#5536: "different than" is poor English

 In the SVN version of the documentation (for example
 http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/) the top header reads:

  * These docs are for Django's SVN release, which can be significantly
 different than previous releases.

 ''Different than'' is poor, Americanised, English. The correct wording
 should be:

  * These docs are for Django's SVN release, which can be significantly
 different from previous releases.

 A quick Google search shows that ''different than'' is frowned upon:

 http://www.google.com/search?q=different+than

 I have attached a patch for the current SVN version to fix this
 grammatical error.
