Bugfixes

  • Fixed a crash in MySQL connections where SELECT @@SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL doesn’t return a result (#%s26991).
  • Allowed User.is_authenticated and User.is_anonymous properties to be compared using ==, !=, and | (#%s26988, #%s27154).
  • Removed the broken BaseCommand.usage() method which was for optparse support (#%s27000).
  • Fixed a checks framework crash with an empty Meta.default_permissions (#%s26997).
  • Fixed a regression in the number of queries when using RadioSelect with a ModelChoiceField form field (#%s27001).

  • Fixed the isnull lookup on a ForeignKey with its to_field pointing to a CharField or pointing to a CharField defined with primary_key=True (#%s26983).
  • Prevented the migrate command from raising InconsistentMigrationHistory in the presence of unapplied squashed migrations (#%s27004).
  • Fixed a regression in Client.force_login() which required specifying a backend rather than automatically using the first one if multiple backends are configured (#%s27027).
  • Made QuerySet.bulk_create() properly initialize model instances on backends, such as PostgreSQL, that support returning the IDs of the created records so that many-to-many relationships can be used on the new objects (#%s27026).
  • Fixed crash of django.views.static.serve() with show_indexes enabled (#%s26973).
  • Fixed ClearableFileInput to avoid the required HTML attribute when initial data exists (#%s27037).
  • Fixed annotations with database functions when combined with lookups on PostGIS (#%s27014).
  • Reallowed the {% for %} tag to unpack any iterable (#%s27058).
  • Made makemigrations skip inconsistent history checks on non-default databases if database routers aren’t in use or if no apps can be migrated to the database (#%s27054, #%s27110, #%s27142).
  • Removed duplicated managers in Model._meta.managers (#%s27073).
  • Fixed contrib.admindocs crash when a view is in a class, such as some of the admin views (#%s27018).
  • Reverted a few admin checks that checked field.many_to_many back to isinstance(field, models.ManyToManyField) since it turned out the checks weren’t suitable to be generalized like that (#%s26998).
  • Added the database alias to the InconsistentMigrationHistory message raised by makemigrations and migrate (#%s27089).
  • Fixed the creation of ContentType and Permission objects for models of applications without migrations when calling the migrate command with no migrations to apply (#%s27044).
  • Included the already applied migration state changes in the Apps instance provided to the pre_migrate signal receivers to allow ContentType renaming to be performed on model rename (#%s27100).
  • Reallowed subclassing UserCreationForm without USERNAME_FIELD in Meta.fields (#%s27111).
  • Fixed a regression in model forms where model fields with a default that didn’t appear in POST data no longer used the default (#%s27039).
