* Fixed a regression in Django 4.2.5 where overriding the deprecated
``DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE`` and ``STATICFILES_STORAGE`` settings in tests caused
the main ``STORAGES`` to mutate (:ticket:`34821`).
+
+* Fixed a regression in Django 4.2 that caused unnecessary casting of string
+ based fields (``CharField``, ``EmailField``, ``TextField``, ``CICharField``,
+ ``CIEmailField``, and ``CITextField``) used with the ``__isnull`` lookup on
+ PostgreSQL. As a consequence, the pre-Django 4.2 indexes didn't match and
+ were not used by the query planner (:ticket:`34840`).
+
+ You may need to recreate indexes propagated to the database with Django
+ 4.2 - 4.2.5 as they contain unnecessary ``::text`` casting that is avoided as
+ of this release.
