# Django 1.9.8 release notes

*July 18, 2016*

Django 1.9.8 fixes a security issue and several bugs in 1.9.7.

## XSS in admin’s add/change related popup

Unsafe usage of JavaScript’s `Element.innerHTML` could result in XSS in the
admin’s add/change related popup. `Element.textContent` is now used to
prevent execution of the data.

The debug view also used `innerHTML`. Although a security issue wasn’t
identified there, out of an abundance of caution it’s also updated to use
`textContent`.

## Bugfixes

- Fixed missing `varchar/text_pattern_ops` index on `CharField` and
  `TextField` respectively when using `AddField` on PostgreSQL
  ([#26889](https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26889)).
- Fixed `makemessages` crash on Python 2 with non-ASCII file names
  ([#26897](https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26897)).
