Django 1.6.2 release notes

February 6, 2014

This is Django 1.6.2, a bugfix release for Django 1.6. Django 1.6.2 fixes several bugs in 1.6.1:

• Prevented the base geometry object of a prepared geometry to be garbage collected, which could lead to crash Django (:ticket:`21662`).
• Fixed a crash when executing the :djadmin:`changepassword` command when the user object representation contained non-ASCII characters (:ticket:`21627`).
• The :djadmin:`collectstatic` command will raise an error rather than default to using the current working directory if :setting:`STATIC_ROOT` is not set. Combined with the --clear option, the previous behavior could wipe anything below the current working directory (:ticket:`21581`).
• Fixed mail encoding on Python 3.3.3+ (:ticket:`21093`).
• Fixed an issue where when settings.DATABASES['default']['AUTOCOMMIT'] = False, the connection wasn’t in autocommit mode but Django pretended it was.
• Fixed a regression in multiple-table inheritance exclude() queries (:ticket:`21787`).
• Added missing items to django.utils.timezone.__all__ (:ticket:`21880`).
• Fixed a field misalignment issue with select_related() and model inheritance (:ticket:`21413`).
• Fixed join promotion for negated AND conditions (:ticket:`21748`).
• Oracle database introspection now works with boolean and float fields (:ticket:`19884`).
• Fixed an issue where lazy objects weren’t actually marked as safe when passed through mark_safe() and could end up being double-escaped (:ticket:`21882`).

Additionally, Django’s vendored version of six, django.utils.six has been upgraded to the latest release (1.5.2).
