Field.rel is now deprecated. Rel objects have now also remote_field
attribute. This means that self == self.remote_field.remote_field.
In addition, made the Rel objects a bit more like Field objects. Still,
marked ManyToManyFields as null=True.
Returning None on errors required unpythonic error checking and was
inconsistent with get_app_config.
get_model was a private API until the previous commit, but given that it
was certainly used in third party software, the change is explained in
the release notes.
Applied the same change to get_registered_model, which is a new private
API introduced during the recent refactoring.
Since the original ones in django.db.models.loading were kept only for
backwards compatibility, there's no need to recreate them. However, many
internals of Django still relied on them.
They were also imported in django.db.models. They never appear in the
documentation, except a quick mention of get_models and get_app in the
1.2 release notes to document an edge case in GIS. I don't think that
makes them a public API.
This commit doesn't change the overall amount of global state but
clarifies that it's tied to the app_cache object instead of hiding it
behind half a dozen functions.
Added ``--natural-foreign`` and ``--natural-primary`` options and
deprecated the ``--natural`` option to the ``dumpdata`` management
command.
Added ``use_natural_foreign_keys`` and ``use_natural_primary_keys``
arguments and deprecated the ``use_natural_keys`` argument to
``django.core.serializers.Serializer.serialize()``.
Thanks SmileyChris for the suggestion.
* Renamed smart_unicode to smart_text (but kept the old name under
Python 2 for backwards compatibility).
* Renamed smart_str to smart_bytes.
* Re-introduced smart_str as an alias for smart_text under Python 3
and smart_bytes under Python 2 (which is backwards compatible).
Thus smart_str always returns a str objects.
* Used the new smart_str in a few places where both Python 2 and 3
want a str.
This monster of a patch is the result of Alex Gaynor's 2009 Google Summer of Code project.
Congratulations to Alex for a job well done.
Big thanks also go to:
* Justin Bronn for keeping GIS in line with the changes,
* Karen Tracey and Jani Tiainen for their help testing Oracle support
* Brett Hoerner, Jon Loyens, and Craig Kimmerer for their feedback.
* Malcolm Treddinick for his guidance during the GSoC submission process.
* Simon Willison for driving the original design process
* Cal Henderson for complaining about ponies he wanted.
... and everyone else too numerous to mention that helped to bring this feature into fruition.
