# Django 1.4.19 release notes

January 27, 2015

Django 1.4.19 fixes a regression in the 1.4.18 security release.

## Bugfixes

- `GZipMiddleware` now supports streaming responses. As part of the 1.4.18 security release, the `django.views.static.serve()` function was altered to stream the files it serves. Unfortunately, the `GZipMiddleware` consumed the stream prematurely and prevented files from being served properly (#24158).
