|
||
|
||
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-4.2>`, as well as
|
||
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-4.2>` you'll
|
||
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 4.1 or earlier. We've
|
||
:ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
|

See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
|

project.

Python compatibility
|

====================
|
||
|

Django 4.2 supports Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11. We **highly recommend**

Utilities
|
||
~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
* The new ``encoder`` parameter for :meth:`django.utils.html.json_script`
|
||
function allows customizing a JSON encoder class.
|
||
|
||
* The private internal vendored copy of ``urllib.parse.urlsplit()`` now strips
|
||
``'\r'``, ``'\n'``, and ``'\t'`` (see :cve:`2022-0391` and :bpo:`43882`).
|
||
This is to protect projects that may be incorrectly using the internal
|
||
``url_has_allowed_host_and_scheme()`` function, instead of using one of the
|
||
documented functions for handling URL redirects. The Django functions were
|
||
not affected.
|
||
|
||
Validators
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
* The list of common passwords used by ``CommonPasswordValidator`` is updated
|
||
to the most recent version.

.. _backwards-incompatible-4.2:
|
||
|
||
Backwards incompatible changes in 4.2
|
||
=====================================
|
||
|
||
Database backend API
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
|
||
backends.
|
||
|
||
* ``DatabaseFeatures.allows_group_by_pk`` is removed as it only remained to
|
||
accommodate a MySQL extension that has been supplanted by proper functional
|
||
dependency detection in MySQL 5.7.15. Note that
|
||
``DatabaseFeatures.allows_group_by_selected_pks`` is still supported and
|
||
should be enabled if your backend supports functional dependency detection in
|
||
``GROUP BY`` clauses as specified by the ``SQL:1999`` standard.
|
||
|
||
Dropped support for MariaDB 10.3
|
||
--------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Upstream support for MariaDB 10.3 ends in May 2023. Django 4.2 supports MariaDB
|
||
10.4 and higher.
|
||
|
||
Dropped support for MySQL 5.7
|
||
-----------------------------
|
||
|
||
Upstream support for MySQL 5.7 ends in October 2023. Django 4.2 supports MySQL
|
||
8 and higher.
|
||
|
||
Dropped support for PostgreSQL 11
|
||
---------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Upstream support for PostgreSQL 11 ends in November 2023. Django 4.2 supports
|
||
PostgreSQL 12 and higher.
|
||
|
||
Miscellaneous
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
* The undocumented ``SimpleTemplateResponse.rendering_attrs`` and
|
||
``TemplateResponse.rendering_attrs`` are renamed to ``non_picklable_attrs``.
|
||
|
||
* The undocumented ``django.http.multipartparser.parse_header()`` function is
|
||
removed. Use ``django.utils.http.parse_header_parameters()`` instead.
|
||
|
||
* :ttag:`{% blocktranslate asvar … %}<blocktranslate>` result is now marked as
|
||
safe for (HTML) output purposes.
|
||
|
||
* The ``autofocus`` HTML attribute in the admin search box is removed as it can
|
||
be confusing for screen readers.
|
||
|
||
* The :option:`makemigrations --check` option no longer creates missing
|
||
migration files.
|
||
|
||
* The ``alias`` argument for :meth:`.Expression.get_group_by_cols` is removed.
|
||
|
||
* The minimum supported version of ``sqlparse`` is increased from 0.2.2 to
|
||
0.2.3.
|
||
|
||
* The undocumented ``negated`` parameter of the
|
||
:class:`~django.db.models.Exists` expression is removed.
|
||
|
||
.. _deprecated-features-4.2:
|
||
|
||
Features deprecated in 4.2
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
``index_together`` option is deprecated in favor of ``indexes``
|
||
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
The :attr:`Meta.index_together <django.db.models.Options.index_together>`
|
||
option is deprecated in favor of the :attr:`~django.db.models.Options.indexes`
|
||
option.
|
||
|
||
Migrating existing ``index_together`` should be handled as a migration. For
|
||
example::
|
||
|
||
class Author(models.Model):
|
||
rank = models.IntegerField()
|
||
name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
|
||
|
||
class Meta:
|
||
index_together = [["rank", "name"]]
|
||
|
||
Should become::
|
||
|
||
class Author(models.Model):
|
||
rank = models.IntegerField()
|
||
name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
|
||
|
||
class Meta:
|
||
indexes = [models.Index(fields=["rank", "name"])]
|
||
|
||
Running the :djadmin:`makemigrations` command will generate a migration
|
||
containing a :class:`~django.db.migrations.operations.RenameIndex` operation
|
||
which will rename the existing index.
|
||
|
||
The ``AlterIndexTogether`` migration operation is now officially supported only
|
||
for pre-Django 4.2 migration files. For backward compatibility reasons, it's
|
||
still part of the public API, and there's no plan to deprecate or remove it,
|
||
but it should not be used for new migrations. Use
|
||
:class:`~django.db.migrations.operations.AddIndex` and
|
||
:class:`~django.db.migrations.operations.RemoveIndex` operations instead.
|
||
|
||
Miscellaneous
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
* The ``BaseUserManager.make_random_password()`` method is deprecated. See
|
||
`recipes and best practices
|
||
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/secrets.html#recipes-and-best-practices>`_
|
||
for using Python's :py:mod:`secrets` module to generate passwords.
|
||
|
||
* The ``length_is`` template filter is deprecated in favor of :tfilter:`length`
|
||
and the ``==`` operator within an :ttag:`{% if %}<if>` tag. For example
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: html+django
|
||
|
||
{% if value|length == 4 %}…{% endif %}
|
||
{% if value|length == 4 %}True{% else %}False{% endif %}
|
||
|
||
instead of:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: html+django
|
||
|
||
{% if value|length_is:4 %}…{% endif %}
|
||
{{ value|length_is:4 }}
|
||
|
||
* ``django.contrib.auth.hashers.SHA1PasswordHasher``,
|
||
``django.contrib.auth.hashers.UnsaltedSHA1PasswordHasher``, and
|
||
``django.contrib.auth.hashers.UnsaltedMD5PasswordHasher`` are deprecated.
|
||
|
||
* ``django.contrib.postgres.fields.CICharField`` is deprecated in favor of
|
||
``CharField(db_collation="…")`` with a case-insensitive non-deterministic
|
||
collation.
|
||
|
||
* ``django.contrib.postgres.fields.CIEmailField`` is deprecated in favor of
|
||
``EmailField(db_collation="…")`` with a case-insensitive non-deterministic
|
||
collation.
|
||
|
||
* ``django.contrib.postgres.fields.CITextField`` is deprecated in favor of
|
||
``TextField(db_collation="…")`` with a case-insensitive non-deterministic
|
||
collation.
|
||
|
||
* ``django.contrib.postgres.fields.CIText`` mixin is deprecated.
|
||
|
||
* The ``map_height`` and ``map_width`` attributes of ``BaseGeometryWidget`` are
|
||
deprecated, use CSS to size map widgets instead.
|
||
|
||
* ``SimpleTestCase.assertFormsetError()`` is deprecated in favor of
|
||
``assertFormSetError()``.
|
||
|
||
* ``TransactionTestCase.assertQuerysetEqual()`` is deprecated in favor of
|
||
``assertQuerySetEqual()``.
|
