Django 4.0 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
*Expected December 2021*
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Django 4.0!
|
|
|
|
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-4.0>`, as well as
|
|
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-4.0>` you'll
|
|
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 3.2 or earlier. We've
|
|
:ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
|
|
<deprecated-features-4.0>`.
|
|
|
|
See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
Python compatibility
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Django 4.0 supports Python 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10. We **highly recommend** and only
|
|
officially support the latest release of each series.
|
|
|
|
The Django 3.2.x series is the last to support Python 3.6 and 3.7.
|
|
|
|
.. _whats-new-4.0:
|
|
|
|
What's new in Django 4.0
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Functional unique constraints
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The new :attr:`*expressions <django.db.models.UniqueConstraint.expressions>`
|
|
positional argument of
|
|
:class:`UniqueConstraint() <django.db.models.UniqueConstraint>` enables
|
|
creating functional unique constraints on expressions and database functions.
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
from django.db import models
|
|
from django.db.models import UniqueConstraint
|
|
from django.db.models.functions import Lower
|
|
|
|
|
|
class MyModel(models.Model):
|
|
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
|
|
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
|
|
|
|
class Meta:
|
|
indexes = [
|
|
UniqueConstraint(
|
|
Lower('first_name'),
|
|
Lower('last_name').desc(),
|
|
name='first_last_name_unique',
|
|
),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
Functional unique constraints are added to models using the
|
|
:attr:`Meta.constraints <django.db.models.Options.constraints>` option.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Backwards incompatible changes in 4.0
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Database backend API
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
|
|
backends.
|
|
|
|
* ``DatabaseOperations.year_lookup_bounds_for_date_field()`` and
|
|
``year_lookup_bounds_for_datetime_field()`` methods now take the optional
|
|
``iso_year`` argument in order to support bounds for ISO-8601 week-numbering
|
|
years.
|
|
|
|
:mod:`django.contrib.gis`
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Support for PostGIS 2.3 is removed.
|
|
|
|
Dropped support for PostgreSQL 9.6
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Upstream support for PostgreSQL 9.6 ends in November 2021. Django 4.0 supports
|
|
PostgreSQL 10 and higher.
|
|
|
|
Dropped support for Oracle 12.2 and 18c
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Upstream support for Oracle 12.2 ends in March 2022 and for Oracle 18c it ends
|
|
in June 2021. Django 3.2 will be supported until April 2024. Django 4.0
|
|
officially supports Oracle 19c.
|
|
|
|
.. _csrf-trusted-origins-changes-4.0:
|
|
|
|
``CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS`` changes
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Format change
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Values in the :setting:`CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS` setting must include the scheme
|
|
(e.g. ``'http://'`` or ``'https://'``) instead of only the hostname.
|
|
|
|
Also, values that started with a dot, must now also include an asterisk before
|
|
the dot. For example, change ``'.example.com'`` to ``'https://*.example.com'``.
|
|
|
|
A system check detects any required changes.
|
|
|
|
Configuring it may now be required
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
As CSRF protection now consults the ``Origin`` header, you may need to set
|
|
:setting:`CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS`, particularly if you allow requests from
|
|
subdomains by setting :setting:`CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN` (or
|
|
:setting:`SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN` if :setting:`CSRF_USE_SESSIONS` is enabled) to
|
|
a value starting with a dot.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* Support for ``cx_Oracle`` < 7.0 is removed.
|
|
|
|
* To allow serving a Django site on a subpath without changing the value of
|
|
:setting:`STATIC_URL`, the leading slash is removed from that setting (now
|
|
``'static/'``) in the default :djadmin:`startproject` template.
|
|
|
|
* The :class:`~django.contrib.admin.AdminSite` method for the admin ``index``
|
|
view is no longer decorated with ``never_cache`` when accessed directly,
|
|
rather than via the recommended ``AdminSite.urls`` property, or
|
|
``AdminSite.get_urls()`` method.
|
|
|
|
* Unsupported operations on a sliced queryset now raise ``TypeError`` instead
|
|
of ``AssertionError``.
|
|
|
|
* The undocumented ``django.test.runner.reorder_suite()`` function is renamed
|
|
to ``reorder_tests()``. It now accepts an iterable of tests rather than a
|
|
test suite, and returns an iterator of tests.
|
|
|
|
* Calling ``FileSystemStorage.delete()`` with an empty ``name`` now raises
|
|
``ValueError`` instead of ``AssertionError``.
|
|
|
|
* Calling ``EmailMultiAlternatives.attach_alternative()`` or
|
|
``EmailMessage.attach()`` with an invalid ``content`` or ``mimetype``
|
|
arguments now raise ``ValueError`` instead of ``AssertionError``.
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertHTMLEqual` no longer considers a
|
|
non-boolean attribute without a value equal to an attribute with the same
|
|
name and value.
|
|
|
|
* Tests that fail to load, for example due to syntax errors, now always match
|
|
when using :option:`test --tag`.
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
