Fixed #2575: ObjectPaginator now accepts a "orphans" option to prevent pages with only a few items. Thanks, SmileyChris.

+    This class makes pagination easy. Feed it a QuerySet or list, plus the number
+    of objects you want on each page. Then read the hits and pages properties to
     see how many pages it involves. Call get_page with a page number (starting
     at 0) to get back a list of objects for that page.
 
     Finally, check if a page number has a next/prev page using
     has_next_page(page_number) and has_previous_page(page_number).
