TemplateSyntaxError at /admin/ caused by new grappelli version

[HeinrichHartmann]

I installed the latest job-runner via pip as described in the tutorial.

When accessing /admin I get an error:

TemplateSyntaxError at /admin/
'firstof' is not a valid tag or filter in tag library 'future'

full stacktrace available here http://dpaste.com/hold/1518704/

Cause: The latest version of grappelli breaks compatibility with django 1.4
I was able to fix is by downgrading grappelli to version 2.4.8.

Hi,

Thanks for the report. It looks like this issue is related to grappelli being incompatible with some versions of django.
See sehmaschine/django-grappelli#407

In the description you can find the fix:
Cause: The latest version of grappelli breaks compatibility with django 1.4
I was able to fix is by downgrading grappelli to version 2.4.8.

I'll hard-code the grappelli fix later, or if you could send a pull request that would be great. :)

Hi, would you consider releasing bugfix versions of the components? It looks like versions of the dependencies were fixed in source, but just never released, which means everyone installing using pip is hitting these issues.
