Release notes Django 2.1 release notes Features deprecated in 2.1

QuerySet.raw() now caches its results like regular querysets. Use iterator() if you don’t want caching. The database router allow_relation() method is called in more cases. Improperly written routers may need to be updated accordingly.

Release notes Django 3.2 release notes What’s new in Django 3.2Minor features

TransactionTestCase.assertQuerysetEqual() now supports direct comparison against another queryset rather than being restricted to comparison against a list of string representations of objects when using the default value for the transform argument.

Release notes Django 4.1 release notes Features deprecated in 4.1

Use errors=[] instead. django.contrib.sessions.serializers.PickleSerializer is deprecated due to the risk of remote code execution. The usage of QuerySet.iterator() on a queryset that prefetches related objects without providing the chunk_size argument is deprecated. In older versions, no prefetching was done.

Release notes Django 5.0 release notes Features deprecated in 5.0

Filtering querysets against overflowing integer values now always returns an empty queryset. As a consequence, you may need to use ExpressionWrapper() to explicitly wrap arithmetic against integer fields in such cases.

Release notes Django 5.1 release notes Features deprecated in 5.1

To improve performance, the delete_selected admin action now uses QuerySet.bulk_create() when creating multiple LogEntry objects. As a result, pre_save and post_save signals for LogEntry are not sent when multiple objects are deleted via this admin action.

Release notes Django 6.2 release notes - UNDER DEVELOPMENT

Omitting the argument is equivalent to the prior safe=False usage. Calling QuerySet.aiterator() after prefetch_related() without providing a chunk_size is deprecated. It currently falls back to a chunk_size of 2000, but a ValueError will be raised in Django 2029.

5.1 5.2 6.0

Basic usage

Reference Built-in template tags and filters

Outputs the current query string verbatim. So if the query string in the request is ?color=green, the output would be ?color=green. If the current query string is empty, the output will be ?.

dev

Setting items

Reference Built-in template tags and filters

Adds or modifies parameters in the query string. Each keyword argument will be added to the query string, replacing any existing value for that key. For instance, if the current query string is ?color=green, the output will be ?color=red&size=S.
