Add upgrade docs #173

Closed Osmose closed 10 years ago

Osmose commented 11 years ago

We should really have some docs explaining how to upgrade to the latest django-browserid since the last version bump was a huge change.

More importantly, we should mention this django bug: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/18998

Upgrading includes changing the name of the authentication backend, which causes nasty tracebacks for users with existing sessions. A recommendation to clear all sessions might be useful to note.

Alternatively, according to @Sancus , changing the cookie name works too.

9 months ago I thought upgrading meant changing the authentication backend name, now I cannot find any hint of that being the case. Unless someone can find where this happened, let's just reduce this issue to including upgrade docs.
