(Bug #72493, Bug #18694096) * Fetching results from a prepared statement that returned many columns could produce an error. (Bug #72602, Bug #18742429) * Previously, a RuntimeError exception was raised when a Django application was inactive for a while. Now, the Django backend verifies that the database connection is still valid each time a database request is made. (Bug #72545, Bug #18843153) * Django TimeField values of 00:00:00 were incorrectly converted to NULL because Python considered that value equal to False. (Bug #72732, Bug #18956789) * An exception was raised when a cursor tried to convert LINESTRING data as UTF-8 data. Now such values are returned without decoding. (Bug #73187, Bug #19164627) * With Python 2, Connector/Python could truncate digits of floating-point values.
