 [8223] refactored signals and {{{django.dispatch}}} with an eye towards speed. The net result was up to a 90% improvement in the speed of signal handling, but along the way some backwards-incompatible changes were made:
 
- * All signals now must be declared as accepting {{{**kwargs}}}.
+ * All handlers now must be declared as accepting {{{**kwargs}}}.
  * Signals are now instances of {{{django.dispatch.Signal}}} instead of anonymous objects.
  * Connecting, disconnecting, and sending signals are done via methods on the {{{Signal}}} object instead of through module methods in {{{django.dispatch.dispatcher}}}. The module-level methods are deprecated.
