v0.8.1 — HTML Email Preview + MySQL bulk_create fix

What's New

HTML Email Preview (#14)

Emails sent via EmailMultiAlternatives now show a Plain text / HTML preview tab switcher in the dashboard detail
panel. The HTML body renders in a sandboxed <iframe> — no external scripts, safe to use in any environment.

• Plain-text-only emails (EmailMessage) are unaffected
• HTML body capped at 100 KB during capture

BULK_CREATE_BATCH_SIZE config key (#19)

Fixes OperationalError: (2006, 'Server has gone away') on MySQL when a single request triggers a very large number
of SQL queries, exceeding max_allowed_packet.

ORBIT_CONFIG = {
    "BULK_CREATE_BATCH_SIZE": 500,  # None = original behaviour (default)
}

Setting this splits the internal bulk_create into batches. None keeps the original single-INSERT behaviour — no change
 needed if you're not on MySQL or not hitting this error.

Install

pip install django-orbit==0.8.1
