 Note that existing code and message catalogs will not break even if you update your code to [5708] or later. This change only takes effect the next time you run make-messages.py.
+
+== Added `interactive` argument to `run_tests` ==
+
+In [5752] the parameter ``interactive`` was added to the run_tests method. This parameter allows tests to be added to automated build scripts where interactive questions (such as being asked if it is ok to delete an existing test database) cannot be asked. 
+
+If you are using the default Django test runner, no change is required.
+
+However, if you have defined a custom test runner, you must be able to accept (and handle appropriately) the `interactive` argument to the test runner. For most test runners, the only change required will be to change the call to `create_test_db` to use the keyword argument `autoclobber=not interactive`.
