Django 1.8.4 fixes a security issue and several bugs in 1.8.3.
logout() view by filling session store¶Previously, a session could be created when anonymously accessing the
django.contrib.auth.views.logout() view (provided it wasn't decorated
with login_required() as done in the
admin). This could allow an attacker to easily create many new session records
by sending repeated requests, potentially filling up the session store or
causing other users' session records to be evicted.
The SessionMiddleware has been
modified to no longer create empty session records, including when
SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST is active.
Added the ability to serialize values from the newly added
UUIDField (#25019).
Added a system check warning if the old TEMPLATE_* settings are defined
in addition to the new TEMPLATES setting.
Fixed QuerySet.raw() so InvalidQuery is not raised when using the
db_column name of a ForeignKey field with primary_key=True
(#12768).
Prevented an exception in TestCase.setUpTestData() from leaking the
transaction (#25176).
Fixed has_changed() method in contrib.postgres.forms.HStoreField
(#25215, #25233).
Fixed the recording of squashed migrations when running the migrate
command (#25231).
Moved the unsaved model instance assignment data loss check to Model.save() to allow easier usage
of in-memory models (#25160).
Prevented varchar_patterns_ops and text_patterns_ops indexes for
ArrayField (#25180).
