+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**New in Django development version**
+
+    * Default widget: ``Select``
+    * Empty value: ``None``
+    * Normalizes to: A unicode object
+    * Validates that the selected choice exists in the list of choices.
+    * Error message keys: ``required``, ``invalid_choice``
+
+The choices are generated from the filesystem.  They can be forced to match a specific regulat expression(this only matches the file, not the entire path).  It can also be recursive.
