``TestCase`` data setup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:class:`~django.test.TestCase` has been refactored to allow for data
initialization at the class level using transactions and savepoints. Database
backends which do not support transactions, like MySQL with the MyISAM storage
engine, will still be able to run these tests but won't benefit from the
improvements. Tests are now run within two nested
:func:`~django.db.transaction.atomic()` blocks: one for the whole class and one
for each test.
* The class method
:meth:`TestCase.setUpTestData() <django.test.TestCase.setUpTestData>` adds
the ability to setup test data at the class level. Using this technique can
speed up the tests as compared to using ``setUp()``.
* Fixture loading within ``TestCase`` is now performed once for the whole
``TestCase``.

* The :func:`~django.test.override_settings` decorator can now affect the

this technique can speed up the tests as compared to using ``setUp()``.
* Added test client support for file uploads with file-like objects.
