Release Notes

Release Early, Release Often

— Eric S. Raymond, The Cathedral and the Bazaar.

Versioning

Minor version numbers (0.0.x) are used for changes that are API compatible. You should be able to upgrade between minor point releases without any other code changes.

Medium version numbers (0.x.0) may include API changes, in line with the deprecation policy. You should read the release notes carefully before upgrading between medium point releases.

Major version numbers (x.0.0) are reserved for substantial project milestones. No major point releases are currently planned.

Deprecation policy

REST framework releases follow a formal deprecation policy, which is in line with Django's deprecation policy.

The timeline for deprecation of a feature present in version 1.0 would work as follows:

  • Version 1.1 would remain fully backwards compatible with 1.0, but would raise PendingDeprecationWarning warnings if you use the feature that are due to be deprecated. These warnings are silent by default, but can be explicitly enabled when you're ready to start migrating any required changes. For example if you start running your tests using python -Wd manage.py test, you'll be warned of any API changes you need to make.

  • Version 1.2 would escalate these warnings to DeprecationWarning, which is loud by default.

  • Version 1.3 would remove the deprecated bits of API entirely.

Note that in line with Django's policy, any parts of the framework not mentioned in the documentation should generally be considered private API, and may be subject to change.

Upgrading

To upgrade Django REST framework to the latest version, use pip:

pip install -U djangorestframework

You can determine your currently installed version using pip freeze:

pip freeze | grep djangorestframework

2.4.0

  • Use py.test
  • @detail_route and @list_route decorators replace @action and @link.

  • Added NUM_PROXIES setting for smarter client IP identification.
  • Added MAX_PAGINATE_BY setting and max_paginate_by generic view attribute.
  • Added cache attribute to throttles to allow overriding of default cache.
  • Bugfix: ?page_size=0 query parameter now falls back to default page size for view, instead of always turning pagination off.

2.3.x series

2.3.14

2.3.12

Date: 15th January 2014

  • Security fix: OrderingField now only allows ordering on readable serializer fields, or on fields explicitly specified using ordering_fields. This prevents users being able to order by fields that are not visible in the API, and exploiting the ordering of sensitive data such as password hashes.
  • Bugfix: write_only = True fields now display in the browsable API.

2.3.11

Date: 14th January 2014

  • JSON renderer now deals with objects that implement a dict-like interface.
  • Fix compatiblity with newer versions of django-oauth-plus.

  • Bugfix: Prevent double-escaping of non-latin1 URL query params when appending format=json params.

2.3.10

  • Add in choices information for ChoiceFields in response to OPTIONS requests.
  • Added pre_delete() and post_delete() method hooks.
  • Added status code category helper functions.

2.3.9

Date: 15th November 2013

  • Fix Django 1.6 exception API compatibility issue caused by ValidationError.
  • Include errors in HTML forms in browsable API.
  • Added JSON renderer support for numpy scalars.

  • Added cache attribute to throttles to allow overriding of default cache.
  • 'Raw data' tab in browsable API now contains pre-populated data.
  • 'Raw data' and 'HTML form' tab preference in browseable API now saved between page views.
  • Bugfix: required=True argument fixed for boolean serializer fields.
  • Bugfix: client.force_authenticate(None) should also clear session info if it exists.
  • Bugfix: Client sending empty string instead of file now clears FileField.
  • Bugfix: Empty values on ChoiceFields with required=False now consistently return None.
  • Bugfix: Clients setting page_size=0 now simply returns the default page size, instead of disabling pagination. [*]

[*] Note that the change in page_size=0 behaviour fixes what is considered to be a bug in how clients can effect the pagination size. However if you were relying on this behavior you will need to add the following mixin to your list views in order to preserve the existing behavior.

class DisablePaginationMixin(object):
    def get_paginate_by(self, queryset=None):
        if self.request.QUERY_PARAMS[self.paginate_by_param] == '0':
            return None
        return super(DisablePaginationMixin, self).get_paginate_by(queryset)

  • Bugfix: Ensure we always return 404 instead of 500 if a lookup field cannot be converted to the correct lookup type. (Eg non-numeric AutoInteger pk lookup)

  • Bugfix: Fix 500 error is OAuth not attempted with OAuthAuthentication class installed.
  • Serializer.save() now supports arbitrary keyword args which are passed through to the object .save() method. Mixins use force_insert and force_update where appropriate, resulting in one less database query.

  • Bugfix for serializer data being uncacheable with pickle protocol 0.
  • Bugfixes for model field validation edge-cases.
  • Bugfix for authtoken migration while using a custom user model and south.

2.2.1

Date: 22nd Feb 2013

  • Bugfix: request.DATA should return an empty QueryDict with no data, not None.

Security note: Following the disclosure of security vulnerabilities in Python's XML parsing libraries, use of the XMLParser class now requires the defusedxml package to be installed.

The security vulnerabilities only affect APIs which use the XMLParser class, by enabling it in any views, or by having it set in the DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES setting. Note that the XMLParser class is not enabled by default, so this change should affect a minority of users.

  • Allow serializers to handle dicts as well as objects.

  • Bugfix: Fix styling on browsable API login.
  • Bugfix: Fix issue with deserializing empty to-many relations.
  • Bugfix: Ensure model field validation is still applied for ModelSerializer subclasses with an custom .restore_object() method.

Note: See the 2.2 announcement for full details.

2.1.16

Date: 14th Jan 2013

  • Deprecate django.utils.simplejson in favor of Python 2.6's built-in json module.
  • Bugfix: auto_now, auto_now_add and other editable=False fields now default to read-only.
  • Bugfix: PK fields now only default to read-only if they are an AutoField or if editable=False.
  • Bugfix: Validation errors instead of exceptions when serializers receive incorrect types.
  • Bugfix: Validation errors instead of exceptions when related fields receive incorrect types.
  • Bugfix: Handle ObjectDoesNotExist exception when serializing null reverse one-to-one
