Django Deprecation Timeline
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
This document outlines when various pieces of Django will be removed, following
|
|
their deprecation, as per the :ref:`Django deprecation policy
|
|
<internal-release-deprecation-policy>`
|
|
|
|
* 1.3
|
|
* ``AdminSite.root()``. This release will remove the old method for
|
|
hooking up admin URLs. This has been deprecated since the 1.1
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
* Authentication backends need to define the boolean attributes
|
|
``supports_object_permissions`` and ``supports_anonymous_user``.
|
|
The old backend style is deprecated since the 1.2 release.
|
|
|
|
* The :mod:`django.contrib.gis.db.backend` module, including the
|
|
``SpatialBackend`` interface, is deprecated since the 1.2 release.
|
|
|
|
* 1.4
|
|
* ``CsrfResponseMiddleware``. This has been deprecated since the 1.2
|
|
release, in favour of the template tag method for inserting the CSRF
|
|
token. ``CsrfMiddleware``, which combines ``CsrfResponseMiddleware``
|
|
and ``CsrfViewMiddleware``, is also deprecated.
|
|
|
|
* The old imports for CSRF functionality (``django.contrib.csrf.*``),
|
|
which moved to core in 1.2, will be removed.
|
|
|
|
* ``SMTPConnection``. The 1.2 release deprecated the ``SMTPConnection``
|
|
class in favor of a generic E-mail backend API.
|
|
|
|
* The many to many SQL generation functions on the database backends
|
|
will be removed.
|
|
|
|
* The ability to use the ``DATABASE_*`` family of top-level settings to
|
|
define database connections will be removed.
|
|
|
|
* The ability to use shorthand notation to specify a database backend
|
|
(i.e., ``sqlite3`` instead of ``django.db.backends.sqlite3``) will be
|
|
removed.
|
|
|
|
* The ``get_db_prep_save``, ``get_db_prep_value`` and
|
|
``get_db_prep_lookup`` methods on Field were modified in 1.2 to support
|
|
multiple databases. In 1.4, the support functions that allow methods
|
|
with the old prototype to continue working will be removed.
|
|
|
|
* The ``Message`` model (in ``django.contrib.auth``), its related
|
|
manager in the ``User`` model (``user.message_set``), and the
|
|
associated methods (``user.message_set.create()`` and
|
|
``user.get_and_delete_messages()``), which have
|
|
been deprecated since the 1.2 release, will be removed. The
|
|
:ref:`messages framework <ref-contrib-messages>` should be used
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
* Authentication backends need to support the ``obj`` parameter for
|
|
permission checking. The ``supports_object_permissions`` variable
|
|
is not checked any longer and can be removed.
|
|
|
|
* Authentication backends need to support the ``AnonymousUser``
|
|
being passed to all methods dealing with permissions.
|
|
The ``supports_anonymous_user`` variable is not checked any
|
|
longer and can be removed.
|
|
|
|
* The ability to specify a callable template loader rather than a
|
|
``Loader`` class will be removed, as will the ``load_template_source``
|
|
functions that are included with the built in template loaders for
|
|
backwards compatibility. These have been deprecated since the 1.2
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
* ``django.utils.translation.get_date_formats()`` and
|
|
``django.utils.translation.get_partial_date_formats()``. These
|
|
functions are replaced by the new locale aware formatting; use
|
|
``django.utils.formats.get_format()`` to get the appropriate
|
|
formats.
|
|
|
|
* In ``django.forms.fields``: ``DEFAULT_DATE_INPUT_FORMATS``,
|
|
``DEFAULT_TIME_INPUT_FORMATS`` and
|
|
``DEFAULT_DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS``. Use
|
|
``django.utils.formats.get_format()`` to get the appropriate
|
|
formats.
|
|
|
|
* The ability to use a function-based test runners will be removed,
|
|
along with the ``django.test.simple.run_tests()`` test runner.
|
|
|
|
* The ``views.feed()`` view and ``feeds.Feed`` class in
|
|
``django.contrib.syndication`` have been deprecated since the 1.2
|
|
release. The class-based view ``views.Feed`` should be used instead.
|
|
|
|
* ``django.core.context_processors.auth``. This release will
|
|
remove the old method in favor of the new method in
|
|
``django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth``. This has been
|
|
deprecated since the 1.2 release.
|
|
|
|
* The ``postgresql`` database backend has been deprecated in favor of
|
|
the ``postgresql_psycopg2`` backend.
|
|
|
|
* The ``no`` language code has been deprecated in favor of the ``nb``
|
|
language code.
|
|
|
|
* 2.0
|
|
* ``django.views.defaults.shortcut()``. This function has been moved
|
|
to ``django.contrib.contenttypes.views.shortcut()`` as part of the
|
|
goal of removing all ``django.contrib`` references from the core
|
|
Django codebase. The old shortcut will be removed in the 2.0
|
|
release.
