Returning None on errors required unpythonic error checking and was
inconsistent with get_app_config.
get_model was a private API until the previous commit, but given that it
was certainly used in third party software, the change is explained in
the release notes.
Applied the same change to get_registered_model, which is a new private
API introduced during the recent refactoring.
It was called _populate() before I renamed it to populate(). Since it
has been superseded by populate_models() there's no reason to keep it.
Removed the can_postpone argument of load_app() as it was only used by
populate(). It's a private API and there's no replacement. Simplified
load_app() accordingly. Then new version behaves exactly like the old
one even though it's much shorter.
Got rid of AppConfig._stub. As a side effect, app_cache.app_configs now
only contains entries for applications that are in INSTALLED_APPS, which
is a good thing and will allow dramatic simplifications (which I will
perform in the next commit). That required adjusting all methods that
iterate on app_configs without checking the "installed" flag, hence the
large changes in get_model[s].
Introduced AppCache.all_models to store models:
- while the app cache is being populated and a suitable app config
object to register models isn't available yet;
- for applications that aren't in INSTALLED_APPS since they don't have
an app config any longer.
Replaced get_model(seed_cache=False) by registered_model() which can be
kept simple and safe to call at any time, and removed the seed_cache
argument to get_model[s]. There's no replacement for that private API.
Allowed non-master app caches to go through populate() as it is now
safe to do so. They were introduced in 1.7 so backwards compatibility
isn't a concern as long as the migrations framework keeps working.
Since the original ones in django.db.models.loading were kept only for
backwards compatibility, there's no need to recreate them. However, many
internals of Django still relied on them.
They were also imported in django.db.models. They never appear in the
documentation, except a quick mention of get_models and get_app in the
1.2 release notes to document an edge case in GIS. I don't think that
makes them a public API.
This commit doesn't change the overall amount of global state but
clarifies that it's tied to the app_cache object instead of hiding it
behind half a dozen functions.
The option can be used to force pre 1.6 style SELECT on save behaviour.
This is needed in case the database returns zero updated rows even if
there is a matching row in the DB. One such case is PostgreSQL update
trigger that returns NULL.

The __eq__ method now considers two instances without primary key value
equal only when they have same id(). The __hash__ method raises
TypeError for no primary key case.
Fixed#18864, fixed#18250
Thanks to Tim Graham for docs review.
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)
Since "unless managed" now means "if database-level autocommit",
committing or rolling back doesn't have any effect.
Restored transactional integrity in a few places that relied on
automatically-started transactions with a transitory API.
