Edited docs/releases/1.5.txt

This change should affect only a small number of Django users, as most

operating-system vendors today are shipping Python 2.6 or newer as their default

version. If you're still using Python 2.5, however, you'll need to stick to

Django 1.4 until you can upgrade. Per :doc:`our support policy

</internals/release-process>`, Django 1.4 will continue to receive security

support until the release of Django 1.6.

As Jython does currently not offer any version compatible with Python 2.6,

Django 1.5 does not run on Jython.

``django.utils.simplejson``

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

Since Django 1.5 drops support for Python 2.5, all supported versions of

Python provide the :mod:`json` module in their standard library. This module

is actually a version of ``simplejson`` distributed by Python, so Django no

longer needs to provide a copy. Any use of :mod:`django.utils.simplejson` can

be safely changed to :mod:`json`.

Since Django 1.5 drops support for Python 2.5, we can now rely on the

:mod:`json` module being in Python's standard library -- so we've removed

our own copy of ``simplejson``. You can safely change any use of

:mod:`django.utils.simplejson` to :mod:`json`.

``itercompat.product``

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

The :func:`~django.utils.itercompat.product` function has been deprecated. Use

the builtin `itertools.product` instead.
