Refs #35514 -- Added warn_about_external_use() deprecation utility.

2026-04-28T00:58:06Z

Implemented a new `warn_about_external_use()` helper to conditionally issue warnings depending on whether a deprecated feature is used from within Django. Fixed `LazySettings._show_deprecation_warning()` (Refs #26029) to work correctly when called from anywhere in `LazySettings`. Previously, it assumed a specific code path through `LazyObject.__getattribute__()` and an `@property` getter on `LazySettings`.

Fixed #35870 -- Made blank choice label in forms more accessible.

2026-04-22T21:06:29Z

Added new constant django.db.models.fields.BLANK_CHOICE_LABEL for an accessible and translatable blank choice label in forms. Deprecated django.db.models.fields.BLANK_CHOICE_DASH constant. Added the immediately deprecated transitional setting USE_BLANK_CHOICE_DASH. Co-Authored-By: Marijke Luttekes
