Django 1.7.1 release notes
==========================
*Under development*
Django 1.7.1 fixes several bugs in 1.7.
Bugfixes
========
* Allowed related many-to-many fields to be referenced in the admin
(:ticket:`23604`).
* Added a more helpful error message if you try to migrate an app without first
creating the ``contenttypes`` table (:ticket:`22411`).
* Modified migrations dependency algorithm to avoid possible infinite recursion.
* Fixed a ``UnicodeDecodeError`` when the ``flush`` error message contained
Unicode characters (:ticket:`22882`).
* Reinstated missing ``CHECK`` SQL clauses which were omitted on some backends
when not using migrations (:ticket:`23416`).
* Fixed serialization of ``type`` objects in migrations (:ticket:`22951`).
* Allowed inline and hidden references to admin fields (:ticket:`23431`).
* The ``@deconstructible`` decorator now fails with a ``ValueError`` if the
decorated object cannot automatically be imported (:ticket:`23418`).
* Fixed a typo in an ``inlineformset_factory()`` error message that caused a
crash (:ticket:`23451`).
* Restored the ability to use :setting:`ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES` with the
``'auth.User'`` model (:ticket:`11775`). As a side effect, the setting now
adds a ``get_absolute_url()`` method to any model that appears in
``ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES`` but doesn't define ``get_absolute_url()``.
* Avoided masking some `ImportError` exceptions during application loading
(:ticket:`22920`).
* Empty ``index_together`` or ``unique_together`` model options no longer
results in infinite migrations (:ticket:`23452`).
* Fixed crash in ``contrib.sitemaps`` if ``lastmod`` returned a ``date`` rather
than a ``datetime`` (:ticket:`23403`).
* Allowed migrations to work with ``app_label``\s that have the same last
part (e.g. ``django.contrib.auth`` and ``vendor.auth``) (:ticket:`23483`).
* Restored the ability to deepcopy ``F`` objects (:ticket:`23492`).
* Formats for Welsh (``cy``) and several Chinese locales (``zh_CN``,
``zh_Hans``, ``zh_Hant`` and ``zh_TW``) have been added. Formats for
Macedonian have been fixed (trailing dot removed, :ticket:`23532`).
* Added quoting of constraint names in the SQL generated by migrations to
prevent crash with uppercase characters in the name (:ticket:`23065`).
* Fixed renaming of models with a self-referential many-to-many field
(``ManyToManyField('self')``) (:ticket:`23503`).
* Added the :meth:`~django.contrib.admin.InlineModelAdmin.get_extra()`,
:meth:`~django.contrib.admin.InlineModelAdmin.get_max_num()`, and
:meth:`~django.contrib.admin.InlineModelAdmin.get_min_num()` hooks to
:class:`~django.contrib.contenttypes.admin.GenericInlineModelAdmin`
(:ticket:`23539`).
* Made ``migrations.RunSQL`` no longer require percent sign escaping. This is
now consistent with ``cursor.execute()`` (:ticket:`23426`).
* Made the :setting:`SERIALIZE <TEST_SERIALIZE>` entry in the
:setting:`TEST <DATABASE-TEST>` dictionary usable (:ticket:`23421`).
* Fixed bug in migrations that prevented foreign key constraints to unmanaged
models with a custom primary key (:ticket:`23415`).
* Added ``SchemaEditor`` for MySQL GIS backend so that spatial indexes will be
created for apps with migrations (:ticket:`23538`).
* Added ``SchemaEditor`` for Oracle GIS backend so that spatial metadata and
indexes will be created for apps with migrations (:ticket:`23537`).
* Coerced the ``related_name`` model field option to unicode during migration
generation to generate migrations that work with both Python 2 and 3
(:ticket:`23455`).
* Fixed ``MigrationWriter`` to handle builtin types without imports
(:ticket:`23560`).
