Does anyone know a good way to find out whether your Django packages will break or work fine? I am currently using these:

    django-registration
    django-secure

1. Check the docs and release history of the projects/apps; if they have not been updated prior to v1.3, it's likely to break with v1.4.

2. Run the test suite of the apps.

3. Run the apps with v1.4 and warnings turned on via:

   python -Wall manage.py runserver.

Not only will you quickly see what's broken, but Django will dump helpful deprecation warnings for things that will eventually break at some point.
