Django status update: June 26

Hello everyone, and welcome back to our regularly-scheduled Django Status Reports. In the past, members of the development team took time out of their week to post these tidbits and as their schedules have become more hectic with Django itself, their day jobs, a book, and side projects, they've been unable to contribute as much as they'd like. Many people, myself included, felt that these posts added a lot of value to the Django community, so I offered up my services and here we are!

That's enough rambling—I'll get on with our updates for roughly the past 90 days or so:

Beyond the major news above, activity in the trunk this week was low. The changeset round up for this status report includes: [5516] — A patch committed by Malcolm Tredinnick that speeds up reverse URL matching by caching their results based on a patch by smoo.master@gmail.com. A minor note, this change is potentially backward incompatible, but shouldn’t cause any major issues. [5478] — The Django-gis branch, GeoDjango, received several GDAL related improvements. [5502] — Stefane Femgier submitted a patch that correctly sets the mime-type for admin media content, and was integrated into the trunk this week.



That's it for now, and please be aware that the next one of these should be significantly shorter. If you have any interesting Django-related news, projects, or announcements that you'd like to see here, please send a short note to clintecker@gmail.com.
