# Django 1.8.5 release notes

October 3, 2015

Django 1.8.5 fixes several bugs in 1.8.4.

## 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).

- Made `translation.override()` clear the overridden language when a translation isn’t initially active (#25295).

- Fixed crash when using a value in `ModelAdmin.list_display` that clashed with a reverse field on the model (#25299).

- Fixed autocompletion for options of non-`argparse` management commands (#25372).

- Alphabetized ordering of imports in `from django.db import migrations, models` statement in newly created migrations (#25384).

- Fixed migrations crash on MySQL when adding a text or a blob field with an unhashable default (#25393).

- Changed `Count` queries to execute `COUNT(*)` instead of `COUNT('*')` as versions of Django before 1.8 did (#25377). This may fix a performance regression on some databases.

- Fixed custom queryset chaining with `values()` and `values_list()` (#20625).

- Allowed using ORM write methods after disabling autocommit with `set_autocommit(False)` (#24921).

- Fixed the `manage.py test --keepdb` option on Oracle (#25421).

- Fixed incorrect queries with multiple many-to-many fields on a model with the same ‘to’ model and with `related_name` set to ‘+’ (#24505, #25486).

- Fixed pickling a `SimpleLazyObject` wrapping a model (#25389).
