Django 1.10 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
=============================================

Welcome to Django 1.10!

These release notes cover the `new features`_, as well as some `backwards
incompatible changes`_ you'll want to be aware of when upgrading from Django
1.9 or older versions. We've :ref:`dropped some features<removed-features-1.10>`
that have reached the end of their deprecation cycle, and we've `begun the
deprecation process for some features`_.

Python compatibility
====================

Like Django 1.9, Django 1.10 requires Python 2.7, 3.4, or 3.5. We **highly
recommend** and only officially support the latest release of each series.

Backwards incompatible changes in 1.10
======================================

.. warning::

    In addition to the changes outlined in this section, be sure to review the
    :ref:`removed-features-1.10` for the features that have reached the end of
    their deprecation cycle and therefore been removed. If you haven't updated
    your code within the deprecation timeline for a given feature, its removal
    may appear as a backwards incompatible change.

========================

These features have reached the end of their deprecation cycle and so have been
removed in Django 1.10 (please see the :ref:`deprecation timeline
<deprecation-removed-in-1.10>` for more details):

  ``quote_name_unless_alias`` method is removed.

  template tag library.

* Support for the ``prefix`` argument to
  ``django.conf.urls.i18n.i18n_patterns()`` is removed.

* ``SimpleTestCase.urls`` is removed.

* Using an incorrect count of unpacked values in the ``for`` template tag
  raises an exception rather than failing silently.

* The ability to :func:`~django.core.urlresolvers.reverse` URLs using a dotted
  Python path is removed.

  * Methods: ``add_aggregate``, ``set_aggregate_mask``, and
    ``append_aggregate_mask``.

* ``django.template.resolve_variable`` is removed.

* The following private APIs are removed from
  :class:`django.db.models.options.Options` (``Model._meta``):

  * ``get_field_by_name()``
  * ``get_all_field_names()``
  * ``get_fields_with_model()``
  * ``get_concrete_fields_with_model()``
  * ``get_m2m_with_model()``
  * ``get_all_related_objects()``
  * ``get_all_related_objects_with_model()``
  * ``get_all_related_many_to_many_objects()``
  * ``get_all_related_m2m_objects_with_model()``

* ``django.db.models.field.subclassing.SubfieldBase`` is removed.

* ``django.utils.checksums`` is removed.

* The ``original_content_type_id`` attribute on

  defined with no default value for its ``form_class`` argument is removed.

* The following settings are removed:

  * ``ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS``
  * ``TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS``
  * ``TEMPLATE_DEBUG``
  * ``TEMPLATE_DIRS``
  * ``TEMPLATE_LOADERS``
  * ``TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID``

* The backwards compatibility alias ``django.template.loader.BaseLoader`` is
  removed.

* Django template objects returned by
  :func:`~django.template.loader.get_template` and
  :func:`~django.template.loader.select_template` no longer accept a
  :class:`~django.template.Context` in their
  :meth:`~django.template.backends.base.Template.render()` method.

* :doc:`Template response APIs </ref/template-response>` enforce the use of
  :class:`dict` and backend-dependent template objects instead of
  :class:`~django.template.Context` and :class:`~django.template.Template`
  respectively.

* The ``current_app`` parameter for the following function and classes is
  removed:

  removed.

* Support for the legacy ``%(<foo>)s`` syntax in ``ModelFormMixin.success_url``
  is removed.
