Upgrade considerations

Removed support for Django 3.0 and 3.1

Django 3.0 and 3.1 are no longer supported as of this release; please upgrade to Django 3.2 or above before upgrading Wagtail.

Removed support for Python 3.6

Python 3.6 is no longer supported as of this release; please upgrade to Python 3.7 or above before upgrading Wagtail.

StreamField ListBlock now returns ListValue rather than a list instance

The data type returned as the value of a ListBlock is now a custom class, ListValue, rather than a Python list object. This change allows it to provide a bound_blocks property that exposes the list items as BoundBlock objects rather than plain values. ListValue objects are mutable sequences that behave similarly to lists, and so all code that iterates over them, accesses individual elements, or manipulates them should continue to work. However, code that specifically expects a list object (e.g. using isinstance or testing for equality against a list) may need to be updated. For example, a unit test that tests the value of a ListBlock as follows:

    self.assertEqual(page.body[0].value, ['hello', 'goodbye'])

should be rewritten as:

    self.assertEqual(list(page.body[0].value), ['hello', 'goodbye'])

Change to set method on tag fields

This release upgrades the django-taggit library to 2.x, which introduces one breaking change: the TaggableManager.set method now accepts a list of tags as a single argument, rather than a variable number of arguments. Code such as page.tags.set('red', 'blue') should be updated to page.tags.set(['red', 'blue']).

wagtail.admin.views.generic.DeleteView follows Django 4.0 conventions

The internal (undocumented) class-based view wagtail.admin.views.generic.DeleteView has been updated to align with Django 4.0's DeleteView implementation, which uses FormMixin to handle POST requests. Any custom deletion logic in delete() handlers should be moved to form_valid().

Renamed admin/expanding-formset.js

admin/expanding_formset.js has been renamed to admin/expanding-formset.js as part of frontend code clean up work. Check for any customised admin views that are extending expanding formsets, or have overridden template and copied the previous file name used in an import as these may need updating.
