  1. ============================================
  2. Django 5.0 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
  3. ============================================
  4. *Expected December 2023*
  5. Welcome to Django 5.0!
  6. These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-5.0>`, as well as
  7. some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-5.0>` you'll
  8. want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 4.2 or earlier. We've
  9. :ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
  10. <deprecated-features-5.0>`.
  11. See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
  12. project.
  13. Python compatibility
  14. ====================
  15. Django 5.0 supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12. We **highly recommend** and
  16. only officially support the latest release of each series.
  17. The Django 4.2.x series is the last to support Python 3.8 and 3.9.
  18. Third-party library support for older version of Django
  19. =======================================================
  20. Following the release of Django 5.0, we suggest that third-party app authors
  21. drop support for all versions of Django prior to 4.2. At that time, you should
  22. be able to run your package's tests using ``python -Wd`` so that deprecation
  23. warnings appear. After making the deprecation warning fixes, your app should be
  24. compatible with Django 5.0.
  25. .. _whats-new-5.0:
  26. What's new in Django 5.0
  27. ========================
  28. Facet filters in the admin
  29. --------------------------
  30. Facet counts are now shown for applied filters in the admin changelist when
  31. toggled on via the UI. This behavior can be changed via the new
  32. :attr:`.ModelAdmin.show_facets` attribute. For more information see
  33. :ref:`facet-filters`.
  34. Simplified templates for form field rendering
  35. ---------------------------------------------
  36. Django 5.0 introduces the concept of a field group, and field group templates.
  37. This simplifies rendering of the related elements of a Django form field such
  38. as its label, widget, help text, and errors.
  39. For example, the template below:
  40. .. code-block:: html+django
  41. <form>
  42. ...
  43. <div>
  44. {{ form.name.label_tag }}
  45. {% if form.name.help_text %}
  46. <div class="helptext" id="{{ form.name.id_for_label }}_helptext">
  47. {{ form.name.help_text|safe }}
  48. </div>
  49. {% endif %}
  50. {{ form.name.errors }}
  51. {{ form.name }}
  52. <div class="row">
  53. <div class="col">
  54. {{ form.email.label_tag }}
  55. {% if form.email.help_text %}
  56. <div class="helptext" id="{{ form.email.id_for_label }}_helptext">
  57. {{ form.email.help_text|safe }}
  58. </div>
  59. {% endif %}
  60. {{ form.email.errors }}
  61. {{ form.email }}
  62. </div>
  63. <div class="col">
  64. {{ form.password.label_tag }}
  65. {% if form.password.help_text %}
  66. <div class="helptext" id="{{ form.password.id_for_label }}_helptext">
  67. {{ form.password.help_text|safe }}
  68. </div>
  69. {% endif %}
  70. {{ form.password.errors }}
  71. {{ form.password }}
  72. </div>
  73. </div>
  74. </div>
  75. ...
  76. </form>
  77. Can now be simplified to:
  78. .. code-block:: html+django
  79. <form>
  80. ...
  81. <div>
  82. {{ form.name.as_field_group }}
  83. <div class="row">
  84. <div class="col">{{ form.email.as_field_group }}</div>
  85. <div class="col">{{ form.password.as_field_group }}</div>
  86. </div>
  87. </div>
  88. ...
  89. </form>
  90. :meth:`~django.forms.BoundField.as_field_group` renders fields with the
  91. ``"django/forms/field.html"`` template by default and can be customized on a
  92. per-project, per-field, or per-request basis. See
  93. :ref:`reusable-field-group-templates`.
  94. Database-computed default values
  95. --------------------------------
  96. The new :attr:`Field.db_default <django.db.models.Field.db_default>` parameter
  97. sets a database-computed default value. For example::
  98. from django.db import models
  99. from django.db.models.functions import Now, Pi
  100. class MyModel(models.Model):
  101. age = models.IntegerField(db_default=18)
  102. created = models.DateTimeField(db_default=Now())
  103. circumference = models.FloatField(db_default=2 * Pi())
  104. Database generated model field
  105. ------------------------------
  106. The new :class:`~django.db.models.GeneratedField` allows creation of database
  107. generated columns. This field can be used on all supported database backends
  108. to create a field that is always computed from other fields.
  109. More options for declaring field choices
  110. ----------------------------------------
  111. :attr:`.Field.choices` *(for model fields)* and :attr:`.ChoiceField.choices`
  112. *(for form fields)* allow for more flexibility when declaring their values. In
  113. previous versions of Django, ``choices`` should either be a list of 2-tuples,
  114. or an :ref:`field-choices-enum-types` subclass, but the latter required
  115. accessing the ``.choices`` attribute to provide the values in the expected
  116. form::
  117. from django.db import models
  118. Medal = models.TextChoices("Medal", "GOLD SILVER BRONZE")
  119. SPORT_CHOICES = [
  120. ("Martial Arts", [("judo", "Judo"), ("karate", "Karate")]),
  121. ("Racket", [("badminton", "Badminton"), ("tennis", "Tennis")]),
  122. ("unknown", "Unknown"),
  123. ]
  124. class Winners(models.Model):
  125. name = models.CharField(...)
  126. medal = models.CharField(..., choices=Medal.choices)
  127. sport = models.CharField(..., choices=SPORT_CHOICES)
  128. Django 5.0 supports providing a mapping instead of an iterable, and also no
  129. longer requires ``.choices`` to be used directly to expand :ref:`enumeration
  130. types <field-choices-enum-types>`::
  131. from django.db import models
  132. Medal = models.TextChoices("Medal", "GOLD SILVER BRONZE")
  133. SPORT_CHOICES = { # Using a mapping instead of a list of 2-tuples.
  134. "Martial Arts": {"judo": "Judo", "karate": "Karate"},
  135. "Racket": {"badminton": "Badminton", "tennis": "Tennis"},
  136. "unknown": "Unknown",
  137. }
  138. class Winners(models.Model):
  139. name = models.CharField(...)
  140. medal = models.CharField(..., choices=Medal) # Using `.choices` not required.
  141. sport = models.CharField(..., choices=SPORT_CHOICES)
  142. Under the hood the provided ``choices`` are normalized into a list of 2-tuples
  143. as the canonical form whenever the ``choices`` value is updated.

  338. Templates
  339. ~~~~~~~~~
  340. * The new :tfilter:`escapeseq` template filter applies :tfilter:`escape` to
  341. each element of a sequence.
  342. Tests
  343. ~~~~~
  344. * :class:`~django.test.Client` and :class:`~django.test.AsyncClient` now
  345. provide asynchronous methods, using an ``a`` prefix:
  346. :meth:`~django.test.Client.asession`, :meth:`~django.test.Client.alogin`,
  347. :meth:`~django.test.Client.aforce_login`, and
  348. :meth:`~django.test.Client.alogout`.
  349. * :class:`~django.test.AsyncClient` now supports the ``follow`` parameter.

  363. .. _backwards-incompatible-5.0:
  364. Backwards incompatible changes in 5.0
  365. =====================================
  366. Database backend API
  367. --------------------
  368. This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
  369. backends.
  370. * ``DatabaseFeatures.supports_expression_defaults`` should be set to ``False``
  371. if the database doesn't support using database functions as defaults.
  372. * ``DatabaseFeatures.supports_default_keyword_in_insert`` should be set to
  373. ``False`` if the database doesn't support the ``DEFAULT`` keyword in
  374. ``INSERT`` queries.
  375. * ``DatabaseFeatures.supports_default_keyword_in_bulk insert`` should be set to
  376. ``False`` if the database doesn't support the ``DEFAULT`` keyword in bulk
  377. ``INSERT`` queries.
  378. Dropped support for MySQL < 8.0.11
  379. ----------------------------------
  380. Support for pre-releases of MySQL 8.0.x series is removed. Django 5.0 supports
  381. MySQL 8.0.11 and higher.
  382. :mod:`django.contrib.gis`
  383. -------------------------
  384. * Support for GDAL 2.2 and 2.3 is removed.
  385. * Support for GEOS 3.6 and 3.7 is removed.
  386. :mod:`django.contrib.sitemaps`
  387. ------------------------------
  388. * The ``django.contrib.sitemaps.ping_google()`` function and the
  389. ``ping_google`` management command are removed as the Google
  390. Sitemaps ping endpoint is deprecated and will be removed in January 2024.
  391. * The ``django.contrib.sitemaps.SitemapNotFound`` exception class is removed.
  392. Using ``create_defaults__exact`` may now be required with ``QuerySet.update_or_create()``
  393. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  394. :meth:`.QuerySet.update_or_create` now supports the parameter
  395. ``create_defaults``. As a consequence, any models that have a field named
  396. ``create_defaults`` that are used with an ``update_or_create()`` should specify
  397. the field in the lookup with ``create_defaults__exact``.
  398. .. _migrating-uuidfield:
  399. Migrating existing ``UUIDField`` on MariaDB 10.7+
  400. -------------------------------------------------
  401. On MariaDB 10.7+, ``UUIDField`` is now created as ``UUID`` column rather than
  402. ``CHAR(32)`` column. As a consequence, any ``UUIDField`` created in
  403. Django < 5.0 should be replaced with a ``UUIDField`` subclass backed by
  404. ``CHAR(32)``::
  405. class Char32UUIDField(models.UUIDField):
  406. def db_type(self, connection):
  407. return "char(32)"
  408. For example::
  409. class MyModel(models.Model):
  410. uuid = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4)
  411. Should become::
  412. class Char32UUIDField(models.UUIDField):
  413. def db_type(self, connection):
  414. return "char(32)"
  415. class MyModel(models.Model):
  416. uuid = Char32UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4)
  417. Running the :djadmin:`makemigrations` command will generate a migration
  418. containing a no-op ``AlterField`` operation.
  419. Miscellaneous
  420. -------------
  421. * The ``instance`` argument of the undocumented
  422. ``BaseModelFormSet.save_existing()`` method is renamed to ``obj``.
  423. * The undocumented ``django.contrib.admin.helpers.checkbox`` is removed.
  424. * Integer fields are now validated as 64-bit integers on SQLite to match the
  425. behavior of ``sqlite3``.
  426. * The undocumented ``Query.annotation_select_mask`` attribute is changed from a
  427. set of strings to an ordered list of strings.
  428. * ``ImageField.update_dimension_fields()`` is no longer called on the
  429. ``post_init`` signal if ``width_field`` and ``height_field`` are not set.
  430. * :class:`~django.db.models.functions.Now` database function now uses
  431. ``LOCALTIMESTAMP`` instead of ``CURRENT_TIMESTAMP`` on Oracle.
  432. * :attr:`.AdminSite.site_header` is now rendered in a ``<div>`` tag instead of
  433. ``<h1>``. Screen reader users rely on heading elements for navigation within
  434. a page. Having two ``<h1>`` elements was confusing and the site header wasn't
  435. helpful as it is repeated on all pages.
  436. * On databases without native support for the SQL ``XOR`` operator, ``^`` as
  437. the exclusive or (``XOR``) operator now returns rows that are matched by an
  438. odd number of operands rather than exactly one operand. This is consistent
  439. with the behavior of MySQL, MariaDB, and Python.
  440. * The minimum supported version of ``asgiref`` is increased from 3.6.0 to
  441. 3.7.0.
  442. * The minimum supported version of ``selenium`` is increased from 3.8.0 to
  443. 4.8.0.
  444. * The ``AlreadyRegistered`` and ``NotRegistered`` exceptions are moved from
  445. ``django.contrib.admin.sites`` to ``django.contrib.admin.exceptions``.
  446. * The minimum supported version of SQLite is increased from 3.21.0 to 3.27.0.
  447. * Support for ``cx_Oracle`` < 8.3 is removed.
  448. * Executing SQL queries before the app registry has been fully populated now
  449. raises :exc:`RuntimeWarning`.
  450. * :exc:`~django.core.exceptions.BadRequest` is raised for non-UTF-8 encoded
  451. requests with the :mimetype:`application/x-www-form-urlencoded` content type.
  452. See :rfc:`1866` for more details.
  453. * The minimum supported version of ``colorama`` is increased to 0.4.6.
  454. * The minimum supported version of ``docutils`` is increased to 0.19.
  455. .. _deprecated-features-5.0:
  456. Features deprecated in 5.0
  457. ==========================
  458. Miscellaneous
  459. -------------
  460. * The ``DjangoDivFormRenderer`` and ``Jinja2DivFormRenderer`` transitional form
  461. renderers are deprecated.
  462. * Passing positional arguments ``name`` and ``violation_error_message`` to
  463. :class:`~django.db.models.BaseConstraint` is deprecated in favor of
  464. keyword-only arguments.
  465. * ``request`` is added to the signature of :meth:`.ModelAdmin.lookup_allowed`.
  466. Support for ``ModelAdmin`` subclasses that do not accept this argument is
  467. deprecated.
  468. * The ``get_joining_columns()`` method of ``ForeignObject`` and
  469. ``ForeignObjectRel`` is deprecated. Starting with Django 6.0,
  470. ``django.db.models.sql.datastructures.Join`` will no longer fallback to
  471. ``get_joining_columns()``. Subclasses should implement
  472. ``get_joining_fields()`` instead.
  473. * The ``ForeignObject.get_reverse_joining_columns()`` method is deprecated.
  474. * The default scheme for ``forms.URLField`` will change from ``"http"`` to
  475. ``"https"`` in Django 6.0.
  476. * Support for calling ``format_html()`` without passing args or kwargs will be
  477. removed.
  478. * Support for ``cx_Oracle`` is deprecated in favor of `oracledb`_ 1.3.2+ Python
  479. driver.
  480. * ``DatabaseOperations.field_cast_sql()`` is deprecated in favor of
  481. ``DatabaseOperations.lookup_cast()``. Starting with Django 6.0,
  482. ``BuiltinLookup.process_lhs()`` will no longer call ``field_cast_sql()``.
  483. Third-party database backends should implement ``lookup_cast()`` instead.
