We've just released Django 1.5.1, a bugfix release fixing a few issues with
last month's 1.5 release.
The biggest fix is for a memory leak introduced in Django 1.5. Under certain
circumstances, repeated iteration over querysets could leak memory - sometimes
quite a bit of it. If you'd like more information, the details are in
our ticket tracker (and in a related issue in Python itself).
If you've noticed memory problems under Django 1.5, upgrading to 1.5.1 should
fix those issues.
Django 1.5.1 also includes a couple smaller fixes:
Module-level warnings emitted during tests are no longer silently hidden
( 18985 ).
Prevented filtering on password hashes in the user admin ( 20078 ).
All users are encouraged to upgrade to Django 1.5.1 at your earliest
convenience. You can install Django using pip or download Django 1.5.1 from
the Django downloads page . As always signed checksums of the package are
available.
On that last point: astute readers may notice that Django 1.5.1 is signed by a
new key. Until today, all releases were signed by James Bennett, but to increase
our bus factor we're moving to a system where multiple people will be
authorized to release Django. See our Django releasers document for the
list of approved .. cntd
