This patch iproved two major parts in Django. First, the fields.related
was refactored. The main addition there was ForeignObject. Second, the
ORM now handles multicolumn joins in most cases, though there are still
cases that do not work correcly (split_exclude() for example).
In addition there were extesive changes to how GenericRelation works.
Before it was a fake m2m field, now it is a pure virtual fields and is
based on ForeignObject.
There is still much room for improvement. The related fields code is
still somewhat confusing, and how fields are represented in model._meta
should also be revisited.
This patch was written mostly by Jeremy Tillman with some final polish
by the committer.
