Comment (by akaariai): OK, I tested upgrading from 1.3 to 1.4. In fact, things do work with the 1.3 default settings and admin installation according to docs. The problem is if you have for some reason removed the !MessageMiddleware from the default settings (or, maybe you are upgrading from 1.x -> 1.3 -> 1.4). In that case you will not get any warnings in 1.3, and in 1.4 things will not work. So, the problem is that in 1.3 !MessageMiddleware was not required, in 1.4 it is and the release notes (or 1.3 warnings) do not mention this. 1.3 docs do not mention that !MessageMiddleware is required. A note "make sure !MessageMiddleware is in the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES" should be in release notes. As this is a rare situation, and the error message is clear enough when you hit it, I don't think anything more needs to be done. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/18018#comment:10> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
