where to "listen" for backwards incompatible changes in trunk?

[Bram - Smartelectronix]

hey guys,

just lost a about an hour trying to figure out why some stuff stopped
working when we noticed someone had done an update of django on our test
server :-)

Anyway, where do I "listen" to backwards incompatible changes? Is there
an RSS feed? Is there a mailinglist (django dev??)?

If anyone has breakage with the newforms: it's now

form.cleaned_data
and
form.do_clean_*

Watch this wiki page:

http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/BackwardsIncompatibleChanges

You should be keeping an eye on this wiki page if you are using the
absolutely latest subversion code:
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/BackwardsIncompatibleChanges

There is no RSS feed on a per-page level in the wiki, but if you wanted
that you could subscribe to a feed for just the wiki page changes on the
timeline page (you can configure which changes you want to receive from
the timeline page) and then use something like Yahoo pipes to extract
out the information you wanted from that feed.

Django developers generally include the "backwards incompatible" words in the
relevant SVN commint comments. You could try bookmarking this canned search
in the Trac timeline:

http://code.djangoproject.com/search?q=backwards+incompatible&noquickjump=1&changeset=on

(no RSS feed though)

For anyone who is interested, I built a pipe for this. You can find it
here:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=HsTZGAkD3BG7VhBkl7okhQ

I could create a few more if other's think they'll be used. Just tell
me what pages you think are important to follow.
