💬 Subreply Nothing is wrong. You were logged out because the custom authentication backend was dropped. It was no longer needed. The update bring lots of changes under the hood too. Django's guidelines were followed wherever possible.

Mark Dain I seem to remember back in the old days being logged out used to be a sign that the software had been updated. Does dropping the current auth system mean when Sublevel is updated we'll start being logged out again?

💬 Subreply No. It seems that Django generates a different signature for cookies for each auth backend. You'll stay logged in as long as you don't delete that cookie or if you don't visit Sublevel in one year.
