Bugfixes
- Made the development server’s autoreload more robust (#24704).
- Fixed AssertionError in some delete queries with a model containing a
field that is both a foreign and primary key (#24951).
- Fixed AssertionError in some complex queries (#24525).
- Fixed a migrations crash with GenericForeignKey (#25040).

translation isn’t initially active (#25295).

with a reverse field on the model (#25299).
- Fixed autocompletion for options of non-argparse management commands
(#25372).

models statement in newly created migrations (#25384).

same ‘to’ model and with related_name set to ‘+’ (#24505,
#25486).
