   image	djangocms-picture

Caveats

1. Requires djangocms_link.*

2. The "Advanced settings" field "Resize any image to fit" causes image in page preview to disappear after saving the plugin.

   This is because of a JavaScript race condition. Using a server-side solution would eliminate this caveat. See TACC/Core-CMS#327.

   The issue is called out in the admin form using user-oriented language.

3. Control over image cropping is not supported through the admin form.

   Cropping options could be implemented via CSS or a feature of https://github.com/django-cms/django-filer. For details, see TACC/Core-CMS#329.

* Support is mandatory and plugin is assummed, so plugin is required. This could change in a future release.
