Previously, GET, POST, and FILES on an HttpRequest were created in
the __init__ method as dictionaries. This was not something you would
usually notice causing trouble in production as you'd only see a
WSGIRequest, but in testing using the test client, calling .getlist
on GET, POST, or FILES for a request with no get/post data resulted in
an AttributeError.
Changed GET and POST on an HttpRequest object to be mutable
QueryDicts (mutable because the Django tests, and probably many
third party tests, were expecting it).
Keeping backwards compatibility with test_runner.option_list is
tricky and would imply transforming an optparse.Option to an
argparse.Action. I choose to introduce a backwards incompatible
change because it only affects testing, not runtime behavior.
This patch is two-fold; first it ensure that Django does close everything in
request.FILES at the end of the request and secondly the storage system should
no longer close any files during save, it's up to the caller to handle that --
or let Django close the files at the end of the request.
It prevented the GZipMiddleware from compressing some data types even on
more recent version of IE where the corresponding bug was fixed.
Thanks Aaron Cannon for the report and Tim Graham for the review.
``HttpRequest.build_absolute_uri()`` now correctly handles paths starting with ``//``.
``WSGIRequest`` now doesn't remove all the leading slashes either,
because ``http://test/server`` and http://test//server`` aren't the same thing
(RFC2396).
Thanks to SmileyChris for the initial patch.

If we allow any value to remove form fields then we get name clashes
with method names, media classes etc. There was a backwards
incompatibility introduced meaning ModelForm subclasses with declared
fields called media or clean would lose those fields.
Field removal is now only permitted by using the sentinel value None.
The docs have been slightly reworded to refer to removal of fields
rather than shadowing.
Thanks to gcbirzan for the report and initial patch, and several of the
core team for opinions.
Previously the FORMAT_MODULE_PATH setting only accepted one string (dotted
module path). A feature has been added to also allow a list of strings.
This is useful when using several reusable third party apps that define new
formats. We can now use them all and we can even override some of the formats
by providing a project-wide format module.

Exceptions from the (receiver, exception) tuples returned by
``send_robust()`` now have always their traceback attached as their
``__traceback__`` argument.
Fields can now receive the `label_suffix` attribute, which will override
a form's `label_suffix`.
This enhances the possibility to customize form's `label_suffix`, allowing
to use such customizations while using shortcuts such as
`{{ form.as_p }}`.
Note that the field's own customization can be overridden at runtime by
using the `label_prefix` parameter to `BoundField.label_tag()`.

Previously, when logging out, the existing session was overwritten by a
new sessionid instead of deleting the session altogether.
This behavior added overhead by creating a new session record in
whichever backend was in use: db, cache, etc.
This extra session is unnecessary at the time since no session data is
meant to be preserved when explicitly logging out.
Thanks fatal10110 at gmail.com for the report. The fix is 1.6-only
because that code has been refactored in 1.7 (6983201cfb).
'Docs-only' forward port of 120a98120 from 1.6.x.
Avoided introducing a new regex-based SQL splitter in the migrations
framework, before we're bound by backwards compatibility.
Adapted this change to the legacy "initial SQL data" feature, even
though it's already deprecated, in order to facilitate the transition
to migrations.
sqlparse becomes mandatory for RunSQL on some databases (all but
PostgreSQL). There's no API to provide a single statement and tell
Django not to attempt splitting. Since we have a more robust splitting
implementation, that seems like a good tradeoff. It's easier to add a
new keyword argument later if necessary than to remove one.
Many people contributed to both tickets, thank you all, and especially
Claude for the review.
Refs #22401.
The ticket was originally about two failing tests, which are
fixed by putting their queries in transactions.
Thanks Tim Graham for the report, Aymeric Augustin for the fix,
and Simon Charette, Tim Graham & Loïc Bistuer for review.
Previously, saving a model instance to a non-related field (in
particular a FloatField) would silently convert the model to an Integer
(the pk) and save it. This is undesirable behaviour, and likely to cause
confusion so the validatio has been hardened.
Thanks to @PirosB3 for the patch and @jarshwah for the review.
Change database test settings from "TEST_"-prefixed entries in the
database settings dictionary to setting in a dictionary that is itself
an entry "TEST" in the database settings.
Refs #21775
Thanks Josh Smeaton for review.
Also took the opportunity to slightly refactor gettext options
so as to ease customization by subclassing the command.
Thanks Michal Čihař for the report and initial patch.
GenericRelation now supports an optional related_query_name argument.
Setting related_query_name adds a relation from the related object back to
the content type for filtering, ordering and other query operations.
Thanks to Loic Bistuer for spotting a couple of important issues in
his review.
This feature allows the default `TIMEOUT` Cache argument to be set to `None`,
so that cache instances can set a non-expiring key as the default,
instead of using the default value of 5 minutes.
Previously, this was possible only by passing `None` as an argument to
the set() method of objects of type `BaseCache` (and subtypes).
Allows custom behavior for setting initial form data in ModelAdmin.
By default, initial data is set via GET params. The new method allows
this behavior to be overridden.
Thanks egasimus for the suggestion.
Introduced a number of settings to configure max-age, path, and domain
for the language cookie: LANGUAGE_COOKIE_AGE, LANGUAGE_COOKIE_PATH and
LANGUAGE_COOKIE_DOMAIN.
Thanks sahid for the suggestion.
By removing the 'supported' keyword from the detection methods and only relying
on a cached settings.LANGUAGES, the speed of said methods has been improved;
around 4x raw performance. This allows us to stop checking Python's incomplete
list of locales, and rely on a less restrictive regular expression for
accepting certain locales.
HTTP Accept-Language is defined as being case-insensitive, based on this fact
extra performance improvements have been made; it wouldn't make sense to
check for case differences.
