< p > Previously < code > read_only< / code > fields when combined with a < code > default< / code > value would use the < code > default< / code > for create and update
operations. This was counter-intuitive in some circumstances and led to difficulties supporting dotted < code > source< / code >
attributes on nullable relations.< / p >
< p > In order to maintain the old behaviour you may need to pass the value of < code > read_only< / code > fields when calling < code > save()< / code > in
the view:< / p >

serializer.save(owner=self.request.user)

< p > < a href = "https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/5705" > #5705< / a > < code > list_route< / code > and < code > detail_route< / code > have been merge into a single < code > action< / code > decorator. This improves viewset action introspection, and will allow extra actions to be displayed in the Browsable API in future versions.< / p >
< p > Both < code > list_route< / code > and < code > detail_route< / code > are now pending deprecation. They will be deprecated in 3.9 and removed entirely
in 3.10.< / p >
< p > The new < code > action< / code > decorator takes a boolean < code > detail< / code > argument.< / p >

< p > For < code > APIView< / code > you should instead set a < code > schema = None< / code > attribute on the view class.< / p >
< p > For function based views the < code > @schema< / code > decorator can be used to exclude the view from the schema, by using < code > @schema(None)< / code > .< / p >

< p > We're doing some consolidation in order to make this happen. It's planned that 3.9 will drop the < code > coreapi< / code > and < code > coreschema< / code > libraries, and instead use < code > apistar< / code > for the API documentation generation, schema generation, and API client libraries.< / p >
