What's new in Django 1.5
========================
Configurable User model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Django 1.5, you can now use your own model as the store for user-related
data. If your project needs a username with more than 30 characters, or if
you want to store usernames in a format other than first name/last name, or
you want to put custom profile information onto your User object, you can
now do so.
If you have a third-party reusable application that references the User model,
you may need to make some changes to the way you reference User instances. You
should also document any specific features of the User model that your
application relies upon.
See the :ref:`documentation on custom User models <auth-custom-user>` for
more details.
Support for saving a subset of model's fields
