django-allauth 0.5.0 released

Posted by Raymond Penners on 2012-06-08

Note worthy changes

account: Added setting ACCOUNT_PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH for specifying the minimum password length.
socialaccount: Added generic OAuth2 support. Added GitHub support as proof of concept.
socialaccount: More refactoring: generic provider & OAuth consumer approach. Added LinkedIn support to test this approach.
socialaccount: Introduced generic models for storing social apps, accounts and tokens in a central and consistent manner, making way for adding support for more account providers. Note: there is more refactoring to be done -- this first step only focuses on the database models.
account: Email confirmation mails are now automatically resent whenever a user attempts to login with an unverified email address (if ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION=True).

Upgrade your settings.INSTALLED_APPS: Replace allauth.<provider> (where provider is one of twitter, facebook or openid) with allauth.socialaccount.providers.<provider>
All provider related models (FacebookAccount, FacebookApp, TwitterAccount, TwitterApp, OpenIDAccount) have been unified into generic SocialApp and SocialAccount models. South migrations are in place to move the data over to the new models, after which the original tables are dropped. Therefore, be sure to run migrate using South.
