The rebuild_reference_index management command starts by
deleting the entire ReferenceIndex table.
In Wagtail versions 4.1 and 4.2, all models are tracked in the
reference index. Unfortunately this also includes the
ReferenceIndex model itself. This is changed in 5.0 to only track certain Wagtail-related models [0].
This means that when rebuild_reference_index runs in versions
4.1 or 4.2, and deletes the ReferenceIndex table, it runs the code that checks whether ReferenceIndex instances have any
references.
If the index contains a large number of references (as could
happen if an upgrade to 4.1 built an index for a non-Wagtail
model), this process becomes extremely slow. There's no need
for the rebuild_reference_index command to update the index
when deleting it, so this can be significantly optimized by
disabling auto update here.

This migration would fail on Wagtail instances that have been around
since v0.5 (when we still used django-south), because the column order
of the wagtailsearch_querydailyhits table is different from the newly-created
wagtailsearchpromotions_querydailyhits.
If you hit this issue, you deserve a 🌟
- Removes six inline scripts completely, no longer relying on window.headerSearch
- Update the fallback Stimulus Swap controller afterLoad to be a deprecated method
- Add upgrade considerations
- Fix regression from d554cbe310 where manually submitting page search results would load the partial, not full page response
- Closes #9950
Other packages and projects may still rely on the existence of this
template. We cannot simply remove it without a proper deprecation.
Add a note to remove the template in the next release.
`field_as_li.html` merely wraps a <li> and includes `field.html`.
Remove `field_as_li.html` template
It is no longer used.
Historical mention in 1.0 release notes [^1] has
been left intact.
