Djblets 4.0 Beta 2 Release Notes¶

Installation¶

To install this release, run the following:

$ sudo pip3 install \
    -f https://downloads.reviewboard.org/betas/reviewboard/6.0-beta-2/ \
    --pre -U Djblets

We do not recommend upgrading a production server with this version of Djblets. This version is still in development, and is not guaranteed to have API stability.

• Documentation

• Djblets on PyPI

Packaging¶

• Djblets 4.x supports Python 3.7 - 3.11.

• Django 3.2.x is required.

• cryptography 1.8.1+ is required.

• django-pipeline 2.0.9 - 2.0.x is required.

• markdown 3.3.x is required.

For building packages, Node.JS packages have now been consolidated as dependencies under a new utility package. All Node.JS dependencies are now listed in package.json instead of djblets/dependencies.py.

• @beanbag/frontend-buildkit 1.1.0 - 1.1.x

djblets.datagrids¶

• Fixed crashes loading datagrids with ?sort=, query arguments.

  Datagrids can’t normally create a link with a sort field that just contains a comma, but some web crawlers would manufacture that URL, causing error emails to be generated.

• djblets.datagrid.grids.DataGrid.load_extra_state() must now return a list of field names to save.

  The old usage had previously raised a deprecation warning.

djblets.extensions¶

• Extensions that define static media using TypeScript (.ts) files but do not include a rollup.config.js file will no longer cause the devserver to hang.

• djblets.testing.testrunners.TestRunner has been updated to allow usage of pytest.

  This will become the default in Djblets 5.

djblets.forms¶

• The value attribute to djblets.forms.widgets.ListEditWidget must be passed as a list instead of a string.

  The old usage had previously raised a deprecation warning.

djblets.pipeline¶

• build_pipeline_settings() now expects parameters to be passed as keyword arguments.

  Calling this with positional arguments will raise a deprecation warning.

djblets.util¶

• djblets.util.properties.AliasProperty and djblets.util.properties.TypedProperty now expect constructor parameters to be passed as keyword arguments.

  Calling these with positional arguments will raise a deprecation warning.

djblets.webapi¶

• Caching behavior for API resources has been dramatically improved, removing some legacy limits on HTTP caching.

• The token_generator_id and token_info parameters are now required for djblets.webapi.managers.WebAPITokenManager.generate_token().

  The old usage had previously raised a deprecation warning.
