Upgrading to Django 1.5

Posted: 2013-09-25 08:21 | More posts about python django

In the process of upgrading our apps to Django 1.5 from 1.4. Discovered the following so far:-

URLField drop verify_exists parameter.
New url tag syntax - we seem to use the old syntax a lot, fortunately one line sed can fix it.
Django form output changed a bit - we have test that check for output like <input id="id_em" type="text" name="em". This has changed to <input id="id_em" name="em" size="25" type="text". Can't find reference to this though.
settings.ALLOWED_HOST now required if DEBUG = False. Without this settings, you'll get 500 error without further output in the error log.

Of course the list of changes lot more but these were the one that affected us.
