 It used to be set in the mod_python and wsgi handlers. You will need to add {{{"django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware"}}} somewhere '''after''' {{{"django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware"}}} in {{{MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES}}} in your settings.py file. Otherwise accessing {{{request.user}}} will raise an {{{AttributeError}}}.
 
+=== Authentication has been consolidated ===
+
+Previously, pieces of the authentication system resided in at least 4 different places. Everything has now been consolidated into {{{django.contrib.auth}}} as follows:
+
+ * {{{django.parts.auth.formfields.AuthenticationForm}}} has moved to {{{django.contrib.auth.forms}}}
+ * {{{django.parts.auth.anonymoususers.AnonymousUser}}} has moved to {{{django.contrib.auth.models}}}
+
+ * {{{django.views.auth.login.*}}} has moved to {{{django.contrib.auth.views}}}
+ * {{{django.views.decorators.auth.*}}} has moved to {{{django.contrib.auth.decorators}}}
+
+ * {{{django.views.registration.passwords.PasswordResetForm}}} has moved to {{{django.contrib.auth.forms}}}
+ * {{{django.views.registration.passwords.PasswordChangeForm}}} has moved to {{{django.contrib.auth.forms}}}
+
+ * {{{django.views.registration.passwords.password_reset}}} has moved to {{{django.contrib.auth.views}}}
+ * {{{django.views.registration.passwords.password_reset_done}}} has moved to {{{django.contrib.auth.views}}}
+ * {{{django.views.registration.passwords.password_change}}} has moved to {{{django.contrib.auth.views}}}
+ * {{{django.views.registration.passwords.password_change_done}}} has moved to {{{django.contrib.auth.views}}}
+
+If you are using any of these classes or functions, you will need to update your code accordingly.
