Backwards-incompatible changes
Changes since the 0.96 release
==============================

This release contains fixes for a security vulnerability discovered after the
initial release of Django 0.96. A bug in the i18n framework could allow an
attacker to send extremely large strings in the Accept-Language header and
cause a denial of service by filling available memory.

Because this problems wasn't discovered and fixed until after the 0.96
release, it's recommended that you use this release rather than the original
0.96.
