The Model.from_db() is intended to be used in cases where customization
of model loading is needed. Reasons can be performance, or adding custom
behavior to the model (for example "dirty field tracking" to issue
automatic update_fields when saving models).
A big thank you to Tim Graham for the review!
Previously, GET, POST, and FILES on an HttpRequest were created in
the __init__ method as dictionaries. This was not something you would
usually notice causing trouble in production as you'd only see a
WSGIRequest, but in testing using the test client, calling .getlist
on GET, POST, or FILES for a request with no get/post data resulted in
an AttributeError.
Changed GET and POST on an HttpRequest object to be mutable
QueryDicts (mutable because the Django tests, and probably many
third party tests, were expecting it).
Keeping backwards compatibility with test_runner.option_list is
tricky and would imply transforming an optparse.Option to an
argparse.Action. I choose to introduce a backwards incompatible
change because it only affects testing, not runtime behavior.
This patch is two-fold; first it ensure that Django does close everything in
request.FILES at the end of the request and secondly the storage system should
no longer close any files during save, it's up to the caller to handle that --
or let Django close the files at the end of the request.
It prevented the GZipMiddleware from compressing some data types even on
more recent version of IE where the corresponding bug was fixed.
Thanks Aaron Cannon for the report and Tim Graham for the review.
``HttpRequest.build_absolute_uri()`` now correctly handles paths starting with ``//``.
``WSGIRequest`` now doesn't remove all the leading slashes either,
because ``http://test/server`` and http://test//server`` aren't the same thing
(RFC2396).
Thanks to SmileyChris for the initial patch.
Refs #8620.
If we allow any value to remove form fields then we get name clashes
with method names, media classes etc. There was a backwards
incompatibility introduced meaning ModelForm subclasses with declared
fields called media or clean would lose those fields.
Field removal is now only permitted by using the sentinel value None.
The docs have been slightly reworded to refer to removal of fields
rather than shadowing.
Thanks to gcbirzan for the report and initial patch, and several of the
core team for opinions.
Previously the FORMAT_MODULE_PATH setting only accepted one string (dotted
module path). A feature has been added to also allow a list of strings.
This is useful when using several reusable third party apps that define new
formats. We can now use them all and we can even override some of the formats
by providing a project-wide format module.
