  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`.
    
  17. 
    
  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 :ref:`test client <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.
