You might have to update your code to limit bytestring usage to a minimum, as Django no longer accepts bytestrings in certain code paths. +For example, ``reverse()`` now uses ``str()`` instead of ``force_text()`` to +coerce the ``args`` and ``kwargs`` it receives, prior to their placement in +the URL. For bytestrings, this creates a string with an undesired ``b`` prefix +as well as additional quotes (``str(b'foo')`` is ``"b'foo'"``).
