Bug Fixes

• FIX: AttributeError on .explain() for Django 4.0+ (FIX: AttributeError on .explain() for Django 4.0+  #524, closes explain_format missing in self.query causes django admin app to not work properly #409)

  • handle_datetimeoffset now correctly parses the timezone offset from SQL Server binary data, returning timezone-aware datetimes for DATETIMEOFFSET columns.
  • Now() now emits SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() when USE_TZ=True, fixing incorrect timestamps on non-UTC SQL Server hosts.
