+==========================
+Django 1.0.1 release notes
+==========================
+
+Welcome to Django 1.0.1!
+
+This is the first "bugfix" release in the Django 1.0 series, improving
+the stability and performance of the Django 1.0 codebase. As such,
+Django 1.0.1 contains no new features (and, pursuant to `our
+compatibility policy`_, maintains backwards compatibility with Django
+1.0), but does contain a number of fixes and other
+improvements. Django 1.0.1 is a recommended upgrade for any
+development or deployment currently using or targeting Django 1.0.
+
+
+Fixes and improvements in Django 1.0.1
+======================================
+
+Django 1.0.1 contains over two hundred fixes to the original Django
+1.0 codebase; full details of every fix are available in `the
+Subversion log of the 1.0.X branch`_, but here are some of the
+highlights:
+
+* Several fixes in ``django.contrib.comments``, pertaining to RSS
+  feeds of comments, default ordering of comments and the XHTML and
+  internationalization of the default templates for comments.
+
+* Multiple fixes for Django's support of Oracle databases, including
+  pagination support for GIS QuerySets, more efficient slicing of
+  results and improved introspection of existing databases.
+
+* Several fixes for query support in the Django object-relational
+  mapper, including repeated setting and resetting of ordering and
+  fixes for working with ``INSERT``-only queries.
+
+* Multiple fixes for inline forms in formsets.
+
+* Multiple fixes for ``unique`` and ``unique_together`` model
+  constraints in automatically-generated forms.
+
+* Fixed support for custom callable ``upload_to`` declarations when
+  handling file uploads through automatically-generated forms.
+
+* Restored support which previously existed for sorting an admin
+  change list based on a callable model attribute, by associating the
+  callable with a database-backed field.
+
+* Refactored and consolidated CSS for the Django administration
+  application, simplifying the admin stylesheets and making
+  customization easier.
+
+* A fix to the application of autoescaping for literal strings passed
+  to the ``join`` template filter. Previously, literal strings passed
+  to ``join`` were automatically escaped, contrary to `the documented
+  behavior for autoescaping and literal strings`_. Literal strings
+  passed to ``join`` are no longer automatically escaped, meaning you
+  must now manually escape them; this is an incompatibility if you
+  were relying on this bug, but not if you were relying on escaping
+  behaving as documented.
+
+* Improved and expanded translation files for many of the languages
+  Django supports by default.
+
+* And as always, a large number of improvements to Django's
+  documentation, including both corrections to existing documents and
+  expanded and new documentation.
