Refs #20936 -- When logging out/ending a session, don't create a new, empty session. Previously, when logging out, the existing session was overwritten by a new sessionid instead of deleting the session altogether. This behavior added overhead by creating a new session record in whichever backend was in use: db, cache, etc. This extra session is unnecessary at the time since no session data is meant to be preserved when explicitly logging out. Backport of 393c0e24223c701edeb8ce7dc9d0f852f0c081ad, 088579638b160f3716dc81d194be70c72743593f, and 2dee853ed4def42b7ef1b3b472b395055543cc00 from master Thanks Florian Apolloner and Carl Meyer for review. This is a security fix.
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
