+ Prior to Django 1.0.3, there was a bug in the view that provided directory
+ listings. The template that was loaded had to be called
+ ``static/directory_listing`` (with no ``.html`` extension). For backwards
+ compatibility with earlier versions, Django will still load templates with
+ the older (no extension) name, but it will prefer a the
+ ``directory_index.html`` version.
