Hi All. 

This week I reviewed patches on:

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25790 -- Added option to disable column sort in admin changelist

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20118 -- Default authorization backend returns False when queried for object level permissions

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28403 -- Improve the example for FORMAT_MODULE_PATH and add missing formats

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28784 -- Re-phrased the documentation for the fake option in migrate command

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28748 -- Made CharField choices' check stricter

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8500  -- Allowed overriding the default admin site instance.

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27728 -- Allowed overriding admin templatetag's templates

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28977 -- Change Local Memory Cache to Use LRU

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28838 -- annotations + base_manager_name + instance.save() raises exception

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25718 -- Allowed using None as a JSONField lookup value.

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9475  -- Allowed add(), create(), etc for m2m with through

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29059 -- ChoiceWidget.optgroups() doesn't group choices without a group together

I also looked (briefly) at the release blocker: 

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28944 -- Chaining values()/values_list() after QuerySet.select_for_update(of=()) crashes

... but needed much more time than I thought reasonable to say anything sensible.

Kind Regards,

Carlton
