Jake Howard e891a84c7e Fixed CVE-2026-1287 -- Protected against SQL injection in column aliases via control characters.
Control characters in FilteredRelation column aliases could be used for
SQL injection attacks. This affected QuerySet.annotate(), aggregate(),
extra(), values(), values_list(), and alias() when using dictionary
expansion with **kwargs.

Thanks Solomon Kebede for the report, and Simon Charette, Jacob Walls,
and Natalia Bidart for reviews.

======
Django
======

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development
and clean, pragmatic design. Thanks for checking it out.

All documentation is in the "``docs``" directory and online at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/. If you're just getting started,
here's how we recommend you read the docs:

* First, read ``docs/intro/install.txt`` for instructions on installing Django.

* Next, work through the tutorials in order (``docs/intro/tutorial01.txt``,
  ``docs/intro/tutorial02.txt``, etc.).

* If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read
  ``docs/howto/deployment/index.txt`` for instructions.

* You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in ``docs/topics``)
  next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in ``docs/howto``) for specific
  problems, and check out the reference (``docs/ref``) for gory details.

* See ``docs/README`` for instructions on building an HTML version of the docs.

Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think
they should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a
ticket here: https://code.djangoproject.com/newticket
