Upgrade from Version 4

Version 5 is a complete rewrite of the package to drastically reduce the code base and to ensure a future maintainability.

While we feature set remained unchanged, the API changed completely. Major changes:

• Fields have been removed in favor of widgets.
• All version 4 settings have been removed.
• Template tags have been removed.
• 3rd party javascript is served by a CDN.
• No more inline javascript code.

Upgrade can be done in 5 simple steps:

1. Remove all existing and to setup the new cache backend.
2. Remove the old template tags from your templates:
3. import_django_select2_js
4. import_django_select2_css
5. import_django_select2_js_css
6. Add form.media.css to the top and form.media.js to the bottom of your base template.
7. Upgrade to jQuery version 2, if you are still running version 1.
8. Replace old fields with new widgets.
