1.0 conversion guide doesn't mention url prefix change in attaching .js files to admin views

[syphoon]

In 0.96, if you wanted to attach a Javascript file to an admin view, you would do so by adding a "js" property to an inner Admin class on the model class. The corresponding behaviour with the new admin forms is to add an inner Media class to the right Admin object with a "js" property. The former would prefix the .js URL with ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX. The latter uses MEDIA_URL. Given we just got bitten by this while doing a 0.96->1.0 conversion it could probably stand to be added to the conversion guide.

#7129/[7873] is where this difference was noticed/documented. Looking at the guide, I'm not sure where note of this would go. The guide calls out only the most significant changes and points to the branch page for details. The branch page does call out the change in the discussion here:

Given someone's reported tripping over it, it might be worth trying to make the info more prominent, but I'll leave that decision to someone more closely involved with the guide.

This ticket is over two years old... even 1.0 is pretty thoroughly deprecated now, let alone 0.96.

There's no patch, no activity on the ticket, and no one else has chimed in as having been affected by it. I'm going to close this... If anyone objects, feel free to reopen it.
