Changelog

The project follows the Semantic Versioning specification for its version numbers. Patch-level increments indicate bug fixes, minor version increments indicate new functionality and major version increments indicate backwards incompatible changes.

Version 1.0.0 is the last to support Django < 1.7. Users of older Django versions should stick to 1.0.0, and are encouraged to upgrade their setups. Starting with 2.0.0, dropping support for obsolete Django versions is not considered to be a backward-incompatible change.
