``Model.objects.bulk_create`` in the ORM
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
This method allows for more efficient creation of multiple objects in the ORM.
|
||||
It can provide significant performance increases if you have many objects,
|
||||
Django makes use of this internally, meaning some operations (such as database
|
||||
setup for test suites) has seen a performance benefit as a result.

Simple clickjacking protection
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
We've added a middleware to provide easy protection against `clickjacking
|
||||
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickjacking>`_ using the X-Frame-Options
|
||||
header. It's not enabled by default for backwards compatibility reasons, but
|
||||
you'll almost certainly want to :doc:`enable it </ref/clickjacking/>` to help
|
||||
plug that security hole for browsers that support the header.
|
||||
|
||||
``reverse_lazy``
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
A lazily evaluated version of :func:`django.core.urlresolvers.reverse` was
|
||||
added to allow using URL reversals before the project's URLConf gets loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
Translating URL patterns
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Django 1.4 gained the ability to look for a language prefix in the URL pattern
|
||||
when using the new :func:`django.conf.urls.i18n.i18n_patterns` helper function.
|
||||
Additionally, it's now possible to define translatable URL patterns using
|
||||
:func:`~django.utils.translation.ugettext_lazy`. See
|
||||
:ref:`url-internationalization` for more information about the language prefix
|
||||
and how to internationalize URL patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
Customizable ``SingleObjectMixin`` URLConf kwargs
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|

Two new attributes,

:attr:`pk_url_kwarg<django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectMixin.pk_url_kwarg>` and
|

:attr:`slug_url_kwarg<django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectMixin.slug_url_kwarg>`,
|
||||
have been added to :class:`django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectMixin` to

enable the customization of URLConf keyword arguments used for single
|
||||
object generic views.

|
||||
No wrapping of exceptions in ``TEMPLATE_DEBUG`` mode
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
In previous versions of Django, whenever the :setting:`TEMPLATE_DEBUG` setting
|
||||
was ``True``, any exception raised during template rendering (even exceptions
|
||||
unrelated to template syntax) were wrapped in ``TemplateSyntaxError`` and
|
||||
re-raised. This was done in order to provide detailed template source location
|
||||
information in the debug 500 page.
|
||||
|
||||
In Django 1.4, exceptions are no longer wrapped. Instead, the original
|
||||
exception is annotated with the source information. This means that catching
|
||||
exceptions from template rendering is now consistent regardless of the value of
|
||||
:setting:`TEMPLATE_DEBUG`, and there's no need to catch and unwrap
|
||||
``TemplateSyntaxError`` in order to catch other errors.

Customizable ``SingleObjectMixin`` URLConf kwargs
|
||||

|

``static`` template tag
|
||||

|

||||
The :mod:`staticfiles<django.contrib.staticfiles>` contrib app has now a new
|
||||
:ttag:`static template tag<staticfiles-static>` to refer to files saved with
|
||||
the :setting:`STATICFILES_STORAGE` storage backend. It'll use the storage
|
||||
``url`` method and therefore supports advanced features such as

:mod:`staticfiles<django.contrib.staticfiles>` contrib app now has a
