From df09d854828bcff56eb72f48ff1ba8fce7e90c90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aymeric Augustin Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2014 21:24:05 +0200 Subject: Fixed #17552 -- Removed a hack for IE6 and earlier. It prevented the GZipMiddleware from compressing some data types even on more recent version of IE where the corresponding bug was fixed. Thanks Aaron Cannon for the report and Tim Graham for the review. --- docs/releases/1.8.txt | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs/releases') diff --git a/docs/releases/1.8.txt b/docs/releases/1.8.txt index 774d94d94d..26b9d37a88 100644 --- a/docs/releases/1.8.txt +++ b/docs/releases/1.8.txt @@ -273,6 +273,11 @@ Miscellaneous * Database connections are considered equal only if they're the same object.
