# django-watson changelog

## 1.5.0 - 21/12/2017

- Added `--slim` option to `buildwatson` command. This only includes
  objects which satisfy the filter specified during model registration
  (Dustin Broderick).
- Added `--batch-size` option to `buildwatson` command. This controls the
  batch size for bulk-inserting search entries (Dustin Broderick).
- Added `--non-atomic` option to `buildwatson` command. This removes the
  transaction wrapper from `buildwatson`, which can prevent timeouts on
  huge datasets for some server setups.

## 1.2.0 - 03/12/2015

- **Breaking:** Updated the location of [search](https://github.com/etianen/django-watson/wiki/Searching-models) and
    [registration](https://github.com/etianen/django-watson/wiki/Registering-models) methods.
    Prior to this change, you could access the these methjods using the following import:

    ```py
    # Old-style import for accessing the search and registration methods.
    import watson

    # Use register and search methods from the watson namespace.
    watson.register(YourModel)
    watson.search("foo")
    ```

    In order to support Django 1.9, the search and registration
    methods have been moved to the following import:

    ```py
    # New-style import for accesssing the search and registration methods.
    from watson import search as watson

    # Use register and search methods from the watson namespace.
    watson.register(YourModel)
    watson.search("foo")
    ```

- **Breaking:** Updated the location of [admin classes](https://github.com/etianen/django-watson/wiki/Admin-integration).

    Prior to this change, you could access the `SearchAdmin` class using the following import:

    ```py
    # Old-style import for accessing the admin class.
    import watson

    # Access admin class from the watson namespace.
    class YourModelAdmin(watson.SearchAdmin):
        ...
    ```

    In order to support Django 1.9, the admin class has been moved to the following
    import:

    ```py
    # New-style import for accesssing admin class.
    from watson.admin import SearchAdmin

    # Use the admin class directly.
    class YourModelAdmin(SearchAdmin):
        ...
