Upgrade from 1.x.x
To upgrade to v2, please enjoy the v1 to v2 upgrade instructions (documented with love !).
the Autocomplete class design hasn’t changed at all.
yourlabsWidget() doesn’t parses data-* options the same,
the django/form python code has been re-organised ie. get_widgets_dict() is gone and autocomplete_light.ModelForm wraps around all features by default.
use autocomplete_light.ModelForm instead of autocomplete_light.GenericModelForm - generic foreign keys and django-generic-m2m are supported by default if installed.
