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 :setting:`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 :setting:`USE_DEPRECATED_PYTZ`
|
|
transitional setting is recommended if you need a gradual update path.

|
|
|
|
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``.
|
|
|
|

|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
:mod:`django.contrib.admin`
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|
|
a string.
|
|
|

|
|
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
|

|
|
|
: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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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>`,
|
|
:attr:`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.

|
|
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``.
