     2 Django 1.2.2 release notes

     3 ==========================

     4 

     5 Welcome to Django 1.2.2!

     6 

     7 This is the second "bugfix" release in the Django 1.2 series,

     8 improving the stability and performance of the Django 1.2 codebase.

     9 

    10 Django 1.2.2 maintains backwards compatibility with Django

    11 1.2.1, but contain a number of fixes and other

    12 improvements. Django 1.2.2 is a recommended upgrade for any

    13 development or deployment currently using or targeting Django 1.2.

    14 

    15 For full details on the new features, backwards incompatibilities, and

    16 deprecated features in the 1.2 branch, see the :doc:`/releases/1.2`.

    18 One new feature

    19 ===============

    20 

    21 Ordinarily, a point release would not include new features, but in the

    22 case of Django 1.2.2, we have made an exception to this rule.

    23 

    24 In order to test a bug fix that forms part of the 1.2.2 release, it

    25 was necessary to add a feature -- the ``enforce_csrf_checks`` flag --

    26 to the :mod:`test client <django.test.client>`. This flag forces

    27 the test client to perform full CSRF checks on forms. The default

    28 behavior of the test client hasn't changed, but if you want to do

    29 CSRF checks with the test client, it is now possible to do so.
