Django 2.0 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
============================================

Welcome to Django 2.0!

These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-2.0>`, as well as
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-2.0>` you'll
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 1.11 or earlier. We've
:ref:`dropped some features<removed-features-2.0>` that have reached the end of
their deprecation cycle, and we've :ref:`begun the deprecation process for some
features <deprecated-features-2.0>`.

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

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

Django 2.0 supports Python 3.5+. Since Django 1.11, support for Python 2.7 and
3.4 is removed. We **highly recommend** and only officially support the latest
release of each series.

Third-party library support for older version of Django
=======================================================

Following the release of Django 2.0, we suggest that third-party app authors
drop support for all versions of Django prior to 1.11. At that time, you should
be able run your package's tests using ``python -Wd`` so that deprecation
warnings do appear. After making the deprecation warning fixes, your app should
be compatible with Django 2.0.

Features removed in 2.0
=======================

These features have reached the end of their deprecation cycle and are removed
in Django 2.0. See :ref:`deprecated-features-1.9` and
:ref:`deprecated-features-1.10` for details, including how to remove usage of
these features.

* The ``weak`` argument to ``django.dispatch.signals.Signal.disconnect()`` is
  removed.

* ``django.db.backends.base.BaseDatabaseOperations.check_aggregate_support()``
  is removed.

* The ``django.forms.extras`` package is removed.

* The ``assignment_tag`` helper is removed.

* The ``host`` argument to ``SimpleTestCase.assertsRedirects()`` is removed.
  The compatibility layer which allows absolute URLs to be considered equal to
  relative ones when the path is identical is also removed.

* ``Field.rel`` and ``Field.remote_field.to`` are removed.

* The ``on_delete`` argument for ``ForeignKey`` and ``OneToOneField`` are now
  required.

* ``django.db.models.fields.add_lazy_relation()`` is removed.

* When time zone support is enabled, database backends that don't support time
  zones no longer convert aware datetimes to naive values in UTC anymore when
  such values are passed as parameters to SQL queries executed outside of the
  ORM, e.g. with ``cursor.execute()``.

* ``django.contrib.auth.tests.utils.skipIfCustomUser()`` is removed.

* The ``GeoManager`` and ``GeoQuerySet`` classes are removed.
