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`_.

What's new in Django 1.6
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Minor features
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Authentication backends can raise ``PermissionDenied`` to immediately fail
|
|
the authentication chain.
|
|
|
|
* 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`.
|
|
|
|
* The default widgets for :class:`~django.forms.EmailField` and
|
|
:class:`~django.forms.URLField` use the new type attributes available in
|
|
HTML5 (type='email', type='url').
|
|
|
|
Backwards incompatible changes in 1.6
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
* 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'`` or ``type='url'`` depending on their corresponding field type.
|
|
|
|
.. 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.
|
|
|
|
Features deprecated in 1.6
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
``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.
|
