Hi all, I've just done some testing of 1.7 against my 'day job' code base. The good news is that everything has pretty much worked out of the box without any problems.
However, I did find one regression, which I've opened as #22915 [1]. Full details are on the ticket; the short version is that the API for Validation.update_error_dict() has changed in very subtle way. The change was introduced by [2], which introduced Form.add_error() [3]. The catch here is that ValidationError is definitely stable API, but update_error_dict isn't documented - so it isn't clear to me whether this should be considered a regression in a stable API that must be fixed, or a "backwards compatibility gotcha" that is worth some documentation, but not a code change. I caught the problem running the test suite for my "day job app". I'm doing some moderately complex form error handling, and in the `clean()` method for a form, I'm raising an error against a specific field on the field. This appears to be the exact use case that the `Form.add_error()` API is designed to satisfy, so the regression has been introduced by adding a formal API for something that people (including myself) would have been doing previously in an ad-hoc fashion. The question here is whether we need to continue to support the ad-hoc usage in a backwards compatible way. Thoughts? Yours, Russ Magee %-) [1] https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22915 [2] https://github.com/django/django/commit/f563c339ca2eed81706ab17726c79a6f00d7c553 [3] https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20867 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
