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

**Major changes**

* added tests infrastructure, code coverage is around 70%;
* import paths and class names are changed. Old class names and paths are
deprecated but still work;
* ``dashboard.modules.AppList``, ``dashboard.modules.ModelList`` and
``menu.items.AppList`` now have ability to display any models from different
apps (using glob syntax) via ``models`` and ``exclude`` parameters.
The order is now preserved. See 15;
* implemented dashboard module groups : you can now group modules in tabs,
accordion or in a stacked layout.

**Bugfixes and minor change**

* moved the menu and dashboard template dirs in a "admin_tools" directory to
avoid name conflicts with other apps, for example: django-cms
(see: http://github.com/digi604/django-cms-2.0/issues/issue/397/);
* fixed bookmark bugs. The saved url was urlencoded, so we need to decode it
before we save it. Added a clean_url method to the ``BookmarkForm``.
Fixes 25;
* build urlpatterns conditionally regarding the content of ``INSTALLED_APPS``;
* better display of selected menu items;
* avoid a useless ajax GET request for retrieving dashboard preferences;
* upgraded jquery and jquery ui and renamed the files to more generic names;
* don't show bookmark form if ``NoReverseError``. This was breaking the
``django.contrib.auth`` unit tests;
* fixed url lookup for remove bookmark form;
* fixed issue 26 (menu bar showing for non-staff users) and also updated
templates to match the django 1.2 templates;
* fixed issue 29 : Django 1.2 admin base template change;
* changed the way js files are loaded, hopefully now they are loaded
syncronously (fixes issue 32);
* fixed issue 33: empty applist menu items should not be displayed;
* fixed issue 34: can't drag modules into an empty column;
* fixed issue 35 (wrong docstring for menu).

**New class names and paths**

***admin_tools.dashboard***

- admin_tools.dashboard.models.Dashboard => admin_tools.dashboard.Dashboard
- admin_tools.dashboard.models.DefaultIndexDashboard => admin_tools.dashboard.DefaultIndexDashboard
- admin_tools.dashboard.models.DefaultAppIndexDashboard => admin_tools.dashboard.DefaultAppIndexDashboard
- admin_tools.dashboard.models.AppIndexDashboard => admin_tools.dashboard.AppIndexDashboard
- admin_tools.dashboard.models.DashboardModule => admin_tools.dashboard.modules.DashboardModule
- admin_tools.dashboard.models.AppListDashboardModule => admin_tools.dashboard.modules.AppList
- admin_tools.dashboard.models.ModelListDashboardModule => admin_tools.dashboard.modules.ModelList
- admin_tools.dashboard.models.LinkListDashboardModule => admin_tools.dashboard.modules.LinkList
- admin_tools.dashboard.models.FeedDashboardModule => admin_tools.dashboard.modules.Feed

***admin_tools.menu***

- admin_tools.menu.models.Menu => admin_tools.menu.Menu
- admin_tools.menu.models.DefaultMenu => admin_tools.menu.DefaultMenu
- admin_tools.menu.models.MenuItem => admin_tools.menu.items.MenuItem
- admin_tools.menu.models.AppListMenuItem => admin_tools.menu.items.AppList
- admin_tools.menu.models.BookmarkMenuItem => admin_tools.menu.items.Bookmarks

Now, django-admin-tools stores menu and dashboard preferences in the database,
so you'll need to run syncdb and to add the django-admin-tools urls to your
urlconf. These steps are described in details in the documentation.
You'll also need to add ``admin_tools`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` for the
locales to work (this was not documented in previous versions).
