  6. 

  7. Django 1.8.8 fixes several bugs in 1.8.7.

  8. 

  9. Python 3.2 users, please be advised that we've decided to drop support for

  10. Python 3.2 in Django 1.8.x at the end of 2016. We won't break things

  11. intentionally after that, but we won't test subsequent releases against Python

  12. 3.2 either. Upstream support for Python 3.2 ends February 2016 so we don't find

  13. much value in providing security updates for a version of Python that could be

  14. insecure. To read more about the decision and to let us know if this will be

  15. problematic for you, please read the `django-developers thread

  16. <https://groups.google.com/g/django-developers/c/eMu5UQpUdWs/discussion>`_.

  18. Bugfixes

  19. ========

  20. 

  21. * Fixed incorrect ``unique_together`` field name generation by ``inspectdb``

  22.   (:ticket:`25274`).

  23. 

  24. * Corrected ``__len`` query lookup on ``ArrayField`` for empty arrays

  25.   (:ticket:`25772`).

  26. 

  27. * Restored the ability to use custom formats from ``formats.py`` with

  28.   ``django.utils.formats.get_format()`` and the ``date`` template filter

  29.   (:ticket:`25812`).

  30. 

  31. * Fixed a state bug when migrating a ``SeparateDatabaseAndState`` operation

  32.   backwards (:ticket:`25896`).

  33. 

  34. * Fixed missing ``varchar/text_pattern_ops`` index on ``CharField`` and

  35.   ``TextField`` respectively when using ``AlterField`` on PostgreSQL

  36.   (:ticket:`25412`).

  37. 

  38. * Fixed a state bug when using an ``AlterModelManagers`` operation

  39.   (:ticket:`25852`).

  40. 

  41. * Fixed a regression which prevented using a language not in Django's default

  42.   language list (:setting:`LANGUAGES`) (:ticket:`25915`).

  43. 

  44. * ``django.views.decorators.cache.never_cache()`` now sends more persuasive

  45.   headers (added ``no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate`` to ``Cache-Control``)

  46.   to better prevent caching (:ticket:`13008`). This fixes a problem where a

  47.   page refresh in Firefox cleared the selected entries in the admin's

  48.   ``filter_horizontal`` and ``filter_vertical`` widgets, which could result

  49.   in inadvertent data loss if a user didn't notice that and then submitted the

  50.   form (:ticket:`22955`).

  51. 

  52. * Fixed a regression in the admin which ignored line breaks in read-only fields

  53.   instead of converting them to ``<br>`` (:ticket:`25465`).

  54. 

  55. * Made ``loaddata`` skip disabling and enabling database constraints when it

  56.   doesn't load any fixtures (:ticket:`23372`).

  57. 

  58. * Fixed a crash in ``QuerySet.values()/values_list()`` after an ``annotate()``

  59.   and ``order_by()`` when ``values()/values_list()`` includes a field not in

  60.   the ``order_by()`` (:ticket:`25316`).
