    227 In [5516] a speed improvement was made for reverse URL lookups, particularly. Part of this involved caching information that was unlikely to change: the {{{urlpatterns()}}} contents.

    229230If you were somehow relying on the fact that you could change your {{{urls.py}}} files and not have to restart Django, you can no longer do that. Edits require a restart.

    235236If you were using non-ASCII data, Django would have behaved unreliably in some cases previously and so backwards-compatibility was neither completely possible nor desirable. However, some people may have been able to get by with non-ASCII data successfully. They might now experience some different errors to previously. Porting code to work correctly with non-ASCII data is fairly simple. Follow [http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/UnicodeBranch#PortingApplicationsTheQuickChecklist this checklist] for fastest results.

     238== Changed __init__() parameters in syndication framework's Feed class ==
     239
     240In [5654], we changed the {{{Feed}}} class' {{{__init__()}}} method to take an {{{HttpRequest}}} object as its second parameter, instead of the feed's URL. This allows the syndication framework to work without requiring the sites framework.
     241
     242This only affects people who have subclassed {{{Feed}}} and overridden the {{{__init__()}}} method, and people who have called {{{Feed.__init__()}}} directly from their own code. {{{Feed.__init__()}}} had not been documented.
