Add support for table-valued expressions in ORM (#113) django/deps

by Pravin

The Steering Council approved table-valued expressions in the ORM on 2026-10-14, the period's clearest signal about where query construction is heading. Nothing ships to the ORM yet, but the design question is settled.

Fixed #23424 -- Corrected tokenization of verbatim blocks. django/django

by sarahboyce

Verbatim blocks now tokenize correctly, so directive content inside them no longer gets parsed where it should be passed through untouched. This is the kind of fix you notice only when a doc page renders wrong.

Refs #37212 -- Fixed console tabs bug on shared doctrees. django/django

by Mike Edmunds

A builder-specific optimization in ConsoleDirective is gone, which fixes output that varied with build order when doctrees are shared, as docs/Makefile does. Incremental doc builds should now produce the same bytes as clean ones.

Fixed #32980 -- Reduced cost of building M2M related managers. django/django

by kedmenec

Relation-only attributes of ManyRelatedManager move to class level so __init__() does per-instance work only, without the per-instance caching that was reverted in #33984. Code that instantiates related managers in hot loops is the target.

Fixed #28219 -- Made UnorderedObjectListWarning skip Django frames. django/django

by shan3520

The fixed stacklevel=3 only pointed at user code when Paginator was instantiated directly; through ListView, the admin, or AsyncPaginator the warning landed inside Django. Those pagination warnings now name your own view or queryset.

Fixed #37418 -- Fixed JSONField/HStoreField crash on deeply nested JSON. django/django

by philipsorensen

forms.JSONField.to_python() and bound_data() only caught json.JSONDecodeError, so input nested past the recursion limit raised RecursionError out of Form, forcing a 500. Deeply nested payloads now surface as a validation error instead of crashing the request.

Fixed #37411 -- Added compatibility for oracledb 26.0.0+. django/django

by Jacob Walls

oracledb 26.0.0 requires large parameter values to be passed as a temporary LOB when calling PL/SQL functions, which broke GIS fixtures on input like the Texas Multipolygon WKT. Oracle deployments on 26.0.0 or later need this compat fix to run those paths.

Fix #514: Handle scope["server"] = None in build_environ without crashing django/asgiref

by patx

build_environ indexed scope["server"] after checking only for its presence, so servers that set it to None, including Uvicorn with --uds, hit a TypeError. The check now handles the None case.
