===========================
Django Deprecation Timeline
===========================
This document outlines when various pieces of Django will be removed, following
their deprecation, as per the :ref:`Django deprecation policy
<internal-release-deprecation-policy>`
* 1.3
* ``AdminSite.root()``. This release will remove the old method for
hooking up admin URLs. This has been deprecated since the 1.1
release.
* 1.4
* ``CsrfResponseMiddleware``. This has been deprecated since the 1.2
release, in favour of the template tag method for inserting the CSRF
token. ``CsrfMiddleware``, which combines ``CsrfResponseMiddleware``
and ``CsrfViewMiddleware``, is also deprecated.
* The old imports for CSRF functionality (``django.contrib.csrf.*``),
which moved to core in 1.2, will be removed.
* ``SMTPConnection``. The 1.2 release deprecated the ``SMTPConnection``
class in favor of a generic E-mail backend API.
* The many to many SQL generation functions on the database backends
will be removed. These have been deprecated since the 1.2 release.
* 2.0
* ``django.views.defaults.shortcut()``. This function has been moved
to ``django.contrib.contenttypes.views.shortcut()`` as part of the
goal of removing all ``django.contrib`` references from the core
Django codebase. The old shortcut will be removed in the 2.0
release.
