What's new in Django 1.2
========================
CSRF support
------------
Django now has much improved protection against :ref:`Cross-Site
Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks<ref-contrib-csrf>`. This type of attack
occurs when a malicious Web site contains a link, a form button or
some javascript that is intended to perform some action on your Web
site, using the credentials of a logged-in user who visits the
malicious site in their browser. A related type of attack, 'login
CSRF', where an attacking site tricks a user's browser into logging
into a site with someone else's credentials, is also covered.
Email Backends
--------------
You can now :ref:`configure the way that Django sends email
<topic-email-backends>`. Instead of using SMTP to send all email, you
can now choose a configurable email backend to send messages. If your
hosting provider uses a sandbox or some other non-SMTP technique for
sending mail, you can now construct an email backend that will allow
Django's standard :ref:`mail sending methods<topics-email>` to use
those facilities.
This also makes it easier to debug mail sending - Django ships with
backend implementations that allow you to send email to a
:ref:`file<topic-email-file-backend>`, to the
:ref:`console<topic-email-console-backend>`, or to
:ref:`memory<topic-email-memory-backend>` - you can even configure all
email to be :ref:`thrown away<topic-email-console-backend>`.
