Django 1.11 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
|
||
=============================================
|
||
|
||
Welcome to Django 1.11!
|
||
|
||
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-1.11>`, as well as
|
||
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-1.11>` you'll
|
||
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 1.10 or older versions. We've
|
||
:ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
|
||
<deprecated-features-1.11>`.
|
||
|
||
See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
|
||
project.
|
||
|
||
Django 1.11 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 1.8, will end 6 months after the release date of
|
||
Django 1.11.
|
||
|
||
Python compatibility
|
||
====================
|
||
|
||
Like Django 1.10, Django 1.11 requires Python 2.7, 3.4, or 3.5. We **highly
|
||
recommend** and only officially support the latest release of each series.
|
||
|
||
The Django 1.11.x series is the last to support Python 2. The next major
|
||
release, Django 2.0, will only support Python 3.5+.
|
||
|
||
Deprecating warnings are no longer loud by default
|
||
==================================================
|
||
|
||
Unlike older versions of Django, Django's own deprecation warnings are no
|
||
longer displayed by default. This is consistent with Python's default behavior.
|
||
|
||
This change allows third-party apps to support both Django 1.11 LTS and Django
|
||
1.8 LTS without having to add code to avoid deprecation warnings.
|
||
|
||
Following the release of Django 2.0, we suggest that third-party app authors
|
||
drop support for all versions of Django prior to 1.11. At that time, you should
|
||
be able run your package's tests using ``python -Wd`` so that deprecation
|
||
warnings do appear. After making the deprecation warning fixes, your app should
|
||
be compatible with Django 2.0.

.. _backwards-incompatible-1.11:
|
||
|
||
Backwards incompatible changes in 1.11
|
||
======================================
|
||
|
||
:mod:`django.contrib.gis`
|
||
-------------------------
|
||
|
||
* To simplify the codebase and because it's easier to install than when
|
||
``contrib.gis`` was first released, :ref:`gdalbuild` is now a required
|
||
dependency for GeoDjango. In older versions, it's only required for SQLite.
|
||
|
||
Database backend API
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
* ...
|
||
|
||
Dropped support for PostgreSQL 9.2 and PostGIS 2.0
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Upstream support for PostgreSQL 9.2 ends in September 2017. As a consequence,
|
||
Django 1.11 sets PostgreSQL 9.3 as the minimum version it officially supports.
|
||
|
||
Support for PostGIS 2.0 is also removed as PostgreSQL 9.2 is the last version
|
||
to support it.
|
||
|
||
``LiveServerTestCase`` binds to port zero
|
||
-----------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Rather than taking a port range and iterating to find a free port,
|
||
``LiveServerTestCase`` binds to port zero and relies on the operating system
|
||
to assign a free port. The ``DJANGO_LIVE_TEST_SERVER_ADDRESS`` environment
|
||
variable is no longer used, and as it's also no longer used, the
|
||
``manage.py test --liveserver`` option is removed.
|
||
|
||
Miscellaneous
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
* If no items in the feed have a ``pubdate`` or ``updateddate`` attribute,
|
||
:meth:`SyndicationFeed.latest_post_date()
|
||
<django.utils.feedgenerator.SyndicationFeed.latest_post_date>` now returns
|
||
the current UTC date/time, instead of a datetime without any timezone
|
||
information.
|
||
|
||
* Support for SpatiaLite < 4.0 is dropped.
|
||
|
||
* CSRF failures are logged to the ``django.security.csrf`` logger instead of
|
||
``django.request``.
|
||
|
||
* :setting:`ALLOWED_HOSTS` validation is no longer disabled when running tests.
|
||
If your application includes tests with custom host names, you must include
|
||
those host names in :setting:`ALLOWED_HOSTS`. See
|
||
:ref:`topics-testing-advanced-multiple-hosts`.
|
||
|
||
* Using a foreign key's id (e.g. ``'field_id'``) in ``ModelAdmin.list_display``
|
||
displays the related object's ID. Remove the ``_id`` suffix if you want the
|
||
old behavior of the string representation of the object.
|
||
|
||
* In model forms, :class:`~django.db.models.CharField` with ``null=True`` now
|
||
saves ``NULL`` for blank values instead of empty strings.
|
||
|
||
* On Oracle, :meth:`Model.validate_unique()
|
||
<django.db.models.Model.validate_unique>` no longer checks empty strings for
|
||
uniqueness as the database interprets the value as ``NULL``.
|
||
|
||
* If you subclass :class:`.AbstractUser` and override ``clean()``, be sure it
|
||
calls ``super()``. :meth:`.BaseUserManager.normalize_email` is called in a
|
||
new :meth:`.AbstractUser.clean` method so that normalization is applied in
|
||
cases like model form validation.
|
||
|
||
.. _deprecated-features-1.11:
|
||
|
||
Features deprecated in 1.11
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Miscellaneous
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
* ``contrib.auth``’s ``login()`` and ``logout()`` function-based views are
|
||
deprecated in favor of new class-based views
|
||
:class:`~django.contrib.auth.views.LoginView` and
|
||
:class:`~django.contrib.auth.views.LogoutView`.
