  • Added Coveralls support.

Backwards-incompatible changes in RapidSMS 0.18.0

  • Since Django 1.7 has it’s own migration framework, South is now deprecated. If you are still using Django < 1.7, you will need to upgrade South to version > 1.0, otherwise it will get confused by migration files which are meant for Django 1.7, not for South. (The migrations directories now contain Django 1.7 migrations. South migrations have been moved to a south_migrations directory, but older versions of South will not look in that directory.)
