How to save change history in Django model?

Question

Django

I'm trying to include the django-reversion application to save model history . I do according to the documentation and if, save from the administrative interface, then everything works correctly, but no records are made from UpdateView. I'm using Django==1.5.6 and django-reverion==1.7.1.

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.transaction.TransactionMiddleware',
    'reversion.middleware.RevisionMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
)

Although, if I understood correctly from the documentation , only the following lines should be enough for me:
models.py

# Регистрируем необходимые модели
for report in reports_list():
    reversion.register(report)

views.py

class ReportUpdate(UpdateView):
   ...
    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        response = super(ReportUpdate, self).post(request, *args, **kwargs)
        self.object = self.get_object()
        self.object.editor = request.user.profile
        self.object.is_filled = True
        with transaction.commit_on_success(), reversion.create_revision():
            self.object.save()
            reversion.set_user(request.user)
            reversion.set_comment('comment...')

        return response

If anyone came across, point out the errors or where to dig, which line to read more carefully ...

Try like this:

with reversion.create_revision(manage_manually=True):
    self.object.save()
    reversion.default_revision_manager.save_revision(
            [self.object],
            user=request.user,
            comment='comment...'
    )
