Hi,

I'm switching sites over to 1.3 at the moment and I only just discovered that my media files (the media_url ones, not the new static_url ones) aren't served anymore by the development server ("runserver").

The static files (static_url) *are* served automatically in DEBUG mode, which is a nice change from django 1.2 where I had to enable django-staticfiles' static file handling by hand.


Now... If I look in the 1.3 change notes and follow some pointers I end up at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/#django.conf.urls.static.static

There I see an "example for serving MEDIA_URL ('/media/') during development". That's mentioned basically as an aside. So it looks like I'm right that the DEBUG mode media_url handing is gone now.


Two questions:

- "Breaking" automatic media_url serving seems worthy of a real note in the 1.3 changelog. That note isn't there. Is this bad? Or am I missing something?

- Serving static_url automatically but omitting media_url is a bit strange if you ask me. Is this a bug?
