Notes about snapshot

Quick hint about snapshot. If you have many snapshots in your project and you need to change many with a code change, then you can run the tests without a snapshot change leading to an error, by set RAISE_SNAPSHOT_ERRORS=0 in your environment.

e.g.:

RAISE_SNAPSHOT_ERRORS=0 python3 -m unittest

Renew all snapshot files with:

make update-test-snapshot-files

Backwards-incompatible changes

v36 -> v37 - Outsourcing Django stuff

We split bx_py_utils and moved all Django related utilities into the separated project:

• https://github.com/boxine/bx_django_utils

So, bx_py_utils is better usable in non-Django projects, because Django will not installed as decency of "bx_py_utils"
