MigrationRecorder now assumes that if the django_migrations table
doesn't exist, then no migrations are applied.
Reverted documentation change from refs #23808.
The change partly goes back to the old behavior for forwards migrations
which should reduce the amount of memory consumption (#24745). However,
by the way the current state computation is done (there is no
`state_backwards` on a migration class) this change cannot be applied to
backwards migrations. Hence rolling back migrations still requires the
precomputation and storage of the intermediate migration states.
This improvement also implies that Django does not handle mixed
migration plans anymore. Mixed plans consist of a list of migrations
where some are being applied and others are being unapplied.
Thanks Andrew Godwin, Josh Smeaton and Tim Graham for the review as well
as everybody involved on the ticket that kept me looking into the issue.
The new attribute is checked when the `migrate --fake-initial` option
is used. initial will be set to True for all initial migrations (this
is particularly useful when initial migrations are split) as well as
for squashed migrations.
Calling Migration.mutate_state() now also allows to do in_place
mutations in case an intermediate state is thrown away later.
Thanks Anssi Kääriäinen for the idea, Ryan Hall for parts of the patch,
and Claude Paroz and Tim Graham for the review
Switched from an adjancency list and uncached, iterative depth-first
search to a Node-based design with direct parent/child links and a
cached, recursive depth-first search. With this change, calculating
a migration plan for a large graph takes several seconds instead of
several hours.
Marked test `migrations.test_graph.GraphTests.test_dfs` as an expected
failure due to reaching the maximum recursion depth.
Previously Django only checked for the table name in CreateModel
operations in initial migrations and faked the migration automatically.
This led to various errors and unexpected behavior. The newly introduced
--fake-initial flag to the migrate command must be passed to get the
same behavior again. With this change Django will bail out in with a
"duplicate relation / table" error instead.
Thanks Carl Meyer and Tim Graham for the documentation update, report
and review.
The last component of the dotted path to the application module is
consistently referenced as the application "label". For instance it's
AppConfig.label. appname could be confused with AppConfig.name, which is
the full dotted path.
