What's new in Django 1.1 RC 1
=============================
The Django codebase has been in feature freeze since the first 1.1
beta release, and so this release candidate contains only one new
feature (introduced as part of the resolution of a larger bug; see
below for a description); work leading up to this release candidate
has instead been focused on bugfixing, particularly on the new
features introduced prior to the 1.1 beta.
The Django codebase has -- with one exception -- been in feature
freeze since the first 1.1 beta release, and so this release candidate

on the new features introduced prior to the 1.1 beta.
For an overview of those features, consult :ref:`the Django 1.1 beta
release notes <releases-1.1-beta-1>`.

The 1.1 beta release introduced the ability to use reverse URL
resolution with Django's admin application, which exposed a set of
:ref:`named URLs <naming-url-patterns>`. This feature still exists,
but in order to provide consistent resolution of admin URLs, including
support for multiple :class:`~django.contrib.admin.AdminSite` objects
in use in a single installation, a new feature has been introduced:
URL "namespaces".
:ref:`named URLs <naming-url-patterns>`. Unfortunately, achieving
consistent and correct reverse resolution for admin URLs proved
extremely difficult, and so one additional feature was added to Django
to resolve this issue: URL namespaces.
This takes the form of an additional supported argument --
``namespace`` -- to the ``include()`` function used to include groups
of URL patterns in a Django URLConf. When this argument is used,
pattern names supplied for reverse resolution may specify the
namespace in addition to the pattern name (using a colon as separator;
e.g., ``namespace-name:pattern-name``), and the reverse resolver will
take the namespace into account when searching for a match.
For more details, see :ref:`the documentation on defining URL
namespaces <topics-http-defining-url-namespaces>`.
In short, this feature allows the same group of URLs, from the same
application, to be included in a Django URLConf multiple times, with
varying (and potentially nested) named prefixes which will be used
when performing reverse resolution. For full details, see :ref:`the
documentation on defining URL namespaces
<topics-http-defining-url-namespaces>`.
Due to the changes needed to support this feature, the URL pattern
names used when reversing admin URLs have changed since the 1.1 beta
