DJANGO FIXES MODULE LOADING AND MIGRATION TRACKING IN MAJOR UTILITY OVERHAUL

Django's import_string utility now handles full module paths and submodules, closing a long-standing gap in the framework's import capabilities.

The headline fix [1] [2] upgrades import_string to load modules directly without requiring prior import state, a capability that was broken or incomplete before. This matters because developers have been working around this limitation for years. In parallel, Django's migration system gained critical functionality [3]: unmanaged models now get the same migration tracking as managed models, meaning your external database tables finally appear in your schema history. The admin interface saw test fixes [4] to properly validate SelectBox heights after Flexbox updates to the UI, ensuring selenium tests reflect actual behavior instead of brittle assumptions. On the infrastructure side [5], Django bumped its GitHub Actions dependencies to resolve Node.js 20 deprecation warnings, upgrading to upload-artifact@v7 to stay current with GitHub's runtime requirements.
