Release Notes

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 RemovedInDRF13Warning warnings, subclassing PendingDeprecationWarning, 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 subclass 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 show:

pip show djangorestframework

3.8.1

Date: 4th April 2018

Use old url_name behavior in route decorators #5915

For list_route and detail_route maintain the old behavior of url_name, basing it on the url_path instead of the function name.

3.8.0

Date: 3rd April 2018

Breaking Change: Alter read_only plus default behaviour. #5886

read_only fields will now always be excluded from writable fields.

Previously read_only fields with a default value would use the default for create and update operations.

In order to maintain the old behaviour you may need to pass the value of read_only fields when calling save() in the view:
```
  def perform_create(self, serializer):
      serializer.save(owner=self.request.user)
```
Alternatively you may override save() or create() or update() on the serializer as appropriate.
Correct allow_null behaviour when required=False #5888

Without an explicit default, allow_null implies a default of null for outgoing serialization. Previously such fields were being skipped when read-only or otherwise not required.

Possible backwards compatibility break if you were relying on such fields being excluded from the outgoing representation. In order to restore the old behaviour you can override data to exclude the field when None.

For example:
```
  @property
  def data(self):
      """
      Drop `maybe_none` field if None.
      """
      data = super().data
      if 'maybe_none' in data and data['maybe_none'] is None:
          del data['maybe_none']
      return data
```
Refactor dynamic route generation and improve viewset action introspectibility. #5705

ViewSets have been provided with new attributes and methods that allow it to introspect its set of actions and the details of the current action.
- Merged list_route and detail_route into a single action decorator.
- Get all extra actions on a ViewSet with .get_extra_actions().
- Extra actions now set the url_name and url_path on the decorated method.
- url_name is now based on the function name, instead of the url_path, as the path is not always suitable (e.g., capturing arguments in the path).
- Enable action url reversing through .reverse_action() method (added in 3.7.4)
- Example reverse call: self.reverse_action(self.custom_action.url_name)
- Add detail initkwarg to indicate if the current action is operating on a collection or a single instance.
Additional changes:
- Deprecated list_route & detail_route in favor of action decorator with detail boolean.
- Deprecated dynamic list/detail route variants in favor of DynamicRoute with detail boolean.
- Refactored the router's dynamic route generation.
- list_route and detail_route maintain the old behavior of url_name, basing it on the url_path instead of the function name.

3.7.4

Date: 20th December 2017

Schema: Extract method for manual_fields processing #5633

Allows for easier customisation of manual_fields processing, for example to provide per-method manual fields. AutoSchema adds get_manual_fields, as the intended override point, and a utility method update_fields, to handle by-name field replacement from a list, which, in general, you are not expected to override.

Note: AutoSchema.__init__ now ensures manual_fields is a list. Previously may have been stored internally as None.

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 serialized 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
