Important

In this release we have removed undocumented get_for_object method from both UserObjectPermissionManager and GroupObjectPermissionManager. Not deprecated, removed. Those methods were not used within django-guardian and their odd names could lead to issues if user would believe they would return object level permissions associated with user/group and object passed as the input. If you depend on those methods, you’d need to stick with version 1.1 and make sure you do not misuse them.
