Django 1.1.2 release notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Django 1.1.2!
|
|
|
|
This is the second "bugfix" release in the Django 1.1 series,
|
|
improving the stability and performance of the Django 1.1 codebase.
|
|
|
|
Django 1.1.2 maintains backwards compatibility with Django
|
|
1.1.0, but contain a number of fixes and other
|
|
improvements. Django 1.1.2 is a recommended upgrade for any
|
|
development or deployment currently using or targeting Django 1.1.
|
|
|
|
For full details on the new features, backwards incompatibilities, and
|
|
deprecated features in the 1.1 branch, see the :doc:`/releases/1.1`.
|
|
|
|
Backwards-incompatible changes in 1.1.2
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
Test runner exit status code
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The exit status code of the test runners (``tests/runtests.py`` and ``python
|
|
manage.py test``) no longer represents the number of failed tests, since a
|
|
failure of 256 or more tests resulted in a wrong exit status code. The exit
|
|
status code for the test runner is now 0 for success (no failing tests) and 1
|
|
for any number of test failures. If needed, the number of test failures can be
|
|
found at the end of the test runner's output.
|
|
|
|
Cookie encoding
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
To fix bugs with cookies in Internet Explorer, Safari, and possibly other
|
|
browsers, our encoding of cookie values was changed so that the characters
|
|
comma and semi-colon are treated as non-safe characters, and are therefore
|
|
encoded as ``\054`` and ``\073`` respectively. This could produce backwards
|
|
incompatibilities, especially if you are storing comma or semi-colon in
|
|
cookies and have JavaScript code that parses and manipulates cookie values
|
|
client-side.
|
|
|
|
One new feature
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Ordinarily, a point release would not include new features, but in the
|
|
case of Django 1.1.2, we have made an exception to this rule. Django
|
|
1.2 (the next major release of Django) will contain a feature that
|
|
will improve protection against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
|
|
attacks. This feature requires the use of a new :ttag:`csrf_token`
|
|
template tag in all forms that Django renders.
|
|
|
|
To make it easier to support both 1.1.X and 1.2.X versions of Django with
|
|
the same templates, we have decided to introduce the :ttag:`csrf_token` template
|
|
tag to the 1.1.X branch. In the 1.1.X branch, :ttag:`csrf_token` does nothing -
|
|
it has no effect on templates or form processing. However, it means that the
|
|
same template will work with Django 1.2.
