+Password reset view now accepts ``from_email``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The :func:`django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset` view now accepts a
+``from_email`` parameter, which is passed to the ``password_reset_form``'s
+``save()`` method as a keyword argument. If you are using this view with a
+custom password reset form, then you will need to ensure your form's ``save()``
+method accepts this keyword argument.
