Django 1.8.7 release notes
==========================
*November 24, 2015*
Django 1.8.7 fixes a security issue and several bugs in 1.8.6.
Additionally, Django's vendored version of six, ``django.utils.six``, has
been upgraded to the latest release (1.10.0).
Fixed settings leak possibility in ``date`` template filter
===========================================================
If an application allows users to specify an unvalidated format for dates and
passes this format to the :tfilter:`date` filter, e.g.
``{{ last_updated|date:user_date_format }}``, then a malicious user could
obtain any secret in the application's settings by specifying a settings key
instead of a date format. e.g. ``"SECRET_KEY"`` instead of ``"j/m/Y"``.
To remedy this, the underlying function used by the ``date`` template filter,
``django.utils.formats.get_format()``, now only allows accessing the date/time
formatting settings.
Bugfixes
========
* Fixed a crash of the debug view during the autumn DST change when

* Fixed a regression in 1.8.6 that caused database routers without an
``allow_migrate()`` method to crash (:ticket:`25686`).

(:ticket:`25683`).

in the ``migrations`` directory to fail (:ticket:`25618`).

``to_attr`` is set to a ``ManyToManyField`` (:ticket:`25693`).

bytestrings on Python 2 if the input is a bytestring (:ticket:`25720`).

``PositiveSmallIntegerField`` on MySQL resulting in values greater than
