Support for Django 1.7 about django-sortedm2m HOT 8 CLOSED

I'm updating for 1.7 at the moment; issue is Django does this sort of dynamic manager creation for m2m relationships instead of using an interface hierarchy for some reason, and it looks like sortedm2m had no choice but to monkey patch around it. Of course the perils of monkey patching is that you're not using the API and have to update with each release.

I guess there's a larger architectural decision about supporting South moving forward as well.. is it redundant now in favor of the native in 1.7, etc? @gregmuellegger you got any thoughts on that?

I created a django1.7 branch that we can use for further development.

The first change was to break out the south support tests. They are only run now for Django 1.6
The plan is to only support south for django 1.6 and below.
From django 1.7 on, we only support the django migrations framework.

The next change was to try to make the tests work with django 1.7. I had partial success in not failing with an error, but the tests are still failing, because the order of the sortedm2m relation is not kept... I need to have another look at some point to find the reason for this.

Or if someone else wants to give it a shot, feel free :)

Ok the branch passes all tests now for Django 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7.
However we still need support for the new migration framework.

Migrations support is here. Hooray! \o/
Please checkout the current master and try to use and abuse it in any way you want and report back bugs you find along the way.

Cheers :)

I just released 0.8.0: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-sortedm2m/0.8.0 which supports Django 1.7 and the new style migrations.
