Django 1.9.5 release notes
==========================

*Under development*

Django 1.9.5 fixes several bugs in 1.9.4.

Bugfixes
========

* Made ``MultiPartParser`` ignore filenames that normalize to an empty string
  to fix crash in ``MemoryFileUploadHandler`` on specially crafted user input
  (:ticket:`26325`).

* Fixed a race condition in ``BaseCache.get_or_set()`` (:ticket:`26332`). It
  now returns the ``default`` value instead of ``False`` if there's an error
  when trying to add the value to the cache.

* Fixed data loss on SQLite where ``DurationField`` values with fractional
  seconds could be saved as ``None`` (:ticket:`26324`).

* The forms in ``contrib.auth`` no longer strip trailing and leading whitespace
  from the password fields (:ticket:`26334`). The change requires users who set
  their password to something with such whitespace after a site updated to
  Django 1.9 to reset their password. It provides backwards-compatibility for
  earlier versions of Django.

* Fixed a memory leak in the cached template loader (:ticket:`26306`).

* Fixed a regression that caused ``collectstatic --clear`` to fail if the
  storage doesn't implement ``path()`` (:ticket:`26297`).
