4.2.4

Most important changes:

• This version add Mypy 1.5.* support and update [compatible-mypy] extra to use 1.5.*.
• We also update our stubs to be compatible with Django 4.2.5 (and all prior versions of 4.2).
• django_stubs_ext/ folder was renamed to be just ext/, it should not affect users (unless you install it from git)
• We no longer assume the objects attribute to be present on generic Model classes. As per the django documentation, code working with generic models should use the _default_manager attribute instead.

This time there is no corresponding release of django-stubs-ext.

Plugin changes

• We now forbid to instantiate abstract models #1663 @flaeppe
• Manager attributes are now ClassVars #1672 @flaeppe

Thanks a lot to all contributors and maintainers! 🎉

1.15.0

Some re-exports that were unintentional have been removed. If you get errors like error: Module "django.core.cache" has no attribute "ConnectionProxy" (for any import path), you probably need to change the module you are importing e.g. ConnectionProxy from. These re-exports were never intentional and are not stable across Django versions.
