Comment (by akaariai):
I still think there is problem. If you installed admin by the docs of 1.3:
{{{
Add 'django.contrib.admin' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
The admin has four dependencies - django.contrib.auth,
django.contrib.contenttypes,
django.contrib.messages and django.contrib.sessions. If these
applications are not in your INSTALLED_APPS list, add them.
Determine which of your application’s models should be editable in the
admin interface.
For each of those models, optionally create a ModelAdmin class that
encapsulates the customized admin
functionality and options for that particular model.
Instantiate an AdminSite and tell it about each of your models and
ModelAdmin classes.
Hook the AdminSite instance into your URLconf.
}}}
I think you will get a non-functioning site in 1.4. 1.4 docs has this
addition, and it is not mentioned in release notes.
{{{
Add django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages to
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS and MessageMiddleware to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.
(These are both active by default, so you only need to do this if
you’ve manually tweaked the settings.)
}}}
Of course, the proper test is to install Django + admin using 1.3 docs,
upgrade to 1.4 using release notes and see if the admin still works. I
haven't done that, but the above suggests there could be a problem.
Note that I am not saying that the dependency should be removed, just that
the release notes should mention this.
