Django-photologue 2.4 released.

[Richard Barran]

Today I am very pleased to announce that django-photologue 2.4 is released and available for immediate download from the Python Package Index.

This release - the first in several years - marks a transition between maintainers, and also between repositories (Photologue is now hosted on Github).

The main goal of this release was to remove deprecated code (e.g. function-based generic views) so that Photologue will carry on working with future releases of Django. A secondary goal was to squash a number of easy bugs.

Here is a copy of the changelog; please note how you have to upgrade existing Photologue installations:

"""
Please note:

1. Starting with this version, Photologue uses South to manage the database schema.
If you are upgrading an existing Photologue installation, please follow the
South instructions at: http://south.readthedocs.org/en/latest/convertinganapp.html#converting-other-installations-and-servers

2. Photologue has dropped support for Django 1.2.

List of changes:

- use South to manage schema changes.
- updated installation instructions.
- fixed issue #9 (In Django 1.3, FileField no longer deletes files).
- switched from function-based generic views to class-based views.
- fixed PendingDeprecationWarnings seen when running Django 1.3 - this will make
  the move to Django 1.5 easier.
- added unit tests.
- fixed bug where GALLERY_SAMPLE_SIZE setting was not being used.
- fixed issue #11 (GalleryUpload with len(title) > 50 causes a crash).
- fixed issue #10 (Increase the size of the name field for photosize).

Bug reports are welcome; please post them on the Github repository https://github.com/jdriscoll/django-photologue, rather than the old Googlecode page.
