Django 5.0 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
============================================
*Expected December 2023*
Welcome to Django 5.0!
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-5.0>`, as well as
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-5.0>` you'll
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 4.2 or earlier. We've
:ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
<deprecated-features-5.0>`.
See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
project.
Python compatibility
====================
Django 5.0 supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12. We **highly recommend** and
only officially support the latest release of each series.
The Django 4.2.x series is the last to support Python 3.8 and 3.9.
Third-party library support for older version of Django
=======================================================
Following the release of Django 5.0, we suggest that third-party app authors
drop support for all versions of Django prior to 4.2. At that time, you should
be able to run your package's tests using ``python -Wd`` so that deprecation
warnings appear. After making the deprecation warning fixes, your app should be
compatible with Django 5.0.
.. _whats-new-5.0:
What's new in Django 5.0
========================
Facet filters in the admin
--------------------------
Facet counts are now shown for applied filters in the admin changelist when
toggled on via the UI. This behavior can be changed via the new
:attr:`.ModelAdmin.show_facets` attribute. For more information see
:ref:`facet-filters`.
Simplified templates for form field rendering
---------------------------------------------
Django 5.0 introduces the concept of a field group, and field group templates.
This simplifies rendering of the related elements of a Django form field such
as its label, widget, help text, and errors.
For example, the template below:
.. code-block:: html+django
<form>
...
<div>
{{ form.name.label_tag }}
{% if form.name.help_text %}
<div class="helptext" id="{{ form.name.id_for_label }}_helptext">
{{ form.name.help_text|safe }}
</div>
{% endif %}
{{ form.name.errors }}
{{ form.name }}
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
{{ form.email.label_tag }}
{% if form.email.help_text %}
<div class="helptext" id="{{ form.email.id_for_label }}_helptext">
{{ form.email.help_text|safe }}
</div>
{% endif %}
{{ form.email.errors }}
{{ form.email }}
</div>
<div class="col">
{{ form.password.label_tag }}
{% if form.password.help_text %}
<div class="helptext" id="{{ form.password.id_for_label }}_helptext">
{{ form.password.help_text|safe }}
</div>
{% endif %}
{{ form.password.errors }}
{{ form.password }}
</div>
</div>
</div>
...
</form>
Can now be simplified to:
.. code-block:: html+django
<form>
...
<div>
{{ form.name.as_field_group }}
<div class="row">
<div class="col">{{ form.email.as_field_group }}</div>
<div class="col">{{ form.password.as_field_group }}</div>
</div>
</div>
...
</form>
:meth:`~django.forms.BoundField.as_field_group` renders fields with the
``"django/forms/field.html"`` template by default and can be customized on a
per-project, per-field, or per-request basis. See
:ref:`reusable-field-group-templates`.
Database-computed default values
--------------------------------
The new :attr:`Field.db_default <django.db.models.Field.db_default>` parameter
sets a database-computed default value. For example::
from django.db import models
from django.db.models.functions import Now, Pi
class MyModel(models.Model):
age = models.IntegerField(db_default=18)
created = models.DateTimeField(db_default=Now())
circumference = models.FloatField(db_default=2 * Pi())

.. _backwards-incompatible-5.0:
Backwards incompatible changes in 5.0
=====================================
Database backend API
--------------------
This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
backends.
* ``DatabaseFeatures.supports_expression_defaults`` should be set to ``False``
if the database doesn't support using database functions as defaults.
* ``DatabaseFeatures.supports_default_keyword_in_insert`` should be set to
``False`` if the database doesn't support the ``DEFAULT`` keyword in
``INSERT`` queries.
* ``DatabaseFeatures.supports_default_keyword_in_bulk insert`` should be set to
``False`` if the database doesn't support the ``DEFAULT`` keyword in bulk
``INSERT`` queries.
:mod:`django.contrib.gis`
-------------------------
* Support for GDAL 2.2 and 2.3 is removed.
* Support for GEOS 3.6 and 3.7 is removed.
:mod:`django.contrib.sitemaps`
------------------------------
* The ``django.contrib.sitemaps.ping_google()`` function and the
``ping_google`` management command are removed as the Google
Sitemaps ping endpoint is deprecated and will be removed in January 2024.
* The ``django.contrib.sitemaps.SitemapNotFound`` exception class is removed.
Using ``create_defaults__exact`` may now be required with ``QuerySet.update_or_create()``
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:meth:`.QuerySet.update_or_create` now supports the parameter
``create_defaults``. As a consequence, any models that have a field named
``create_defaults`` that are used with an ``update_or_create()`` should specify
the field in the lookup with ``create_defaults__exact``.
Miscellaneous
-------------
* The ``instance`` argument of the undocumented
``BaseModelFormSet.save_existing()`` method is renamed to ``obj``.
* The undocumented ``django.contrib.admin.helpers.checkbox`` is removed.
* Integer fields are now validated as 64-bit integers on SQLite to match the
behavior of ``sqlite3``.
* The undocumented ``Query.annotation_select_mask`` attribute is changed from a
set of strings to an ordered list of strings.
* ``ImageField.update_dimension_fields()`` is no longer called on the
``post_init`` signal if ``width_field`` and ``height_field`` are not set.
* :class:`~django.db.models.functions.Now` database function now uses
``LOCALTIMESTAMP`` instead of ``CURRENT_TIMESTAMP`` on Oracle.
* :attr:`.AdminSite.site_header` is now rendered in a ``<div>`` tag instead of
``<h1>``. Screen reader users rely on heading elements for navigation within
a page. Having two ``<h1>`` elements was confusing and the site header wasn't
helpful as it is repeated on all pages.
* On databases without native support for the SQL ``XOR`` operator, ``^`` as
the exclusive or (``XOR``) operator now returns rows that are matched by an
odd number of operands rather than exactly one operand. This is consistent
with the behavior of MySQL, MariaDB, and Python.
* The minimum supported version of ``asgiref`` is increased from 3.6.0 to
3.7.0.
* The minimum supported version of ``selenium`` is increased from 3.8.0 to
4.8.0.
* The ``AlreadyRegistered`` and ``NotRegistered`` exceptions are moved from
``django.contrib.admin.sites`` to ``django.contrib.admin.exceptions``.
.. _deprecated-features-5.0:
Features deprecated in 5.0
==========================
Miscellaneous
-------------
* The ``DjangoDivFormRenderer`` and ``Jinja2DivFormRenderer`` transitional form
renderers are deprecated.
* Passing positional arguments ``name`` and ``violation_error_message`` to
:class:`~django.db.models.BaseConstraint` is deprecated in favor of
keyword-only arguments.
* ``request`` is added to the signature of :meth:`.ModelAdmin.lookup_allowed`.
Support for ``ModelAdmin`` subclasses that do not accept this argument is
deprecated.
* The ``get_joining_columns()`` method of ``ForeignObject`` and
``ForeignObjectRel`` is deprecated. Starting with Django 6.0,
``django.db.models.sql.datastructures.Join`` will no longer fallback to
``get_joining_columns()``. Subclasses should implement
``get_joining_fields()`` instead.
* The ``ForeignObject.get_reverse_joining_columns()`` method is deprecated.
* The default scheme for ``forms.URLField`` will change from ``"http"`` to
``"https"`` in Django 6.0.
* Support for calling ``format_html()`` without passing args or kwargs will be
removed.
