Matt Westcott 197d85ce9f Disable client-side validation on Django 1.10 for multipart forms
Client-side validation fails on forms with prefilled file upload fields -
see https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27037. This is fixed in Django 1.10.1,
so as a workaround we disable client-side validation (using the 'novalidate'
attribute) for forms with enctype="multipart/form-data" on Django 1.10 only.

Fixes #2897

What's new
==========
Django 1.10 support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wagtail is now compatible with Django 1.10. Thanks to Mikalai Radchuk and Paul J Stevens for developing this, and to Tim Graham for reviewing and additional Django core assistance.
``{% include_block %}`` tag for improved StreamField template inclusion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In previous releases, the standard way of rendering the HTML content of a StreamField was through a simple variable template tag, such as ``{{ page.body }}``. This had the drawback that any templates used in the StreamField rendering would not inherit variables from the parent template's context, such as ``page`` and ``request``. To address this, a new template tag ``{% include_block page.body %}`` has been introduced as the new recommended way of outputting Streamfield content - this replicates the behaviour of Django's ``{% include %}`` tag, passing on the full template context by default. For full documentation, see :ref:`streamfield_template_rendering`. This feature was developed by Matt Westcott, and additionally ported to Jinja2 (see: :doc:`/advanced_topics/jinja2`) by Mikalai Radchuk.
Unicode page slugs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Page URL slugs can now contain Unicode characters, when using Django 1.9 or above. This feature was developed by Behzad Nategh.
Permission-limited explorer menu
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The explorer sidebar menu now limits the displayed pages to the ones the logged-in user has permission for. For example, if a user has permission over the pages MegaCorp / Departments / Finance and MegaCorp / Departments / HR, then their menu will begin at "Departments". This reduces the amount of "drilling-down" the user has to do, and is an initial step towards supporting fully independent sites on the same Wagtail installation. This feature was developed by Matt Westcott and Robert Rollins, California Institute of Technology.

Upgrade considerations
======================
Form builder ``FormField`` models require a migration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are some changes in the ``wagtailforms.models.AbstractFormField`` model:
* The ``choices`` field has been changed from a ``CharField`` to a ``TextField``, to allow it to be of unlimited length;
* The help text for the ``to_address`` field has been changed: it now gives more information on how to specify multiple addresses.
These changes require migration. If you are using the ``wagtailforms`` module in your project, you will need to run ``python manage.py makemigrations`` and ``python manage.py migrate`` after upgrading, in order to apply changes to your form page models.
``TagSearchable`` needs removing from custom image / document model migrations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mixin class ``wagtail.wagtailadmin.taggable.TagSearchable``, used internally by image and document models, has been deprecated. If you are using custom image or document models in your project, the migration(s) which created them will contain frozen references to ``wagtail.wagtailadmin.taggable.TagSearchable``, which must now be removed. The line:
.. code-block:: python
import wagtail.wagtailadmin.taggable
should be replaced by:
.. code-block:: python
import wagtail.wagtailsearch.index
and the line:
.. code-block:: python
bases=(models.Model, wagtail.wagtailadmin.taggable.TagSearchable),
should be updated to:
.. code-block:: python
bases=(models.Model, wagtail.wagtailsearch.index.Indexed),
``render`` and ``render_basic`` methods on StreamField blocks now accept a ``context`` keyword argument
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``render`` and ``render_basic`` methods on ``wagtail.wagtailcore.blocks.Block`` have been updated to accept an optional ``context`` keyword argument, a template context to use when rendering the block. If you have defined any custom StreamField blocks that override either of these methods, the method signature now needs to be updated to include this keyword argument:
.. code-block:: python
class MyBlock(Block):
def render(self, value):
...
def render_basic(self, value):
...
should now become:
.. code-block:: python
class MyBlock(Block):
def render(self, value, context=None):
...
def render_basic(self, value, context=None):
...
