Django 5.0 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
============================================
*Expected December 2023*
Welcome to Django 5.0!
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-5.0>`, as well as
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-5.0>` you'll
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 4.2 or earlier. We've
:ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
<deprecated-features-5.0>`.
See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
project.
Python compatibility
====================
Django 5.0 supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12. We **highly recommend** and
only officially support the latest release of each series.
The Django 4.2.x series is the last to support Python 3.8 and 3.9.
Third-party library support for older version of Django
=======================================================
Following the release of Django 5.0, we suggest that third-party app authors
drop support for all versions of Django prior to 4.2. At that time, you should
be able to run your package's tests using ``python -Wd`` so that deprecation
warnings appear. After making the deprecation warning fixes, your app should be
compatible with Django 5.0.

.. _backwards-incompatible-5.0:
Backwards incompatible changes in 5.0
=====================================
Database backend API
--------------------
This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
backends.
* ...
Using ``create_defaults__exact`` may now be required with ``QuerySet.update_or_create()``
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:meth:`.QuerySet.update_or_create` now supports the parameter
``create_defaults``. As a consequence, any models that have a field named
``create_defaults`` that are used with an ``update_or_create()`` should specify
the field in the lookup with ``create_defaults__exact``.
Miscellaneous
-------------
* The ``instance`` argument of the undocumented
``BaseModelFormSet.save_existing()`` method is renamed to ``obj``.
* The undocumented ``django.contrib.admin.helpers.checkbox`` is removed.
* Integer fields are now validated as 64-bit integers on SQLite to match the
behavior of ``sqlite3``.
.. _deprecated-features-5.0:
Features deprecated in 5.0
==========================
Miscellaneous
-------------
* The ``DjangoDivFormRenderer`` and ``Jinja2DivFormRenderer`` transitional form
renderers are deprecated.
* Passing positional arguments ``name`` and ``violation_error_message`` to
:class:`~django.db.models.BaseConstraint` is deprecated in favor of
keyword-only arguments.
