Good morning. It's August 3rd, 2026, and this is Django.
The standout item today isn't a single change, it's a duplication problem. Developer ashishmurugan opened four separate pull requests, numbers 21719 through 21722, all within about eight minutes of each other, all fixing the same ticket, 31923. Each one adds Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy header support to the…
On the reliability side, Jacob Walls landed two focused fixes. Pull request 21711 addresses a mocking gap in the SQLite in-memory test database helper. The fix, in commit 5637bec, mocks global settings alongside the connections object, closing a gap that let the test database name leak between tests. That leak was…
The second fix, pull request 21712, corrects how null time fields are read in layer mapping, aligning it with existing date and date-time field handling. It's a small follow-up to earlier work, but it closes a gap in geographic data import correctness.
What's next: watch for the Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy pull requests to converge into one, and expect the test suite to be noticeably more stable under parallel runs now that the database name pollution is fixed.
That's Django for today.
