Django 2.2 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
*Expected April 2019*
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Django 2.2!
|
|
|
|
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-2.2>`, as well as
|
|
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-2.2>` you'll
|
|
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 2.1 or earlier. We've
|
|
:ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
|
|
<deprecated-features-2.2>`.
|
|
|
|
See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
Django 2.2 is designated as a :term:`long-term support release`. It will
|
|
receive security updates for at least three years after its release. Support
|
|
for the previous LTS, Django 1.11, will end in April 2020.
|
|
|
|
Python compatibility
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Django 2.2 supports Python 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7. We **highly recommend** and only
|
|
officially support the latest release of each series.
|
|

|
What's new in Django 2.2
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Check Constraints
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The new :class:`~django.db.models.CheckConstraint` class enables adding custom
|
|
database constraints. Constraints are added to models using the
|
|
:attr:`Meta.constraints <django.db.models.Options.constraints>` option.
|
|
|

|
|
Management Commands
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* The new :option:`--force-color` option forces colorization of the command
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
* :djadmin:`inspectdb` now creates models for foreign tables on PostgreSQL.
|
|
|
|
* :option:`inspectdb --include-views` now creates models for materialized views
|
|
on PostgreSQL.
|
|
|
|
* :djadmin:`inspectdb` now introspects :class:`~django.db.models.DurationField`
|
|
for Oracle and PostgreSQL.
|
|
|
|
* On Oracle, :djadmin:`dbshell` is wrapped with ``rlwrap``, if available.
|
|
``rlwrap`` provides a command history and editing of keyboard input.
|
|
|
|
Migrations
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* The new :option:`migrate --plan` option prints the list of migration
|
|
operations that will be performed.
|
|
|
|
* ``NoneType`` can now be serialized in migrations.
|
|
|
|
Models
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Added support for PostgreSQL operator classes (:attr:`.Index.opclasses`).
|
|
|
|
* Added support for partial indexes (:attr:`.Index.condition`).
|
|
|
|
* Added many :ref:`math database functions <math-functions>`.
|
|
|
|
* Setting the new ``ignore_conflicts`` parameter of
|
|
:meth:`.QuerySet.bulk_create` to ``True`` tells the database to ignore
|
|
failure to insert rows that fail uniqueness constraints or other checks.
|
|
|
|
* The new :class:`~django.db.models.functions.ExtractIsoYear` function extracts
|
|
ISO-8601 week-numbering years from :class:`~django.db.models.DateField` and
|
|
:class:`~django.db.models.DateTimeField`, and the new :lookup:`iso_year`
|
|
lookup allows querying by an ISO-8601 week-numbering year.
|
|
|
|
* The new :meth:`.QuerySet.bulk_update` method allows efficiently updating
|
|
specific fields on multiple model instances.
|
|
|
|
* Django no longer always starts a transaction when a single query is being
|
|
performed, such as ``Model.save()``, ``QuerySet.update()``, and
|
|
``Model.delete()``. This improves the performance of autocommit by reducing
|
|
the number of database round trips.
|
|
|
|
Requests and Responses
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* ...
|
|
|
|
Serialization
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* You can now deserialize data using natural keys containing :ref:`forward
|
|
references <natural-keys-and-forward-references>` by passing
|
|
``handle_forward_references=True`` to ``serializers.deserialize()``.
|
|
Additionally, :djadmin:`loaddata` handles forward references automatically.

Tests
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* The new :meth:`.SimpleTestCase.assertURLEqual` assertion checks for a given
|
|
URL, ignoring the ordering of the query string.
|
|
:meth:`~.SimpleTestCase.assertRedirects` uses the new assertion.
|
|
|
|
* The test :class:`~.django.test.Client` now supports automatic JSON
|
|
serialization of list and tuple ``data`` when
|
|
``content_type='application/json'``.

|
|
|
Backwards incompatible changes in 2.2
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Database backend API
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* Third-party database backends must implement support for table check
|
|
constraints or set ``DatabaseFeatures.supports_table_check_constraints`` to
|
|
``False``.
|
|
|
|
* Third party database backends must implement support for ignoring
|
|
constraints or uniqueness errors while inserting or set
|
|
``DatabaseFeatures.supports_ignore_conflicts`` to ``False``.
|
|
|
|
* Third party database backends must implement introspection for
|
|
``DurationField`` or set ``DatabaseFeatures.can_introspect_duration_field``
|
|
to ``False``.
|
|
|
|
* ``DatabaseFeatures.uses_savepoints`` now defaults to ``True``.
|
|
|
|
* Third party database backends must implement support for partial indexes or
|
|
set ``DatabaseFeatures.supports_partial_indexes`` to ``False``.
|
|
|
|
:mod:`django.contrib.gis`
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Support for GDAL 1.9 and 1.10 is dropped.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* To improve readability, the ``UUIDField`` form field now displays values with
|
|
dashes, e.g. ``550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000`` instead of
|
|
``550e8400e29b41d4a716446655440000``.
|
|
|
|
* On SQLite, ``PositiveIntegerField`` and ``PositiveSmallIntegerField`` now
|
|
include a check constraint to prevent negative values in the database. If you
|
|
have existing invalid data and run a migration that recreates a table, you'll
|
|
see ``CHECK constraint failed``.
|
|
|
|
* For consistency with WSGI servers, the test client now sets the
|
|
``Content-Length`` header to a string rather than an integer.
|
|
|
|
* The return value of :func:`django.utils.text.slugify` is no longer marked as
|
|
HTML safe.
|
|
|
|
* The default truncation character used by the :tfilter:`urlizetrunc`,
|
|
:tfilter:`truncatechars`, :tfilter:`truncatechars_html`,
|
|
:tfilter:`truncatewords`, and :tfilter:`truncatewords_html` template filters
|
|
is now the real ellipsis character (``…``) instead of 3 dots. You may have to
|
|
adapt some test output comparisons.
|
|
|
|
* Support for bytestring paths in the template filesystem loader is removed.
|
|
|
|
* :func:`django.utils.http.urlsafe_base64_encode` now returns a string instead
|
|
of a bytestring, and :func:`django.utils.http.urlsafe_base64_decode` may no
|
|
longer be passed a bytestring.
|
|
|
|
* Support for ``cx_Oracle`` < 6.0 is removed.
|
|
|
|
.. _deprecated-features-2.2:
|
|
|
|
Features deprecated in 2.2
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Model ``Meta.ordering`` will no longer affect ``GROUP BY`` queries
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
A model's ``Meta.ordering`` affecting ``GROUP BY`` queries (such as
|
|
``.annotate().values()``) is a common source of confusion. Such queries now
|
|
issue a deprecation warning with the advice to add an ``order_by()`` to retain
|
|
the current query. ``Meta.ordering`` will be ignored in such queries starting
|
|
in Django 3.1.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* ``django.utils.timezone.FixedOffset`` is deprecated in favor of
|
|
:class:`datetime.timezone`.
|
|
|
|
* The undocumented ``QuerySetPaginator`` alias of
|
|
``django.core.paginator.Paginator`` is deprecated.
|
|
|
|
* The ``FloatRangeField`` model and form fields in ``django.contrib.postgres``
|
|
are deprecated in favor of a new name, ``DecimalRangeField``, to match the
|
|
underlying ``numrange`` data type used in the database.
|
|
|
|
* The ``FILE_CHARSET`` setting is deprecated. Starting with Django 3.1, files
|
|
read from disk must be UTF-8 encoded.
|
|
|
|
* ``django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.CachedStaticFilesStorage`` is
|
|
deprecated due to the intractable problems that is has. Use
|
|
:class:`.ManifestStaticFilesStorage` or a third-party cloud storage instead.
|
