Django 1.8.1 fixes several bugs in 1.8 and includes some optimizations in the migrations framework.
timedelta
objects in
migrations (#24566).testserver
command’s positional
arguments (fixture names) (#24571).TypeError
in translation functions check_for_language()
and
get_language_bidi()
when translations are deactivated (#24569).squashmigrations
command when using
SeparateDatabaseAndState
(#24278).datetime
values when using an older version of
the MySQLdb DB API driver as it does not support fractional seconds
(#24584).ManyToManyField
s (#24513).QuerySet.update()
on foreign keys to one-to-one fields
(#24578).admindocs
when a model has a reverse foreign key
relation (#24624).admindocs
(#24625).QuerySet.update()
on foreign keys to instances with
uuid
primary keys (#24611).urlpatterns
examples generated by startproject
to
remove usage of referencing views by dotted path in
url()
which is deprecated in Django 1.8
(#24635).order_by()
, but wasn’t
part of the select clause. An example query is
qs.annotate(foo=F('field')).values('pk').order_by('foo'))
(#24615).null
/not null
column properties during field
alteration of MySQL databases (#24595).contrib.admin
’s related field widget when using
alternate static file storages (#24655).test --keepdb
, which
prevented apps with data migrations from using the option (#24729).makemessages
crash in some locales (#23271).contrib.admin
fields that use the
ModelAdmin.filter_horizontal
and filter_vertical
options
(#24676).contrib.gis
on Windows.ModelState
to deepcopy fields instead of deconstructing and
reconstructing (#24591). This speeds up the rendering of model
states and reduces memory usage when running manage.py migrate
(although other changes in this release may negate any performance
benefits).Dec 21, 2018
