django-registration 0.5

June 5, 2008    Django, Meta

Just a quick note: I’ve bumped django-registration to version 0.5. New in this version are Italian and Serbian translations, registration at the Cheese Shop (so you can now do easy_install django-registration) and a few bugfixes.

Notes you might care about:

• Built-in forms now use lazy translations.
• Activation now resets the activation key to a dummy string, which prevents re-activation of users you’ve manually deactivated.
• The register view will pass any uploaded files from request.FILES to the registration form.
• Username/email uniqueness checks are now, by popular demand, case-insensitive.

Also: I’m considering taking my own advice (from both my PyCon talk and my book) and adding an extra_context argument to the register and activate views, similar to what Django’s generic views already offer. If you think that’d be a good idea, swing by the issue tracker and add a star to this issue. If it looks like a popular option, I’ll add that in the next release.
