February 5, 2025

Django 5.1.6 fixes several bugs in 5.1.5.

## Bugfixes

- Fixed a regression in Django 5.1.5 that caused `validate_ipv6_address()` and `validate_ipv46_address()` to crash when handling non-string values (#36098).

- Fixed a regression in Django 5.1 where password fields, despite being set to `required=False`, were still treated as required in forms derived from `BaseUserCreationForm` (#36140).
