The settings reference documentation doesn't seem the right place to
invite users to write their own db and cache backends.
Also the actual wording makes the task sound trivial, which is hardly
the case; writing a custom db backend is a very difficult task, and
writing a custom cache backend is full of gotcha.
This was particularly problematic in the chain get_wsgi_application
-> db.connections import -> signal connection -> settings configuration.
Thanks Jon Dufresne for the report.
Removed multiple locales separated by commas variation (that wasn't
working as documented) in favor of simply allowing use of the
``--locale``/``-l`` options more than once for ``makemessages`` and
``compilemessages``.
Thanks Romain Beylerian for the report and Claude, Simon for their help.

Fixed#21012 -- Thread-local caches, like databases.
The issue was that two M2M hidden reverse managers
(related_name ending with a '+') could clash with each other.
Refs #21375 and #15932. Thanks Baptiste.
Added an explicit mention of the exact value ranges for integer type
fields that are safe in all databases supported by Django. Also, put
all value numbers inside double ticks.
Requests made with django.test.Client.login() and logout() respect
defaults defined in django.test.Client instantiation and are processed
through middleware.
Thanks to Loic for the reviews.
The GenericRelation refactoring removed GenericRelations from
model._meta.many_to_many. This had the side effect of disallowing
editable GenericRelations in ModelForms. Editable GenericRelations
aren't officially supported, but if we don't fix this we don't offer any
upgrade path for those who used the ability to set editable=True
in GenericRelation subclass.
Thanks to Trac alias joshcartme for the report and stephencmd and Loic
for working on this issue.
Also removed a sentence that was incorrect: raising a
`ValidationError` inside `Form.clean` doesn't clear the
`cleaned_data` attribute.
Thanks to loic84 and timograham for the review.
Exposing the level name (e.g. "info") makes it possible to prepend
something to the class name. For example, Twitter Bootstrap has
an alert-info class. This class can now be added to the message
using `class="alert-{{ message.level_tag }}".
Because the level_tag was on the end of the `tags` property, it
could not be used in this fashion when extra_tags were given.
Replaced the custom, untested memoize with a similar decorator from Python's
3.2 stdlib. Although some minor performance degradation (see ticket), it is
expected that in the long run lru_cache will outperform memoize once it is
implemented in C.
Thanks to EvilDMP for the report and Baptiste Mispelon for the idea of
replacing memoize with lru_cache.
Reorganized the MySQLdb section into a "MySQL DB API Drivers" section that describes both MySQLdb and MySQL Connector/Python. Included description of the Django adaptors for these DB API drivers.
Corrected LANGUAGES documentation on how to translate language
names. Now using django.utils.translation.ugettext_lazy instead
of a dummy gettext() function.
Thanks to Salvatore for the report.
Filtering out static file requests in runserver has been judged
arbitrary and can hide some debugging-related activity.
Thanks Roy Smith for the report and Aymeric Augustin for the
review.
The EmailMessage documentation describes the initialization parameters
and states they 'can be set at any time prior to calling the send()
method.'. However, the 'headers' parameter's corresponding attribute is
called 'extra_headers'.
Add the trimmed option to the blocktrans tag to trim any newlines and
whitespace from its content.
This allows the developer to indent the blocktrans tag without adding
new lines and whitespace to the msgid in the PO file.
Thanks to mpessas for the initial patch and Dmitri Fedortchenko for the
report.
Scheme is handled correctly when making comparisons between two URLs. If
there isn't any scheme specified in the location where we are redirected to,
the original request's scheme is used. If present, the scheme in
``expected_url`` is the one used to make the comparations to.
* Safer for use in multiprocess environments
* Better random culling
* Cache files use less disk space
* Safer delete behavior
Also fixed#15806, fixed#15825.
This patch introduces the Prefetch object which allows customizing prefetch
operations.
This enables things like filtering prefetched relations, calling select_related
from a prefetched relation, or prefetching the same relation multiple times
with different querysets.
When a Prefetch instance specifies a to_attr argument, the result is stored
in a list rather than a QuerySet. This has the fortunate consequence of being
significantly faster. The preformance improvement is due to the fact that we
save the costly creation of a QuerySet instance.
Thanks @akaariai for the original patch and @bmispelon and @timgraham
for the reviews.
Language codes for Chinese are zh_Hans (Simplified) and zh_Hant (Traditional).
Added support for browsers that still send the deprecated language codes.
Thanks to Olli Wang for the report.
All request methods of ``django.test.client.Client`` receive a ``secure``
argument that defaults to ``False`` indicating whether or not to make the
request through https.
Thanks Aymeric Augustin for the review.
Used pyinotify (when available) to replace the "pool-every-one-second"
mechanism in `django.utils.autoreload`.
Thanks Chris Lamb and Pascal Hartig for work on the patch.
``ModelAdmin.view_on_site`` defines wether to show a link to the object on the
admin detail page. If ``True``, cleverness (i.e. ``Model.get_absolute_url``) is
used to get the url. If it's a callable, the callable is called with the object
as the only parameter. If ``False``, not link is displayed.
With the aim of maitaining backwards compatibility, ``True`` is the default.
Previously, when collecting static files, the files would receive permission
from FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS. Now, there's an option to give different
permission from uploaded files permission by subclassing any of the static
files storage classes and setting the file_permissions_mode parameter.
Thanks dblack at atlassian.com for the suggestion.
Thanks dan at dlo.me for the initial patch.
- Added __pow__ and __rpow__ to ExpressionNode
- Added oracle and mysql specific power expressions
- Added used-defined power function for sqlite
The old 'django_language' variable will still be read from in order
to migrate users. The backwards-compatability shim will be removed in
Django 1.8.
Thanks to jdunck for the report and stugots for the initial patch.
select_related('foo').select_related('bar') is now equivalent to
select_related('foo', 'bar').
Also reworded docs to recommend select_related(*fields) over select_related()
`HttpRequest.scheme` is `https` if `settings.SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER` is
appropriately set and falls back to `HttpRequest._get_scheme()` (a hook
for subclasses to implement) otherwise.
`WSGIRequest._get_scheme()` makes use of the `wsgi.url_scheme` WSGI
environ variable to determine the request scheme.
`HttpRequest.is_secure()` simply checks if `HttpRequest.scheme` is
`https`.
This provides a way to check the current scheme in templates, for example.
It also allows us to deal with other schemes.
Thanks nslater for the suggestion.
The ModelForm docs suggested that fields defined declaratively override
default fields generated from the form Meta.
This is conceptually wrong, especially with inheritance in mind. Meta is
usually defined on the topmost ModelForm subclass, while fields can come
from anywhere in the MRO, especially base classes; therefore we suggested
that something defined in a base class override something from a subclass.
This patch rephrases the docs around the idea that Meta is used to generate
*missing* fields.
Refs #8620, #19617.
Thanks @mjtamlyn and @timgraham for the review.
Added ``--natural-foreign`` and ``--natural-primary`` options and
deprecated the ``--natural`` option to the ``dumpdata`` management
command.
Added ``use_natural_foreign_keys`` and ``use_natural_primary_keys``
arguments and deprecated the ``use_natural_keys`` argument to
``django.core.serializers.Serializer.serialize()``.
Thanks SmileyChris for the suggestion.
The package renaming restores the older package names (which were also the
documented package names). This doesn't affect test discovery because the
module in question doesn't contain any tests.
Thanks to Carl for the design discussion.
Added docs/internals/mailing-lists.txt documenting the use of django's
mailing lists. All references across docs changed to point to this page.
The referencing makes use of substitution because there's no way to make
a :ref: link in a non-inline fashion in Sphinx. It also makes use of
rst_epilog Sphinx conf for making this substitutions across all the
docs.
The precision of time.time() is OS specific and it is possible for the
resolution to be low enough to allow reading a cache key previously set
with a timeout of 0.

Fixed TransactionManagementError in tests.
Previous commit introduced an additional check to prevent running
queries in transactions that will be rolled back, which triggered a few
failures in the tests. In practice using transaction.atomic instead of
the low-level savepoint APIs was enough to fix the problems.
commit 4a639b059ea80aeb78f7f160a7d4b9f609b9c238
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>

Allowed nesting constraint_checks_disabled inside atomic.
Since MySQL handles transactions loosely, this isn't a problem.
commit 2a4ab1cb6e83391ff7e25d08479e230ca564bfef
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>

Prevented running queries in transactions that will be rolled back.
This avoids a counter-intuitive behavior in an edge case on databases
with non-atomic transaction semantics.
It prevents using savepoint_rollback() inside an atomic block without
calling set_rollback(False) first, which is backwards-incompatible in
tests.
Refs #21134.
commit 8e3db393853c7ac64a445b66e57f3620a3fde7b0
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date: Sun Sep 22 22:14:17 2013 +0200
Replaced manual savepoints by atomic blocks.
This ensures the rollback flag is handled consistently in internal APIs.
Previously, if a database request spanned a related object manager, the
first manager encountered would cause a request to the router, and this
would bind all subsequent queries to the same database returned by the
router. Unfortunately, the first router query would be performed using
a read request to the router, resulting in bad routing information being
used if the subsequent query was actually a write.
This change defers the call to the router until the final query is acutally
made.
It includes a small *BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY* on an edge case - see the
release notes for details.
Thanks to Paul Collins (@paulcollinsiii) for the excellent debugging
work and patch.
* Move the discussion of CachedStaticFilesStorage to the section about
HTTP. It's really about client-side caching. It doesn't fit with the
caching utilities from django.utils.functional.
* Tone down the warning against Pypy as per Alex' feedback. It's a valid
choice for advanced users who are comfortable using a non-standard
stack.
* Generally reworded the 'Using different versions of available software'
section.
* Some other minor adjustments to the document.
* Limit the password length to 4096 bytes
* Password hashers will raise a ValueError
* django.contrib.auth forms will fail validation
* Document in release notes that this is a backwards incompatible change
Thanks to Josh Wright for the report, and Donald Stufft for the patch.
This is a security fix; disclosure to follow shortly.
Since non-core contributors are asked to review patches, instructions
on working with pull requests were added to the Working with Git and
GitHub page (based on the existing instructions in the core
committers page).
- Fixed some grammar and formatting mistakes
- Added the type and default for CULL_FREQUENCY
- Made the note on culling the entire cache more precise. (It's actually
slower on the filesystem backend.)
This commit deprecates django.utils.tzinfo in favor of the more recent
django.utils.timezone which was introduced when Django gained support
for time zones.
* override_settings may now be imported from django.test
* removed Approximate from django.test
* updated documentation for things importable from django.test
Thanks akaariai for the suggestion.
AdminSite now has overridable site_header, site_title and index_title attributes. Changed
each admin view to pass these to the context (in a new AdminSite.each_context() method).
The intent here is to make it easier to override these things in the common case, instead of
having to override a template, which is a bigger burden.
