According to the release docs for 1.11 any call to `render()` on a
`Template` object you need to pass a `dict`
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/releases/1.11/#django-template-
render-prohibits-non-dict-context
I have code that originally passes a `Context` object.
Upgrading to 1.11 from 1.10 and changing it to a `dict` causes this error
`'dict' object has no attribute 'render_context'`
Looking at Django code the error occurs at
https://github.com/django/django/blob/1.11/django/template/base.py#L203
I believe this code still expects a `Context` object.

Comment:
This is a confusion between `django.template.backends.django.Template`,
which the release notes are meant to refer to, and
`django.template.base.Template`. I'll clarify the release notes.
