Django 3.0 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
============================================
*Expected December 2019*
Welcome to Django 3.0!
These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-3.0>`, as well as
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-3.0>` you'll
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 2.2 or earlier. We've
:ref:`dropped some features<removed-features-3.0>` that have reached the end of
their deprecation cycle, and we've :ref:`begun the deprecation process for
some features <deprecated-features-3.0>`.
See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
project.
Python compatibility
====================
Django 3.0 supports Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8. We **highly recommend** and only
officially support the latest release of each series.
The Django 2.2.x series is the last to support Python 3.5.
Third-party library support for older version of Django
=======================================================
Following the release of Django 3.0, we suggest that third-party app authors
drop support for all versions of Django prior to 2.2. At that time, you should
be able to run your package's tests using ``python -Wd`` so that deprecation
warnings appear. After making the deprecation warning fixes, your app should be
compatible with Django 3.0.

``raise_request_exception`` allows controlling whether or not exceptions
raised during the request should also be raised in the test. The value
defaults to ``True`` for backwards compatibility. If it is ``False`` and an
exception occurs, the test client will return a 500 response with the
attribute :attr:`~django.test.Response.exc_info`, a tuple providing
information of the exception that occurred.

.. _backwards-incompatible-3.0:
Backwards incompatible changes in 3.0
=====================================
Database backend API
--------------------
This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
backends.
* The second argument of ``DatabaseIntrospection.get_geometry_type()`` is now
the row description instead of the column name.
* ``DatabaseIntrospection.get_field_type()`` may no longer return tuples.
* If the database can create foreign keys in the same SQL statement that adds a
field, add ``SchemaEditor.sql_create_column_inline_fk`` with the appropriate
SQL; otherwise, set ``DatabaseFeatures.can_create_inline_fk = False``.
* ``DatabaseFeatures.can_return_id_from_insert`` and
``can_return_ids_from_bulk_insert`` are renamed to
``can_return_columns_from_insert`` and ``can_return_rows_from_bulk_insert``.
:mod:`django.contrib.gis`
-------------------------
* Support for PostGIS 2.1 is removed.
* Support for SpatiaLite 4.1 and 4.2 is removed.
* Support for GDAL 1.11 and GEOS 3.4 is removed.
Dropped support for PostgreSQL 9.4
----------------------------------
Upstream support for PostgreSQL 9.4 ends in December 2019. Django 3.0 supports
PostgreSQL 9.5 and higher.
Dropped support for Oracle 12.1
-------------------------------
Upstream support for Oracle 12.1 ends in July 2021. Django 2.2 will be
supported until April 2022. Django 3.0 officially supports Oracle 12.2 and 18c.
Removed private Python 2 compatibility APIs
-------------------------------------------
While Python 2 support was removed in Django 2.0, some private APIs weren't
removed from Django so that third party apps could continue using them until
the Python 2 end-of-life.
Since we expect apps to drop Python 2 compatibility when adding support for
Django 3.0, we're removing these APIs at this time.
* ``django.test.utils.str_prefix()`` - Strings don't have 'u' prefixes in
Python 3.
* ``django.test.utils.patch_logger()`` - Use
:meth:`unittest.TestCase.assertLogs` instead.
* ``django.utils.lru_cache.lru_cache()`` - Alias of
:func:`functools.lru_cache`.
* ``django.utils.decorators.available_attrs()`` - This function returns
``functools.WRAPPER_ASSIGNMENTS``.
* ``django.utils.decorators.ContextDecorator`` - Alias of
:class:`contextlib.ContextDecorator`.
* ``django.utils._os.abspathu()`` - Alias of :func:`os.path.abspath`.
* ``django.utils._os.upath()`` and ``npath()`` - These functions do nothing on
Python 3.
* ``django.utils.six`` - Remove usage of this vendored library or switch to
`six <https://pypi.org/project/six/>`_.
* ``django.utils.encoding.python_2_unicode_compatible()`` - Alias of
``six.python_2_unicode_compatible()``.
* ``django.utils.functional.curry()`` - Use :func:`functools.partial` or
:class:`functools.partialmethod`. See :commit:`5b1c389603a353625ae1603`.
* ``django.utils.safestring.SafeBytes`` - Unused since Django 2.0.
New default value for the ``FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS`` setting
-------------------------------------------------------------
In older versions, the :setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS` setting defaults to
``None``. With the default :setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS`, this results in
uploaded files having different permissions depending on their size and which
upload handler is used.
``FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSION`` now defaults to ``0o644`` to avoid this
inconsistency.
Miscellaneous
-------------
* ``ContentType.__str__()`` now includes the model's ``app_label`` to
disambiguate model's with the same name in different apps.
* Because accessing the language in the session rather than in the cookie is
deprecated, ``LocaleMiddleware`` no longer looks for the user's language in
the session and :func:`django.contrib.auth.logout` no longer preserves the
session's language after logout.
.. _deprecated-features-3.0:
Features deprecated in 3.0
==========================
``django.utils.encoding.force_text()`` and ``smart_text()``
-----------------------------------------------------------
The ``smart_text()`` and ``force_text()`` aliases (since Django 2.0) of
``smart_str()`` and ``force_str()`` are deprecated. Ignore this deprecation if
your code supports Python 2 as the behavior of ``smart_str()`` and
``force_str()`` is different there.
Miscellaneous
-------------
* ``django.utils.http.urlquote()``, ``urlquote_plus()``, ``urlunquote()``, and
``urlunquote_plus()`` are deprecated in favor of the functions that they're
aliases for: :func:`urllib.parse.quote`, :func:`~urllib.parse.quote_plus`,
:func:`~urllib.parse.unquote`, and :func:`~urllib.parse.unquote_plus`.
* ``django.utils.translation.ugettext()``, ``ugettext_lazy()``,
``ugettext_noop()``, ``ungettext()``, and ``ungettext_lazy()`` are deprecated
in favor of the functions that they're aliases for:
:func:`django.utils.translation.gettext`,
:func:`~django.utils.translation.gettext_lazy`,
:func:`~django.utils.translation.gettext_noop`,
:func:`~django.utils.translation.ngettext`, and
:func:`~django.utils.translation.ngettext_lazy`.
* To limit creation of sessions and hence favor some caching strategies,
:func:`django.views.i18n.set_language` will stop setting the user's language
in the session in Django 4.0. Since Django 2.1, the language is always stored
in the :setting:`LANGUAGE_COOKIE_NAME` cookie.
* ``alias=None`` is added to the signature of
:meth:`.Expression.get_group_by_cols`.
.. _removed-features-3.0:
Features removed in 3.0
=======================
These features have reached the end of their deprecation cycle and are removed
in Django 3.0.
See :ref:`deprecated-features-2.0` for details on these changes, including how
to remove usage of these features.

* ``django.shortcuts.render_to_response()`` is removed.
* The ``DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE`` setting is removed.
* ``HttpRequest.xreadlines()`` is removed.
* Support for the ``context`` argument of ``Field.from_db_value()`` and
``Expression.convert_value()`` is removed.

``latest()`` is removed.
See :ref:`deprecated-features-2.1` for details on these changes, including how
to remove usage of these features.
* The ``ForceRHR`` GIS function is removed.
* ``django.utils.http.cookie_date()`` is removed.
* The ``staticfiles`` and ``admin_static`` template tag libraries are removed.
