django/docs/releases/1.8.8.txt
Anssi Kääriäinen ee9f4686b1 Fixed #23372 -- Made loaddata faster if it doesn't find any fixtures.
Django's test suite often tries to load fixture files from apps that have
no fixtures at all. This creates a lot of unnecessary disabling and
enabling of constraints which can be expensive on some database.

To speed this up, loaddata now first checks if any fixture file matches.
If no fixture file is matched, then the command exits before disabling
and enabling of constraints is done.

The main benefit of this change is seen on MSSQL, where tests on
Django 1.8 run hours faster.

Django 1.8.8 release notes
==========================
*Under development*
Django 1.8.8 fixes several bugs in 1.8.7.
Python 3.2 users, please be advised that we've decided to drop support for
Python 3.2 in Django 1.8.x at the end of 2016. We won't break things
intentionally after that, but we won't test subsequent releases against Python
3.2 either. Upstream support for Python 3.2 ends February 2016 so we don't find
much value in providing security updates for a version of Python that could be
insecure. To read more about the decision and to let us know if this will be
problematic for you, please read the `django-developers thread
<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-developers/eMu5UQpUdWs/discussion>`_.
Bugfixes
========
* Fixed incorrect ``unique_together`` field name generation by ``inspectdb``
(:ticket:`25274`).
* Corrected ``__len`` query lookup on ``ArrayField`` for empty arrays
(:ticket:`25772`).
* Restored the ability to use custom formats from ``formats.py`` with
``django.utils.formats.get_format()`` and the ``date`` template filter
(:ticket:`25812`).
* Fixed a state bug when migrating a ``SeparateDatabaseAndState`` operation
backwards (:ticket:`25896`).
* Fixed missing ``varchar/text_pattern_ops`` index on ``CharField`` and
``TextField`` respectively when using ``AlterField`` on PostgreSQL
(:ticket:`25412`).
* Fixed a state bug when using an ``AlterModelManagers`` operation
(:ticket:`25852`).
* Fixed a regression which prevented using a language not in Django's default
language list (:setting:`LANGUAGES`) (:ticket:`25915`).
* ``django.views.decorators.cache.never_cache()`` now sends more persuasive
headers (added ``no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate`` to ``Cache-Control``)
to better prevent caching (:ticket:`13008`). This fixes a problem where a
page refresh in Firefox cleared the selected entries in the admin's
``filter_horizontal`` and ``filter_vertical`` widgets, which could result
in inadvertent data loss if a user didn't notice that and then submitted the
form (:ticket:`22955`).
* Fixed a regression in the admin which ignored line breaks in read-only fields
instead of converting them to ``<br>`` (:ticket:`25465`).
* Made ``loaddata`` skip disabling and enabling database constraints when it
doesn't load any fixtures (:ticket:`23372`).
