The reason for the regression was that the GenericForeignKey field isn't
something meta.get_field_by_name() should return. The reason is that a
couple of places in Django expects get_field_by_name() to work this way.
It could make sense to return GFKs from get_field_by_name(), but that
should likely be done as part of meta refactoring or virtual fields
refactoring patches.
Thanks to glicerinu@gmail.com for the report and to Tim for working on
the issue.
test_i18n_language_non_english_fallback fails if run after
test_L10N_deactivated; the tests can be run in any order after
a5f6cbce07 but this commit is not
in stable/1.7.x.
This is achieved by inserting a fake entry in connection.queries when
not releasing a savepoint (since Oracle doesn't support that operation.)
Also removed the can_release_savepoints feature that was recently added,
but is superseded by this solution.

When content is supposed to contain HTML, we do not try to add
line breaks in read-only contents.
Thanks Alexander Todorov for the report.

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.
ForeignKey or ManyToManyField attribute ``limit_choices_to`` can now
be a callable that returns either a ``Q`` object or a dict.
Thanks michael at actrix.gen.nz for the original suggestion.
Historically, the Django admin used to pass through the request
from an unauthorized access to the login view directly. Now we
are using a proper redirection, which is also preventing
inadvertantly changing data when POSTing login data to an admin
view when user is already authorized.
Thanks Marc Tamlyn and Tim Graham for the reviews.
This is the result of Christopher Medrela's 2013 Summer of Code project.
Thanks also to Preston Holmes, Tim Graham, Anssi Kääriäinen, Florian
Apolloner, and Alex Gaynor for review notes along the way.
Also: Fixes#8579, fixes#3055, fixes#19844.
Updated ModelAdmin to use form.instance when passing parent model to
child inlines for add_view. There is effectively no change in the
change_view since the previously passed 'obj' is the same as form.instance.
Thanks to meshy for report, and EvilDMP and timo for review.
``ModelAdmin.view_on_site`` defines wether to show a link to the object on the
admin detail page. If ``True``, cleverness (i.e. ``Model.get_absolute_url``) is
used to get the url. If it's a callable, the callable is called with the object
as the only parameter. If ``False``, not link is displayed.
With the aim of maitaining backwards compatibility, ``True`` is the default.
