0.2.0

• Django 1.6 support.

  Django 1.6 broke backwards compatibility of the password_reset_confirm view. Be sure to update any references to this URL. Rather than using a separate view for each encoding, authtools uses a single view that works with both.

• Bugfix: if LOGIN_URL was a URL name, it wasn’t being reversed in the PasswordResetConfirmView.

0.1.2 (released July 01, 2013)

• Use prefetch_related in the UserChangeForm to avoid doing hundreds of ContentType queries. The form from Django has the same feature, it wasn’t copied over correctly in our original form.

0.1.1 (released May 30, 2013)

• some bugfixes:

• Call UserManager.normalize_email on an instance, not a class.

• authtools.models.User should inherit its parent’s Meta.
