28082	Pull request #8364: BaseDateListView should pass all context to subclasses	Leon Matthews	nobody	"Pass the extra_content from get_dated_items() as kwargs into get_context_data() to allow users access to it.

BaseDateListView.get() currently modifies the context after calling get_context_data(), which prevents users from access those data in their base classes. I ran into this suprising quirk when I wanted to access the current month in my MonthArchiveView subclass's get_context_data().

I have created a GitHub pull request https://github.com/django/django/pull/8364

(To really tidy things up, we could have all instances get_dated_items() return a single dictionary that we pass to get_context_data as kwargs, but I am a realist on occasion...)"	Cleanup/optimization	new	Generic views	dev	Normal		BaseDateListView		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
