Migrating djangorestframework to 2.X.X

Question

I've inherited a substantial django code base from a previous developer. We're using django-rest-framework for our api, but unfortunately the version we have is 0.4.0. I've searched for documentation on the old version and have come up empty. Specifically, the code mostly uses djangorestframework.resources.ModelResource, FormResource, and djangorestframework.views.ListModelView. I'd be willing to look into porting the code to version 2.X.X, but I haven't found any good resources on how to do that without breaking everything.

My Question: Does anyone know where I can find either docs for version 0.4.0 or some helpful resource on porting my codebase over to use the new version?

I agree with fasouto.

Also you can clone the 0.4.x github branch https://github.com/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/tree/0.4.X.

Use sphinx (http://sphinx-doc.org/tutorial.html) in order to build docs.
