NewAdminChanges

@@ +1 @@
+The new admin branch contains a number of changes. 
+
+'''Manipulators'''
+
+Manipulators have a new optional argument to their constructors, follow. 
+The argument is a dictionary indicating which fields and related objects 
+to extract in flatten_data and examine when saving the object. 
+The default set to follow is 
+* Any fields without editable=False
+* Any related objects with edit_inline set on the ForeignKey relating to the class the manipulator is concerned with. 
+This is the set of fields shown by the admin. 
+
+insert example
+
+
+manipulators have a new method, flatten_data(). 
+This takes the data from the existing object (or the defaults in the case of an AddManipulator) and turns it into a suitable form for an HTTP post. 
+It must be called before creating the formfield wrapper is created. 
+
+The data from a post must have 
+manipulator.do_html2python(new_data)
+
+called on it before it is used to repopulate a formfieldwrapper. 
+
+insert example

+Improved error reporting when debug is on. See #603.  Also note that loaders must return a tuple of (source, filename) rather than just the source of a loaded template.

+"""Admin converted to separate templates"""
