Previously, GET, POST, and FILES on an HttpRequest were created in the __init__ method as dictionaries. This was not something you would usually notice causing trouble in production as you'd only see a WSGIRequest, but in testing using the test client, calling .getlist on GET, POST, or FILES for a request with no get/post data resulted in an AttributeError. Changed GET and POST on an HttpRequest object to be mutable QueryDicts (mutable because the Django tests, and probably many third party tests, were expecting it).
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. [1] http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html [2] http://sphinx-doc.org/
