Django 1.9.6 release notes
May 2, 2016
Django 1.9.6 fixes several bugs in 1.9.5.
Bugfixes
- Added support for relative path redirects to the test client and to
SimpleTestCase.assertRedirects()
because Django 1.9 no longer converts redirects to absolute URIs (:ticket:`26428`). - Fixed
TimeField
microseconds round-tripping on MySQL and SQLite (:ticket:`26498`). - Prevented
makemigrations
from generating infinite migrations for a model field that references afunctools.partial
(:ticket:`26475`). - Fixed a regression where
SessionBase.pop()
returnedNone
rather than raising aKeyError
for nonexistent values (:ticket:`26520`). - Fixed a regression causing the cached template loader to crash when using template names starting with a dash (:ticket:`26536`).
- Restored conversion of an empty string to null when saving values of
GenericIPAddressField
on SQLite and MySQL (:ticket:`26557`). - Fixed a
makemessages
regression where temporary.py
extensions were leaked in source file paths (:ticket:`26341`).
