= Feature Grouping =

This page was created as a way to collect tickets, wiki pages, etc. that have similar goals.  A ticket keyword just isn't enough sometimes.  Add a group, description, analysis, and/or links about a feature you are interested in.  If there is too much information about the feature to fit on this page, then create a wiki page dedicated to that feature and link to it here.

Please note that there is already a grouping of VersionOneFeatures.

== auto_now_add ==

All of these might be the same thing:

== Character encoding issues ==

Several tickets are mentioned in this mailing list thread:
[http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/4b71be8257d42faf/ unicode issues in multiple tickets (#952, #1356, #3370) and thread about Euro sign in django-users]

Tickets:
 * #3370, #1356, #952, #3370

=== Comments made by Michael in the above mailing list thread ===

The problem that started the original thread in django-users was that
the MySQLdb backend thought it was using latin-1 encoding for the
connection and therefore could not encode '€', which is in iso-8859-15
but not in iso-8859-1 aka iso-latin-1. Ticket #2896 seems to explain how
this can happen.

In my opinion, each of the three tickets in the subject should solve
this issue, and none tries to cope with templates written in a different
encoding than settings.DEFAULT_ENCODING.

#952 allows to use a different encoding on the connection than
settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET. It does it for all backends.

#1365 sets connection.charset in the mysql backend to utf8. This makes
the MySQLdb use utf8 encoding, but it's hackish and has been reported
not to work in all environments.

#3370 opens the mysql backend connection with charset='utf8', which
seems a cleaner way to do the same as #1365. It also fixes the __repr__
of models (not sure if this is the best way, but this can be added to
any of the other patches)

My bottom line is that #952 has a different scope than the other two
tickets, and that #1365 should be closed as duplicate of #3370. #3370
and #952 can co-exist.

I'm still working on a different proposal.


== Pagination ==

There are a few tickets aiming to add features to the Paginator class, and even a new implementation by Adrian in #1374.  There is also code for a PaginatorTag.

== Incorrect SQL construction ==

There are a bunch of these, so here's a placeholder for them. Many are already assigned to mtredinnick; the remainder should be. I'm working on a rewrite of the query creation portion of !QuerySets -- Malcolm.
