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 minor API changes. You should read the release notes carefully before upgrading between medium point releases.

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

2.1.x series

Master

  • Support proper 401 Unauthorized responses where appropriate, instead of always using 403 Forbidden.
  • Support json encoding of timedelta objects.
  • format_suffix_patterns() now supports include style URL patterns.
  • Bugfix: Return proper validation errors when incorrect types supplied for relational fields.
  • Bugfix: Support nullable FKs with SlugRelatedField.

Note: If the primary authentication class is TokenAuthentication or BasicAuthentication, a view will now correctly return 401 responses to unauthenticated access, with an appropriate WWW-Authenticate header, instead of 403 responses.

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

Note: Prior to 2.1.16, The Decimals would render in JSON using floating point if simplejson was installed, but otherwise render using string notation. Now that use of simplejson has been deprecated, Decimals will consistently render using string notation. See #582 for more details.

2.1.15

Date: 3rd Jan 2013

  • Added PATCH support.
  • Added RetrieveUpdateAPIView.
  • Remove unused internal save_m2m flag on ModelSerializer.save().

  • Bugfix: Partial updates should not set default values if field is not included.

2.1.14

Date: 31st Dec 2012

  • Bugfix: ModelSerializers now include reverse FK fields on creation.
  • Bugfix: Model fields with blank=True are now required=False by default.

Note: From 2.1.14 onwards, relational fields move out of the fields.py module and into the new relations.py module, in order to separate them from regular data type fields, such as CharField and IntegerField.

This change will not affect user code, so long as it's following the recommended import style of from rest_framework import serializers and referring to fields using the style serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField.

  • Big refactoring changes since 0.1.0, ask on the discussion group if anything isn't clear. The public API has been massively cleaned up. Expect it to be fairly stable from here on in.

  • Resource becomes decoupled into View and Resource, your views should now inherit from View, not Resource.

  • allowed_methods and anon_allowed_methods are now defunct. if a method is defined, it's available. The permissions attribute on a View is now used to provide generic permissions checking. Use permission classes such as FullAnonAccess, IsAuthenticated or IsUserOrIsAnonReadOnly to set the permissions.

  • The authenticators class becomes authentication. Class names change to Authentication.

  • The emitters class becomes renderers. Class names change to Renderers.

  • ResponseException becomes ErrorResponse.

  • The mixin classes have been nicely refactored, the basic mixins are now RequestMixin, ResponseMixin, AuthMixin, and ResourceMixin You can reuse these mixin classes individually without using the View class.

  • Final build before pulling in all the refactoring changes for 0.2, in case anyone needs to hang on to 0.1.
