Updates to Django

Today 'Updates to Django' is presented by Raffaella Suardini from Djangonaut Space!

Last week we had 11 pull requests merged into Django by 11 different contributors - including 3 first-time contributors! Congratulations to Michael, Andrew Miller and Bam_boogie for having their first commits merged into Django - welcome on board! 🚀

Great work with fixing bugs:

Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 that caused a crash of Model.full_clean() on unsaved model instances with a GeneratedField.
Fixed a bug in Django 5.2 where combining queries and annotations with model fields led to undesirable SQL queries.

Django has released versions 5.0.7 and 4.2.14, addressing several security vulnerabilities. Please upgrade as soon as possible. Detailed information can be found in the official announcement.
