2009-03-24A bunch of improvements for conditional HTTP processing.Malcolm Tredinnick
Fixed some typos in the code (fixed #10586). Added more tests. Made the tests compatible with Python 2.3. Improved the documentation by putting the good news and common use-case right up front. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10134 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-23Added 1.1 beta release notes.Jacob Kaplan-Moss
git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10130 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-23Made default MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES same as in project_template.Luke Plant
And updated docs, and also corrected them about middleware by removing 'XViewMiddleware' git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10129 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-23Reverted 10094 and 10095 (in favour of solution that will hopefully land for ↵Luke Plant
beta 2) git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10128 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-22Fixed #5791 -- Added early-bailout support for views (ETags and Last-modified).Malcolm Tredinnick
This provides support for views that can have their ETag and/or Last-modified values computed much more quickly than the view itself. Supports all HTTP verbs (not just GET). Documentation and tests need a little more fleshing out (I'm not happy with the documentation at the moment, since it's a bit backwards), but the functionality is correct. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10114 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-21Added a versionadded directive to new redirect shortcut (refs #10194).Gary Wilson Jr
git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10111 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-21Fixed #10194: added `django.shortcuts.redirect`, a do-what-I-mean redirect ↵Jacob Kaplan-Moss
shortcut. See the docs at topics/http/shortcuts for details. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10108 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-19Updated all refs to default middleware in docs.Luke Plant
(adding CSRF, removing XView which is no longer a default) git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10095 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-19Added some documentation explaining "managed=False" vs. "proxy=True".Malcolm Tredinnick
These features look similar, but they're not identical. They can't be merged into one (without requiring at least two Meta parameters anyway), so we've made them have APIs that match their natural use-cases most easily. Anyway, the documentation explains both the details and gives some simple to follow rules. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10089 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-18Fixed #10482 -- Unified access to response.context when inspecting responses ↵Russell Keith-Magee
from the test client. Thanks to James Bennett for the design, and Julien Phalip for the patch. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10084 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-18Fixed #10356 -- Added pure-Python inheritance for models (a.k.a proxy models).Malcolm Tredinnick
Large portions of this are needed for #5420, so I implemented it fully. Thanks to Ryan Kelly for an initial patch to get this started. Refs #5420. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10083 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-15Fixed #10507 -- Corrected formatting problem in ModelForm docs. Thanks to ↵Russell Keith-Magee
Paul Menzel for the report. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10064 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-15Fixed #689 -- Added a middleware and authentication backend to contrib.auth ↵Gary Wilson Jr
for supporting external authentication solutions. Thanks to all who contributed to this patch, including Ian Holsman, garthk, Koen Biermans, Marc Fargas, ekarulf, and Ramiro Morales. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10063 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-15Fixed #8164 -- Fields on a ModelForm are now ordered in the order specified ↵Russell Keith-Magee
in the fields attribute of the ModelForm's Meta class. Thanks to Alex Gaynor for the patch. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10062 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-15Documented patterns for adding extra managers to model subclasses.Malcolm Tredinnick
This seems to have been a source of confusion, so now we have some explicit examples. Fixed #9676. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10058 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-15Clarified and expanded documentation for Manager.use_for_related_fields.Malcolm Tredinnick
This is for Manager subclasses that are default managers, but only sometimes. The general rule is: "don't use it." If you really need it, read the instructions. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10057 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-14Made a bunch of edits to docs/topics/cache.txt, mostly based on stuff from ↵Adrian Holovaty
the Django Book git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10055 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-11Fixed #6464 -- Added incr() and decr() operations on cache backends. Atomic ↵Russell Keith-Magee
on Memcache; implemented as a 2 stage retrieve/update on other backends. Includes refactor of the cache tests to ensure all the backends are actually tested, and a fix to the DB cache backend that was discovered as a result. Thanks to Michael Malone for the original patch. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10031 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-11Fixed #3460 -- Added an ability to enable true autocommit for psycopg2 backend.Malcolm Tredinnick
Ensure to read the documentation before blindly enabling this: requires some code audits first, but might well be worth it for busy sites. Thanks to nicferrier, iamseb and Richard Davies for help with this patch. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10029 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-09Made a couple of cross-references in the model fields documentaiton consistent.Malcolm Tredinnick
git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10007 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-09Changed a few versionadded doc directives from "development" to "1.1".Malcolm Tredinnick
git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@10005 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37

2009-03-04Made it explicit if you accidentally override a Field from a parent model.Malcolm Tredinnick
This was always not working reliably (model initialization and serialization were two of the problems). Now, it's an explicit error. Also, documented. Fixed #10252. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9974 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-03Minor update to documentation for many-to-many filter() calls.Malcolm Tredinnick
Removed a potential ambiguity when describing how multiple conditions in one filter() call are handled. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9958 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-03-02Small edit to the caching docs.Malcolm Tredinnick
Turns out, super-lightning is not faster than normal lightning. :-) git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9949 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-02-28Fixed #10377: Added clearer warning to database notes for cx_Oracle 5.0.James Bennett
git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9922 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-02-27Fixed #4476 -- Added a ``follow`` option to the test client request methods. ↵Russell Keith-Magee
This implements browser-like behavior for the test client, following redirect chains when a 30X response is received. Thanks to Marc Fargas and Keith Bussell for their work on this. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9911 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-02-24Fixed #10344 -- Corrected some typos in the aggregation docs. Thanks to ↵Russell Keith-Magee
ewoudenberg for the report. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9904 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-02-23Fixed #10182 -- Corrected realiasing and the process of evaluating values() ↵Russell Keith-Magee
for queries with aggregate clauses. This means that aggregate queries can now be used as subqueries (such as in an __in clause). Thanks to omat for the report. This involves a slight change to the interaction of annotate() and values() clauses that specify a list of columns. See the docs for details. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9888 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-02-22Fixed #9347 -- Added an entry in the field reference for the verbose_name ↵Russell Keith-Magee

2009-02-22Fixed #10009 -- Corrected a field reference in an example on rendering ↵Russell Keith-Magee
hidden fields. Thanks to karihre@gmail.com for the report. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9862 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-02-22Fixed #10118 -- Clarified the error message raised when accessing a subclass ↵Russell Keith-Magee
model that doesn't exist. Thanks to peterbraden@peterbraden.co.uk for the suggestion. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9859 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37

quotes. Thanks for bringing this up, thedaniel git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9850 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-02-19Fixed #10303 -- Corrected a contradiction in the docs regarding the ↵Russell Keith-Magee
capabilities of the .update() clause that was introduced by the documentation for F() expressions. Thanks to gluckj for the report. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9846 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-02-16Auth-related doc cleanups:Gary Wilson Jr
* Added to documentation of missing characters from `allowed_chars` in `make_random_password`. * Fixed several long lines and word wraps. * Added a reference link to the "How to log a user in" section and made a later reference to this section an actual link using the `:ref:` directive. * Turned a command line code example into a code block. * Added attribute reference link for a ``request.META`` mention. * Added `code-block:: html` directives for HTML examples. * Corrected reference links for all the `auth.views` functions. * Added a few function signatures and documentation of optional parameters that were missing for some of the the `auth.views` functions (refs #10272). git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9835 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-02-15A few minor wording, whitespace, punctuation, and link changes for the ↵Gary Wilson Jr
middleware documentation. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9833 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37

trigeek38 for the report. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9814 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-01-29Fixed #8638 -- Added documentation on how to redirect email to a dummy ↵Russell Keith-Magee
server for testing purposes. Thanks to Rob Hudson and Marc Fargas for their work on the draft for this change. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9793 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-01-29Fixed #7210 -- Added F() expressions to query language. See the ↵Russell Keith-Magee
documentation for details on usage. Many thanks to: * Nicolas Lara, who worked on this feature during the 2008 Google Summer of Code. * Alex Gaynor for his help debugging and fixing a number of issues. * Malcolm Tredinnick for his invaluable review notes. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9792 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-01-23Fixed #10052 -- Added import line for other aggregates used in examples. ↵Russell Keith-Magee
Thanks to Tyler Brownell <tyler@bluefoxstudio.ca> for the suggestion. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9787 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
2009-01-16Fixed #8138 -- Changed django.test.TestCase to rollback tests (when the ↵Karen Tracey
database supports it) instead of flushing and reloading the database. This can substantially reduce the time it takes to run large test suites. This change may be slightly backwards incompatible, if existing tests need to test transactional behavior, or if they rely on invalid assumptions or a specific test case ordering. For the first case, django.test.TransactionTestCase should be used. TransactionTestCase is also a quick fix to get around test case errors revealed by the new rollback approach, but a better long-term fix is to correct the test case. See the testing doc for full details. Many thanks to: * Marc Remolt for the initial proposal and implementation. * Luke Plant for initial testing and improving the implementation. * Ramiro Morales for feedback and help with tracking down a mysterious PostgreSQL issue. * Eric Holscher for feedback regarding the effect of the change on the Ellington testsuite. * Russell Keith-Magee for guidance and feedback from beginning to end. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9756 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37

2009-01-15Fixed #10039 -- More typos in aggregation docs. Seriously, people, now ↵Russell Keith-Magee
you're just making me look bad :-) Thanks to ElliottM, and to Erich Holscher for a separate report that I've piggybacked on this checkin. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@9754 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37
