Hi, I was trying my project on django 1.5 alpha and a change on TemplateViews made some code break. The `get` method changed how `get_context_data` is called from (**kwargs)to (params=kwargs). Link: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/views/generic/base.py
I traced the change and found a ticket saying the TemplateView could not be used with FormView because the get_context_data is in a different layout. Ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16074 I don't know how popular are classed based views among other django developers, but I only use them. So, this change could be added in the release notes to warn people about breaking some code. For me, I had the habit of writing: With e.g. this url: url(r'^ref/(?P<id>\d+?)/?$', views.ref.Show.as_view()) def get_context_data(self, id, **kw): pass #do something with id Now, the only way I find to keep the code compatible with both 1.4 and 1.5 is doing: def get_context_data(self, **kw): id = kw.get('params', kw)['id'] which is just a little bit more code but could crash in django 1.4 if somehow there's a "params" argument Could this be avoided?
