============================================
Welcome to Django 2.1!
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-2.1>`, as well as
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-2.1>` you'll
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 2.0 or earlier. We've
:ref:`dropped some features<removed-features-2.1>` that have reached the end of
their deprecation cycle, and we've :ref:`begun the deprecation process for some

project.
Python compatibility
====================
Django 2.1 supports Python 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7. Django 2.0 is the last version to

.. _backwards-incompatible-2.1:
Backwards incompatible changes in 2.1
=====================================
Database backend API
--------------------
* To adhere to :pep:`249`, exceptions where a database doesn't support a
feature are changed from :exc:`NotImplementedError` to
:exc:`django.db.NotSupportedError`.
:mod:`django.contrib.gis`
-------------------------
* Support for SpatiaLite 4.0 is removed.
Dropped support for MySQL 5.5
-----------------------------
The end of upstream support for MySQL 5.5 is December 2018. Django 2.1 supports
MySQL 5.6 and higher.
Dropped support for PostgreSQL 9.3
----------------------------------
The end of upstream support for PostgreSQL 9.3 is September 2018. Django 2.1
supports PostgreSQL 9.4 and higher.
Miscellaneous
-------------
* The minimum supported version of ``mysqlclient`` is increased from 1.3.3 to
1.3.7.
* The date format of ``Set-Cookie``'s ``Expires`` directive is changed to
follow :rfc:`7231#section-7.1.1.1` instead of Netscape's cookie standard.
Hyphens present in dates like ``Tue, 25-Dec-2018 22:26:13 GMT`` are removed.
This change should be merely cosmetic except perhaps for antiquated browsers
that don't parse the new format.
* ``allowed_hosts`` is now a required argument of private API
``django.utils.http.is_safe_url()``.
* The ``multiple`` attribute rendered by the
:class:`~django.forms.SelectMultiple` widget now uses HTML5 boolean syntax
rather than XHTML's ``multiple="multiple"``.
* HTML rendered by form widgets no longer includes a closing slash on void
elements, e.g. ``<br>``. This is incompatible within XHTML, although some
widgets already used aspects of HTML5 such as boolean attributes.
.. _deprecated-features-2.1:
Features deprecated in 2.1
==========================
Miscellaneous
-------------
* The ``ForceRHR`` GIS function is deprecated in favor of the new
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.ForcePolygonCW` function.
* ``django.utils.http.cookie_date()`` is deprecated in favor of
:func:`~django.utils.http.http_date`, which follows the format of the latest
RFC.
* ``{% load staticfiles %}`` and ``{% load admin_static %}`` are deprecated
in favor of ``{% load static %}``, which works the same.
* ``django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.static()`` is deprecated in favor
of ``django.templatetags.static.static()``.
.. _removed-features-2.1:
