  1. ============================================
  2. Django 2.0 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
  3. ============================================
  4. Welcome to Django 2.0!
  5. These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-2.0>`, as well as
  6. some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-2.0>` you'll
  7. want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 1.11 or earlier. We've
  8. :ref:`dropped some features<removed-features-2.0>` that have reached the end of
  9. their deprecation cycle, and we've :ref:`begun the deprecation process for some
  10. features <deprecated-features-2.0>`.
  11. See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
  12. project.
  13. Python compatibility
  14. ====================
  15. Django 2.0 supports Python 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. We **highly recommend** and only
  16. officially support the latest release of each series.
  17. The Django 1.11.x series is the last to support Python 2.7.
  18. Django 2.0 will be the last release series to support Python 3.4. If you plan
  19. a deployment of Python 3.4 beyond the end-of-life for Django 2.0 (April 2019),
  20. stick with Django 1.11 LTS (supported until April 2020) instead. Note, however,
  21. that the end-of-life for Python 3.4 is March 2019.
  22. Third-party library support for older version of Django
  23. =======================================================
  24. Following the release of Django 2.0, we suggest that third-party app authors
  25. drop support for all versions of Django prior to 1.11. At that time, you should
  26. be able run your package's tests using ``python -Wd`` so that deprecation
  27. warnings do appear. After making the deprecation warning fixes, your app should
  28. be compatible with Django 2.0.

  119. manager, e.g. ``with file.open() as f:``.
  120. File Uploads
  121. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
  122. * ...
  123. Forms
  124. ~~~~~
  125. * The new ``date_attrs`` and ``time_attrs`` arguments for
  126. :class:`~django.forms.SplitDateTimeWidget` and
  127. :class:`~django.forms.SplitHiddenDateTimeWidget` allow specifying different
  128. HTML attributes for the ``DateInput`` and ``TimeInput`` (or hidden)
  129. subwidgets.
  130. * The new :meth:`Form.errors.get_json_data()
  131. <django.forms.Form.errors.get_json_data>` method returns form errors as
  132. a dictionary suitable for including in a JSON response.
  133. Generic Views
  134. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  135. * The new :attr:`.ContextMixin.extra_context` attribute allows adding context
  136. in ``View.as_view()``.
  137. Internationalization
  138. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  139. * ...
  140. Management Commands
  141. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  142. * :djadmin:`inspectdb` now translates MySQL's unsigned integer columns to
  143. ``PositiveIntegerField`` or ``PositiveSmallIntegerField``.
  144. * The new :option:`makemessages --add-location` option controls the comment
  145. format in PO files.
  146. * :djadmin:`loaddata` can now :ref:`read from stdin <loading-fixtures-stdin>`.
  147. * The new :option:`diffsettings --output` option allows formatting the output
  148. in a unified diff format.
  149. * On Oracle, :djadmin:`inspectdb` can now introspect ``AutoField`` if the
  150. column is created as an identity column.
  151. * On MySQL, :djadmin:`dbshell` now supports client-side TLS certificates.
  152. Migrations
  153. ~~~~~~~~~~
  154. * The new :option:`squashmigrations --squashed-name` option allows naming
  155. the squashed migration.
  156. Models
  157. ~~~~~~
  158. * The new :class:`~django.db.models.functions.StrIndex` database function
  159. finds the starting index of a string inside another string.
  160. * On Oracle, ``AutoField`` and ``BigAutoField`` are now created as `identity
  161. columns`_.
  162. .. _`identity columns`: https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/DRDAA/migr_tools_feat.htm#DRDAA109
  163. * The new ``chunk_size`` parameter of :meth:`.QuerySet.iterator` controls the
  164. number of rows fetched by the Python database client when streaming results
  165. from the database. For databases that don't support server-side cursors, it
  166. controls the number of results Django fetches from the database adapter.
  167. * Added the :class:`~django.db.models.functions.datetime.ExtractQuarter`
  168. function to extract the quarter from :class:`~django.db.models.DateField` and
  169. :class:`~django.db.models.DateTimeField`, and exposed it through the
  170. :lookup:`quarter` lookup.
  171. * Added the :class:`~django.db.models.functions.datetime.TruncQuarter`
  172. function to truncate :class:`~django.db.models.DateField` and
  173. :class:`~django.db.models.DateTimeField` to the first day of a quarter.
  174. * Added the :attr:`~django.db.models.Index.db_tablespace` parameter to
  175. class-based indexes.
  176. * If the database supports a native duration field (Oracle and PostgreSQL),
  177. :class:`~django.db.models.functions.datetime.Extract` now works with
  178. :class:`~django.db.models.DurationField`.
  179. * Added the ``of`` argument to :meth:`.QuerySet.select_for_update()`, supported
  180. on PostgreSQL and Oracle, to lock only rows from specific tables rather than
  181. all selected tables. It may be helpful particularly when
  182. :meth:`~.QuerySet.select_for_update()` is used in conjunction with
  183. :meth:`~.QuerySet.select_related()`.
  184. * The new ``field_name`` parameter of :meth:`.QuerySet.in_bulk` allows fetching
  185. results based on any unique model field.
  186. Requests and Responses
  187. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  188. * The :djadmin:`runserver` Web server supports HTTP 1.1.
  189. Serialization

  192. Signals
  193. ~~~~~~~
  194. * ...
  195. Templates
  196. ~~~~~~~~~
  197. * To increase the usefulness of :meth:`.Engine.get_default` in third-party
  198. apps, it now returns the first engine if multiple ``DjangoTemplates`` engines
  199. are configured in ``TEMPLATES`` rather than raising ``ImproperlyConfigured``.
  200. * Custom template tags may now accept keyword-only arguments.
  201. Tests
  202. ~~~~~
  203. * Added threading support to :class:`~django.test.LiveServerTestCase`.
  204. * Added settings that allow customizing the test tablespace parameters for
  205. Oracle: :setting:`DATAFILE_SIZE`, :setting:`DATAFILE_TMP_SIZE`,
  206. :setting:`DATAFILE_EXTSIZE`, and :setting:`DATAFILE_TMP_EXTSIZE`.

  213. .. _backwards-incompatible-2.0:
  214. Backwards incompatible changes in 2.0
  215. =====================================
  216. Removed support for bytestrings in some places
  217. ----------------------------------------------
  218. To support native Python 2 strings, older Django versions had to accept both
  219. bytestrings and unicode strings. Now that Python 2 support is dropped,
  220. bytestrings should only be encountered around input/output boundaries (handling
  221. of binary fields or HTTP streams, for example). You might have to update your
  222. code to limit bytestring usage to a minimum, as Django no longer accepts
  223. bytestrings in certain code paths.
  224. Database backend API
  225. --------------------
  226. This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
  227. backends.
  228. * The ``DatabaseOperations.datetime_cast_date_sql()``,
  229. ``datetime_cast_time_sql()``, ``datetime_trunc_sql()``,
  230. ``datetime_extract_sql()``, and ``date_interval_sql()`` methods now return
  231. only the SQL to perform the operation instead of SQL and a list of
  232. parameters.
  233. * Third-party database backends should add a ``DatabaseWrapper.display_name``
  234. attribute with the name of the database that your backend works with. Django
  235. may use it in various messages, such as in system checks.
  236. * The first argument of ``SchemaEditor._alter_column_type_sql()`` is now
  237. ``model`` rather than ``table``.
  238. * The first argument of ``SchemaEditor._create_index_name()`` is now
  239. ``table_name`` rather than ``model``.
  240. * To enable ``FOR UPDATE OF`` support, set
  241. ``DatabaseFeatures.has_select_for_update_of = True``. If the database
  242. requires that the arguments to ``OF`` be columns rather than tables, set
  243. ``DatabaseFeatures.select_for_update_of_column = True``.
  244. * Third-party database backends should add a
  245. ``DatabaseOperations.cast_char_field_without_max_length`` attribute with the
  246. database data type that will be used in the
  247. :class:`~django.db.models.functions.Cast` function for a ``CharField`` if the
  248. ``max_length`` argument isn't provided.
  249. Dropped support for Oracle 11.2
  250. -------------------------------
  251. The end of upstream support for Oracle 11.2 is Dec. 2020. Django 1.11 will be
  252. supported until April 2020 which almost reaches this date. Django 2.0
  253. officially supports Oracle 12.1+.
  254. Default MySQL isolation level is read committed
  255. -----------------------------------------------
  256. MySQL's default isolation level, repeatable read, may cause data loss in
  257. typical Django usage. To prevent that and for consistency with other databases,
  258. the default isolation level is now read committed. You can use the
  259. :setting:`DATABASES` setting to :ref:`use a different isolation level
  260. <mysql-isolation-level>`, if needed.
  261. :attr:`AbstractUser.last_name <django.contrib.auth.models.User.last_name>` ``max_length`` increased to 150
  262. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  263. A migration for :attr:`django.contrib.auth.models.User.last_name` is included.
  264. If you have a custom user model inheriting from ``AbstractUser``, you'll need
  265. to generate and apply a database migration for your user model.
  266. If you want to preserve the 30 character limit for last names, use a custom
  267. form::
  268. from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserChangeForm
  269. class MyUserChangeForm(UserChangeForm):
  270. last_name = forms.CharField(max_length=30, required=False)
  271. If you wish to keep this restriction in the admin when editing users, set
  272. ``UserAdmin.form`` to use this form::
  273. from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
  274. from django.contrib.auth.models import User
  275. class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
  276. form = MyUserChangeForm
  277. admin.site.unregister(User)
  278. admin.site.register(User, MyUserAdmin)
  279. ``QuerySet.reverse()`` and ``last()`` are prohibited after slicing
  280. ------------------------------------------------------------------
  281. Calling ``QuerySet.reverse()`` or ``last()`` on a sliced queryset leads to
  282. unexpected results due to the slice being applied after reordering. This is
  283. now prohibited, e.g.::
  284. >>> Model.objects.all()[:2].reverse()
  285. Traceback (most recent call last):
  286. ...
  287. TypeError: Cannot reverse a query once a slice has been taken.
  288. Form fields no longer accept optional arguments as positional arguments
  289. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  290. To help prevent runtime errors due to incorrect ordering of form field
  291. arguments, optional arguments of built-in form fields are no longer accepted
  292. as positional arguments. For example::
  293. forms.IntegerField(25, 10)
  294. raises an exception and should be replaced with::
  295. forms.IntegerField(max_value=25, min_value=10)
  296. ``call_command()`` validates the options it receives
  297. ----------------------------------------------------
  298. ``call_command()`` now validates that the argument parser of the command being
  299. called defines all of the options passed to ``call_command()``.
  300. For custom management commands that use options not created using
  301. ``parser.add_argument()``, add a ``stealth_options`` attribute on the command::
  302. class MyCommand(BaseCommand):
  303. stealth_options = ('option_name', ...)
  304. Indexes no longer accept positional arguments
  305. ---------------------------------------------
  306. For example::
  307. models.Index(['headline', '-pub_date'], 'index_name')
  308. raises an exception and should be replaced with::
  309. models.Index(fields=['headline', '-pub_date'], name='index_name')
  310. Foreign key constraints are now enabled on SQLite
  311. -------------------------------------------------
  312. This will appear as a backwards-incompatible change (``IntegrityError:
  313. FOREIGN KEY constraint failed``) if attempting to save an existing model
  314. instance that's violating a foreign key constraint.
  315. Foreign keys are now created with ``DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED`` instead of
  316. ``DEFERRABLE IMMEDIATE``. Thus, tables may need to be rebuilt to recreate
  317. foreign keys with the new definition, particularly if you're using a pattern
  318. like this::
  319. from django.db import transaction
  320. with transaction.atomic():
  321. Book.objects.create(author_id=1)
  322. Author.objects.create(id=1)
  323. If you don't recreate the foreign key as ``DEFERRED``, the first ``create()``
  324. would fail now that foreign key constraints are enforced.
  325. Backup your database first! After upgrading to Django 2.0, you can then
  326. rebuild tables using a script similar to this::
  327. from django.apps import apps
  328. from django.db import connection
  329. for app in apps.get_app_configs():
  330. for model in app.get_models(include_auto_created=True):
  331. if model._meta.managed and not (model._meta.proxy or model._meta.swapped):
  332. for base in model.__bases__:
  333. if hasattr(base, '_meta'):
  334. base._meta.local_many_to_many = []
  335. model._meta.local_many_to_many = []
  336. with connection.schema_editor() as editor:
  337. editor._remake_table(model)
  338. This script hasn't received extensive testing and needs adaption for various
  339. cases such as multiple databases. Feel free to contribute improvements.
  340. Miscellaneous
  341. -------------
  342. * The ``SessionAuthenticationMiddleware`` class is removed. It provided no
  343. functionality since session authentication is unconditionally enabled in
  344. Django 1.10.
  345. * The default HTTP error handlers (``handler404``, etc.) are now callables
  346. instead of dotted Python path strings. Django favors callable references
  347. since they provide better performance and debugging experience.
  348. * :class:`~django.views.generic.base.RedirectView` no longer silences
  349. ``NoReverseMatch`` if the ``pattern_name`` doesn't exist.
  350. * When :setting:`USE_L10N` is off, :class:`~django.forms.FloatField` and
  351. :class:`~django.forms.DecimalField` now respect :setting:`DECIMAL_SEPARATOR`
  352. and :setting:`THOUSAND_SEPARATOR` during validation. For example, with the
  353. settings::
  354. USE_L10N = False
  355. USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = True
  356. DECIMAL_SEPARATOR = ','
  357. THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = '.'
  358. an input of ``"1.345"`` is now converted to ``1345`` instead of ``1.345``.
  359. * Subclasses of :class:`~django.contrib.auth.models.AbstractBaseUser` are no
  360. longer required to implement ``get_short_name()`` and ``get_full_name()``.
  361. (The base implementations that raise ``NotImplementedError`` are removed.)
  362. ``django.contrib.admin`` uses these methods if implemented but doesn't
  363. require them. Third-party apps that use these methods may want to adopt a
  364. similar approach.
  365. * The ``FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK`` and ``NUMBER_GROUPING`` format settings are now
  366. kept as integers in JavaScript and JSON i18n view outputs.
  367. * :meth:`~django.test.TransactionTestCase.assertNumQueries` now ignores
  368. connection configuration queries. Previously, if a test opened a new database
  369. connection, those queries could be included as part of the
  370. ``assertNumQueries()`` count.
  371. * The ``PASSWORD_RESET_TIMEOUT_DAYS`` setting is more properly respected in
  372. ``contrib.auth`` password reset. Previously, resets were allowed for one day
  373. longer than expected. For example, with the default of
  374. ``PASSWORD_RESET_TIMEOUT_DAYS = 3``, password reset tokens are now valid for
  375. 72 hours rather than 96 hours.
  376. * The default size of the Oracle test tablespace is increased from 20M to 50M
  377. and the default autoextend size is increased from 10M to 25M.
  378. * To improve performance when streaming large result sets from the database,
  379. :meth:`.QuerySet.iterator` now fetches 2000 rows at a time instead of 100.
  380. The old behavior can be restored using the ``chunk_size`` parameter. For
  381. example::
  382. Book.objects.iterator(chunk_size=100)
  383. * Providing unknown package names in the ``packages`` argument of the
  384. :class:`~django.views.i18n.JavaScriptCatalog` view now raises ``ValueError``
  385. instead of passing silently.
  386. * A model instance's primary key now appears in the default ``Model.__str__()``
  387. method, e.g. ``Question object (1)``.
  388. * ``makemigrations`` now detects changes to the model field ``limit_choices_to``
  389. option. Add this to your existing migrations or accept an auto-generated
  390. migration for fields that use it.
  391. * Performing queries that require :ref:`automatic spatial transformations
  392. <automatic-spatial-transformations>` now raises ``NotImplementedError``
  393. on MySQL instead of silently using non-transformed geometries.
  394. * ``django.core.exceptions.DjangoRuntimeWarning`` is removed. It was only used
  395. in the cache backend as an intermediate class in ``CacheKeyWarning``'s
  396. inheritance of ``RuntimeWarning``.
  397. * Renamed ``BaseExpression._output_field`` to ``output_field``. You may need
  398. to update custom expressions.
  399. * In older versions, forms and formsets combine their ``Media`` with widget
  400. ``Media`` by concatenating the two. The combining now tries to :ref:`preserve
  401. the relative order of elements in each list <form-media-asset-order>`.
  402. ``MediaOrderConflictWarning`` is issued if the order can't be preserved.
  403. .. _deprecated-features-2.0:
  404. Features deprecated in 2.0
  405. ==========================
  406. ``context`` argument of ``Field.from_db_value()`` and ``Expression.convert_value()``
  407. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  408. The ``context`` argument of ``Field.from_db_value()`` and
  409. ``Expression.convert_value()`` is unused as it's always an empty dictionary.
  410. The signature of both methods is now::
  411. (self, value, expression, connection)
  412. instead of::
  413. (self, value, expression, connection, context)
  414. Support for the old signature in custom fields and expressions remains until
  415. Django 3.0.
  416. Miscellaneous
  417. -------------
  418. * The ``django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2`` module is deprecated in favor
  419. of ``django.db.backends.postgresql``. It's been an alias since Django 1.9.
  420. This only affects code that imports from the module directly. The
  421. ``DATABASES`` setting can still use
  422. ``'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2'``, though you can simplify that by
  423. using the ``'django.db.backends.postgresql'`` name added in Django 1.9.
  424. * ``django.shortcuts.render_to_response()`` is deprecated in favor of
  425. :func:`django.shortcuts.render`. ``render()`` takes the same arguments
  426. except that is also requires a ``request``.
  427. * The ``DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE`` setting is deprecated. It doesn't interact well
  428. well with third-party apps and is obsolete since HTML5 has mostly superseded
  429. XHTML.
  430. * ``HttpRequest.xreadlines()`` is deprecated in favor of iterating over the
  431. request.
  432. .. _removed-features-2.0:
  433. Features removed in 2.0
  434. =======================
  435. These features have reached the end of their deprecation cycle and are removed
  436. in Django 2.0. See :ref:`deprecated-features-1.9` and
  437. :ref:`deprecated-features-1.10` for details, including how to remove usage of
  438. these features.
  439. * The ``weak`` argument to ``django.dispatch.signals.Signal.disconnect()`` is
  440. removed.
  441. * ``django.db.backends.base.BaseDatabaseOperations.check_aggregate_support()``
  442. is removed.
  443. * The ``django.forms.extras`` package is removed.
  444. * The ``assignment_tag`` helper is removed.
  445. * The ``host`` argument to ``SimpleTestCase.assertsRedirects()`` is removed.
  446. The compatibility layer which allows absolute URLs to be considered equal to
  447. relative ones when the path is identical is also removed.
  448. * ``Field.rel`` and ``Field.remote_field.to`` are removed.
  449. * The ``on_delete`` argument for ``ForeignKey`` and ``OneToOneField`` are now
  450. required.
  451. * ``django.db.models.fields.add_lazy_relation()`` is removed.
  452. * When time zone support is enabled, database backends that don't support time
  453. zones no longer convert aware datetimes to naive values in UTC anymore when
  454. such values are passed as parameters to SQL queries executed outside of the
  455. ORM, e.g. with ``cursor.execute()``.
  456. * ``django.contrib.auth.tests.utils.skipIfCustomUser()`` is removed.
  457. * The ``GeoManager`` and ``GeoQuerySet`` classes are removed.
  458. * The ``django.contrib.gis.geoip`` module is removed.
  459. * The ``supports_recursion`` check for template loaders is removed from:
  460. * ``django.template.engine.Engine.find_template()``
  461. * ``django.template.loader_tags.ExtendsNode.find_template()``
  462. * ``django.template.loaders.base.Loader.supports_recursion()``
  463. * ``django.template.loaders.cached.Loader.supports_recursion()``
  464. * The ``load_template`` and ``load_template_sources`` template loader methods
  465. are removed.
  466. * The ``template_dirs`` argument for template loaders is removed:
  467. * ``django.template.loaders.base.Loader.get_template()``
  468. * ``django.template.loaders.cached.Loader.cache_key()``
  469. * ``django.template.loaders.cached.Loader.get_template()``
  470. * ``django.template.loaders.cached.Loader.get_template_sources()``
  471. * ``django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader.get_template_sources()``
  472. * ``django.template.loaders.base.Loader.__call__()`` is removed.
  473. * Support for custom error views that don't accept an ``exception`` parameter
  474. is removed.
  475. * The ``mime_type`` attribute of ``django.utils.feedgenerator.Atom1Feed`` and
  476. ``django.utils.feedgenerator.RssFeed`` is removed.
  477. * The ``app_name`` argument to ``include()`` is removed.
  478. * Support for passing a 3-tuple (including ``admin.site.urls``) as the first
  479. argument to ``include()`` is removed.
  480. * Support for setting a URL instance namespace without an application namespace
  481. is removed.
  482. * ``Field._get_val_from_obj()`` is removed.
  483. * ``django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader`` is removed.
  484. * The ``current_app`` parameter to the ``contrib.auth`` function-based views is
  485. removed.
  486. * The ``callable_obj`` keyword argument to
  487. ``SimpleTestCase.assertRaisesMessage()`` is removed.
  488. * Support for the ``allow_tags`` attribute on ``ModelAdmin`` methods is
  489. removed.
  490. * The ``enclosure`` keyword argument to ``SyndicationFeed.add_item()`` is
  491. removed.
  492. * The ``django.template.loader.LoaderOrigin`` and
  493. ``django.template.base.StringOrigin`` aliases for
  494. ``django.template.base.Origin`` are removed.
  495. * The ``makemigrations --exit`` option is removed.
  496. * Support for direct assignment to a reverse foreign key or many-to-many
  497. relation is removed.
  498. * The ``get_srid()`` and ``set_srid()`` methods of
  499. ``django.contrib.gis.geos.GEOSGeometry`` are removed.
  500. * The ``get_x()``, ``set_x()``, ``get_y()``, ``set_y()``, ``get_z()``, and
  501. ``set_z()`` methods of ``django.contrib.gis.geos.Point`` are removed.
  502. * The ``get_coords()`` and ``set_coords()`` methods of
  503. ``django.contrib.gis.geos.Point`` are removed.
  504. * The ``cascaded_union`` property of ``django.contrib.gis.geos.MultiPolygon``
  505. is removed.
  506. * ``django.utils.functional.allow_lazy()`` is removed.
  507. * The ``shell --plain`` option is removed.
  508. * The ``django.core.urlresolvers`` module is removed.
  509. * ``CommaSeparatedIntegerField`` is removed, except for support in historical
  510. migrations.
  511. * The template ``Context.has_key()`` method is removed.
  512. * Support for the ``django.core.files.storage.Storage.accessed_time()``,
  513. ``created_time()``, and ``modified_time()`` methods is removed.
  514. * Support for query lookups using the model name when
  515. ``Meta.default_related_name`` is set is removed.
  516. * The MySQL ``__search`` lookup is removed.
  517. * The shim for supporting custom related manager classes without a
  518. ``_apply_rel_filters()`` method is removed.
  519. * Using ``User.is_authenticated()`` and ``User.is_anonymous()`` as methods
  520. rather than properties is no longer supported.
  521. * The ``Model._meta.virtual_fields`` attribute is removed.
  522. * The keyword arguments ``virtual_only`` in ``Field.contribute_to_class()`` and
  523. ``virtual`` in ``Model._meta.add_field()`` are removed.
  524. * The ``javascript_catalog()`` and ``json_catalog()`` views are removed.
  525. * ``django.contrib.gis.utils.precision_wkt()`` is removed.
  526. * In multi-table inheritance, implicit promotion of a ``OneToOneField`` to a
  527. ``parent_link`` is removed.
  528. * Support for ``Widget._format_value()`` is removed.
  529. * ``FileField`` methods ``get_directory_name()`` and ``get_filename()`` are
  530. removed.
  531. * The ``mark_for_escaping()`` function and the classes it uses: ``EscapeData``,
  532. ``EscapeBytes``, ``EscapeText``, ``EscapeString``, and ``EscapeUnicode`` are
  533. removed.
  534. * The ``escape`` filter now uses ``django.utils.html.conditional_escape()``.
  535. * ``Manager.use_for_related_fields`` is removed.
  536. * Model ``Manager`` inheritance follows MRO inheritance rules. The requirement
  537. to use ``Meta.manager_inheritance_from_future`` to opt-in to the behavior is
  538. removed.
  539. * Support for old-style middleware using ``settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`` is
  540. removed.
