What's new

When using the ``wagtail start`` command to make a new site, users will now be greeted with a proper starter page. Thanks to Timothy Allen and Scott Cranfill for pulling this off!

Other features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Added support for Python 3.7 (Matt Westcott)
* Added ``max_count`` option on page models to limit the number of pages of a particular type that can be created (Dan Braghis)
* Document and image choosers now show the document / image's collection (Alejandro Garza, Janneke Janssen)
* New ``image_url`` template tag allows to generate dynamic image URLs, so image renditions are being created outside the main request which improves performance. Requires extra configuration, see :doc:`/advanced_topics/images/image_serve_view` (Yannick Chabbert, Dan Braghis).
* Added ability to run individual tests through tox (Benjamin Bach)
* Collection listings are now ordered by name (Seb Brown)

* Changed design of image editing page (Janneke Janssen, Ben Enright)
* Added Slovak character map for JavaScript slug generation (Andy Chosak)
* Make documentation links on welcome page work for prereleases (Matt Westcott)
* Allow overridden ``copy()`` methods in ``Page`` subclasses to be called from the page copy view (Robert Rollins)
* Users without a preferred language set on their profile now use language selected by Django's ``LocaleMiddleware`` (Benjamin Bach)
* Added hooks to customise the actions menu on the page create/edit views (Matt Westcott)
* Cleanup: Use ``functools.partial()`` instead of ``django.utils.functional.curry()`` (Sergey Fedoseev)
* Added ``before_move_page`` and ``after_move_page`` hooks (Maylon Pedroso)
* Bulk deletion button for snippets is now hidden until items are selected (Karl Hobley)

~~~~~~~~~
* Query objects returned from ``PageQuerySet.type_q`` can now be merged with ``|`` (Brady Moe)

* Additional fields on custom document models now show on the multiple document upload view (Robert Rollins, Sergey Fedoseev)
* Help text does not overflow when using a combination of BooleanField and FieldPanel in page model (Dzianis Sheka)
* Document chooser now displays more useful help message when there are no documents in Wagtail document library (gmmoraes, Stas Rudakou)
* Allow custom logos of any height in the admin menu (Meteor0id)
* Allow nav menu to take up all available space instead of scrolling (Meteor0id)
* Users without the edit permission no longer see "Edit" links in list of pages waiting for moderation (Justin Focus, Fedor Selitsky)
* Redirects now return 404 when destination is unspecified or a page with no site (Hillary Jeffrey)
* Refactor all breakpoint definitions, removing style overlaps (Janneke Janssen)
* Updated draftjs_exporter to 2.1.5 to fix bug in handling adjacent entities (Thibaud Colas)
* Page titles consisting only of stopwords now generate a non-empty default slug (Andy Chosak, Janneke Janssen)
* Sitemap generator now allows passing a sitemap instance in the URL configuration (Mitchel Cabuloy, Dan Braghis)
Upgrade considerations
======================
Removed support for Django 1.11
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Django 1.11 is no longer supported in this release; please upgrade your project to Django 2.0 or 2.1 before upgrading to Wagtail 2.4.
Custom image model migrations created on Wagtail <1.8 may fail
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Projects with a custom image model (see :ref:`custom_image_model`) created on Wagtail 1.7 or earlier are likely to have one or more migrations that refer to the (now-deleted) ``wagtailimages.Filter`` model. In Wagtail 2.4, the migrations that defined this model have been squashed, which may result in the error ``ValueError: Related model 'wagtailimages.Filter' cannot be resolved`` when bringing up a new instance of the database. To rectify this, check your project's migrations for ``ForeignKey`` references to ``wagtailimages.Filter``, and change them to ``IntegerField`` definitions. For example, the line:
.. code-block:: python
('filter', models.ForeignKey(blank=True, null=True, on_delete=django.db.models.deletion.CASCADE, related_name='+', to='wagtailimages.Filter')),
should become:
.. code-block:: python
('filter', models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)),
