This is backward incompatible for custom form field/widgets that rely
on the hard-coded 'Hold down "Control", or "Command" on a Mac, to select
more than one.' sentence.
Application that use standard model form fields and widgets aren't
affected but need to start handling these help texts by themselves
before Django 1.8.

A regression caused by d5b93d3281 made .get() error
reporting recurse infinitely on certain rare conditions. Fixed this by
not trying to print the given lookup kwargs.
When a GenericRelation was defined on abstract model, queries on childs
of the abstract model didn't work. The problem was in the way fields and
in particular field.rel was copied from models to their children.
The regression was likely caused by #19385. Thanks to Gavin Wahl for
spotting the regression.
A decorator is easier to apply to CBVs. Backwards compatibility isn't an
issue here, except for people running on a recent clone of master.
Fixed a few minor problems in the transactions docs while I was there.
Queries can contain binary data undecodable with utf-8. In this
case, using the 'replace' errors mode when decoding seems like
an acceptable representation of the query.
Thanks Marcel Ryser for the report.
Previously, depending on the database backend or the cursor type,
you'd need to double the percent signs in the query before passing
it to cursor.execute. Now cursor.execute consistently need percent
doubling whenever params argument is not None (placeholder substitution
will happen).
Thanks Thomas Güttler for the report and Walter Doekes for his work
on the patch.
This reverts commit 2cd0edaa47.
This commit was the cause of a memory leak. See ticket for more details.
Thanks Anssi Kääriäinen for identifying the source of the bug.
Model.save() will use UPDATE - if not updated - INSERT instead of
SELECT - if found UPDATE else INSERT. This should save a query when
updating, but will cost a little when inserting model with PK set.
Also fixed#17341 -- made sure .save() commits transactions only after
the whole model has been saved. This wasn't the case in model
inheritance situations.
The save_base implementation was refactored into multiple methods.
A typical chain for inherited save is:
save_base()
_save_parents(self)
for each parent:
_save_parents(parent)
_save_table(parent)
_save_table(self)
