DJANGO SHIPS PUBLIC WARNINGS API, PATCHES TEST FLAKINESS

Django moved its internal warning utility into a public API, letting developers emit custom warnings while cleanly skipping Django's stack frames.

The framework extracted django_file_prefixes() from django.utils.deprecation into a new django.utils.warnings module [1], making it officially available for third-party code that needs to emit RuntimeWarning or UserWarning without cluttering Django's internals. This is a meaningful quality-of-life improvement for library authors who've been reaching into private APIs to do exactly this. In parallel, Django fixed a long-standing flaky test in its signals suite [2] where weak reference cleanup timing caused intermittent receiver count assertion failures, making the test suite more reliable going forward. The core library also corrected two smaller issues: CountsDict now properly accepts keyword arguments [3], and Media.__add__ now returns NotImplemented for non-Media operands [4], improving operator behavior consistency. Documentation updates to djangoproject.com point users directly to the feature release roadmap [5] [6] instead of routing through deprecated wiki links.
