Django 1.6 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT
============================================
Welcome to Django 1.6!
These release notes cover the `new features`_, as well as some `backwards
incompatible changes`_ you'll want to be aware of when upgrading from Django
1.5 or older versions. We've also dropped some features, which are detailed in
:doc:`our deprecation plan </internals/deprecation>`, and we've `begun the
deprecation process for some features`_.
.. _`new features`: `What's new in Django 1.6`_
.. _`backwards incompatible changes`: `Backwards incompatible changes in 1.6`_
.. _`begun the deprecation process for some features`: `Features deprecated in 1.6`_
What's new in Django 1.6
========================
Minor features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Authentication backends can raise ``PermissionDenied`` to immediately fail
the authentication chain.
* The ``assertQuerysetEqual()`` now checks for undefined order and raises
``ValueError`` if undefined order is spotted. The order is seen as
undefined if the given ``QuerySet`` isn't ordered and there are more than
one ordered values to compare against.
* Added :meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.earliest` for symmetry with
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.latest`.
Backwards incompatible changes in 1.6
=====================================
* The ``django.db.models.query.EmptyQuerySet`` can't be instantiated any more -
it is only usable as a marker class for checking if
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.none` has been called:
``isinstance(qs.none(), EmptyQuerySet)``
.. warning::
In addition to the changes outlined in this section, be sure to review the
:doc:`deprecation plan </internals/deprecation>` for any features that
have been removed. If you haven't updated your code within the
deprecation timeline for a given feature, its removal may appear as a
backwards incompatible change.
Features deprecated in 1.6
==========================
``SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS`` setting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:class:`~django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware` used to provide basic
reporting of broken links by email when ``SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS`` is set to
``True``.
Because of intractable ordering problems between
:class:`~django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware` and
:class:`~django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware`, this feature was split
out into a new middleware:
:class:`~django.middleware.common.BrokenLinkEmailsMiddleware`.
If you're relying on this feature, you should add
``'django.middleware.common.BrokenLinkEmailsMiddleware'`` to your
:setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` setting and remove ``SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS``
from your settings.
