Django 5.0.8 release notes
==========================

*August 6, 2024*

Django 5.0.8 fixes three security issues with severity "moderate", one security
issue with severity "high", and several bugs in 5.0.7.

Bugfixes
========

* Added missing validation for ``UniqueConstraint(nulls_distinct=False)`` when
  using ``*expressions`` (:ticket:`35594`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0 where ``ModelAdmin.action_checkbox`` could
  break the admin changelist HTML page when rendering a model instance with a
  ``__html__`` method (:ticket:`35606`).

* Fixed a crash when creating a model with a ``Field.db_default`` and a
  ``Meta.constraints`` constraint composed of ``__endswith``, ``__startswith``,
  or ``__contains`` lookups (:ticket:`35625`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0.7 that caused a crash in
  ``LocaleMiddleware`` when processing a language code over 500 characters
  (:ticket:`35627`).

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 that caused a system check crash when
  ``ModelAdmin.date_hierarchy`` was a ``GeneratedField`` with an
  ``output_field`` of ``DateField`` or ``DateTimeField`` (:ticket:`35628`).

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 which caused constraint validation to either crash
  or incorrectly raise validation errors for constraints referring to fields
  using ``Field.db_default`` (:ticket:`35638`).
