+  framework.  Django 1.9 provides pluggable password validation support,
+  stricter template syntax (which prevents some common mistakes), simplified
+  call syntax for some common API calls, better database consistency checks
+  when creating many-to-many key relationship (preventing references to
+  nonexistent entries), and more [a].  A full diff of the upgrade changes is
+  available in changeset [12764].
