Django 1.8.5 fixes several bugs in 1.8.4.
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).
Moved the unsaved model instance assignment data loss check on reverse relations to Model.save()
(#25160).

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).
