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.

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

3.7.1

Date: 16th October 2017

  • Fix Interactive documentation always uses false for boolean fields in requests #5492
  • Improve compatibility with Django 2.0 alpha. #5500 #5503
  • Improved handling of schema naming collisions #5486
  • Added additional docs and tests around providing a default value for dotted source fields #5489

3.7.0

Date: 6th October 2017

  • Fix DjangoModelPermissions to ensure user authentication before calling the view's get_queryset() method. As a side effect, this changes the order of the HTTP method permissions and authentication checks, and 405 responses will only be returned when authenticated. If you want to replicate the old behavior, see the PR for details. #5376

  • Deprecated exclude_from_schema on APIView and api_view decorator. Set schema = None or @schema(None) as appropriate. #5422

  • Timezone-aware DateTimeFields now respect active or default timezone during serialization, instead of always using UTC. #5435

    Resolves inconsistency whereby instances were serialised with supplied datetime for create but UTC for retrieve. #3732

    Possible backwards compatibility break if you were relying on datetime strings being UTC. Have client interpret datetimes or set default or active timezone (docs) to UTC if needed.

  • Removed DjangoFilterBackend inline with deprecation policy. Use django_filters.rest_framework.FilterSet and/or django_filters.rest_framework.DjangoFilterBackend instead. #5273

  • Don't strip microseconds from time when encoding. Makes consistent with datetime. BC Change: Previously only milliseconds were encoded. #5440

  • Added STRICT_JSON setting (default True) to raise exception for the extended float values (nan, inf, -inf) accepted by Python's json module. BC Change: Previously these values would converted to corresponding strings. Set STRICT_JSON to False to restore the previous behaviour. #5265

  • Add support for page_size parameter in CursorPaginator class #5250

  • Make DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS None by default. BC Change: If your were just setting PAGE_SIZE to enable pagination you will need to add DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS. The previous default was rest_framework.pagination.PageNumberPagination. There is a system check warning to catch this case. You may silence that if you are setting pagination class on a per-view basis. #5170

  • Catch APIException from get_serializer_fields in schema generation. #5443

  • Allow custom authentication and permission classes when using include_docs_urls #5448

  • Defer translated string evaluation on validators. #5452

  • Added default value for 'detail' param into 'ValidationError' exception #5342

  • Adjust schema get_filter_fields rules to match framework #5454

  • Updated test matrix to add Django 2.0 and drop Django 1.8 & 1.9 BC Change: This removes Django 1.8 and Django 1.9 from Django REST Framework supported versions. #5457

  • Fixed a deprecation warning in serializers.ModelField #5058

  • Added a more explicit error message when get_queryset returned None #5348

  • Fix docs for Response data description #5361

  • Fix pycache/.pyc excludes when packaging #5373

  • Add the project layout to the quickstart #5434

  • Reuse 'apply_markdown' function in 'render_markdown' templatetag #5469

  • Added links to drf-openapi package in docs #5470

  • Added docstrings code highlighting with pygments #5462

  • Fixed documentation rendering for views named data #5472

  • Docs: Clarified 'to_internal_value()' validation behavior #5466

  • Remove Django 1.8 & 1.9 compatibility code #5481

  • Remove deprecated schema code from DefaultRouter #5482

  • Refactor schema generation to allow per-view customisation. BC Change: SchemaGenerator.get_serializer_fields has been refactored as AutoSchema.get_serializer_fields and drops the view argument [#5354][gh5354]
