Update django to 5.1.2

[pyup-bot]

This PR updates Django from 2.2 to 5.1.2.

Changelog

5.1.2

==========================

*October 8, 2024*

Django 5.1.2 fixes several bugs in 5.1.1. Also, the latest string translations
from Transifex are incorporated.

Bugfixes
========

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.1 that caused a crash when using the
PostgreSQL lookup :lookup:`trigram_similar` on output fields from ``Concat``
(:ticket:`35732`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.1 that caused a crash of ``JSONObject()``
when using server-side binding with PostgreSQL 16+ (:ticket:`35734`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.1 that made selected items in multi-select
widgets indistinguishable from non-selected items in the admin dark theme
(:ticket:`35809`).


==========================

5.1.1

==========================

*September 3, 2024*

Django 5.1.1 fixes one security issue with severity "moderate", one security
issue with severity "low", and several bugs in 5.1.

CVE-2024-45230: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in ``django.utils.html.urlize()``
===========================================================================================

:tfilter:`urlize` and :tfilter:`urlizetrunc` were subject to a potential
denial-of-service attack via very large inputs with a specific sequence of
characters.

CVE-2024-45231: Potential user email enumeration via response status on password reset
======================================================================================

Due to unhandled email sending failures, the
:class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm` class allowed remote
attackers to enumerate user emails by issuing password reset requests and
observing the outcomes.

To mitigate this risk, exceptions occurring during password reset email sending
are now handled and logged using the :ref:`django-contrib-auth-logger` logger.

Bugfixes
========

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.1 that caused a crash of ``Window()`` when
passing an empty sequence to the ``order_by`` parameter, and a crash of
``Prefetch()`` for a sliced queryset without ordering (:ticket:`35665`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.1 where a new ``usable_password`` field was
included in :class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.BaseUserCreationForm` (and
children). A new :class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.AdminUserCreationForm`
including this field was added, isolating the feature to the admin where it
was intended (:ticket:`35678`).

* Adjusted the deprecation warning ``stacklevel`` in :meth:`.Model.save` and
:meth:`.Model.asave` to correctly point to the offending call site
(:ticket:`35060`).

* Adjusted the deprecation warning ``stacklevel`` when using ``OS_OPEN_FLAGS``
in :class:`~django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage` to correctly point
to the offending call site (:ticket:`35326`).

* Adjusted the deprecation warning ``stacklevel`` in
``FieldCacheMixin.get_cache_name()`` to correctly point to the offending call
site (:ticket:`35405`).

* Restored, following a regression in Django 5.1, the ability to override the
timezone and role setting behavior used within the ``init_connection_state``
method of the PostgreSQL backend (:ticket:`35688`).

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.1 where variable lookup errors were logged when
rendering admin fieldsets (:ticket:`35716`).


========================

5.1

========================

*August 7, 2024*

Welcome to Django 5.1!

These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-5.1>`, as well as
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-5.1>` you
should be aware of when upgrading from Django 5.0 or earlier. We've
:ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
<deprecated-features-5.1>`.

See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
project.

Python compatibility
====================

Django 5.1 supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12. We **highly recommend** and
only officially support the latest release of each series.

.. _whats-new-5.1:

What's new in Django 5.1
========================

``{% querystring %}`` template tag
-----------------------------------

Django 5.1 introduces the :ttag:`{% querystring %} <querystring>` template
tag, simplifying the modification of query parameters in URLs, making it easier
to generate links that maintain existing query parameters while adding or
changing specific ones.

For instance, navigating pagination and query strings in templates can be
cumbersome. Consider this template fragment that dynamically generates a URL
for navigating to the next page within a paginated view:

.. code-block:: html+django

 { Linebreaks added for readability, this should be one, long line. }
 <a href="?{% for key, values in request.GET.iterlists %}
   {% if key != "page" %}
     {% for value in values %}
       {{ key }}={{ value }}&
     {% endfor %}
   {% endif %}
 {% endfor %}page={{ page.next_page_number }}">Next page</a>

When switching to using this new template tag, the above magically becomes:

.. code-block:: html+django

 <a href="{% querystring page=page.next_page_number %}">Next page</a>

PostgreSQL Connection Pools
---------------------------

Django 5.1 also introduces :ref:`connection pool <postgresql-pool>` support for
PostgreSQL. As the time to establish a new connection can be relatively long,
keeping connections open can reduce latency.

To use a connection pool with `psycopg`_, you can set the ``"pool"`` option
inside :setting:`OPTIONS` to be a dict to be passed to
:class:`~psycopg:psycopg_pool.ConnectionPool`, or to ``True`` to use the
``ConnectionPool`` defaults::

 DATABASES = {
     "default": {
         "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql",
          ...
         "OPTIONS": {
             "pool": {
                 "min_size": 2,
                 "max_size": 4,
                 "timeout": 10,
             }
         },
     },
 }

.. _psycopg: https://www.psycopg.org/

Middleware to require authentication by default
-----------------------------------------------

The new :class:`~django.contrib.auth.middleware.LoginRequiredMiddleware`
redirects all unauthenticated requests to a login page. Views can allow
unauthenticated requests by using the new
:func:`~django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_not_required` decorator.

``LoginRequiredMiddleware`` respects the ``login_url`` and
``redirect_field_name`` values set via the
:func:`~.django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required` decorator, but does not
support setting ``login_url`` or ``redirect_field_name`` via the
:class:`~django.contrib.auth.mixins.LoginRequiredMixin`.

To enable this, add ``"django.contrib.auth.middleware.LoginRequiredMiddleware"``
to your :setting:`MIDDLEWARE` setting.

Minor features
--------------

:mod:`django.contrib.admin`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* :attr:`.ModelAdmin.list_display` now supports using ``__`` lookups to list

720,000 to 870,000.

* The default ``parallelism`` of the ``ScryptPasswordHasher`` is 
increased from 1 to 5, to follow OWASP recommendations.

* The new :class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.AdminUserCreationForm` and
the existing :class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.AdminPasswordChangeForm` now
support disabling password-based authentication by setting an unusable
password on form save. This is now available in the admin when visiting the
user creation and password change pages.

* :func:`~.django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required`,
:func:`~.django.contrib.auth.decorators.permission_required`, and
:func:`~.django.contrib.auth.decorators.user_passes_test` decorators now
support wrapping asynchronous view functions.

* ``ReadOnlyPasswordHashWidget`` now includes a button to reset the user's
password, which replaces the link previously embedded in the
``ReadOnlyPasswordHashField``'s help text, improving the overall
accessibility of the
:class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.UserChangeForm`.

:mod:`django.contrib.gis`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* :class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.BoundingCircle` is now

``continent_name``, and ``is_in_european_union`` values.

* :meth:`.GeoIP2.city` now exposes the ``accuracy_radius`` and ``region_name``
values. In addition, the ``dma_code`` and ``region`` values are now exposed
as ``metro_code`` and ``region_code``, but the previous keys are also
retained for backward compatibility.

* :class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Area` now supports the ``ha`` unit.

* The new :attr:`.OGRGeometry.is_3d` attribute allows checking if a geometry
has a ``Z`` coordinate dimension.

* The new :meth:`.OGRGeometry.set_3d` method allows addition and removal of the
``Z`` coordinate dimension.

* :class:`~django.contrib.gis.gdal.OGRGeometry`,
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.gdal.Point`,
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.gdal.LineString`,
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.gdal.Polygon`, and
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.gdal.GeometryCollection` and its subclasses now
support measured geometries via the new :attr:`.OGRGeometry.is_measured` and
``m`` properties, and the :meth:`.OGRGeometry.set_measured` method.

* :attr:`.OGRGeometry.centroid` is now available on all supported geometry
types.

* :class:`FromWKB() <django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.FromWKB>` and
:class:`FromWKT() <django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.FromWKT>` functions
now support the optional ``srid`` argument (except for Oracle where it is
ignored).

:mod:`django.contrib.postgres`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.indexes.BTreeIndex` now supports the
``deduplicate_items`` parameter.

:mod:`django.contrib.sessions`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* :class:`django.contrib.sessions.backends.cached_db.SessionStore` now handles
exceptions when storing session information in the cache, logging proper
error messages with their traceback via the newly added
:ref:`sessions logger <django-contrib-sessions-logger>`.

* :class:`django.contrib.sessions.backends.base.SessionBase` and all built-in
session engines now provide async API. The new asynchronous methods all have
``a`` prefixed names, e.g. ``aget()``, ``akeys()``, or ``acycle_key()``.

Database backends
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* ``"init_command"`` option is now supported in :setting:`OPTIONS` on SQLite
to allow specifying :ref:`pragma options <sqlite-init-command>` to set upon
connection.

* ``"transaction_mode"`` option is now supported in :setting:`OPTIONS` on
SQLite to allow specifying the :ref:`sqlite-transaction-behavior`.

* ``"pool"`` option is now supported in :setting:`OPTIONS` on PostgreSQL to
allow using :ref:`connection pools <postgresql-pool>`.

Error Reporting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* In order to improve accessibility, the technical 404 and 500 error pages now
use HTML landmark elements for the header, footer, and main content areas.

File Storage
~~~~~~~~~~~~

* The :attr:`~django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage.allow_overwrite`
parameter of :class:`~django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage` now allows
saving new files over existing ones.

Forms
~~~~~

* In order to improve accessibility and enable screen readers to associate
fieldsets with their help text, the form fieldset now includes the
``aria-describedby`` HTML attribute.

Management Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* The :djadmin:`makemigrations` command now displays meaningful symbols for
each operation to highlight :class:`operation categories
<django.db.migrations.operations.base.OperationCategory>`.

Migrations
~~~~~~~~~~

* The new ``Operation.category`` attribute allows specifying an
:class:`operation category
<django.db.migrations.operations.base.OperationCategory>` used by the
:djadmin:`makemigrations` to display a meaningful symbol for the operation.

Models
~~~~~~

* :meth:`.QuerySet.explain` now supports the ``generic_plan`` option on
PostgreSQL 16+.

* :class:`~django.db.models.expressions.RowRange` now accepts positive integers
for the ``start`` argument and negative integers for the ``end`` argument.

* The new ``exclusion`` argument of
:class:`~django.db.models.expressions.RowRange` and
:class:`~django.db.models.expressions.ValueRange` allows excluding rows,
groups, and ties from the window frames.

* :meth:`.QuerySet.order_by` now supports ordering by annotation transforms
such as ``JSONObject`` keys and ``ArrayAgg`` indices.

* :class:`F() <django.db.models.F>` and :class:`OuterRef()
<django.db.models.OuterRef>` expressions that output
:class:`~django.db.models.CharField`, :class:`~django.db.models.EmailField`,
:class:`~django.db.models.SlugField`, :class:`~django.db.models.URLField`,
:class:`~django.db.models.TextField`, or
:class:`~django.contrib.postgres.fields.ArrayField` can now be :ref:`sliced
<slicing-using-f>`.

* The new ``from_queryset`` argument of :meth:`.Model.refresh_from_db` and
:meth:`.Model.arefresh_from_db`  allows customizing the queryset used to
reload a model's value. This can be used to lock the row before reloading or
to select related objects.

* The new :attr:`.Expression.constraint_validation_compatible` attribute allows
specifying that the expression should be ignored during a constraint
validation.

Templates
~~~~~~~~~

* Custom tags may now set extra data on the ``Parser`` object that will later
be made available on the ``Template`` instance. Such data may be used, for
example, by the template loader, or other template clients.

* :ref:`Template engines <field-checking>` now implement a ``check()`` method
that is already registered with the check framework.

Tests
~~~~~

* :meth:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertContains`,
:meth:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertNotContains`, and
:meth:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertInHTML` assertions now add haystacks
to assertion error messages.

* The :class:`~django.test.RequestFactory`,
:class:`~django.test.AsyncRequestFactory`, :class:`~django.test.Client`, and
:class:`~django.test.AsyncClient` classes now support the ``query_params``
parameter, which accepts a dictionary of query string keys and values. This
allows setting query strings on any HTTP methods more easily.

.. code-block:: python

  self.client.post("/items/1", query_params={"action": "delete"})
  await self.async_client.post("/items/1", query_params={"action": "delete"})

* The new :meth:`.SimpleTestCase.assertNotInHTML` assertion allows testing that
an HTML fragment is not contained in the given HTML haystack.

* In order to enforce test isolation, database connections inside threads are
no longer allowed in :class:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase`.

Validators
~~~~~~~~~~

* The new :class:`~django.core.validators.DomainNameValidator` validates domain
names, including internationalized domain names. The new
:func:`~django.core.validators.validate_domain_name` function returns an
instance of :class:`~django.core.validators.DomainNameValidator`.

.. _backwards-incompatible-5.1:

Backwards incompatible changes in 5.1
=====================================

:mod:`django.contrib.gis`
-------------------------

* Support for PostGIS 2.5 is removed.

* Support for PROJ < 6 is removed.

* Support for GDAL 2.4 is removed.

* :class:`~django.contrib.gis.geoip2.GeoIP2` no longer opens both city and
country databases when a directory path is provided, preferring the city
database, if it is available. The country database is a subset of the city
database and both are not typically needed. If you require use of the country
database when in the same directory as the city database, explicitly pass the
country database path to the constructor.

Dropped support for MariaDB 10.4
--------------------------------

Upstream support for MariaDB 10.4 ends in June 2024. Django 5.1 supports
MariaDB 10.5 and higher.

Dropped support for PostgreSQL 12
---------------------------------

Upstream support for PostgreSQL 12 ends in November 2024. Django 5.1 supports
PostgreSQL 13 and higher.

Miscellaneous
-------------

* In order to improve accessibility, the admin's changelist filter is now
rendered in a ``<nav>`` tag instead of a ``<div>``.

* In order to improve accessibility, the admin's footer is now rendered in
a ``<footer>`` tag instead of a ``<div>``, and also moved below the
``<div id="main">`` element.

* In order to improve accessibility, the expandable widget used for
:attr:`ModelAdmin.fieldsets <django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.fieldsets>` and
:attr:`InlineModelAdmin.fieldsets <django.contrib.admin.InlineModelAdmin>`,
when the fieldset has a name and use the ``collapse`` class, now includes
``<details>`` and ``<summary>`` elements.

* The JavaScript file ``collapse.js`` is removed since it is no longer needed
in the Django admin site.

* :meth:`.SimpleTestCase.assertURLEqual` and
:meth:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertInHTML` now add ``": "`` to the
``msg_prefix``. This is consistent with the behavior of other assertions.

* ``django.utils.text.Truncator`` used by :tfilter:`truncatechars_html` and
:tfilter:`truncatewords_html` template filters now uses
:py:class:`html.parser.HTMLParser` subclasses. This results in a more robust
and faster operation, but there may be small differences in the output.

* The undocumented ``django.urls.converters.get_converter()`` function is
removed.

* The minimum supported version of SQLite is increased from 3.27.0 to 3.31.0.

* :class:`~django.db.models.FileField` now raises a
:class:`~django.core.exceptions.FieldError` when saving a file without a
``name``.

* ``ImageField.update_dimension_fields(force=True)`` is no longer called after
saving the image to storage. If your storage backend resizes images, the
``width_field`` and ``height_field`` will not match the width and height of
the image.

* The minimum supported version of ``asgiref`` is increased from 3.7.0 to
3.8.1.

.. _deprecated-features-5.1:

Features deprecated in 5.1
==========================

Miscellaneous
-------------

* The ``ModelAdmin.log_deletion()`` and ``LogEntryManager.log_action()``
methods are deprecated. Subclasses should implement
``ModelAdmin.log_deletions()`` and  ``LogEntryManager.log_actions()``
instead.

* The undocumented ``django.utils.itercompat.is_iterable()`` function and the
``django.utils.itercompat`` module are deprecated. Use
``isinstance(..., collections.abc.Iterable)`` instead.

* The ``django.contrib.gis.geoip2.GeoIP2.coords()`` method is deprecated. Use
``django.contrib.gis.geoip2.GeoIP2.lon_lat()`` instead.

* The ``django.contrib.gis.geoip2.GeoIP2.open()`` method is deprecated. Use the
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.geoip2.GeoIP2` constructor instead.

* Passing positional arguments to :meth:`.Model.save` and :meth:`.Model.asave`
is deprecated in favor of keyword-only arguments.

* Setting ``django.contrib.gis.gdal.OGRGeometry.coord_dim`` is deprecated. Use
:meth:`~django.contrib.gis.gdal.OGRGeometry.set_3d` instead.

* Overriding existing converters with ``django.urls.register_converter()`` is
deprecated.

* The ``check`` keyword argument of ``CheckConstraint`` is deprecated in favor
of ``condition``.

* The undocumented ``OS_OPEN_FLAGS`` property of
:class:`~django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage` is deprecated. To allow
overwriting files in storage, set the new
:attr:`~django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage.allow_overwrite` option
to ``True`` instead.

* The ``get_cache_name()`` method of ``FieldCacheMixin`` is deprecated in favor
of the ``cache_name`` cached property.

Features removed in 5.1
=======================

These features have reached the end of their deprecation cycle and are removed
in Django 5.1.

See :ref:`deprecated-features-4.2` for details on these changes, including how
to remove usage of these features.

* The ``BaseUserManager.make_random_password()`` method is removed.

* The model's ``Meta.index_together`` option is removed.

* The ``length_is`` template filter is removed.

* The ``django.contrib.auth.hashers.SHA1PasswordHasher``,
``django.contrib.auth.hashers.UnsaltedSHA1PasswordHasher``, and
``django.contrib.auth.hashers.UnsaltedMD5PasswordHasher`` are removed.

* The model ``django.contrib.postgres.fields.CICharField``,
``django.contrib.postgres.fields.CIEmailField``, and
``django.contrib.postgres.fields.CITextField`` are removed, except for
support in historical migrations.

* The ``django.contrib.postgres.fields.CIText`` mixin is removed.

* The ``map_width`` and ``map_height`` attributes of ``BaseGeometryWidget`` are
removed.

* The ``SimpleTestCase.assertFormsetError()`` method is removed.

* The ``TransactionTestCase.assertQuerysetEqual()`` method is removed.

* Support for passing encoded JSON string literals to ``JSONField`` and
associated lookups and expressions is removed.

* Support for passing positional arguments to ``Signer`` and
``TimestampSigner`` is removed.

denial-of-service attack via very large inputs with a specific sequence of
characters.

CVE-2024-45231: Potential user email enumeration via response status on password reset
======================================================================================

Due to unhandled email sending failures, the
:class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm` class allowed remote
attackers to enumerate user emails by issuing password reset requests and
observing the outcomes.

issue with severity "high", and several bugs in 5.0.7.

CVE-2024-41989: Memory exhaustion in ``django.utils.numberformat.floatformat()``
================================================================================

If :tfilter:`floatformat` received a string representation of a number in
scientific notation with a large exponent, it could lead to significant memory
consumption.

To avoid this, decimals with more than 200 digits are now returned as is.

CVE-2024-41990: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in ``django.utils.html.urlize()``
===========================================================================================

:tfilter:`urlize` and :tfilter:`urlizetrunc` were subject to a potential

subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via certain inputs with a very
large number of Unicode characters.

CVE-2024-42005: Potential SQL injection in ``QuerySet.values()`` and ``values_list()``
======================================================================================

:meth:`.QuerySet.values` and :meth:`~.QuerySet.values_list` methods on models
with a ``JSONField`` were subject to SQL injection in column aliases, via a
crafted JSON object key as a passed ``*arg``.

Bugfixes
========

* Added missing validation for ``UniqueConstraint(nulls_distinct=False)`` when
using ``*expressions`` (:ticket:`35594`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0 where ``ModelAdmin.action_checkbox`` could
break the admin changelist HTML page when rendering a model instance with a
``__html__`` method (:ticket:`35606`).

* Fixed a crash when creating a model with a ``Field.db_default`` and a
``Meta.constraints`` constraint composed of ``__endswith``, ``__startswith``,
or ``__contains`` lookups (:ticket:`35625`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0.7 that caused a crash in
``LocaleMiddleware`` when processing a language code over 500 characters
(:ticket:`35627`).

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 that caused a system check crash when
``ModelAdmin.date_hierarchy`` was a ``GeneratedField`` with an
``output_field`` of ``DateField`` or ``DateTimeField`` (:ticket:`35628`).

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 which caused constraint validation to either crash
or incorrectly raise validation errors for constraints referring to fields
using ``Field.db_default`` (:ticket:`35638`).

Django 5.0.7 fixes two security issues with severity "moderate", two security
issues with severity "low", and one bug in 5.0.6.

CVE-2024-38875: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in ``django.utils.html.urlize()``
===========================================================================================

:tfilter:`urlize` and :tfilter:`urlizetrunc` were subject to a potential
denial-of-service attack via certain inputs with a very large number of
brackets.

CVE-2024-39329: Username enumeration through timing difference for users with unusable passwords
================================================================================================

The :meth:`~django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend.authenticate()` method
allowed remote attackers to enumerate users via a timing attack involving login
requests for users with unusable passwords.

CVE-2024-39330: Potential directory-traversal via ``Storage.save()``
====================================================================

Derived classes of the :class:`~django.core.files.storage.Storage` base class
which override :meth:`generate_filename()
<django.core.files.storage.Storage.generate_filename()>` without replicating
the file path validations existing in the parent class, allowed for potential
directory-traversal via certain inputs when calling :meth:`save()
<django.core.files.storage.Storage.save()>`.

Built-in ``Storage`` sub-classes were not affected by this vulnerability.

CVE-2024-39614: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in ``get_supported_language_variant()``
=================================================================================================

:meth:`~django.utils.translation.get_supported_language_variant` was subject to
a potential denial-of-service attack when used with very long strings
containing specific characters.

To mitigate this vulnerability, the language code provided to
:meth:`~django.utils.translation.get_supported_language_variant` is now parsed
up to a maximum length of 500 characters.

When the language code is over 500 characters, a :exc:`ValueError` will now be
raised if ``strict`` is ``True``, or if there is no generic variant and
``strict`` is ``False``.

Bugfixes
========

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 that caused a crash of ``Model.full_clean()`` on
unsaved model instances with a ``GeneratedField`` and certain defined
:attr:`Meta.constraints <django.db.models.Options.constraints>`
(:ticket:`35560`).

Django 5.0.4 fixes several bugs in 5.0.3.

Bugfixes
========

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 that caused a crash of ``Model.full_clean()`` on

==========================

5.0.3

==========================

*March 4, 2024*

Django 5.0.3 fixes a security issue with severity "moderate" and several bugs
in 5.0.2.

CVE-2024-27351: Potential regular expression denial-of-service in ``django.utils.text.Truncator.words()``
=========================================================================================================

``django.utils.text.Truncator.words()`` method (with ``html=True``) and
:tfilter:`truncatewords_html` template filter were subject to a potential
regular expression denial-of-service attack using a suitably crafted string
(follow up to :cve:`2019-14232` and :cve:`2023-43665`).

Bugfixes
========

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0.2 where ``intcomma`` template filter could
return a leading comma for string representation of floats (:ticket:`35172`).

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 that caused a crash of ``Signal.asend()`` and
``asend_robust()`` when all receivers were asynchronous functions
(:ticket:`35174`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0.1 where :meth:`.ModelAdmin.lookup_allowed`
would prevent filtering against foreign keys using lookups like ``__isnull``
when the field was not included in :attr:`.ModelAdmin.list_filter`
(:ticket:`35173`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0 that caused a crash of
``sensitive_variables`` and ``sensitive_post_parameters`` decorators on
functions loaded from ``.pyc`` files (:ticket:`35187`).

==========================

*February 6, 2024*

Django 5.0.2 fixes a security issue with severity "moderate" and several bugs
in 5.0.1. Also, the latest string translations from Transifex are incorporated.

CVE-2024-24680: Potential denial-of-service in ``intcomma`` template filter
===========================================================================

The ``intcomma`` template filter was subject to a potential denial-of-service
attack when used with very long strings.

a ``BinaryField``, ``TextField``, ``JSONField``, or ``GeometryField`` with a
``db_default`` (:ticket:`35162`).

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 that caused a migration crash on models with a
literal ``db_default`` of a complex type such as ``dict`` instance of a
``JSONField``. Running ``makemigrations`` might generate no-op ``AlterField``
operations for fields using ``db_default`` (:ticket:`35149`).

========================

5.0

========================

*December 4, 2023*

Welcome to Django 5.0!

These release notes cover the :ref:`new features <whats-new-5.0>`, as well as
some :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <backwards-incompatible-5.0>` you'll
want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 4.2 or earlier. We've
:ref:`begun the deprecation process for some features
<deprecated-features-5.0>`.

See the :doc:`/howto/upgrade-version` guide if you're updating an existing
project.

Python compatibility
====================

Django 5.0 supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12. We **highly recommend** and
only officially support the latest release of each series.

The Django 4.2.x series is the last to support Python 3.8 and 3.9.

Third-party library support for older version of Django
=======================================================

Following the release of Django 5.0, we suggest that third-party app authors
drop support for all versions of Django prior to 4.2. 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 5.0.

.. _whats-new-5.0:

What's new in Django 5.0
========================

Facet filters in the admin
--------------------------

Facet counts are now shown for applied filters in the admin changelist when
toggled on via the UI. This behavior can be changed via the new
:attr:`.ModelAdmin.show_facets` attribute. For more information see
:ref:`facet-filters`.

Simplified templates for form field rendering
---------------------------------------------

Django 5.0 introduces the concept of a field group, and field group templates.
This simplifies rendering of the related elements of a Django form field such
as its label, widget, help text, and errors.

For example, the template below:

.. code-block:: html+django

 <form>
 ...
 <div>
   {{ form.name.label_tag }}
   {% if form.name.help_text %}
     <div class="helptext" id="{{ form.name.auto_id }}_helptext">
       {{ form.name.help_text|safe }}
     </div>
   {% endif %}
   {{ form.name.errors }}
   {{ form.name }}
   <div class="row">
     <div class="col">
       {{ form.email.label_tag }}
       {% if form.email.help_text %}
         <div class="helptext" id="{{ form.email.auto_id }}_helptext">
           {{ form.email.help_text|safe }}
         </div>
       {% endif %}
       {{ form.email.errors }}
       {{ form.email }}
     </div>
     <div class="col">
       {{ form.password.label_tag }}
       {% if form.password.help_text %}
         <div class="helptext" id="{{ form.password.auto_id }}_helptext">
           {{ form.password.help_text|safe }}
         </div>
       {% endif %}
       {{ form.password.errors }}
       {{ form.password }}
     </div>
   </div>
 </div>
 ...
 </form>

Can now be simplified to:

.. code-block:: html+django

 <form>
 ...
 <div>
   {{ form.name.as_field_group }}
   <div class="row">
     <div class="col">{{ form.email.as_field_group }}</div>
     <div class="col">{{ form.password.as_field_group }}</div>
   </div>
 </div>
 ...
 </form>

:meth:`~django.forms.BoundField.as_field_group` renders fields with the
``"django/forms/field.html"`` template by default and can be customized on a
per-project, per-field, or per-request basis. See
:ref:`reusable-field-group-templates`.

Database-computed default values
--------------------------------

The new :attr:`Field.db_default <django.db.models.Field.db_default>` parameter
sets a database-computed default value. For example::

 from django.db import models
 from django.db.models.functions import Now, Pi


 class MyModel(models.Model):
     age = models.IntegerField(db_default=18)
     created = models.DateTimeField(db_default=Now())
     circumference = models.FloatField(db_default=2 * Pi())

Database generated model field
------------------------------

The new :class:`~django.db.models.GeneratedField` allows creation of database
generated columns. This field can be used on all supported database backends
to create a field that is always computed from other fields. For example::

 from django.db import models
 from django.db.models import F


 class Square(models.Model):
     side = models.IntegerField()
     area = models.GeneratedField(
         expression=F("side") * F("side"),
         output_field=models.BigIntegerField(),
         db_persist=True,
     )

More options for declaring field choices
----------------------------------------

:attr:`.Field.choices` *(for model fields)* and :attr:`.ChoiceField.choices`
*(for form fields)* allow for more flexibility when declaring their values. In
previous versions of Django, ``choices`` should either be a list of 2-tuples,
or an :ref:`field-choices-enum-types` subclass, but the latter required
accessing the ``.choices`` attribute to provide the values in the expected
form::

 from django.db import models

 Medal = models.TextChoices("Medal", "GOLD SILVER BRONZE")

 SPORT_CHOICES = [
     ("Martial Arts", [("judo", "Judo"), ("karate", "Karate")]),
     ("Racket", [("badminton", "Badminton"), ("tennis", "Tennis")]),
     ("unknown", "Unknown"),
 ]


 class Winner(models.Model):
     name = models.CharField(...)
     medal = models.CharField(..., choices=Medal.choices)
     sport = models.CharField(..., choices=SPORT_CHOICES)

Django 5.0 adds support for accepting a mapping or a callable instead of an
iterable, and also no longer requires ``.choices`` to be used directly to
expand :ref:`enumeration types <field-choices-enum-types>`::

 from django.db import models

 Medal = models.TextChoices("Medal", "GOLD SILVER BRONZE")

 SPORT_CHOICES = {   Using a mapping instead of a list of 2-tuples.
     "Martial Arts": {"judo": "Judo", "karate": "Karate"},
     "Racket": {"badminton": "Badminton", "tennis": "Tennis"},
     "unknown": "Unknown",
 }


 def get_scores():
     return [(i, str(i)) for i in range(10)]


 class Winner(models.Model):
     name = models.CharField(...)
     medal = models.CharField(..., choices=Medal)   Using `.choices` not required.
     sport = models.CharField(..., choices=SPORT_CHOICES)
     score = models.IntegerField(choices=get_scores)   A callable is allowed.

Under the hood the provided ``choices`` are normalized into a list of 2-tuples
as the canonical form whenever the ``choices`` value is updated. For more
information, please check the :ref:`model field reference on choices
<field-choices>`.

.. _backwards-incompatible-5.0:

Backwards incompatible changes in 5.0
=====================================

Database backend API
--------------------

This section describes changes that may be needed in third-party database
backends.

* ``DatabaseFeatures.supports_expression_defaults`` should be set to ``False``
if the database doesn't support using database functions as defaults.

* ``DatabaseFeatures.supports_default_keyword_in_insert`` should be set to
``False`` if the database doesn't support the ``DEFAULT`` keyword in
``INSERT`` queries.

* ``DatabaseFeatures.supports_default_keyword_in_bulk_insert`` should be set to
``False`` if the database doesn't support the ``DEFAULT`` keyword in bulk
``INSERT`` queries.

:mod:`django.contrib.gis`
-------------------------

* Support for GDAL 2.2 and 2.3 is removed.

* Support for GEOS 3.6 and 3.7 is removed.

:mod:`django.contrib.sitemaps`
------------------------------

* The ``django.contrib.sitemaps.ping_google()`` function and the
``ping_google`` management command are removed as the Google
Sitemaps ping endpoint is deprecated and will be removed in January 2024.

* The ``django.contrib.sitemaps.SitemapNotFound`` exception class is removed.

Dropped support for MySQL < 8.0.11
----------------------------------

Support for pre-releases of MySQL 8.0.x series is removed. Django 5.0 supports
MySQL 8.0.11 and higher.

Using ``create_defaults__exact`` may now be required with ``QuerySet.update_or_create()``
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:meth:`.QuerySet.update_or_create` now supports the parameter
``create_defaults``. As a consequence, any models that have a field named
``create_defaults`` that are used with an ``update_or_create()`` should specify
the field in the lookup with ``create_defaults__exact``.

.. _migrating-uuidfield:

Migrating existing ``UUIDField`` on MariaDB 10.7+
-------------------------------------------------

On MariaDB 10.7+, ``UUIDField`` is now created as ``UUID`` column rather than
``CHAR(32)`` column. As a consequence, any ``UUIDField`` created in
Django < 5.0 should be replaced with a ``UUIDField`` subclass backed by
``CHAR(32)``::

 class Char32UUIDField(models.UUIDField):
     def db_type(self, connection):
         return "char(32)"

     def get_db_prep_value(self, value, connection, prepared=False):
         value = super().get_db_prep_value(value, connection, prepared)
         if value is not None:
             value = value.hex
         return value

For example::

 class MyModel(models.Model):
     uuid = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4)

Should become::

 class Char32UUIDField(models.UUIDField): ...


 class MyModel(models.Model):
     uuid = Char32UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4)

Running the :djadmin:`makemigrations` command will generate a migration
containing a no-op ``AlterField`` operation.

Miscellaneous
-------------

* The ``instance`` argument of the undocumented
``BaseModelFormSet.save_existing()`` method is renamed to ``obj``.

* The undocumented ``django.contrib.admin.helpers.checkbox`` is removed.

* Integer fields are now validated as 64-bit integers on SQLite to match the
behavior of ``sqlite3``.

* The undocumented ``Query.annotation_select_mask`` attribute is changed from a
set of strings to an ordered list of strings.

* ``ImageField.update_dimension_fields()`` is no longer called on the
``post_init`` signal if ``width_field`` and ``height_field`` are not set.

* :class:`~django.db.models.functions.Now` database function now uses
``LOCALTIMESTAMP`` instead of ``CURRENT_TIMESTAMP`` on Oracle.

* :attr:`.AdminSite.site_header` is now rendered in a ``<div>`` tag instead of
``<h1>``. Screen reader users rely on heading elements for navigation within
a page. Having two ``<h1>`` elements was confusing and the site header wasn't
helpful as it is repeated on all pages.

* In order to improve accessibility, the admin's main content area and header
content area are now rendered in a ``<main>`` and ``<header>`` tag instead of
``<div>``.

* On databases without native support for the SQL ``XOR`` operator, ``^`` as
the exclusive or (``XOR``) operator now returns rows that are matched by an
odd number of operands rather than exactly one operand. This is consistent
with the behavior of MySQL, MariaDB, and Python.

* The minimum supported version of ``asgiref`` is increased from 3.6.0 to
3.7.0.

* The minimum supported version of ``selenium`` is increased from 3.8.0 to
4.8.0.

* The ``AlreadyRegistered`` and ``NotRegistered`` exceptions are moved from
``django.contrib.admin.sites`` to ``django.contrib.admin.exceptions``.
