Django 1.6 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
============================================
Welcome to Django 1.6!
These release notes cover the `new features`_, as well as some `backwards
incompatible changes`_ you'll want to be aware of when upgrading from Django
1.5 or older versions. We've also dropped some features, which are detailed in
:doc:`our deprecation plan </internals/deprecation>`, and we've `begun the
deprecation process for some features`_.

========================
Simplified default project template. Squashed commit of: commit 508ec9144b35c50794708225b496bde1eb5e60aa Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Jan 29 22:50:55 2013 +0100 Tweaked default settings file. * Explained why BASE_DIR exists. * Added a link to the database configuration options, and put it in its own section. * Moved sensitive settings that must be changed for production at the top. commit 6515fd2f1aa73a86dc8dbd2ccf512ddb6b140d57 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Jan 29 14:35:21 2013 +0100 Documented the simplified app & project templates in the changelog. commit 2c5b576c2ea91d84273a019b3d0b3b8b4da72f23 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Jan 29 13:59:27 2013 +0100 Minor fixes in tutorials 5 and 6. commit 55a51531be8104f21b3cca3f6bf70b0a7139a041 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Jan 29 13:51:11 2013 +0100 Updated tutorial 2 for the new project template. commit 29ddae87bdaecff12dd31b16b000c01efbde9e20 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Jan 29 11:58:54 2013 +0100 Updated tutorial 1 for the new project template. commit 0ecb9f6e2514cfd26a678a280d471433375101a3 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Jan 29 11:29:13 2013 +0100 Adjusted the default URLconf detection to account for the admin. It's now enabled by default. commit 5fb4da0d3d09dac28dd94e3fde92b9d4335c0565 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Jan 29 10:36:55 2013 +0100 Added security warnings for the most sensitive settings. commit 718d84bd8ac4a42fb4b28ec93965de32680f091e Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 23:24:06 2013 +0100 Used an absolute path for the SQLite database. This ensures the settings file works regardless of which directory django-admin.py / manage.py is invoked from. BASE_DIR got a +1 from a BDFL and another core dev. It doesn't involve the concept of a "Django project"; it's just a convenient way to express relative paths within the source code repository for non-Python files. Thanks Jacob Kaplan-Moss for the suggestion. commit 1b559b4bcda622e10909b68fe5cab90db6727dd9 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 23:22:40 2013 +0100 Removed STATIC_ROOT from the default settings template. It isn't necessary in development, and it confuses beginners to no end. Thanks Carl Meyer for the suggestion. commit a55f141a500bb7c9a1bc259bbe1954c13b199671 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 23:21:43 2013 +0100 Removed MEDIA_ROOT/URL from default settings template. Many sites will never deal with user-uploaded files, and MEDIA_ROOT is complicated to explain. Thanks Carl Meyer for the suggestion. commit 44bf2f2441420fd9429ee9fe1f7207f92dd87e70 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 22:22:09 2013 +0100 Removed logging config. This configuration is applied regardless of the value of LOGGING; duplicating it in LOGGING is confusing. commit eac747e848eaed65fd5f6f254f0a7559d856f88f Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 22:05:31 2013 +0100 Enabled the locale middleware by default. USE_I18N is True by default, and doesn't work well without LocaleMiddleware. commit d806c62b2d00826dc2688c84b092627b8d571cab Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 22:03:16 2013 +0100 Enabled clickjacking protection by default. commit 99152c30e6a15003f0b6737dc78e87adf462aacb Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 22:01:48 2013 +0100 Reorganized settings in logical sections, and trimmed comments. commit d37ffdfcb24b7e0ec7cc113d07190f65fb12fb8a Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 16:54:11 2013 +0100 Avoided misleading TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG. According to the docs TEMPLATE_DEBUG works only when DEBUG = True. commit 15d9478d3a9850e85841e7cf09cf83050371c6bf Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 16:46:25 2013 +0100 Removed STATICFILES_FINDERS/TEMPLATE_LOADERS from default settings file. Only developers with special needs ever need to change these settings. commit 574da0eb5bfb4570883756914b4dbd7e20e1f61e Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 16:45:01 2013 +0100 Removed STATICFILES/TEMPLATES_DIRS from default settings file. The current best practice is to put static files and templates in applications, for easier testing and deployment. commit 8cb18dbe56629aa1be74718a07e7cc66b4f9c9f0 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 16:24:16 2013 +0100 Removed settings related to email reporting from default settings file. While handy for small scale projects, it isn't exactly a best practice. commit 8ecbfcb3638058f0c49922540f874a7d802d864f Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Jan 29 18:54:43 2013 +0100 Documented how to enable the sites framework. commit 23fc91a6fa67d91ddd9d71b1c3e0dc26bdad9841 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 16:28:59 2013 +0100 Disabled the sites framework by default. RequestSite does the job for single-domain websites. commit c4d82eb8afc0eb8568bf9c4d12644272415e3960 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Jan 29 00:08:33 2013 +0100 Added a default admin.py to the application template. Thanks Ryan D Hiebert for the suggestion. commit 4071dc771e5c44b1c5ebb9beecefb164ae465e22 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 10:59:49 2013 +0100 Enabled the admin by default. Everyone uses the admin. commit c807a31f8d89e7e7fd97380e3023f7983a8b6fcb Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 10:57:05 2013 +0100 Removed admindocs from default project template. commit 09e4ce0e652a97da1a9e285046a91c8ad7a9189c Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 16:32:52 2013 +0100 Added links to the settings documentation. commit 5b8f5eaef364eb790fcde6f9e86f7d266074cca8 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 11:06:54 2013 +0100 Used a significant example for URLconf includes. commit 908e91d6fcee2a3cb51ca26ecdf12a6a24e69ef8 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 16:22:31 2013 +0100 Moved code comments about WSGI to docs, and rewrote said docs. commit 50417e51996146f891d08ca8b74dcc736a581932 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Jan 28 15:51:50 2013 +0100 Normalized the default application template. Removed the default test that 1 + 1 = 2, because it's been committed way too many times, in too many projects. Added an import of `render` for views, because the first view will often be: def home(request): return render(request, "mysite/home.html")
2013-01-28 22:51:50 +08:00
Simplified default project and app templates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The default templates used by :djadmin:`startproject` and :djadmin:`startapp`
have been simplified and modernized. The :doc:`admin
</ref/contrib/admin/index>` is now enabled by default in new projects; the
:doc:`sites </ref/contrib/sites>` framework no longer is. :ref:`Language
detection <how-django-discovers-language-preference>` and :ref:`clickjacking
prevention <clickjacking-prevention>` are turned on.
If the default templates don't suit your tastes, you can use :ref:`custom
project and app templates <custom-app-and-project-templates>`.
Improved transaction management
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Django's transaction management was overhauled. Database-level autocommit is
now turned on by default. This makes transaction handling more explicit and
should improve performance. The existing APIs were deprecated, and new APIs
were introduced, as described in the :doc:`transaction management docs
</topics/db/transactions>`.
Please review carefully the list of :ref:`known backwards-incompatibilities
<transactions-upgrading-from-1.5>` to determine if you need to make changes in
your code.
Persistent database connections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Django now supports reusing the same database connection for several requests.
This avoids the overhead of re-establishing a connection at the beginning of
each request.
By default, database connections will kept open for 10 minutes. This behavior
is controlled by the :setting:`CONN_MAX_AGE` setting. To restore the previous
behavior of closing the connection at the end of each request, set
:setting:`CONN_MAX_AGE` to ``0``. See :ref:`persistent-database-connections`
for details.
Fixed #17260 -- Added time zone aware aggregation and lookups. Thanks Carl Meyer for the review. Squashed commit of the following: commit 4f290bdb60b7d8534abf4ca901bd0844612dcbda Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Wed Feb 13 21:21:30 2013 +0100 Used '0:00' instead of 'UTC' which doesn't always exist in Oracle. Thanks Ian Kelly for the suggestion. commit 01b6366f3ce67d57a58ca8f25e5be77911748638 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Wed Feb 13 13:38:43 2013 +0100 Made tzname a parameter of datetime_extract/trunc_sql. This is required to work around a bug in Oracle. commit 924a144ef8a80ba4daeeafbe9efaa826566e9d02 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Wed Feb 13 14:47:44 2013 +0100 Added support for parameters in SELECT clauses. commit b4351d2890cd1090d3ff2d203fe148937324c935 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Feb 11 22:30:22 2013 +0100 Documented backwards incompatibilities in the two previous commits. commit 91ef84713c81bd455f559dacf790e586d08cacb9 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Feb 11 09:42:31 2013 +0100 Used QuerySet.datetimes for the admin's date_hierarchy. commit 0d0de288a5210fa106cd4350961eb2006535cc5c Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Feb 11 09:29:38 2013 +0100 Used QuerySet.datetimes in date-based generic views. commit 9c0859ff7c0b00734afe7fc15609d43d83215072 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Sun Feb 10 21:43:25 2013 +0100 Implemented QuerySet.datetimes on Oracle. commit 68ab511a4ffbd2b811bf5da174d47e4dd90f28fc Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Sun Feb 10 21:43:14 2013 +0100 Implemented QuerySet.datetimes on MySQL. commit 22d52681d347a8cdf568dc31ed032cbc61d049ef Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Sun Feb 10 21:42:29 2013 +0100 Implemented QuerySet.datetimes on SQLite. commit f6800fd04c93722b45f9236976389e0b2fe436f5 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Sun Feb 10 21:43:03 2013 +0100 Implemented QuerySet.datetimes on PostgreSQL. commit 0c829c23f4cf4d6804cadcc93032dd4c26b8c65e Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Sun Feb 10 21:41:08 2013 +0100 Added datetime-handling infrastructure in the ORM layers. commit 104d82a7778cf3f0f5d03dfa53709c26df45daad Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Mon Feb 11 10:05:55 2013 +0100 Updated null_queries tests to avoid clashing with the __second lookup. commit c01bbb32358201b3ac8cb4291ef87b7612a2b8e6 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Sun Feb 10 23:07:41 2013 +0100 Updated tests of .dates().

2013-02-10 23:15:49 +08:00
Time zone aware aggregation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The support for :doc:`time zones </topics/i18n/timezones>` introduced in
Django 1.4 didn't work well with :meth:`QuerySet.dates()
<django.db.models.query.QuerySet.dates>`: aggregation was always performed in
UTC. This limitation was lifted in Django 1.6. Use :meth:`QuerySet.datetimes()
<django.db.models.query.QuerySet.datetimes>` to perform time zone aware
aggregation on a :class:`~django.db.models.DateTimeField`.
Support for savepoints in SQLite
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Django 1.6 adds support for savepoints in SQLite, with some :ref:`limitations
<savepoints-in-sqlite>`.
``BinaryField`` model field
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A new :class:`django.db.models.BinaryField` model field allows to store raw
binary data in the database.
Minor features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Authentication backends can raise ``PermissionDenied`` to immediately fail
the authentication chain.
* The HttpOnly flag can be set on the CSRF cookie with
:setting:`CSRF_COOKIE_HTTPONLY`.
* The ``assertQuerysetEqual()`` now checks for undefined order and raises
``ValueError`` if undefined order is spotted. The order is seen as
undefined if the given ``QuerySet`` isn't ordered and there are more than
one ordered values to compare against.
* Added :meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.earliest` for symmetry with
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.latest`.

now supports :lookup:`hour`, :lookup:`minute` and :lookup:`second` lookups.
Refactored database exceptions wrapping. Squashed commit of the following: commit 2181d833ed1a2e422494738dcef311164c4e097e Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Wed Feb 27 14:28:39 2013 +0100 Fixed #15901 -- Wrapped all PEP-249 exceptions. commit 5476a5d93c19aa2f928c497d39ce6e33f52694e2 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Feb 26 17:26:52 2013 +0100 Added PEP 3134 exception chaining. Thanks Jacob Kaplan-Moss for the suggestion. commit 9365fad0a650328002fb424457d675a273c95802 Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Feb 26 17:13:49 2013 +0100 Improved API for wrapping database errors. Thanks Alex Gaynor for the proposal. commit 1b463b765f2826f73a8d9266795cd5da4f8d5e9e Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Feb 26 15:00:39 2013 +0100 Removed redundant exception wrapping. This is now taken care of by the cursor wrapper. commit 524bc7345a724bf526bdd2dd1bcf5ede67d6bb5c Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Feb 26 14:55:10 2013 +0100 Wrapped database exceptions in the base backend. This covers the most common PEP-249 APIs: - Connection APIs: close(), commit(), rollback(), cursor() - Cursor APIs: callproc(), close(), execute(), executemany(), fetchone(), fetchmany(), fetchall(), nextset(). Fixed #19920. commit a66746bb5f0839f35543222787fce3b6a0d0a3ea Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org> Date: Tue Feb 26 14:53:34 2013 +0100 Added a wrap_database_exception context manager and decorator. It re-throws backend-specific exceptions using Django's common wrappers.
2013-02-26 21:53:34 +08:00
* Django now wraps all PEP-249 exceptions.
* The default widgets for :class:`~django.forms.EmailField`,
:class:`~django.forms.URLField`, :class:`~django.forms.IntegerField`,
:class:`~django.forms.FloatField` and :class:`~django.forms.DecimalField` use
the new type attributes available in HTML5 (type='email', type='url',
type='number'). Note that due to erratic support of the ``number`` input type
with localized numbers in current browsers, Django only uses it when numeric
fields are not localized.
* The ``number`` argument for :ref:`lazy plural translations
<lazy-plural-translations>` can be provided at translation time rather than
at definition time.
* For custom management commands: Verification of the presence of valid
settings in commands that ask for it by using the
:attr:`~django.core.management.BaseCommand.can_import_settings` internal
option is now performed independently from handling of the locale that
should be active during the execution of the command. The latter can now be
influenced by the new
:attr:`~django.core.management.BaseCommand.leave_locale_alone` internal
option. See :ref:`management-commands-and-locales` for more details.
* The :attr:`~django.views.generic.edit.DeletionMixin.success_url` of
:class:`~django.views.generic.edit.DeletionMixin` is now interpolated with
its ``object``\'s ``__dict__``.
* :class:`~django.http.HttpResponseRedirect` and
:class:`~django.http.HttpResponsePermanentRedirect` now provide an ``url``
attribute (equivalent to the URL the response will redirect to).
* The ``MemcachedCache`` cache backend now uses the latest :mod:`pickle`
protocol available.
* Added :class:`~django.contrib.messages.views.SuccessMessageMixin` which
provides a ``success_message`` attribute for
:class:`~django.view.generic.edit.FormView` based classes.
* Added the :attr:`django.db.models.ForeignKey.db_constraint` and
:attr:`django.db.models.ManyToManyField.db_constraint` options.
2013-02-23 04:52:20 +08:00
* The jQuery library embedded in the admin has been upgraded to version 1.9.1.
* Syndication feeds (:mod:`django.contrib.syndication`) can now pass extra
context through to feed templates using a new `Feed.get_context_data()`
callback.
* The admin list columns have a ``column-<field_name>`` class in the HTML
so the columns header can be styled with CSS, e.g. to set a column width.
* The isolation level can be customized under PostgreSQL.
* The :ttag:`blocktrans` template tag now respects
:setting:`TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID` for variables not present in the
context, just like other template constructs.
* SimpleLazyObjects will now present more helpful representations in shell
debugging situations.
* Generic :class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.GeometryField` is now editable
with the OpenLayers widget in the admin.
* The :meth:`Model.save() <django.db.models.Model.save()>` will do
``UPDATE`` - if not updated - ``INSERT`` instead of ``SELECT`` - if not
found ``INSERT`` else ``UPDATE`` in case the model's primary key is set.
* The documentation contains a :doc:`deployment checklist
</howto/deployment/checklist>`.
* The :djadmin:`diffsettings` comand gained a ``--all`` option.
* :func:`django.forms.fields.Field.__init__` now calls ``super()``, allowing
field mixins to implement ``__init__()`` methods that will reliably be
called.
Fixed #20084 -- Provided option to validate formset max_num on server. This is provided as a new "validate_max" formset_factory option defaulting to False, since the non-validating behavior of max_num is longstanding, and there is certainly code relying on it. (In fact, even the Django admin relies on it for the case where there are more existing inlines than the given max_num). It may be that at some point we want to deprecate validate_max=False and eventually remove the option, but this commit takes no steps in that direction. This also fixes the DoS-prevention absolute_max enforcement so that it causes a form validation error rather than an IndexError, and ensures that absolute_max is always 1000 more than max_num, to prevent surprising changes in behavior with max_num close to absolute_max. Lastly, this commit fixes the previous inconsistency between a regular formset and a model formset in the precedence of max_num and initial data. Previously in a regular formset, if the provided initial data was longer than max_num, it was truncated; in a model formset, all initial forms would be displayed regardless of max_num. Now regular formsets are the same as model formsets; all initial forms are displayed, even if more than max_num. (But if validate_max is True, submitting these forms will result in a "too many forms" validation error!) This combination of behaviors was chosen to keep the max_num validation simple and consistent, and avoid silent data loss due to truncation of initial data. Thanks to Preston for discussion of the design choices.

* The ``validate_max`` parameter was added to ``BaseFormSet`` and
:func:`~django.forms.formsets.formset_factory`, and ``ModelForm`` and inline
versions of the same. The behavior of validation for formsets with
``max_num`` was clarified. The previously undocumented behavior that
hardened formsets against memory exhaustion attacks was documented,
and the undocumented limit of the higher of 1000 or ``max_num`` forms
was changed so it is always 1000 more than ``max_num``.
Backwards incompatible changes in 1.6
=====================================
.. warning::
In addition to the changes outlined in this section, be sure to review the
:doc:`deprecation plan </internals/deprecation>` for any features that
have been removed. If you haven't updated your code within the
deprecation timeline for a given feature, its removal may appear as a
backwards incompatible change.
New transaction management model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Behavior changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Database-level autocommit is enabled by default in Django 1.6. While this
doesn't change the general spirit of Django's transaction management, there
are a few known backwards-incompatibities, described in the :ref:`transaction
management docs <transactions-upgrading-from-1.5>`. You should review your
code to determine if you're affected.
Savepoints and ``assertNumQueries``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The changes in transaction management may result in additional statements to
create, release or rollback savepoints. This is more likely to happen with
SQLite, since it didn't support savepoints until this release.
If tests using :meth:`~django.test.TestCase.assertNumQueries` fail because of
a higher number of queries than expected, check that the extra queries are
related to savepoints, and adjust the expected number of queries accordingly.
Autocommit option for PostgreSQL
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In previous versions, database-level autocommit was only an option for
PostgreSQL, and it was disabled by default. This option is now :ref:`ignored
<postgresql-autocommit-mode>` and can be removed.
Addition of ``QuerySet.datetimes()``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the :doc:`time zone support </topics/i18n/timezones>` added in Django 1.4
was active, :meth:`QuerySet.dates() <django.db.models.query.QuerySet.dates>`
lookups returned unexpected results, because the aggregation was performed in
UTC. To fix this, Django 1.6 introduces a new API, :meth:`QuerySet.datetimes()
<django.db.models.query.QuerySet.datetimes>`. This requires a few changes in
your code.
``QuerySet.dates()`` returns ``date`` objects
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
:meth:`QuerySet.dates() <django.db.models.query.QuerySet.dates>` now returns a
list of :class:`~datetime.date`. It used to return a list of
:class:`~datetime.datetime`.
:meth:`QuerySet.datetimes() <django.db.models.query.QuerySet.datetimes>`
returns a list of :class:`~datetime.datetime`.

2013-02-10 23:15:49 +08:00
The :attr:`~django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.date_hierarchy` feature of the
admin now relies on :meth:`QuerySet.datetimes()
<django.db.models.query.QuerySet.datetimes>` when it's used on a
:class:`~django.db.models.DateTimeField`.

This requires time zone definitions in the database when :setting:`USE_TZ` is
``True``. :ref:`Learn more <database-time-zone-definitions>`.
``date_list`` in generic views requires time zone definitions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For the same reason, accessing ``date_list`` in the context of a date-based
generic view requires time zone definitions in the database when the view is
based on a :class:`~django.db.models.DateTimeField` and :setting:`USE_TZ` is
``True``. :ref:`Learn more <database-time-zone-definitions>`.
New lookups may clash with model fields
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Django 1.6 introduces ``hour``, ``minute``, and ``second`` lookups on
:class:`~django.db.models.DateTimeField`. If you had model fields called
``hour``, ``minute``, or ``second``, the new lookups will clash with you field
names. Append an explicit :lookup:`exact` lookup if this is an issue.
Persistent database connections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Connection setup not repeated for each request
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When Django establishes a connection to the database, it sets up appropriate
parameters, depending on the backend being used. Since `persistent database
connections <persistent-database-connections>`_ are enabled by default in
Django 1.6, this setup isn't repeated at every request any more. If you
modifiy parameters such as the connection's isolation level or time zone, you
should either restore Django's defaults at the end of each request, force an
appropriate value at the beginning of each request, or disable persistent
connections.
Translations and comments in templates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Extraction of translations after comments
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Extraction of translatable literals from templates with the
:djadmin:`makemessages` command now correctly detects i18n constructs when
they are located after a ``{#`` / ``#}``-type comment on the same line. E.g.:
.. code-block:: html+django
{# A comment #}{% trans "This literal was incorrectly ignored. Not anymore" %}
Location of translator comments
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Validation of the placement of :ref:`translator-comments-in-templates`
specified using ``{#`` / ``#}`` is now stricter. All translator comments not
located at the end of their respective lines in a template are ignored and a
warning is generated by :djadmin:`makemessages` when it finds them. E.g.:
.. code-block:: html+django
{# Translators: This is ignored #}{% trans "Translate me" %}
{{ title }}{# Translators: Extracted and associated with 'Welcome' below #}
<h1>{% trans "Welcome" %}</h1>
Quoting in :func:`~django.core.urlresolvers.reverse`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When reversing URLs, Django didn't apply :func:`~django.utils.http.urlquote`
to arguments before interpolating them in URL patterns. This bug is fixed in
Django 1.6. If you worked around this bug by applying URL quoting before
passing arguments to :func:`~django.core.urlresolvers.reverse`, this may
result in double-quoting. If this happens, simply remove the URL quoting from
your code.
Storage of IP addresses in the comments app
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :doc:`comments </ref/contrib/comments/index>` app now uses a
``GenericIPAddressField`` for storing commenters' IP addresses, to support
comments submitted from IPv6 addresses. Until now, it stored them in an
``IPAddressField``, which is only meant to support IPv4. When saving a comment
made from an IPv6 address, the address would be silently truncated on MySQL
databases, and raise an exception on Oracle. You will need to change the
column type in your database to benefit from this change.
For MySQL, execute this query on your project's database:
.. code-block:: sql
ALTER TABLE django_comments MODIFY ip_address VARCHAR(39);
For Oracle, execute this query:
.. code-block:: sql
ALTER TABLE DJANGO_COMMENTS MODIFY (ip_address VARCHAR2(39));
If you do not apply this change, the behaviour is unchanged: on MySQL, IPv6
addresses are silently truncated; on Oracle, an exception is generated. No
database change is needed for SQLite or PostgreSQL databases.
Miscellaneous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The ``django.db.models.query.EmptyQuerySet`` can't be instantiated any more -
it is only usable as a marker class for checking if
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.none` has been called:
``isinstance(qs.none(), EmptyQuerySet)``
* If your CSS/Javascript code used to access HTML input widgets by type, you
should review it as ``type='text'`` widgets might be now output as
``type='email'``, ``type='url'`` or ``type='number'`` depending on their
corresponding field type.
Features deprecated in 1.6
==========================
Transaction management APIs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Transaction management was completely overhauled in Django 1.6, and the
current APIs are deprecated:
- ``django.middleware.transaction.TransactionMiddleware``
- ``django.db.transaction.autocommit``
- ``django.db.transaction.commit_on_success``
- ``django.db.transaction.commit_manually``
- the ``TRANSACTIONS_MANAGED`` setting
The reasons for this change and the upgrade path are described in the
:ref:`transactions documentation <transactions-upgrading-from-1.5>`.
2013-03-09 22:49:37 +08:00
``django.contrib.comments``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Django's comment framework has been deprecated and is no longer supported. It
will be available in Django 1.6 and 1.7, and removed in Django 1.8. Most users
will be better served with a custom solution, or a hosted product like Disqus__.
The code formerly known as ``django.contrib.comments`` is `still available
in an external repository`__.
__ https://disqus.com/
__ https://github.com/django/django-contrib-comments
Support for PostgreSQL versions older than 8.4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The end of upstream support periods was reached in December 2011 for
PostgreSQL 8.2 and in February 2013 for 8.3. As a consequence, Django 1.6 sets
8.4 as the minimum PostgreSQL version it officially supports.
You're strongly encouraged to use the most recent version of PostgreSQL
available, because of performance improvements and to take advantage of the
native streaming replication available in PostgreSQL 9.x.
Changes to :ttag:`cycle` and :ttag:`firstof`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The template system generally escapes all variables to avoid XSS attacks.
However, due to an accident of history, the :ttag:`cycle` and :ttag:`firstof`
tags render their arguments as-is.
Django 1.6 starts a process to correct this inconsistency. The ``future``
template library provides alternate implementations of :ttag:`cycle` and
:ttag:`firstof` that autoescape their inputs. If you're using these tags,
you're encourage to include the following line at the top of your templates to
enable the new behavior::
{% load cycle from future %}
or::
{% load firstof from future %}
The tags implementing the old behavior have been deprecated, and in Django
1.8, the old behavior will be replaced with the new behavior. To ensure
compatibility with future versions of Django, existing templates should be
modified to use the ``future`` versions.
If necessary, you can temporarily disable auto-escaping with
:func:`~django.utils.safestring.mark_safe` or :ttag:`{% autoescape off %}
<autoescape>`.
``SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS`` setting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:class:`~django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware` used to provide basic
reporting of broken links by email when ``SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS`` is set to
``True``.
Because of intractable ordering problems between
:class:`~django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware` and
:class:`~django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware`, this feature was split
out into a new middleware:
:class:`~django.middleware.common.BrokenLinkEmailsMiddleware`.
If you're relying on this feature, you should add
``'django.middleware.common.BrokenLinkEmailsMiddleware'`` to your
:setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` setting and remove ``SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS``
from your settings.
``_has_changed`` method on widgets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you defined your own form widgets and defined the ``_has_changed`` method
on a widget, you should now define this method on the form field itself.
``module_name`` model meta attribute
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``Model._meta.module_name`` was renamed to ``model_name``. Despite being a
private API, it will go through a regular deprecation path.
``get_query_set`` and similar methods renamed to ``get_queryset``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Methods that return a ``QuerySet`` such as ``Manager.get_query_set`` or
``ModelAdmin.queryset`` have been renamed to ``get_queryset``.
``shortcut`` view and URLconf
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``shortcut`` view was moved from ``django.views.defaults`` to
``django.contrib.contenttypes.views`` shortly after the 1.0 release, but the
old location was never deprecated. This oversight was corrected in Django 1.6
and you should now use the new location.
The URLconf ``django.conf.urls.shortcut`` was also deprecated. If you're
including it in an URLconf, simply replace::
(r'^prefix/', include('django.conf.urls.shortcut')),
with::
(r'^prefix/(?P<content_type_id>\d+)/(?P<object_id>.*)/$', 'django.contrib.contenttypes.views.shortcut'),
