Revert GH-130, restoring ability to access FieldTracker changes in overridden save methods or post_save handlers. This reopens GH-83 (inability to pickle models with FieldTracker ) until a solution can be found that doesn’t break behavior otherwise. Thanks Brian May for the report. Fixes GH-143.

ASCII-fold all non-ASCII characters in changelog; again. Argh. Apologies to those whose names are mangled by this change.

ASCII-fold all non-ASCII characters in changelog. Apologies to those whose names are mangled by this change.

Thanks Simone Dalla for the report. Fixes GH-113.

Added InheritanceManagerMixin , InheritanceQuerySetMixin , PassThroughManagerMixin , and QueryManagerMixin to allow composing their functionality with other custom manager/queryset subclasses (e.g. those in GeoDjango). Thanks Douglas Meehan!

BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE: Indexing into a Choices instance now translates database representations to human-readable choice names, rather than simply indexing into an array of choice tuples. (Indexing into Choices was previously not documented.) If you have code that is relying on indexing or slicing Choices , the simplest workaround is to change e.g. STATUS[1:] to list(STATUS)[1:] .

Fixed bug with checking for field name conflicts for added query managers on StatusModel .

Can pass choices_name to StatusField to use a different name for choices class attribute. STATUS is used by default.

Can pass model subclasses, rather than strings, into select_subclasses() . Thanks Keryn Knight. Merge of GH-79.

Choices now accepts option-groupings. Fixes GH-14.

Choices can now be added to other Choices or to any iterable, and can be compared for equality with itself. Thanks Tony Aldridge. (Merge of GH-76.)

Choices now __contains__ its Python identifier values. Thanks Keryn Knight. (Merge of GH-69).

Fixed a bug causing KeyError when saving with the parameter update_fields in which there are untracked fields. Thanks Mikhail Silonov. (Merge of GH-70, fixes GH-71).

Dropped support for Python 2.5 and Django 1.1. Both are no longer supported even for security fixes, and should not be used.

Fixed issue #6, bug with InheritanceManager and descriptor fields (e.g. FileField). Thanks zyegfryed for the fix and sayane for tests.

updated SplitField to define get_prep_value rather than get_db_prep_value. This avoids deprecation warnings on Django trunk/1.3, but makes SplitField incompatible with Django versions prior to 1.2.

added InheritanceManager, a better approach to selecting subclass instances for Django 1.2+. Thanks Jeff Elmore.
