* Switch from the deprecated `STATICFILES_STORAGE` Django config option to `STORAGES` * Add `whitenoise.runserver_nostatic` to `INSTALLED_APPS` so that WhiteNoise's runserver implementation is used instead of Django's default implementation, for improved dev-prod parity * Enable `WHITENOISE_KEEP_ONLY_HASHED_FILES`, which means the original (un-hashed filename) copy of static assets are no longer unnecessarily stored in the slug. (This does mean all Django templates must use the `static` processor for asset URLs, but all of the templates in this guide do that already.) * Use the `brotli` WhiteNoise package extra, so that the Brotli package ends up being installed, so that static assets can also be served using the more efficient Brotli compression (for browsers that support it, which is all modern browsers), and not just GZip.
