New Features & Fixes

Django 1.8 is supported (see #1175, #1165, #1162, #1137)
AppConfig is fully supported for Django 1.7+ (#1152)
During indexing, the process method can raise haystack.exceptions.SkipDocument to skip individual records which are not be easily excluded using index_queryset
ElasticSearch: distance queries and compatibility changes with the elasticsearch client library have been fixed
The new generic_views module uses the standard Django classes to replace the older views module
SearchQuerySet’s narrow() method now accepts SQ instances

Python 2.6 is no longer supported
Django 1.5 is no longer supported
The old class-based views which predated Django's CBVs have been deprecated in favor of the new generic_views module using the standard Django classes. See #1130.
Several undocumented spatial search methods have been removed: SearchQuerySet.order_by_distance(), and the add_spatial() and add_order_by_distance() methods on SolrSearchQuery or ElasticsearchSearchQuery. The standard order_by('distance') and other spatial query methods in the documentation are unaffected.
The old haystack.utils.method_decorator has been removed since all supported versions of Django have django.utils.decorator.method_decorator.
