Comment (by Hiroki Kiyohara):
I understood. You meant the behavior of ``ModelAdmin.get_actions`` has
changed, and it should be described as backward incompatible change.
https://github.com/django/django/blob/2.1a1/django/contrib/admin/options.py#L863-L865
I agree.
We need...
* Writing about it in the release note
* Adding "version changed" note here
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/actions/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.get_actions
Also I agree that the current design is not perfect.
* Actions like "CSV Download" requires only "view" permission, so
disabling all actions by "change" permission does not make sense for me
* Django should notice which permission is required by each actions
