#21095: Release notes and documentation don't mention queryset week_day
breakage on
mysql if you haven't loaded tzinfo

When switching to Django 1.6b2, queries such as
{{{MyModel.objects.filter(start_at__week_day=1)}}} started returning empty
querysets. After investigation, it turned out I had to load tzinfo in to
the database, as described at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/models/querysets/#database-time-
zone-definitions. Although the release notes mention this is required for
the new QuerySet.datetimes() functionality, there was nothing mentioning
it was required for using week_day lookups.
As this could break previously working projects with Django 1.5, it should
probably be made clear in the release notes and queryset documentation.
