Russell Keith-Magee 5ecc0f828e [1.6.x] Ensure that passwords are never long enough for a DoS.
* Limit the password length to 4096 bytes
  * Password hashers will raise a ValueError
  * django.contrib.auth forms will fail validation
 * Document in release notes that this is a backwards incompatible change

Thanks to Josh Wright for the report, and Donald Stufft for the patch.

This is a security fix; disclosure to follow shortly.

README

The documentation in this tree is in plain text files and can be viewed using
any text file viewer.

It uses ReST (reStructuredText) [1], and the Sphinx documentation system [2].  
This allows it to be built into other forms for easier viewing and browsing.

To create an HTML version of the docs:

* Install Sphinx (using ``sudo pip install Sphinx`` or some other method)

* In this docs/ directory, type ``make html`` (or ``make.bat html`` on
  Windows) at a shell prompt.

The documentation in _build/html/index.html can then be viewed in a web browser.
