Django 3.1.1 release notes
==========================

*Expected September 1, 2020*

Django 3.1.1 fixes several bugs in 3.1.

Bugfixes
========

* Fixed wrapping of translated action labels in the admin's navigation sidebar
  for East Asian languages (:ticket:`31853`).

  session data (:ticket:`31895`).

  deprecated keyword arguments to a queryset in
  ``TemplateView.get_context_data()`` (:ticket:`31877`).

* Enforced thread sensitivity of the :class:`MiddlewareMixin.process_request()
  <django.utils.deprecation.MiddlewareMixin>` and ``process_response()`` hooks
  when in an async context (:ticket:`31905`).

* Fixed ``__in`` lookup on key transforms for
  :class:`~django.db.models.JSONField` with MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, and SQLite
  (:ticket:`31936`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 3.1 that caused permission errors in
  ``CommonPasswordValidator`` and ``settings.py`` generated by the
  :djadmin:`startproject` command, when user didn't have permissions to all
  intermediate directories in a Django installation path (:ticket:`31912`).

* Fixed detecting an async ``get_response`` callable in various builtin
  middlewares (:ticket:`31928`).

* Fixed a ``QuerySet.order_by()`` crash on PostgreSQL when ordering and
  grouping by :class:`~django.db.models.JSONField` with a custom
  :attr:`~django.db.models.JSONField.decoder` (:ticket:`31956`).

* Fixed a ``QuerySet.delete()`` crash on MySQL, following a performance
  regression in Django 3.1 on MariaDB 10.3.2+, when filtering against an
  aggregate function (:ticket:`31965`).

* Fixed a ``django.contrib.admin.EmptyFieldListFilter`` crash when using on
  reverse relations (:ticket:`31952`).

  navigation sidebar is enabled (:ticket:`31901`).
