Django 1.8.6 adds official support for Python 3.5 and fixes several bugs in 1.8.5.
Fixed a regression causing ModelChoiceField to ignore
prefetch_related() on its queryset (#25496).
Allowed “mode=memory” in SQLite test database name if supported (#12118).
Fixed system check crash on ForeignKey to abstract model
(#25503).
Fixed incorrect queries when you have multiple ManyToManyFields on
different models that have the same field name, point to the same model, and
have their reverse relations disabled (#25545).
Allowed filtering over a RawSQL annotation (#25506).
Made the Concat database function idempotent on SQLite (#25517).
Avoided a confusing stack trace when starting runserver with an
invalid INSTALLED_APPS setting (#25510). This regression
appeared in 1.8.5 as a side effect of fixing #24704.
Made deferred models use their proxied model’s _meta.apps for caching
and retrieval (#25563). This prevents any models generated in data
migrations using QuerySet.defer() from leaking to test and application
code.
Fixed a typo in the name of the strictly_above PostGIS lookup
(#25592).
Fixed crash with contrib.postgres.forms.SplitArrayField and
IntegerField on invalid value (#25597).
Added a helpful error message when Django and South migrations exist in the same directory (#25618).
Fixed a regression in URLValidator that allowed URLs with consecutive
dots in the domain section (like http://example..com/) to pass
(#25620).
Fixed a crash with GenericRelation and
BaseModelAdmin.to_field_allowed (#25622).
