Dependency changes
------------------

.. warning::

    Oscar depends on sorl-thumbnail 12.4a1. Unfortunately you have to 
    fake the initial migration of this application since older versions didn't
    include migrations. This can be done via::

        python manage.py migrate thumbnail --fake


The following packages are updated:
    - `sorl-thumbnail == 12.4a1` (Django 1.9 support)
    - `django-haystack >= 2.5.0` (Django 1.9 support)
    - `mock < 3.0`
    - `factory-boy > 2.4.1,< 3.0`
