DJANGO STATICFILES FINDER RESTORED AFTER OVERZEALOUS REMOVAL

Django's staticfiles BaseFinder.find() method is back after being mistakenly deleted, and you need to know if it affects your current version.

Nick Pope restored django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.BaseFinder.find() [1], which was overzealously removed in a previous commit and will need backporting to the 6.1 stable branch [8]. This is the most consequential change across the stack in the last 24 hours. Separately, the Django documentation gained a practical example for custom validation in admin inlines [2], showing how to assign a custom ModelForm to InlineModelAdmin.form with both model and form declared. A separate fix landed for content_disposition_header() to properly quote filenames ending with newlines [3], addressing a specific edge case in file handling. Over on djangoproject.com, six dependency updates rolled in via Dependabot: actions/setup-python jumped to 7.0.0 with an ESM migration [4], actions/checkout got a patch to 7.0.1 [5], coverage upgraded to 7.15.2 with a memory use fix [6], and sentry-sdk advanced to 2.66.0 with new tracing options [7].
