32744	Template changes cause dev server to reload	Ryan P Kilby	Hasan Ramezani	"Django 3.2 has changed the autoreload behavior of the dev server, and it now reloads on template file changes. Reverting to 3.1 fixes the issue. I believe this is related to #25791 and https://github.com/django/django/pull/12928

Template settings:
{{{#!div style=""font-size: 90%""
{{{#!python 
DEBUG = True

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        ""BACKEND"": ""django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates"",
        ""DIRS"": [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ""templates"")],
        ""APP_DIRS"": True,
        ""OPTIONS"": {
            ""debug"": DEBUG,
            ""context_processors"": [
                ""django.template.context_processors.debug"",
                ""django.template.context_processors.request"",
                ""django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth"",
                ""django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages"",
            ],
        },
    },
]
}}}
}}}

Given that it can take several seconds for the dev server to reload, this change can be disruptive to template authoring."	Bug	closed	Template system	3.2	Release blocker	fixed	autoreload	Ryan P Kilby Tom Forbes	Accepted	1	0	0	1	0	0
