-Django 1.11
-============
-Due to a change with Django 1.11 where they deprecated the `django.contrib.auth.views.login` in favor
-of `django.contrib.auth.views.LoginView` https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/auth/default/#django.contrib.auth.views.LoginView
-
-This is currently breaking the defender middleware (FailedLoginMiddleware) we have setup, and needs to be changed to support
-the LoginView Class Based View before it will work with Django 1.11. If you know up to fix it, please submit a PR.
