Changelogs

django 1.11.7 -> 2.0.2

2.0.2

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

February 1, 2018

Django 2.0.2 fixes a security issue and several bugs in 2.0.1.

CVE-2018-6188: Information leakage in AuthenticationForm

A regression in Django 1.11.8 made
:class:~django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm run its
confirm_login_allowed() method even if an incorrect password is entered.
This can leak information about a user, depending on what messages
confirm_login_allowed() raises. If confirm_login_allowed() isn't
overridden, an attacker enter an arbitrary username and see if that user has
been set to is_active=False. If confirm_login_allowed() is overridden,
more sensitive details could be leaked.

This issue is fixed with the caveat that AuthenticationForm can no longer
raise the "This account is inactive." error if the authentication backend
rejects inactive users (the default authentication backend, ModelBackend,
has done that since Django 1.10). This issue will be revisited for Django 2.1
as a fix to address the caveat will likely be too invasive for inclusion in
older versions.

Bugfixes

• Fixed hidden content at the bottom of the "The install worked successfully!"
  page for some languages (:ticket:28885).

• Fixed incorrect foreign key nullification if a model has two foreign keys to
  the same model and a target model is deleted (:ticket:29016).

• Fixed regression in the use of QuerySet.values_list(..., flat=True)
  followed by annotate() (:ticket:29067).

• Fixed a regression where a queryset that annotates with geometry objects
  crashes (:ticket:29054).

• Fixed a regression where contrib.auth.authenticate() crashes if an
  authentication backend doesn't accept request and a later one does
  (:ticket:29071).

• Fixed a regression where makemigrations crashes if a migrations directory
  doesn't have an __init__.py file (:ticket:29091).

• Fixed crash when entering an invalid uuid in ModelAdmin.raw_id_fields
  (:ticket:29094).

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

2.0.1

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

January 1, 2018

Django 2.0.1 fixes several bugs in 2.0.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a regression in Django 1.11 that added newlines between MultiWidget's
  subwidgets (:ticket:28890).

• Fixed incorrect class-based model index name generation for models with
  quoted db_table (:ticket:28876).

• Fixed incorrect foreign key constraint name for models with quoted
  db_table (:ticket:28876).

• Fixed a regression in caching of a GenericForeignKey when the referenced
  model instance uses more than one level of multi-table inheritance
  (:ticket:28856).

• Reallowed filtering a queryset with GeometryField=None (:ticket:28896).

• Corrected admin check to allow a OneToOneField in
  ModelAdmin.autocomplete_fields (:ticket:28898).

• Fixed a regression on SQLite where DecimalField returned a result with
  trailing zeros in the fractional part truncated (:ticket:28915).

• Fixed crash in the testserver command startup (:ticket:28941).

• Fixed crash when coercing a translatable URL pattern to str
  (:ticket:28947).

• Fixed crash on SQLite when renaming a field in a model referenced by a
  ManyToManyField (:ticket:28884).

• Fixed a crash when chaining values() or values_list() after
  QuerySet.select_for_update(of=(...)) (:ticket:28944).

• Fixed admin changelist crash when using a query expression in the page's
  ordering (:ticket:28958).

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

2.0

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

December 2, 2017

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>.

This release starts Django's use of a :ref:loose form of semantic versioning <internal-release-cadence>, but there aren't any major backwards incompatible
changes that might be expected of a 2.0 release. Upgrading should be a similar
amount of effort as past feature releases.

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

Python compatibility

Django 2.0 supports Python 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. We highly recommend and only
officially support the latest release of each series.

The Django 1.11.x series is the last to support Python 2.7.

Django 2.0 will be the last release series to support Python 3.4. If you plan
a deployment of Python 3.4 beyond the end-of-life for Django 2.0 (April 2019),
stick with Django 1.11 LTS (supported until April 2020) instead. Note, however,
that the end-of-life for Python 3.4 is March 2019.

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 to 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.

.. _whats-new-2.0:

What's new in Django 2.0

Simplified URL routing syntax

The new :func:django.urls.path() function allows a simpler, more readable URL
routing syntax. For example, this example from previous Django releases::

url(r'^articles/(?P<year>[0-9]{4})/$', views.year_archive),

could be written as::

path('articles/<int:year>/', views.year_archive),

The new syntax supports type coercion of URL parameters. In the example, the
view will receive the year keyword argument as an integer rather than as
a string. Also, the URLs that will match are slightly less constrained in the
rewritten example. For example, the year 10000 will now match since the year
integers aren't constrained to be exactly four digits long as they are in the
regular expression.

The django.conf.urls.url() function from previous versions is now available
as :func:django.urls.re_path. The old location remains for backwards
compatibility, without an imminent deprecation. The old
django.conf.urls.include() function is now importable from django.urls
so you can use from django.urls import include, path, re_path in your
URLconfs.

The :doc:/topics/http/urls document is rewritten to feature the new syntax
and provide more details.

Mobile-friendly contrib.admin

The admin is now responsive and supports all major mobile devices. Older
browsers may experience varying levels of graceful degradation.

Window expressions

The new :class:~django.db.models.expressions.Window expression allows
adding an OVER clause to querysets. You can use :ref:window functions <window-functions> and :ref:aggregate functions <aggregation-functions> in
the expression.

Minor features

:mod:django.contrib.admin

• The new :attr:.ModelAdmin.autocomplete_fields attribute and
  :meth:.ModelAdmin.get_autocomplete_fields method allow using an
  Select2 <https://select2.org>_ search widget for ForeignKey and
  ManyToManyField.

:mod:django.contrib.auth

• The default iteration count for the PBKDF2 password hasher is increased from
  36,000 to 100,000.

:mod:django.contrib.gis

• Added MySQL support for the
  :class:~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.AsGeoJSON function,
  :class:~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.GeoHash function,
  :class:~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.IsValid function,
  :lookup:isvalid lookup, and :ref:distance lookups <distance-lookups>.

• Added the :class:~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.Azimuth and
  :class:~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.LineLocatePoint functions,
  supported on PostGIS and SpatiaLite.

• Any :class:~django.contrib.gis.geos.GEOSGeometry imported from GeoJSON now
  has its SRID set.

• Added the :attr:.OSMWidget.default_zoom attribute to customize the map's
  default zoom level.

• Made metadata readable and editable on rasters through the
  :attr:~django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster.metadata,
  :attr:~django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster.info, and
  :attr:~django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALBand.metadata attributes.

• Allowed passing driver-specific creation options to
  :class:~django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster objects using papsz_options.

• Allowed creating :class:~django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster objects in
  GDAL's internal virtual filesystem. Rasters can now be :ref:created from and converted to binary data <gdal-raster-vsimem> in-memory.

• The new :meth:GDALBand.color_interp() <django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALBand.color_interp> method returns the color
  interpretation for the band.

:mod:django.contrib.postgres

• The new distinct argument for
  :class:~django.contrib.postgres.aggregates.ArrayAgg determines if
  concatenated values will be distinct.

• The new :class:~django.contrib.postgres.functions.RandomUUID database
  function returns a version 4 UUID. It requires use of PostgreSQL's
  pgcrypto extension which can be activated using the new
  :class:~django.contrib.postgres.operations.CryptoExtension migration
  operation.

• :class:django.contrib.postgres.indexes.GinIndex now supports the
  fastupdate and gin_pending_list_limit parameters.

• The new :class:~django.contrib.postgres.indexes.GistIndex class allows
  creating GiST indexes in the database. The new
  :class:~django.contrib.postgres.operations.BtreeGistExtension migration
  operation installs the btree_gist extension to add support for operator
  classes that aren't built-in.

• :djadmin:inspectdb can now introspect JSONField and various
  RangeField\s (django.contrib.postgres must be in INSTALLED_APPS).

:mod:django.contrib.sitemaps

• Added the protocol keyword argument to the
  :class:~django.contrib.sitemaps.GenericSitemap constructor.

Cache

• cache.set_many() now returns a list of keys that failed to be inserted.
  For the built-in backends, failed inserts can only happen on memcached.

File Storage

• :meth:File.open() <django.core.files.File.open> can be used as a context
  manager, e.g. with file.open() as f:.

Forms

• The new date_attrs and time_attrs arguments for
  :class:~django.forms.SplitDateTimeWidget and
  :class:~django.forms.SplitHiddenDateTimeWidget allow specifying different
  HTML attributes for the DateInput and TimeInput (or hidden)
  subwidgets.

• The new :meth:Form.errors.get_json_data() <django.forms.Form.errors.get_json_data> method returns form errors as
  a dictionary suitable for including in a JSON response.

Generic Views

• The new :attr:.ContextMixin.extra_context attribute allows adding context
  in View.as_view().

Management Commands

• :djadmin:inspectdb now translates MySQL's unsigned integer columns to
  PositiveIntegerField or PositiveSmallIntegerField.

• The new :option:makemessages --add-location option controls the comment
  format in PO files.

• :djadmin:loaddata can now :ref:read from stdin <loading-fixtures-stdin>.

• The new :option:diffsettings --output option allows formatting the output
  in a unified diff format.

• On Oracle, :djadmin:inspectdb can now introspect AutoField if the
  column is created as an identity column.

• On MySQL, :djadmin:dbshell now supports client-side TLS certificates.

Migrations

• The new :option:squashmigrations --squashed-name option allows naming the
  squashed migration.

Models

• The new :class:~django.db.models.functions.StrIndex database function
  finds the starting index of a string inside another string.

• On Oracle, AutoField and BigAutoField are now created as identity columns_.

.. _identity columns: https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/DRDAA/migr_tools_feat.htmDRDAA109

• The new chunk_size parameter of :meth:.QuerySet.iterator controls the
  number of rows fetched by the Python database client when streaming results
  from the database. For databases that don't support server-side cursors, it
  controls the number of results Django fetches from the database adapter.

• :meth:.QuerySet.earliest, :meth:.QuerySet.latest, and
  :attr:Meta.get_latest_by <django.db.models.Options.get_latest_by> now
  allow ordering by several fields.

• Added the :class:~django.db.models.functions.ExtractQuarter function to
  extract the quarter from :class:~django.db.models.DateField and
  :class:~django.db.models.DateTimeField, and exposed it through the
  :lookup:quarter lookup.

• Added the :class:~django.db.models.functions.TruncQuarter function to
  truncate :class:~django.db.models.DateField and
  :class:~django.db.models.DateTimeField to the first day of a quarter.

• Added the :attr:~django.db.models.Index.db_tablespace parameter to
  class-based indexes.

• If the database supports a native duration field (Oracle and PostgreSQL),
  :class:~django.db.models.functions.Extract now works with
  :class:~django.db.models.DurationField.

• Added the of argument to :meth:.QuerySet.select_for_update(), supported
  on PostgreSQL and Oracle, to lock only rows from specific tables rather than
  all selected tables. It may be helpful particularly when
  :meth:~.QuerySet.select_for_update() is used in conjunction with
  :meth:~.QuerySet.select_related().

• The new field_name parameter of :meth:.QuerySet.in_bulk allows fetching
  results based on any unique model field.

• :meth:.CursorWrapper.callproc() now takes an optional dictionary of keyword
  parameters, if the backend supports this feature. Of Django's built-in
  backends, only Oracle supports it.

• The new :meth:connection.execute_wrapper() <django.db.backends.base.DatabaseWrapper.execute_wrapper> method allows
  :doc:installing wrappers around execution of database queries </topics/db/instrumentation>.

• The new filter argument for built-in aggregates allows :ref:adding different conditionals <conditional-aggregation> to multiple aggregations
  over the same fields or relations.

• Added support for expressions in :attr:Meta.ordering <django.db.models.Options.ordering>.

• The new named parameter of :meth:.QuerySet.values_list allows fetching
  results as named tuples.

• The new :class:.FilteredRelation class allows adding an ON clause to
  querysets.

Pagination

• Added :meth:Paginator.get_page() <django.core.paginator.Paginator.get_page>
  to provide the documented pattern of handling invalid page numbers.

Requests and Responses

• The :djadmin:runserver Web server supports HTTP 1.1.

Templates

• To increase the usefulness of :meth:.Engine.get_default in third-party
  apps, it now returns the first engine if multiple DjangoTemplates engines
  are configured in TEMPLATES rather than raising ImproperlyConfigured.

• Custom template tags may now accept keyword-only arguments.

Tests

• Added threading support to :class:~django.test.LiveServerTestCase.

• Added settings that allow customizing the test tablespace parameters for
  Oracle: :setting:DATAFILE_SIZE, :setting:DATAFILE_TMP_SIZE,
  :setting:DATAFILE_EXTSIZE, and :setting:DATAFILE_TMP_EXTSIZE.

Validators

• The new :class:.ProhibitNullCharactersValidator disallows the null
  character in the input of the :class:~django.forms.CharField form field
  and its subclasses. Null character input was observed from vulnerability
  scanning tools. Most databases silently discard null characters, but
  psycopg2 2.7+ raises an exception when trying to save a null character to
  a char/text field with PostgreSQL.

.. _backwards-incompatible-2.0:

Backwards incompatible changes in 2.0

Removed support for bytestrings in some places

To support native Python 2 strings, older Django versions had to accept both
bytestrings and unicode strings. Now that Python 2 support is dropped,
bytestrings should only be encountered around input/output boundaries (handling
of binary fields or HTTP streams, for example). You might have to update your
code to limit bytestring usage to a minimum, as Django no longer accepts
bytestrings in certain code paths. Python's :option:-b option may help detect
that mistake in your code.

For example, reverse() now uses str() instead of force_text() to
coerce the args and kwargs it receives, prior to their placement in
the URL. For bytestrings, this creates a string with an undesired b prefix
as well as additional quotes (str(b'foo') is "b'foo'"). To adapt, call
decode() on the bytestring before passing it to reverse().

Database backend API

This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
backends.

• The DatabaseOperations.datetime_cast_date_sql(),
  datetime_cast_time_sql(), datetime_trunc_sql(),
  datetime_extract_sql(), and date_interval_sql() methods now return
  only the SQL to perform the operation instead of SQL and a list of
  parameters.

• Third-party database backends should add a DatabaseWrapper.display_name
  attribute with the name of the database that your backend works with. Django
  may use it in various messages, such as in system checks.

• The first argument of SchemaEditor._alter_column_type_sql() is now
  model rather than table.

• The first argument of SchemaEditor._create_index_name() is now
  table_name rather than model.

• To enable FOR UPDATE OF support, set
  DatabaseFeatures.has_select_for_update_of = True. If the database
  requires that the arguments to OF be columns rather than tables, set
  DatabaseFeatures.select_for_update_of_column = True.

• To enable support for :class:~django.db.models.expressions.Window
  expressions, set DatabaseFeatures.supports_over_clause to True. You
  may need to customize the DatabaseOperations.window_start_rows_start_end()
  and/or window_start_range_start_end() methods.

• Third-party database backends should add a
  DatabaseOperations.cast_char_field_without_max_length attribute with the
  database data type that will be used in the
  :class:~django.db.models.functions.Cast function for a CharField if the
  max_length argument isn't provided.

• The first argument of DatabaseCreation._clone_test_db() and
  get_test_db_clone_settings() is now suffix rather
  than number (in case you want to rename the signatures in your backend
  for consistency). django.test also now passes those values as strings
  rather than as integers.

• Third-party database backends should add a
  DatabaseIntrospection.get_sequences() method based on the stub in
  BaseDatabaseIntrospection.

Dropped support for Oracle 11.2

The end of upstream support for Oracle 11.2 is Dec. 2020. Django 1.11 will be
supported until April 2020 which almost reaches this date. Django 2.0
officially supports Oracle 12.1+.

Default MySQL isolation level is read committed

MySQL's default isolation level, repeatable read, may cause data loss in
typical Django usage. To prevent that and for consistency with other databases,
the default isolation level is now read committed. You can use the
:setting:DATABASES setting to :ref:use a different isolation level <mysql-isolation-level>, if needed.

:attr:AbstractUser.last_name <django.contrib.auth.models.User.last_name> max_length increased to 150

A migration for :attr:django.contrib.auth.models.User.last_name is included.
If you have a custom user model inheriting from AbstractUser, you'll need
to generate and apply a database migration for your user model.

If you want to preserve the 30 character limit for last names, use a custom
form::

from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserChangeForm

class MyUserChangeForm(UserChangeForm):
last_name = forms.CharField(max_length=30, required=False)

If you wish to keep this restriction in the admin when editing users, set
UserAdmin.form to use this form::

from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
form = MyUserChangeForm

admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, MyUserAdmin)

QuerySet.reverse() and last() are prohibited after slicing

Calling QuerySet.reverse() or last() on a sliced queryset leads to
unexpected results due to the slice being applied after reordering. This is
now prohibited, e.g.::

>>> Model.objects.all()[:2].reverse()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: Cannot reverse a query once a slice has been taken.

Form fields no longer accept optional arguments as positional arguments

To help prevent runtime errors due to incorrect ordering of form field
arguments, optional arguments of built-in form fields are no longer accepted
as positional arguments. For example::

forms.IntegerField(25, 10)

raises an exception and should be replaced with::

forms.IntegerField(max_value=25, min_value=10)

call_command() validates the options it receives

call_command() now validates that the argument parser of the command being
called defines all of the options passed to call_command().

For custom management commands that use options not created using
parser.add_argument(), add a stealth_options attribute on the command::

class MyCommand(BaseCommand):
stealth_options = ('option_name', ...)

Indexes no longer accept positional arguments

For example::

models.Index(['headline', '-pub_date'], 'index_name')

raises an exception and should be replaced with::

models.Index(fields=['headline', '-pub_date'], name='index_name')

Foreign key constraints are now enabled on SQLite

This will appear as a backwards-incompatible change (IntegrityError: FOREIGN KEY constraint failed) if attempting to save an existing model
instance that's violating a foreign key constraint.

Foreign keys are now created with DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED instead of
DEFERRABLE IMMEDIATE. Thus, tables may need to be rebuilt to recreate
foreign keys with the new definition, particularly if you're using a pattern
like this::

from django.db import transaction

with transaction.atomic():
Book.objects.create(author_id=1)
Author.objects.create(id=1)

If you don't recreate the foreign key as DEFERRED, the first create()
would fail now that foreign key constraints are enforced.

Backup your database first! After upgrading to Django 2.0, you can then
rebuild tables using a script similar to this::

from django.apps import apps
from django.db import connection

for app in apps.get_app_configs():
for model in app.get_models(include_auto_created=True):
if model._meta.managed and not (model._meta.proxy or model._meta.swapped):
for base in model.bases:
if hasattr(base, '_meta'):
base._meta.local_many_to_many = []
model._meta.local_many_to_many = []
with connection.schema_editor() as editor:
editor._remake_table(model)

This script hasn't received extensive testing and needs adaption for various
cases such as multiple databases. Feel free to contribute improvements.

In addition, because of a table alteration limitation of SQLite, it's prohibited
to perform :class:~django.db.migrations.operations.RenameModel and
:class:~django.db.migrations.operations.RenameField operations on models or
fields referenced by other models in a transaction. In order to allow migrations
containing these operations to be applied, you must set the
Migration.atomic attribute to False.

Miscellaneous

• The SessionAuthenticationMiddleware class is removed. It provided no
  functionality since session authentication is unconditionally enabled in
  Django 1.10.

• The default HTTP error handlers (handler404, etc.) are now callables
  instead of dotted Python path strings. Django favors callable references
  since they provide better performance and debugging experience.

• :class:~django.views.generic.base.RedirectView no longer silences
  NoReverseMatch if the pattern_name doesn't exist.

• When :setting:USE_L10N is off, :class:~django.forms.FloatField and
  :class:~django.forms.DecimalField now respect :setting:DECIMAL_SEPARATOR
  and :setting:THOUSAND_SEPARATOR during validation. For example, with the
  settings::

USE_L10N = False
USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = True
DECIMAL_SEPARATOR = ','
THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = '.'

an input of "1.345" is now converted to 1345 instead of 1.345.

• Subclasses of :class:~django.contrib.auth.models.AbstractBaseUser are no
  longer required to implement get_short_name() and get_full_name().
  (The base implementations that raise NotImplementedError are removed.)
  django.contrib.admin uses these methods if implemented but doesn't
  require them. Third-party apps that use these methods may want to adopt a
  similar approach.

• The FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK and NUMBER_GROUPING format settings are now
  kept as integers in JavaScript and JSON i18n view outputs.

• :meth:~django.test.TransactionTestCase.assertNumQueries now ignores
  connection configuration queries. Previously, if a test opened a new database
  connection, those queries could be included as part of the
  assertNumQueries() count.

• The default size of the Oracle test tablespace is increased from 20M to 50M
  and the default autoextend size is increased from 10M to 25M.

• To improve performance when streaming large result sets from the database,
  :meth:.QuerySet.iterator now fetches 2000 rows at a time instead of 100.
  The old behavior can be restored using the chunk_size parameter. For
  example::

 Book.objects.iterator(chunk_size=100)

• Providing unknown package names in the packages argument of the
  :class:~django.views.i18n.JavaScriptCatalog view now raises ValueError
  instead of passing silently.

• A model instance's primary key now appears in the default Model.__str__()
  method, e.g. Question object (1).

• makemigrations now detects changes to the model field limit_choices_to
  option. Add this to your existing migrations or accept an auto-generated
  migration for fields that use it.

• Performing queries that require :ref:automatic spatial transformations <automatic-spatial-transformations> now raises NotImplementedError
  on MySQL instead of silently using non-transformed geometries.

• django.core.exceptions.DjangoRuntimeWarning is removed. It was only used
  in the cache backend as an intermediate class in CacheKeyWarning's
  inheritance of RuntimeWarning.

• Renamed BaseExpression._output_field to output_field. You may need
  to update custom expressions.

• In older versions, forms and formsets combine their Media with widget
  Media by concatenating the two. The combining now tries to :ref:preserve the relative order of elements in each list <form-media-asset-order>.
  MediaOrderConflictWarning is issued if the order can't be preserved.

• django.contrib.gis.gdal.OGRException is removed. It's been an alias for
  GDALException since Django 1.8.

• Support for GEOS 3.3.x is dropped.

• The way data is selected for GeometryField is changed to improve
  performance, and in raw SQL queries, those fields must now be wrapped in
  connection.ops.select. See the :ref:Raw queries note<gis-raw-sql> in
  the GIS tutorial for an example.

.. _deprecated-features-2.0:

Features deprecated in 2.0

context argument of Field.from_db_value() and Expression.convert_value()

The context argument of Field.from_db_value() and
Expression.convert_value() is unused as it's always an empty dictionary.
The signature of both methods is now::

(self, value, expression, connection)

instead of::

(self, value, expression, connection, context)

Support for the old signature in custom fields and expressions remains until
Django 3.0.

Miscellaneous

• The django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2 module is deprecated in favor
  of django.db.backends.postgresql. It's been an alias since Django 1.9.
  This only affects code that imports from the module directly. The
  DATABASES setting can still use
  'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2', though you can simplify that by
  using the 'django.db.backends.postgresql' name added in Django 1.9.

• django.shortcuts.render_to_response() is deprecated in favor of
  :func:django.shortcuts.render. render() takes the same arguments
  except that it also requires a request.

• The DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE setting is deprecated. It doesn't interact well
  well with third-party apps and is obsolete since HTML5 has mostly superseded
  XHTML.

• HttpRequest.xreadlines() is deprecated in favor of iterating over the
  request.

• The field_name keyword argument to :meth:.QuerySet.earliest and
  :meth:.QuerySet.latest is deprecated in favor of passing the field
  names as arguments. Write .earliest('pub_date') instead of
  .earliest(field_name='pub_date').

.. _removed-features-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 for details on these changes, 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.

1.11.10

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

February 1, 2018

Django 1.11.10 fixes a security issue and several bugs in 1.11.9.

CVE-2018-6188: Information leakage in AuthenticationForm

A regression in Django 1.11.8 made
:class:~django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm run its
confirm_login_allowed() method even if an incorrect password is entered.
This can leak information about a user, depending on what messages
confirm_login_allowed() raises. If confirm_login_allowed() isn't
overridden, an attacker enter an arbitrary username and see if that user has
been set to is_active=False. If confirm_login_allowed() is overridden,
more sensitive details could be leaked.

This issue is fixed with the caveat that AuthenticationForm can no longer
raise the "This account is inactive." error if the authentication backend
rejects inactive users (the default authentication backend, ModelBackend,
has done that since Django 1.10). This issue will be revisited for Django 2.1
as a fix to address the caveat will likely be too invasive for inclusion in
older versions.

Bugfixes

• Fixed incorrect foreign key nullification if a model has two foreign keys to
  the same model and a target model is deleted (:ticket:29016).

• Fixed a regression where contrib.auth.authenticate() crashes if an
  authentication backend doesn't accept request and a later one does
  (:ticket:29071).

• Fixed crash when entering an invalid uuid in ModelAdmin.raw_id_fields
  (:ticket:29094).

  model instance uses more than one level of multi-table inheritance
  (:ticket:28856).
