Whitenoise

------------------

* Fix compression speed gains for the thread pool when running Django’s ``collectstatic``.
The thread pool had no effect due to use of a generator for the results, a refactoring introduced when reviewing the initial PR.

Thanks to Petr Přikryl for the investigation and fix in `PR 616 <https://github.com/evansd/whitenoise/pull/616>`__.

------------------

* Raise any errors from threads in the ``whitenoise.compress`` command.

Regression in 6.8.0.
Thanks to Tom Grainger for the spotting this with a `comment on PR 484 <https://github.com/evansd/whitenoise/pull/484#discussion_r1818989096>`__.

------------------

* Drop Django 3.2 to 4.1 support.

* Drop Python 3.8 support.

* Support Python 3.13.

* Fix a bug introduced in version 6.0.0 where ``Range`` requests could lead to database connection errors in other requests.

Thanks to Per Myren for the detailed investigation and fix in `PR 612 <https://github.com/evansd/whitenoise/pull/612>`__.

* Use Django’s |FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME|__ setting correctly.
This reverts a change from version 5.3.0 that added a call to Django’s |get_script_prefix() method|__ outside of the request-response cycle.

.. |FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME| replace:: ``FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME``

.. |get_script_prefix() method| replace:: ``get_script_prefix()`` method

Thanks to Sarah Boyce in `PR 486 <https://github.com/evansd/whitenoise/pull/486>`__.
