8.0.0

Some of the Notice-and-Comment functionality has been split into a separate Django app. This should significantly reduce the dependencies of down-stream applications which don't use that feature.

Warning of data loss

The "FailedCommentSubmission" model has moved from regulations to notice_comment without a corresponding data migration. If this data is important, please export it before running migrations. Alternatively, you may run only the notice_comment migrations, manually transfer the data, then run the regulations migrations.

Upgrade steps

If your app does not need Notice-and-Comment, no changes are needed.

If your app does include N&C, you will need to:

• Add regulations[notice_comment] as a Python requirement (rather than just regulations)
• Add notice_comment to your INSTALLED_APPS in the Django settings
• Mount the N&C urls either by directly including notice_comment.urls or by deferring to regulations.all_urls
• Migrate your database. Note the potential for data loss above!
