5.0.1

Not secure
==========================

*January 2, 2024*

Django 5.0.1 fixes several bugs in 5.0.

Bugfixes
========

* Reallowed, following a regression in Django 5.0, using a foreign key to a
model with a primary key that is not ``AutoField`` in
:attr:`.ModelAdmin.list_filter` (:ticket:`35020`).

* Fixed a long standing bug in handling the ``RETURNING INTO`` clause that
caused a crash when creating a model instance with a ``GeneratedField`` which
``output_field`` had backend-specific converters (:ticket:`35024`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0 that caused a crash of ``Model.save()`` for
models with both ``GeneratedField`` and ``ForeignKey`` fields
(:ticket:`35019`).

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 that caused a migration crash on Oracle < 23c when
adding a ``GeneratedField`` with ``output_field=BooleanField``
(:ticket:`35018`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0 where admin fields on the same line could
overflow the page and become non-interactive (:ticket:`35012`).

* Added compatibility for ``oracledb`` 2.0.0 (:ticket:`35054`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0 where querysets referenced incorrect field
names from ``FilteredRelation()`` (:ticket:`35050`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0 that caused a system check crash when
``ModelAdmin.filter_horizontal`` or ``filter_vertical`` contained a reverse
many-to-many relation with ``related_name`` (:ticket:`35056`).


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

5.0

Not secure
========================

*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>`.

and :meth:`.QuerySet.aupdate_or_create` methods allows specifying a different
field values for the create operation.

* The new ``violation_error_code`` attribute of
:class:`~django.db.models.BaseConstraint`,

offset for valid values.

.. _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``.

* The minimum supported version of SQLite is increased from 3.21.0 to 3.27.0.

* Support for ``cx_Oracle`` < 8.3 is removed.

* Executing SQL queries before the app registry has been fully populated now
raises :exc:`RuntimeWarning`.

* :exc:`~django.core.exceptions.BadRequest` is raised for non-UTF-8 encoded
requests with the :mimetype:`application/x-www-form-urlencoded` content type.
See :rfc:`1866` for more details.

* The minimum supported version of ``colorama`` is increased to 0.4.6.

* The minimum supported version of ``docutils`` is increased to 0.19.

* Filtering querysets against overflowing integer values now always returns an
empty queryset. As a consequence, you may need to use ``ExpressionWrapper()``
to :ref:`explicitly wrap <using-f-with-annotations>` arithmetic against
integer fields in such cases.

.. _deprecated-features-5.0:

Features deprecated in 5.0
==========================

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

* The ``DjangoDivFormRenderer`` and ``Jinja2DivFormRenderer`` transitional form
renderers are deprecated.

* Passing positional arguments ``name`` and ``violation_error_message`` to
:class:`~django.db.models.BaseConstraint` is deprecated in favor of
keyword-only arguments.

* ``request`` is added to the signature of :meth:`.ModelAdmin.lookup_allowed`.
Support for ``ModelAdmin`` subclasses that do not accept this argument is
deprecated.

* The ``get_joining_columns()`` method of ``ForeignObject`` and
``ForeignObjectRel`` is deprecated. Starting with Django 6.0,
``django.db.models.sql.datastructures.Join`` will no longer fallback to
``get_joining_columns()``. Subclasses should implement
``get_joining_fields()`` instead.

* The ``ForeignObject.get_reverse_joining_columns()`` method is deprecated.

* The default scheme for ``forms.URLField`` will change from ``"http"`` to
``"https"`` in Django 6.0. Set :setting:`FORMS_URLFIELD_ASSUME_HTTPS`
transitional setting to ``True`` to opt into assuming ``"https"`` during the
Django 5.x release cycle.

* ``FORMS_URLFIELD_ASSUME_HTTPS`` transitional setting is deprecated.

* Support for calling ``format_html()`` without passing args or kwargs will be
removed.

* Support for ``cx_Oracle`` is deprecated in favor of `oracledb`_ 1.3.2+ Python
driver.

* ``DatabaseOperations.field_cast_sql()`` is deprecated in favor of
``DatabaseOperations.lookup_cast()``. Starting with Django 6.0,
``BuiltinLookup.process_lhs()`` will no longer call ``field_cast_sql()``.
Third-party database backends should implement ``lookup_cast()`` instead.

* The ``django.db.models.enums.ChoicesMeta`` metaclass is renamed to
``ChoicesType``.

* The ``Prefetch.get_current_queryset()`` method is deprecated.

* The ``get_prefetch_queryset()`` method of related managers and descriptors
is deprecated. Starting with Django 6.0, ``get_prefetcher()`` and
``prefetch_related_objects()`` will no longer fallback to
``get_prefetch_queryset()``. Subclasses should implement
``get_prefetch_querysets()`` instead.

*September 3, 2024*

Django 4.2.16 fixes one security issue with severity "moderate" and one
security issue with severity "low" in 4.2.15.

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.


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

4.2.15

Not secure
===========================

*August 6, 2024*

Django 4.2.15 fixes three security issues with severity "moderate", one
security issue with severity "high", and a regression in 4.2.14.

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

CVE-2024-41991: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in ``django.utils.html.urlize()`` and ``AdminURLFieldWidget``
=======================================================================================================================

:tfilter:`urlize`, :tfilter:`urlizetrunc`, and ``AdminURLFieldWidget`` were
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
========

* Fixed a regression in Django 4.2.14 that caused a crash in
``LocaleMiddleware`` when processing a language code over 500 characters
(:ticket:`35627`).


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

4.2.14

Not secure
===========================

*July 9, 2024*

Django 4.2.14 fixes two security issues with severity "moderate" and two
security issues with severity "low" in 4.2.13.

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``.


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

4.2.13

Not secure
===========================

*May 7, 2024*

Django 4.2.13 fixes a packaging error in 4.2.12.
