Djblets 5.2 Release Notes¶

Installation¶

• Documentation

Packaging¶

• Django 4.2.17 (or a higher 4.2.x) is now required.

  We previously depended on 4.2.13 or higher.

• Modernized the Djblets package to use the modern Python pyproject.toml format.

  This will ensure easy installation going forward.

djblets.configforms¶

• Reverted changes to LessCSS variables for configforms that could affect consumers.

  In Djblets 5.1, the LessCSS variables defining the colors and layout were updated to reference CSS variables instead. This broke any consumers that made calculations on the LessCSS variables (such as applying darken() on a color).

  We’ve restored the old variables and deprecated them. Call sites should make use of the new CSS variables instead.

djblets.datagrid¶

• Fixed the color shown for empty rows on datagrids in dark mode.

djblets.db¶

• Added new helper methods to models using CommaSeparatedValuesField.

  The models gain the following methods:

  • get_fieldname_list()

  • get_fieldname_display()

  Both return a version of the stored list using any display names provided by the choices= argument passed to the field.

djblets.extensions¶

• Added dark mode support for the extensions UI using Ink.

• Fixed using django.template.RequestContext with {% template_hook_point %}.

djblets.forms¶

• Added dark mode support for several widgets using Ink.

  This includes:

  • CopyableTextInput

  • RelatedObjectWidget

• Added customization options for the Djblets.RelatedObjectSelectorView() JavaScript class.

Subclasses of this class can now change the following attributes:

• autoAddClose: Whether to automatically add a close action to selected options (defaults to true).

• optionTagName: The tag name to use for selected options (defaults to <li> tags).

djblets.siteconfig¶

• Added new options for patching siteconfig settings using the command line.

  The set-siteconfig management command now supports the following new arguments:

  • --json-patch: Allows for providing a filename containing a JSON Patch to apply to the settings.

  • --json-merge-patch: Allows for providing a filename containing a JSON Merge Patch to apply to the settings.

  Both options can accept a filename or - to read from standard input. These can create new settings, delete settings, or modify existing settings.

  You will be prompted to confirm the settings before they’re applied. You can pass --confirm to skip this, or --dry-run to simulate applying settings.

  Note that this feature can be dangerous if used incorrectly. Please test on a backup or staging server if you’re unsure.
