========================== Django 1.6.2 release notes ========================== *February 6, 2014* This is Django 1.6.2, a bugfix release for Django 1.6. Django 1.6.2 fixes several bugs in 1.6.1: * Prevented the base geometry object of a prepared geometry to be garbage collected, which could lead to crash Django (:ticket:`21662`). * Fixed a crash when executing the :djadmin:`changepassword` command when the user object representation contained non-ASCII characters (:ticket:`21627`). * The :djadmin:`collectstatic` command will raise an error rather than default to using the current working directory if :setting:`STATIC_ROOT` is not set. Combined with the ``--clear`` option, the previous behavior could wipe anything below the current working directory (:ticket:`21581`). * Fixed mail encoding on Python 3.3.3+ (:ticket:`21093`). * Fixed an issue where when ``settings.DATABASES['default']['AUTOCOMMIT'] = False``, the connection wasn't in autocommit mode but Django pretended it was. * Fixed a regression in multiple-table inheritance ``exclude()`` queries (:ticket:`21787`). * Added missing items to ``django.utils.timezone.__all__`` (:ticket:`21880`). * Fixed a field misalignment issue with ``select_related()`` and model inheritance (:ticket:`21413`). * Fixed join promotion for negated ``AND`` conditions (:ticket:`21748`). * Oracle database introspection now works with boolean and float fields (:ticket:`19884`). * Fixed an issue where lazy objects weren't actually marked as safe when passed through :func:`~django.utils.safestring.mark_safe` and could end up being double-escaped (:ticket:`21882`). Additionally, Django's vendored version of six, :mod:`django.utils.six` has been upgraded to the latest release (1.5.2).
