Catching up on checkins traffic, so a later checkin may already fix
this, but there should be a versionchanged tag in the docs to note
when the autojunk parameter was added.

Hi Nick,

Since autojunk was added in 2.7.1 (the docs of which do indicate this is the versionchanged tag), I think Terry may have left the tag in 3.2 out on purpose. That said, personally I don't know what the policy is regarding features added just in 3.2 and 2.7 (and didn't exist in 3.1) in this respect.

Catching up on checkins traffic, so a later checkin may already fix

this, but there should be a versionchanged tag in the docs to note

when the autojunk parameter was added.


Hi Nick,

Since autojunk was added in 2.7.1 (the docs of which do indicate this is the versionchanged tag), I think Terry may have left the tag in 3.2 out on purpose. That said, personally I don't know what the policy is regarding features added just in 3.2 and 2.7 (and didn't exist in 3.1) in this respect.
