Django 1.8.3 release notes
==========================

*Under development*

Django 1.8.3 fixes several bugs in 1.8.2.

Also, ``django.utils.deprecation.RemovedInDjango20Warning`` was renamed to
``RemovedInDjango110Warning`` as the version roadmap was revised to 1.9, 1.10,
1.11 (LTS), 2.0 (drops Python 2 support). For backwards compatibility,
``RemovedInDjango20Warning`` remains as an importable alias.

  a regression (:ticket:`24836`).
