Fixed #8911 -- Several corrections for the 1.0 porting documentation, thanks arien.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rename your ``maxlength`` argument to ``max_length`` (this was changed to be

consistant with form fields):

consistent with form fields):

Replace ``__str__`` with ``__unicode__``

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    import datetime

    class Article(models.Model):

        title = models.CharField(maxlength=100)

        title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

        published = models.DateField(default=datetime.datetime.now)

``DecimalField`` is new, and ``FloatField`` is now a proper float

     this procedure for any of the standard Django models.

If something goes wrong in the above process, just copy your backed up

database file over the top of the original file and start again.

Internationalization

--------------------

``Feed.__init__`` has changed

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ``__init__()`` parameters in the syndication framework's ``Feed`` class now

take an ``HttpRequest`` object as its second parameter, instead of the feed's

The ``__init__()`` method of the syndication framework's ``Feed`` class now

takes 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. This only affects code that subclass ``Feed`` and overrides the

framework. This only affects code that subclasses ``Feed`` and overrides the

``__init__()`` method, and code that calls ``Feed.__init__()`` directly.

Data structures

``SortedDictFromList`` is gone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`django.newforms.forms.SortedDictFromList`` was removed.

:class:`django.utils.datastructures.SortedDict`` can now be instantiated with

``django.newforms.forms.SortedDictFromList`` was removed.

:class:`django.utils.datastructures.SortedDict` can now be instantiated with

a sequence of tuples.

To update your code:

     1. Use :class:`django.utils.datastructures.SortedDict` wherever you were

        using ``django.newforms.forms.SortedDictFromList``.

     2. Because :meth:`django.utils.datastructures.SortedDict.copy` returns a

        deepcopy as ``SortedDictFromList`` method did, you will need to update

        your code if you were relying on a deepcopy. Do this by using

     2. Because :meth:`django.utils.datastructures.SortedDict.copy` doesn't

        return a deepcopy as ``SortedDictFromList.copy()`` did, you will need

        to update your code if you were relying on a deepcopy. Do this by using

        ``copy.deepcopy`` directly.
