Django 4.0 release notes
========================
*December 7, 2021*
Welcome to Django 4.0!
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-4.0>`, as well as
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-4.0>` you'll
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 3.2 or earlier. We've
:ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
<deprecated-features-4.0>`.
See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
project.
Python compatibility
====================
Django 4.0 supports Python 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10. We **highly recommend** and only
officially support the latest release of each series.
The Django 3.2.x series is the last to support Python 3.6 and 3.7.
.. _whats-new-4.0:
What's new in Django 4.0
========================
``zoneinfo`` default timezone implementation
--------------------------------------------
The Python standard library's :mod:`zoneinfo` is now the default timezone
implementation in Django.
This is the next step in the migration from using ``pytz`` to using
:mod:`zoneinfo`. Django 3.2 allowed the use of non-``pytz`` time zones. Django
4.0 makes ``zoneinfo`` the default implementation. Support for ``pytz`` is now
deprecated and will be removed in Django 5.0.
:mod:`zoneinfo` is part of the Python standard library from Python 3.9. The
``backports.zoneinfo`` package is automatically installed alongside Django if
you are using Python 3.8.
The move to ``zoneinfo`` should be largely transparent. Selection of the
current timezone, conversion of datetime instances to the current timezone in
forms and templates, as well as operations on aware datetimes in UTC are
unaffected.
However, if you are working with non-UTC time zones, and using the ``pytz``
``normalize()`` and ``localize()`` APIs, possibly with the :setting:`TIME_ZONE
<DATABASE-TIME_ZONE>` setting, you will need to audit your code, since ``pytz``
and ``zoneinfo`` are not entirely equivalent.
To give time for such an audit, the transitional ``USE_DEPRECATED_PYTZ``
setting allows continued use of ``pytz`` during the 4.x release cycle. This
setting will be removed in Django 5.0.
In addition, a `pytz_deprecation_shim`_ package, created by the ``zoneinfo``
author, can be used to assist with the migration from ``pytz``. This package
provides shims to help you safely remove ``pytz``, and has a detailed
`migration guide`_ showing how to move to the new ``zoneinfo`` APIs.
Using `pytz_deprecation_shim`_ and the ``USE_DEPRECATED_PYTZ``
transitional setting is recommended if you need a gradual update path.
.. _pytz_deprecation_shim: https://pytz-deprecation-shim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
.. _migration guide: https://pytz-deprecation-shim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migration.html
Functional unique constraints
-----------------------------
The new :attr:`*expressions <django.db.models.UniqueConstraint.expressions>`
positional argument of
:class:`UniqueConstraint() <django.db.models.UniqueConstraint>` enables
creating functional unique constraints on expressions and database functions.
For example::
from django.db import models
from django.db.models import UniqueConstraint
from django.db.models.functions import Lower
class MyModel(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
class Meta:
constraints = [
UniqueConstraint(
Lower("first_name"),
Lower("last_name").desc(),
name="first_last_name_unique",
),
]
Functional unique constraints are added to models using the
:attr:`Meta.constraints <django.db.models.Options.constraints>` option.
``scrypt`` password hasher
--------------------------
The new :ref:`scrypt password hasher <scrypt-usage>` is more secure and
recommended over PBKDF2. However, it's not the default as it requires OpenSSL
1.1+ and more memory.
Redis cache backend
-------------------
The new ``django.core.cache.backends.redis.RedisCache`` cache backend provides
built-in support for caching with Redis. `redis-py`_ 3.0.0 or higher is
required. For more details, see the :ref:`documentation on caching with Redis
in Django <redis>`.
.. _`redis-py`: https://pypi.org/project/redis/
Template based form rendering
-----------------------------
:class:`Forms <django.forms.Form>`, :doc:`Formsets </topics/forms/formsets>`,
and :class:`~django.forms.ErrorList` are now rendered using the template engine
to enhance customization. See the new :meth:`~django.forms.Form.render`,
:meth:`~django.forms.Form.get_context`, and
:attr:`~django.forms.Form.template_name` for ``Form`` and
:ref:`formset rendering <formset-rendering>` for ``Formset``.
Minor features
--------------
:mod:`django.contrib.admin`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The ``admin/base.html`` template now has a new block ``header`` which
contains the admin site header.
* The new :meth:`.ModelAdmin.get_formset_kwargs` method allows customizing the
keyword arguments passed to the constructor of a formset.
* The navigation sidebar now has a quick filter toolbar.
* The new context variable ``model`` which contains the model class for each
model is added to the :meth:`.AdminSite.each_context` method.
* The new :attr:`.ModelAdmin.search_help_text` attribute allows specifying a
descriptive text for the search box.
* The :attr:`.InlineModelAdmin.verbose_name_plural` attribute now fallbacks to
the :attr:`.InlineModelAdmin.verbose_name` + ``'s'``.
* jQuery is upgraded from version 3.5.1 to 3.6.0.
:mod:`django.contrib.admindocs`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The admindocs now allows esoteric setups where :setting:`ROOT_URLCONF` is not
a string.
* The model section of the ``admindocs`` now shows cached properties.
:mod:`django.contrib.auth`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The default iteration count for the PBKDF2 password hasher is increased from
260,000 to 320,000.
* The new
:attr:`LoginView.next_page <django.contrib.auth.views.LoginView.next_page>`
attribute and
:meth:`~django.contrib.auth.views.LoginView.get_default_redirect_url` method
allow customizing the redirect after login.
:mod:`django.contrib.gis`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Added support for SpatiaLite 5.
* :class:`~django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster` now allows creating rasters in
any GDAL virtual filesystem.
* The new :class:`~django.contrib.gis.admin.GISModelAdmin` class allows
customizing the widget used for ``GeometryField``. This is encouraged instead
of deprecated ``GeoModelAdmin`` and ``OSMGeoAdmin``.
:mod:`django.contrib.postgres`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The PostgreSQL backend now supports connecting by a service name. See
:ref:`postgresql-connection-settings` for more details.
* The new :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.operations.AddConstraintNotValid`
operation allows creating check constraints on PostgreSQL without verifying
that all existing rows satisfy the new constraint.
* The new :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.operations.ValidateConstraint`
operation allows validating check constraints which were created using
:class:`~django.contrib.postgres.operations.AddConstraintNotValid` on
PostgreSQL.
* The new
:class:`ArraySubquery() <django.contrib.postgres.expressions.ArraySubquery>`
expression allows using subqueries to construct lists of values on
PostgreSQL.
* The new :lookup:`trigram_word_similar` lookup, and the
:class:`TrigramWordDistance()
<django.contrib.postgres.search.TrigramWordDistance>` and
:class:`TrigramWordSimilarity()
<django.contrib.postgres.search.TrigramWordSimilarity>` expressions allow
using trigram word similarity.
:mod:`django.contrib.staticfiles`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* :class:`~django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.ManifestStaticFilesStorage` now
replaces paths to JavaScript source map references with their hashed
counterparts.
* The new ``manifest_storage`` argument of
:class:`~django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.ManifestFilesMixin` and
:class:`~django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.ManifestStaticFilesStorage`
allows customizing the manifest file storage.
Cache
~~~~~
* The new async API for ``django.core.cache.backends.base.BaseCache`` begins
the process of making cache backends async-compatible. The new async methods
all have ``a`` prefixed names, e.g. ``aadd()``, ``aget()``, ``aset()``,
``aget_or_set()``, or ``adelete_many()``.
Going forward, the ``a`` prefix will be used for async variants of methods
generally.
CSRF
~~~~
* CSRF protection now consults the ``Origin`` header, if present. To facilitate
this, :ref:`some changes <csrf-trusted-origins-changes-4.0>` to the
:setting:`CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS` setting are required.
Forms
~~~~~
* :class:`~django.forms.ModelChoiceField` now includes the provided value in
the ``params`` argument of a raised
:exc:`~django.core.exceptions.ValidationError` for the ``invalid_choice``
error message. This allows custom error messages to use the ``%(value)s``
placeholder.
* :class:`~django.forms.formsets.BaseFormSet` now renders non-form errors with
an additional class of ``nonform`` to help distinguish them from
form-specific errors.
* :class:`~django.forms.formsets.BaseFormSet` now allows customizing the widget
used when deleting forms via
:attr:`~django.forms.formsets.BaseFormSet.can_delete` by setting the
:attr:`~django.forms.formsets.BaseFormSet.deletion_widget` attribute or
overriding :meth:`~django.forms.formsets.BaseFormSet.get_deletion_widget`
method.
Internationalization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Added support and translations for the Malay language.
Generic Views
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* :class:`~django.views.generic.edit.DeleteView` now uses
:class:`~django.views.generic.edit.FormMixin`, allowing you to provide a
:class:`~django.forms.Form` subclass, with a checkbox for example, to confirm
deletion. In addition, this allows ``DeleteView`` to function with
:class:`django.contrib.messages.views.SuccessMessageMixin`.
In accordance with ``FormMixin``, object deletion for POST requests is
handled in ``form_valid()``. Custom delete logic in ``delete()`` handlers
should be moved to ``form_valid()``, or a shared helper method, as needed.
Logging
~~~~~~~
* The alias of the database used in an SQL call is now passed as extra context
along with each message to the :ref:`django-db-logger` logger.
Management Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The :djadmin:`runserver` management command now supports the
:option:`--skip-checks` option.
* On PostgreSQL, :djadmin:`dbshell` now supports specifying a password file.
* The :djadmin:`shell` command now respects :py:data:`sys.__interactivehook__`
at startup. This allows loading shell history between interactive sessions.
As a consequence, ``readline`` is no longer loaded if running in *isolated*
mode.
* The new :attr:`BaseCommand.suppressed_base_arguments
<django.core.management.BaseCommand.suppressed_base_arguments>` attribute
allows suppressing unsupported default command options in the help output.
* The new :option:`startapp --exclude` and :option:`startproject --exclude`
options allow excluding directories from the template.
Models
~~~~~~
* New :meth:`QuerySet.contains(obj) <.QuerySet.contains>` method returns
whether the queryset contains the given object. This tries to perform the
query in the simplest and fastest way possible.
* The new ``precision`` argument of the
:class:`Round() <django.db.models.functions.Round>` database function allows
specifying the number of decimal places after rounding.
* :meth:`.QuerySet.bulk_create` now sets the primary key on objects when using
SQLite 3.35+.
* :class:`~django.db.models.DurationField` now supports multiplying and
dividing by scalar values on SQLite.
* :meth:`.QuerySet.bulk_update` now returns the number of objects updated.
* The new :attr:`.Expression.empty_result_set_value` attribute allows
specifying a value to return when the function is used over an empty result
set.
* The ``skip_locked`` argument of :meth:`.QuerySet.select_for_update()` is now
allowed on MariaDB 10.6+.
* :class:`~django.db.models.Lookup` expressions may now be used in ``QuerySet``
annotations, aggregations, and directly in filters.
* The new :ref:`default <aggregate-default>` argument for built-in aggregates
allows specifying a value to be returned when the queryset (or grouping)
contains no entries, rather than ``None``.
Requests and Responses
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The :class:`~django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware` now adds the
:ref:`Cross-Origin Opener Policy <cross-origin-opener-policy>` header with a
value of ``'same-origin'`` to prevent cross-origin popups from sharing the
same browsing context. You can prevent this header from being added by
setting the :setting:`SECURE_CROSS_ORIGIN_OPENER_POLICY` setting to ``None``.
Signals
~~~~~~~
* The new ``stdout`` argument for :func:`~django.db.models.signals.pre_migrate`
and :func:`~django.db.models.signals.post_migrate` signals allows redirecting
output to a stream-like object. It should be preferred over
:py:data:`sys.stdout` and :py:func:`print` when emitting verbose output in
order to allow proper capture when testing.
Templates
~~~~~~~~~
* :tfilter:`floatformat` template filter now allows using the ``u`` suffix to
force disabling localization.
Tests
~~~~~
* The new ``serialized_aliases`` argument of
:func:`django.test.utils.setup_databases` determines which
:setting:`DATABASES` aliases test databases should have their state
serialized to allow usage of the
:ref:`serialized_rollback <test-case-serialized-rollback>` feature.
* Django test runner now supports a :option:`--buffer <test --buffer>` option
with parallel tests.
* The new ``logger`` argument to :class:`~django.test.runner.DiscoverRunner`
allows a Python :py:ref:`logger <logger>` to be used for logging.
* The new :meth:`.DiscoverRunner.log` method provides a way to log messages
that uses the ``DiscoverRunner.logger``, or prints to the console if not set.
* Django test runner now supports a :option:`--shuffle <test --shuffle>` option
to execute tests in a random order.
* The :option:`test --parallel` option now supports the value ``auto`` to run
one test process for each processor core.
* :meth:`.TestCase.captureOnCommitCallbacks` now captures new callbacks added
while executing :func:`.transaction.on_commit` callbacks.
.. _backwards-incompatible-4.0:
Backwards incompatible changes in 4.0
=====================================
Database backend API
--------------------
This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
backends.
* ``DatabaseOperations.year_lookup_bounds_for_date_field()`` and
``year_lookup_bounds_for_datetime_field()`` methods now take the optional
``iso_year`` argument in order to support bounds for ISO-8601 week-numbering
years.
* The second argument of ``DatabaseSchemaEditor._unique_sql()`` and
``_create_unique_sql()`` methods is now ``fields`` instead of ``columns``.
:mod:`django.contrib.gis`
-------------------------
* Support for PostGIS 2.3 is removed.
* Support for GDAL 2.0 and GEOS 3.5 is removed.
Dropped support for PostgreSQL 9.6
----------------------------------
Upstream support for PostgreSQL 9.6 ends in November 2021. Django 4.0 supports
PostgreSQL 10 and higher.
Also, the minimum supported version of ``psycopg2`` is increased from 2.5.4 to
2.8.4, as ``psycopg2`` 2.8.4 is the first release to support Python 3.8.
Dropped support for Oracle 12.2 and 18c
---------------------------------------
Upstream support for Oracle 12.2 ends in March 2022 and for Oracle 18c it ends
in June 2021. Django 3.2 will be supported until April 2024. Django 4.0
officially supports Oracle 19c.
.. _csrf-trusted-origins-changes-4.0:
``CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS`` changes
--------------------------------
Format change
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Values in the :setting:`CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS` setting must include the scheme
(e.g. ``'http://'`` or ``'https://'``) instead of only the hostname.
Also, values that started with a dot, must now also include an asterisk before
the dot. For example, change ``'.example.com'`` to ``'https://*.example.com'``.
A system check detects any required changes.
Configuring it may now be required
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As CSRF protection now consults the ``Origin`` header, you may need to set
:setting:`CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS`, particularly if you allow requests from
subdomains by setting :setting:`CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN` (or
:setting:`SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN` if :setting:`CSRF_USE_SESSIONS` is enabled) to
a value starting with a dot.
``SecurityMiddleware`` no longer sets the ``X-XSS-Protection`` header
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The :class:`~django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware` no longer sets the
``X-XSS-Protection`` header if the ``SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER`` setting is
``True``. The setting is removed.
Most modern browsers don't honor the ``X-XSS-Protection`` HTTP header. You can
use Content-Security-Policy_ without allowing ``'unsafe-inline'`` scripts
instead.
If you want to support legacy browsers and set the header, use this line in a
custom middleware::
response.headers.setdefault("X-XSS-Protection", "1; mode=block")
.. _Content-Security-Policy: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy
Migrations autodetector changes
-------------------------------
The migrations autodetector now uses model states instead of model classes.
Also, migration operations for ``ForeignKey`` and ``ManyToManyField`` fields no
longer specify attributes which were not passed to the fields during
initialization.
As a side-effect, running ``makemigrations`` might generate no-op
``AlterField`` operations for ``ManyToManyField`` and ``ForeignKey`` fields in
some cases.
``DeleteView`` changes
----------------------
:class:`~django.views.generic.edit.DeleteView` now uses
:class:`~django.views.generic.edit.FormMixin` to handle POST requests. As a
consequence, any custom deletion logic in ``delete()`` handlers should be
moved to ``form_valid()``, or a shared helper method, if required.
Table and column naming scheme changes on Oracle
------------------------------------------------
Django 4.0 inadvertently changed the table and column naming scheme on Oracle.
This causes errors for models and fields with names longer than 30 characters.
Unfortunately, renaming some Oracle tables and columns is required. Use the
upgrade script in :ticket:`33789 <33789#comment:15>` to generate ``RENAME``
statements to change naming scheme.
Miscellaneous
-------------
* Support for ``cx_Oracle`` < 7.0 is removed.
* To allow serving a Django site on a subpath without changing the value of
:setting:`STATIC_URL`, the leading slash is removed from that setting (now
``'static/'``) in the default :djadmin:`startproject` template.
* The :class:`~django.contrib.admin.AdminSite` method for the admin ``index``
view is no longer decorated with ``never_cache`` when accessed directly,
rather than via the recommended ``AdminSite.urls`` property, or
``AdminSite.get_urls()`` method.
* Unsupported operations on a sliced queryset now raise ``TypeError`` instead
of ``AssertionError``.
* The undocumented ``django.test.runner.reorder_suite()`` function is renamed
to ``reorder_tests()``. It now accepts an iterable of tests rather than a
test suite, and returns an iterator of tests.
* Calling ``FileSystemStorage.delete()`` with an empty ``name`` now raises
``ValueError`` instead of ``AssertionError``.
* Calling ``EmailMultiAlternatives.attach_alternative()`` or
``EmailMessage.attach()`` with an invalid ``content`` or ``mimetype``
arguments now raise ``ValueError`` instead of ``AssertionError``.
* :meth:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertHTMLEqual` no longer considers a
non-boolean attribute without a value equal to an attribute with the same
name and value.
* Tests that fail to load, for example due to syntax errors, now always match
when using :option:`test --tag`.
* The undocumented ``django.contrib.admin.utils.lookup_needs_distinct()``
function is renamed to ``lookup_spawns_duplicates()``.
* The undocumented ``HttpRequest.get_raw_uri()`` method is removed. The
:meth:`.HttpRequest.build_absolute_uri` method may be a suitable alternative.
* The ``object`` argument of undocumented ``ModelAdmin.log_addition()``,
``log_change()``, and ``log_deletion()`` methods is renamed to ``obj``.
* :class:`~django.utils.feedgenerator.RssFeed`,
:class:`~django.utils.feedgenerator.Atom1Feed`, and their subclasses now emit
elements with no content as self-closing tags.
* ``NodeList.render()`` no longer casts the output of ``render()`` method for
individual nodes to a string. ``Node.render()`` should always return a string
as documented.
* The ``where_class`` property of ``django.db.models.sql.query.Query`` and the
``where_class`` argument to the private ``get_extra_restriction()`` method of
``ForeignObject`` and ``ForeignObjectRel`` are removed. If needed, initialize
``django.db.models.sql.where.WhereNode`` instead.
* The ``filter_clause`` argument of the undocumented ``Query.add_filter()``
method is replaced by two positional arguments ``filter_lhs`` and
``filter_rhs``.
* :class:`~django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware` now uses
``request.META['CSRF_COOKIE_NEEDS_UPDATE']`` in place of
``request.META['CSRF_COOKIE_USED']``, ``request.csrf_cookie_needs_reset``,
and ``response.csrf_cookie_set`` to track whether the CSRF cookie should be
sent. This is an undocumented, private API.
* The undocumented ``TRANSLATOR_COMMENT_MARK`` constant is moved from
``django.template.base`` to ``django.utils.translation.template``.
* The ``real_apps`` argument of the undocumented
``django.db.migrations.state.ProjectState.__init__()`` method must now be a
set if provided.
* :class:`~django.forms.RadioSelect` and
:class:`~django.forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple` widgets are now rendered in
``<div>`` tags so they are announced more concisely by screen readers. If you
need the previous behavior, :ref:`override the widget template
<overriding-built-in-widget-templates>` with the appropriate template from
Django 3.2.
* The :tfilter:`floatformat` template filter no longer depends on the
``USE_L10N`` setting and always returns localized output. Use the ``u``
suffix to disable localization.
* The default value of the ``USE_L10N`` setting is changed to ``True``. See the
:ref:`Localization section <use_l10n_deprecation>` above for more details.
* As part of the :ref:`move to zoneinfo <whats-new-4.0>`,
``django.utils.timezone.utc`` is changed to alias
:attr:`datetime.timezone.utc`.
* The minimum supported version of ``asgiref`` is increased from 3.3.2 to
3.4.1.
.. _deprecated-features-4.0:
Features deprecated in 4.0
==========================
Use of ``pytz`` time zones
--------------------------
As part of the :ref:`move to zoneinfo <whats-new-4.0>`, use of ``pytz`` time
zones is deprecated.
Accordingly, the ``is_dst`` arguments to the following are also deprecated:
* :meth:`django.db.models.query.QuerySet.datetimes`
* :func:`django.db.models.functions.Trunc`
* :func:`django.db.models.functions.TruncSecond`
* :func:`django.db.models.functions.TruncMinute`
* :func:`django.db.models.functions.TruncHour`
* :func:`django.db.models.functions.TruncDay`
* :func:`django.db.models.functions.TruncWeek`
* :func:`django.db.models.functions.TruncMonth`
* :func:`django.db.models.functions.TruncQuarter`
* :func:`django.db.models.functions.TruncYear`
* :func:`django.utils.timezone.make_aware`
Support for use of ``pytz`` will be removed in Django 5.0.
Time zone support
-----------------
In order to follow good practice, the default value of the :setting:`USE_TZ`
setting will change from ``False`` to ``True``, and time zone support will be
enabled by default, in Django 5.0.
Note that the default :file:`settings.py` file created by
:djadmin:`django-admin startproject <startproject>` includes
:setting:`USE_TZ = True <USE_TZ>` since Django 1.4.
You can set ``USE_TZ`` to ``False`` in your project settings before then to
opt-out.
.. _use_l10n_deprecation:
Localization
------------
In order to follow good practice, the default value of the ``USE_L10N`` setting
is changed from ``False`` to ``True``.
Moreover ``USE_L10N`` is deprecated as of this release. Starting with Django
5.0, by default, any date or number displayed by Django will be localized.
The :ttag:`{% localize %} <localize>` tag and the :tfilter:`localize`/
:tfilter:`unlocalize` filters will still be honored by Django.
Miscellaneous
-------------
* ``SERIALIZE`` test setting is deprecated as it can be inferred from the
:attr:`~django.test.TestCase.databases` with the
:ref:`serialized_rollback <test-case-serialized-rollback>` option enabled.
* The undocumented ``django.utils.baseconv`` module is deprecated.
* The undocumented ``django.utils.datetime_safe`` module is deprecated.
* The default sitemap protocol for sitemaps built outside the context of a
request will change from ``'http'`` to ``'https'`` in Django 5.0.
* The ``extra_tests`` argument for :meth:`.DiscoverRunner.build_suite` and
:meth:`.DiscoverRunner.run_tests` is deprecated.
* The :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.aggregates.ArrayAgg`,
:class:`~django.contrib.postgres.aggregates.JSONBAgg`, and
:class:`~django.contrib.postgres.aggregates.StringAgg` aggregates will return
``None`` when there are no rows instead of ``[]``, ``[]``, and ``''``
respectively in Django 5.0. If you need the previous behavior, explicitly set
``default`` to ``Value([])``, ``Value('[]')``, or ``Value('')``.
* The ``django.contrib.gis.admin.GeoModelAdmin`` and ``OSMGeoAdmin`` classes
are deprecated. Use :class:`~django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin` and
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.admin.GISModelAdmin` instead.
* Since form rendering now uses the template engine, the undocumented
``BaseForm._html_output()`` helper method is deprecated.
* The ability to return a ``str`` from ``ErrorList`` and ``ErrorDict`` is
deprecated. It is expected these methods return a ``SafeString``.
Features removed in 4.0
