    4 All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at 
    5 http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/.  If you're just getting started, 
    6 here's how we recommend you read the docs: 
    74 
    8     * First, read docs/install.txt for instructions on installing Django. 
     5About this version 
     6================== 
    97 
    10     * Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/tutorial01.txt, 
    11       docs/tutorial02.txt, etc.). 
     8This is the Django 0.90 "bugfixes" branch, which is intended to 
     9provide bugfix and patch support for users of Django 0.90 who have not 
     10been able to migrate to a more recent version. No new features will be 
     11added in this branch, and it is maintained solely as a means of 
     12providing support to legacy Django installations. 
    1213 
    13     * If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read docs/modpython.txt 
    14       for instructions on running Django under mod_python. 
     14If you're completely new to Django we highly recommend that you use 
     15either the latest stable release or a Subversion checkout from 
     16Django's trunk; Django is always evolving, and the latest and greatest 
     17features are only available to users of newer versions of the 
     18framework. 
    1519 
    16     * The rest of the documentation is of the reference-manual variety. 
    17       Read it -- and the FAQ -- as you run into problems. 
    1820 
    19 Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they 
    20 should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket 
    21 here:
