.Atom1Feed` syndication feed's
``updated`` element now utilizes ``updateddate`` instead of ``pubdate``,
allowing the ``published`` element to be included in the feed (which
relies on ``pubdate``).
:mod:`django.contrib.admin`
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Buttons in :mod:`django.contrib.admin` now use the ``border-radius`` CSS
property for rounded corners rather than GIF background images.

parameter for sending a multipart ``text/plain`` and ``text/html`` email.

disable the colorization of management command output.
* The :mod:`sitemap framework<django.contrib.sitemaps>` now makes use of
:attr:`~django.contrib.sitemaps.Sitemap.lastmod` to set a ``Last-Modified``
header in the response. This makes it possible for the
:class:`~django.middleware.http.ConditionalGetMiddleware` to handle
conditional ``GET`` requests for sitemaps which set ``lastmod``.
* You can override the new :meth:`AuthenticationForm.confirm_login_allowed()
<django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm.confirm_login_allowed>` method
to more easily customize the login policy.
* :attr:`Field.choices<django.db.models.Field.choices>` now allows you to
customize the "empty choice" label by including a tuple with an empty string
or ``None`` for the key and the custom label as the value. The default blank
option ``"----------"`` will be omitted in this case.
* The admin's search fields can now be customized per-request thanks to the new
:meth:`django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.get_search_fields` method.

Backwards incompatible changes in 1.7

* The :meth:`django.db.models.Model.__eq__` method has changed such that
two ``Model`` instances without primary key values won't be considered
equal (unless they are the same instance).
* The :meth:`django.db.models.Model.__hash__` will now raise ``TypeError``
when called on an instance without a primary key value. This is done to
avoid mutable ``__hash__`` values in containers.
