This avoids leaving projects silently vulnerable when this option is set
to a string instead of a one-item tuple containing that string, a very
common misconfiguration.
Previously, when a template was rendered with RequestContext, inclusion
tags were rendered with a plain context, losing additional information
available in the RequestContext.
The (admittedly bizarre) implementation of RequestContext.new() has the
side-effect of not running template context processors, making this
change backwards-compatible.
This commit changes the return type of these two functions. Instead of
returning a django.template.Template they return a backend-specific
Template class that must implement render(self, context).
Since this package is going to hold both the implementation of the Django
Template Language and the infrastructure for Multiple Template Engines,
it should be untied from the DTL as much as possible within our
backwards-compatibility policy.
Only public APIs (i.e. APIs mentioned in the documentation) were left.
Refs #7261 -- Made strings escaped by Django usable in third-party libs.
The changes in mark_safe and mark_for_escaping are straightforward. The
more tricky part is to handle correctly objects that implement __html__.
Historically escape() has escaped SafeData. Even if that doesn't seem a
good behavior, changing it would create security concerns. Therefore
support for __html__() was only added to conditional_escape() where this
concern doesn't exist.
Then using conditional_escape() instead of escape() in the Django
template engine makes it understand data escaped by other libraries.
Template filter |escape accounts for __html__() when it's available.
|force_escape forces the use of Django's HTML escaping implementation.
Here's why the change in render_value_in_context() is safe. Before Django
1.7 conditional_escape() was implemented as follows:
if isinstance(text, SafeData):
return text
else:
return escape(text)
render_value_in_context() never called escape() on SafeData. Therefore
replacing escape() with conditional_escape() doesn't change the
autoescaping logic as it was originally intended.
This change should be backported to Django 1.7 because it corrects a
feature added in Django 1.7.
Thanks mitsuhiko for the report.
mark_safe and mark_for_escaping should have been kept similar.
On Python 2 this change has no effect. On Python 3 it fixes the use case
shown in the regression test for mark_for_escaping, which used to raise
a TypeError. The regression test for mark_safe is just for completeness.
