Upgrade considerations
======================
2020-02-18 14:55:53 +01:00
Removed support for Django 2.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Django 2.1 is no longer supported as of this release; please upgrade to Django 2.2 or above before upgrading Wagtail.
2020-01-24 14:29:59 +01:00
`` SiteMiddleware `` and `` request.site `` deprecated
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wagtail's :class: `~wagtail.core.middleware.SiteMiddleware` , which makes the current site object available as the property `` request.site `` , is now deprecated as it clashes with Django's sites framework and makes unnecessary database queries on non-Wagtail views. References to `` request.site `` in your code should be removed; the recommended way of retrieving the current site is `` Site.find_for_request(request) `` in Python code, and the `` {% wagtail_site %} `` tag within Django templates. Once these are removed, `` 'wagtail.core.middleware.SiteMiddleware' `` can be removed from your project's `` MIDDLEWARE `` setting.
