Bugfixes

  • Made the development server’s autoreload more robust (:ticket:`24704`).
  • Fixed AssertionError in some delete queries with a model containing a field that is both a foreign and primary key (:ticket:`24951`).
  • Fixed AssertionError in some complex queries (:ticket:`24525`).
  • Fixed a migrations crash with GenericForeignKey (:ticket:`25040`).
  • Made translation.override() clear the overridden language when a translation isn’t initially active (:ticket:`25295`).
  • Fixed crash when using a value in ModelAdmin.list_display that clashed with a reverse field on the model (:ticket:`25299`).
  • Fixed autocompletion for options of non-argparse management commands (:ticket:`25372`).
