tests fail with Django 1.7 c2

[brianmay]

Hello,

As Django 1.7 is due to be released very soon now, this is an important issue.

This is tested with the latest release (2.3.14). The version in git appears to be ok, apart from some warnings.

# python ./rest_framework/runtests/runtests.py

System check identified some issues:

There's already a branch that solves this (https://github.com/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/tree/feature/django_guardian_cleanup). This will be merged this week end.

[brianmay]

Do you have any plans for a new release with this fix any time soon? If you do, I can fix the Debian package.

Thanks

@brianmay the kickstarter will end this week end. @tomchristie will correct me if I'm wrong but on top of the todo list is a release that is Django 1.7 compatible.

[tomchristie]

Releasing 2.3.14 is first on the list, yes. As a preparatory step for the real work.
So, assuming I get to start paid work time next week, then end of next week is the currently plan.
