Django 3.1 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
|
|
============================================
|

|
|
|
|
Welcome to Django 3.1!
|
|
|
|
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-3.1>`, as well as
|
|
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-3.1>` you'll
|
|
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 3.0 or earlier. We've
|
|
:ref:`dropped some features<removed-features-3.1>` that have reached the end of
|
|
their deprecation cycle, and we've :ref:`begun the deprecation process for
|
|
some features <deprecated-features-3.1>`.
|
|
|
|
See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
Python compatibility
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Django 3.1 supports Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8. We **highly recommend** and only
|
|
officially support the latest release of each series.
|

|
details.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`django.forms.DateTimeField` now accepts dates in a subset of ISO 8601
|
|

|
|
``2019-10-10T06:47:23+04:00``, or ``2019-10-10T06:47:23Z``). Additionally, it

|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
Models
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* The new :class:`~django.db.models.functions.ExtractIsoWeekDay` function
|
|
extracts ISO-8601 week days from :class:`~django.db.models.DateField` and

|
|
a :class:`~django.db.models.PositiveIntegerField` except that it only allows

|
``9223372036854775807`` are safe in all databases supported by Django.

|
* The new :class:`~django.db.models.RESTRICT` option for

|
|

|
|
|
|

Templates
|
|
~~~~~~~~~

|
|
introduced for internationalization in template code. The older :ttag:`trans`
|
|
and :ttag:`blocktrans` template tags aliases continue to work, and will be
|
|
retained for the foreseeable future.
|
|
|
|
Tests
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* :class:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase` now implements the ``debug()`` method to
|
|
allow running a test without collecting the result and catching exceptions.
|
|
This can be used to support running tests under a debugger.
|
|
|
|
* The new :setting:`MIGRATE <TEST_MIGRATE>` test database setting allows
|
|
disabling of migrations during a test database creation.
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
for decimal fractions in the ISO 8601 format.
|

|
|
setting.
|
|
|

|
|
:class:`pathlib.Path` instead of :mod:`os.path` for building filesystem
|
|
paths.
|
|
|
|
* The :setting:`TIME_ZONE <DATABASE-TIME_ZONE>` setting is now allowed on
|
|
databases that support time zones.

.. _backwards-incompatible-3.1:
|
|
|
|
Backwards incompatible changes in 3.1
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Database backend API
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
|
|
backends.
|
|
|
|
* ``DatabaseOperations.fetch_returned_insert_columns()`` now requires an
|
|
additional ``returning_params`` argument.
|
|
|
|
* ``connection.timezone`` property is now ``'UTC'`` by default, or the
|
|
:setting:`TIME_ZONE <DATABASE-TIME_ZONE>` when :setting:`USE_TZ` is ``True``
|
|
on databases that support time zones. Previously, it was ``None`` on
|
|
databases that support time zones.
|
|
|
|
Dropped support for MariaDB 10.1
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Upstream support for MariaDB 10.1 ends in October 2020. Django 3.1 supports
|
|
MariaDB 10.2 and higher.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* The cache keys used by :ttag:`cache` and generated by
|
|
:func:`~django.core.cache.utils.make_template_fragment_key` are different
|
|
from the keys generated by older versions of Django. After upgrading to
|
|
Django 3.1, the first request to any previously cached template fragment will
|
|
be a cache miss.
|
|
|
|
* The compatibility imports of ``django.core.exceptions.EmptyResultSet`` in
|
|
``django.db.models.query``, ``django.db.models.sql``, and
|
|
``django.db.models.sql.datastructures`` are removed.
|
|
|
|
* The compatibility import of ``django.core.exceptions.FieldDoesNotExist`` in
|
|
``django.db.models.fields`` is removed.
|
|
|
|
* The compatibility imports of ``django.forms.utils.pretty_name()`` and
|
|
``django.forms.boundfield.BoundField`` in ``django.forms.forms`` are removed.
|
|
|
|
* The compatibility imports of ``Context``, ``ContextPopException``, and
|
|
``RequestContext`` in ``django.template.base`` are removed.
|
|
|
|
* The compatibility import of
|
|
``django.contrib.admin.helpers.ACTION_CHECKBOX_NAME`` in
|
|
``django.contrib.admin`` is removed.
|
|
|
|
* The :setting:`STATIC_URL` and :setting:`MEDIA_URL` settings set to relative
|
|
paths are now prefixed by the server-provided value of ``SCRIPT_NAME`` (or
|
|
``/`` if not set). This change should not affect settings set to valid URLs
|
|
or absolute paths.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`~django.middleware.http.ConditionalGetMiddleware` no longer adds the
|
|
``ETag`` header to responses with an empty
|
|
:attr:`~django.http.HttpResponse.content`.
|
|
|
|
* ``django.utils.decorators.classproperty()`` decorator is moved to
|
|
``django.utils.functional.classproperty()``.
|
|
|
|
* :tfilter:`floatformat` template filter now outputs (positive) ``0`` for
|
|
negative numbers which round to zero.
|
|
|
|
* :attr:`Meta.ordering <django.db.models.Options.ordering>` and
|
|
:attr:`Meta.unique_together <django.db.models.Options.unique_together>`
|
|
options on models in ``django.contrib`` modules that were formerly tuples are
|
|
now lists.
|
|
|
|
* The admin calendar widget now handles two-digit years according to the Open
|
|
Group Specification, i.e. values between 69 and 99 are mapped to the previous
|
|
century, and values between 0 and 68 are mapped to the current century.
|
|
|
|
* Date-only formats are removed from the default list for
|
|
:setting:`DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS`.
|
|
|
|
* The :class:`~django.forms.FileInput` widget no longer renders with the
|
|
``required`` HTML attribute when initial data exists.
|
|
|
|
.. _deprecated-features-3.1:
|
|
|
|
Features deprecated in 3.1
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
|

|
:setting:`PASSWORD_RESET_TIMEOUT`.

|
|
|
|

|
|
in Django 3.1.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`deprecated-features-2.2` for details on these changes, including how
|
|
to remove usage of these features.
|
|
|
|
* ``django.utils.timezone.FixedOffset`` is removed.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* A model's ``Meta.ordering`` doesn't affect ``GROUP BY`` queries.

|
``TransactionTestCase.multi_db`` is removed.
