<h1 id="django-rest-framework-311"><a class="toclink" href="#django-rest-framework-311">Django REST framework 3.11</a></h1>
<p>The 3.11 release adds support for Django 3.0.</p>
<ul>
<li>Our supported Python versions are now: 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8.</li>
<li>Our supported Django versions are now: 1.11, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, and 3.0.</li>
</ul>
<p>This release will be the last to support Python 3.5 or Django 1.11.</p>
<h2 id="openapi-schema-generation-improvements"><a class="toclink" href="#openapi-schema-generation-improvements">OpenAPI Schema Generation Improvements</a></h2>
<p>The OpenAPI schema generation continues to mature. Some highlights in 3.11
include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatic mapping of Django REST Framework renderers and parsers into OpenAPI
request and response media-types.</li>
<li>Improved mapping JSON schema mapping types, for example in HStoreFields, and
with large integer values.</li>
<li>Porting of the old CoreAPI parsing of docstrings to form OpenAPI operation
descriptions.</li>
</ul>
<p>In this example view operation descriptions for the <code>get</code> and <code>post</code> methods will
be extracted from the class docstring:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">class DocStringExampleListView(APIView):
&quot;&quot;&quot;
get: A description of my GET operation.
post: A description of my POST operation.
&quot;&quot;&quot;
permission_classes = [permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly]
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
...
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
...
</code></pre>
<h2 id="validator-default-context"><a class="toclink" href="#validator-default-context">Validator / Default Context</a></h2>
<p>In some circumstances a Validator class or a Default class may need to access the serializer field with which it is called, or the <code>.context</code> with which the serializer was instantiated. In particular:</p>
<ul>
<li>Uniqueness validators need to be able to determine the name of the field to which they are applied, in order to run an appropriate database query.</li>
<li>The <code>CurrentUserDefault</code> needs to be able to determine the context with which the serializer was instantiated, in order to return the current user instance.</li>
</ul>
<p>Previous our approach to this was that implementations could include a <code>set_context</code> method, which would be called prior to validation. However this approach had issues with potential race conditions. We have now move this approach into a pending deprecation state. It will continue to function, but will be escalated to a deprecated state in 3.12, and removed entirely in 3.13.</p>
<p>Instead, validators or defaults which require the serializer context, should include a <code>requires_context = True</code> attribute on the class.</p>
<p>The <code>__call__</code> method should then include an additional <code>serializer_field</code> argument.</p>
<p>Validator implementations will look like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">class CustomValidator:
requires_context = True
def __call__(self, value, serializer_field):
...
</code></pre>
<p>Default implementations will look like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">class CustomDefault:
requires_context = True
def __call__(self, serializer_field):
...
</code></pre>
