+== Moved settings into an instance ==
+
+'''Status: Done'''
+
+To make it easier to switch settings in situations where you would need multiple different settings - for example when trying to use multiple django projects within one server context or when using Django apps within a bigger WSGI scenario - the settings were moved out of a dedicated module {{{django.conf.settings}}} into an instance in the {{{django.conf}}} module. So now you need to import the {{{settings}}} object and reference settings as attributes of that instance.
+
+Wrappers around the Django machinery can make use of this by exchanging the settings instance with a proxy instance that delegates attribute access to a per-thread or per-location global.
