Django 1.6 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT

Welcome to Django 1.6!

These release notes cover the new features, as well as some backwards incompatible changes you’ll want to be aware of when upgrading from Django 1.5 or older versions. We’ve also dropped some features, which are detailed in our deprecation plan, and we’ve begun the deprecation process for some features.

What’s new in Django 1.6

Minor features

  • Authentication backends can raise PermissionDenied to immediately fail the authentication chain.
  • The assertQuerysetEqual() now checks for undefined order and raises ValueError if undefined order is spotted. The order is seen as undefined if the given QuerySet isn’t ordered and there are more than one ordered values to compare against.

Backwards incompatible changes in 1.6

Warning

In addition to the changes outlined in this section, be sure to review the deprecation plan for any features that have been removed. If you haven’t updated your code within the deprecation timeline for a given feature, its removal may appear as a backwards incompatible change.
