Added a tutorial step that highlights Django Debug Toolbar, on of the
most common third party packages. It also added a mention of
djangopackages.com as a place to search for other libraries and a
link to Adam Johnson’s post on evaluating whether a package is
well-maintained.
Third-party packages are one of Django’s strengths. This should give
folks a sound route in.

Defined all colors used in the admin CSS as variables. Implemented the
following standardizations and accessibility improvements while at it:
- Improved the contrast of text to not use ratios of less than 3:1 anymore.
- Most hover states already used desaturated and darkened colors.
Changed object tools to follow the same rule instead of showing the
primary color on hover.
Various places used similar colors; those have been merged with the goal
of reducing the count of CSS variables. Contrasts have been improved in
a few places.
- Many borders used slightly different colors (e.g. #eaeaea vs. #eee)
- Help texts used #999, this has been changed to --body-quiet-color
(#666) which has a better contrast.
Introduced fast color transitions on links and buttons.
SecurityMiddleware and the three cache middlewares were not calling
super().__init__() during their initialization or calling the required
MiddlewareMixin._async_check() method.
This made the middlewares not properly present as coroutine and
confused the middleware chain when used in a fully async context.
Thanks Kordian Kowalski for the report.
Following web standards, the modern _evergreen_ browsers are all
supported. This applies equally to mobile platforms. Assuming current
trends continue, this should be a sustainable policy.
Microsoft deprecated all versions of Internet Explorer. IE 11, the last
version, is described as a "compatibility solution" rather than a web
browser. Whilst it will receive security updates for the lifetime of
Windows 10 it's use is actively discouraged.
The IE 11 downloads page makes it clear: "We recommend you use the new
Microsoft Edge".
These classes can serve as a base class for user enums, supporting
translatable human-readable names, or names automatically inferred
from the enum member name.
Additional properties make it easy to access the list of names, values
and display labels.
