.. spelling:: jQuery Mailgun ======================= Oscar 1.6 release notes ======================= :release: 2018-05-23 Welcome to Oscar 1.6 Table of contents: .. contents:: :local: :depth: 1 .. _compatibility_of_1.6: Compatibility ------------- Oscar 1.6 is compatible with Django 1.11 and Django 2.0 as well as Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6. Official support for Django 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10 has been dropped. .. _new_in_1.6: What's new in Oscar 1.6? ------------------------ - Added support for managing large amounts of vouchers grouped in sets. Removal of deprecated features ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - ``oscar.core.phonenumber.PhoneNumber`` is removed. Use ``phonenumber_field.phonenumber.PhoneNumber`` instead. - Removed the redundant ``OSCAR_PROMOTION_MERCHANDISING_BLOCK_TYPES`` setting. Minor changes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - The majority of the Oscar class imports now use dynamic loading, instead of direct imports, for better extensibility and customisability. - Added the ability to specify a custom class loader through the ``OSCAR_DYNAMIC_CLASS_LOADER`` setting. - Customer transaction emails were reworked to use Mailgun templates, so that they have a more modern appearance. - ``SearchHandler.get_search_form`` method now accepts additional keyword arguments, which will be passed on search form class instance. - Added ``get_stock_info`` hook to ``oscar.apps.basket.models.Basket`` for implementing strategies that depend on product options. - Fixed the page create/update views in the dashboard to correctly validate URLs. Invalid characters in URLs will raise a validation error, as will URLs longer than 100 characters. - The default shipping method ( ``oscar.apps.basket.views.BasketView.get_default_shipping_address``) on the basket summary page now uses the user's default shipping address to calculate an indicative shipping cost. - Fixed ``ExtendedURLValidator`` for locale-prefixed URLs for locales, different from current (see :issue:`1481`). Previously, validation did not pass when if the current locale was ``en-gb`` and, the a visited URL was ``/de/catalogue/`` and visa versa due to Django's default behaviour. - Product attribute value save is now handled by separate methods, to make it easier to override this behaviour. - Address hash generation is now separated from the summary in order to preserve same behaviour when summary property customised (see :issue:`1537`). They can use different field names, listed out in `base_fields` and `hash_fields` respectively. Also hash generation now became platform-independent and generates the same for Python 2 and 3. Corresponding data migration will update hashes automatically. Take it into account that it will take time to run if you have large user base. - Compact basket form is no longer displayed for the products with options on product list pages since it caused form elements to impose inside the product box (see :issues:`1976`). - Added ``has_options`` property to the ``oscar.apps.catalogue.models.Product`` model to indicate whether an instance or its product class has product options. - ``oscar.core.validators.validate_password`` was removed. Use ``django.contrib.auth.password_validation.validate_password`` instead. - ``oscar.core.validators.CommonPasswordValidator`` was removed. Use ``django.contrib.auth.password_validation.CommonPasswordValidator`` instead. - User notifications are marked as read only when viewed in detail, instead of being marked as read in bulk when the notification list was viewed. - Oscar's ``ImageInput``, ``TimePickerInput``, ``DatePickerInput`` and ``DateTimePickerInput`` all use templates for rendering. - It is now possible to manage images for variant products and their parents. - For variant products we now display their own images on product detail page and fallback to parent product images if they don't have any. - Basket line form quantity field now has "max" attribute with the maximum allowed quantity in it based on product availability and basket threshold (see :issue:`1412`). - An unused setting ``OSCAR_SETTINGS`` was removed from ``oscar.core.defaults``. - Fixed ``PhoneNumberMixin``s handling of empty phone number fields in forms. .. _incompatible_in_1.6: Backwards incompatible changes in Oscar 1.6 ------------------------------------------- - Fixed a regression introduced in Oscar 1.5 (see :issue:`2664`) where ``StockRequired.availability_policy`` was dependent on the product having a price. Price and availability are now decoupled, and it is possible to defer determination of a price until a product is added to the basket. - ``oscar.apps.customer.auth_backends.EmailBackend`` now rejects inactive users (where ``User.is_active`` is ``False``). - ``EmailBackend`` no longer enforces its own password strength validation, and relies instead on the ``AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS`` setting used by Django. - ``oscar.apps.basket.middleware.BasketMiddleware`` was rewritten as new-style middleware for Django 1.11. - ``oscar.apps.offer.models.ConditionalOffer`` now has a new flag ``exclusive`` to denote that the offer involved can not be combined on the same item on the same basket line with another offer. This flag is used by ``oscar.apps.basket.utils.LineOfferConsumer``, a facade that supersedes the old ``oscar.apps.basket.models.Line._affected_items`` counter, and replaces it with a more fine-grained approach. This makes it possible to apply two distinct non-exclusive offers on the same line items, for example multiple distinct vouchers. A couple of methods on the ``Line`` model have been extended with an optional ``offer`` argument, i.e. ``discount`` and ``consume``, so if you are using a customised ``Line`` model, you have to update your methods' signatures. - Invalid URL names supplied to the ``OSCAR_DASHBOARD_NAVIGATION`` setting are now logged as an exception (previously they were silently ignored). The offending menu item will be skipped during menu rendering. In Oscar 1.8 the exception will be raised without being intercepted. - All signals are now loaded directly rather than using dynamic imports. - Stock manipulation (allocation/consumption/cancellation) now only happens if the ``track_stock`` property of the product's class is set to true. - ``oscar.forms.widgets.RemoteSelect`` was updated to work with version 4 of select2. Instead of rendering a hidden input it now renders a normal ``select`` element. - The :py:mod:`django-extra-views` dependency was upgraded to version 0.11, and the basket views that rely on ``extra_views.ModelFormSetView`` updated to use the new factory_kwargs attribute. - jQuery UI was removed from Oscar's static files. Projects that require it should install it at the project level. - Compatibility for Internet Explorer version 9 an lower was dropped from Oscar's templates and styles. - The Google Analytics tracking code provided by Oscar now uses ``gtag.js`` API instead of the deprecated ``analytics.js``. Analytics are also disabled by default in Oscar's dashboard. Dependency changes ------------------ - Upgraded ``jquery`` to version 3.3.1. - Upgraded ``bootstrap`` to version 3.3.7. - Upgraded ``bootstrap-datetimepicker`` to v2.4.4. - Upgraded ``jquery-mousewheel`` to v3.1.13. - Upgraded ``inputmask`` to v3.2.7. - Upgraded ``jquery-sortable`` to v0.9.13. - Upgraded ``select2`` to v4.0.5. .. _deprecated_features_in_1.6: Deprecated features ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following features have been deprecated in this release: - ``StockRecord.price_excl_tax`` will be renamed into ``StockRecord.price`` in Oscar 2.0. Please see :issue:`1962` for more details. - The ``StockRecord.price_retail`` and ``StockRecord.cost_price`` fields are deprecated and will be removed in Oscar 2.0. - The ``order.Line.est_dispatch_date``, ``order.Line.line_price_incl_tax``, ``order.Line.unit_retail_price``, ``order.Line.unit_cost_price`` and ``order.Line.line_price_excl_tax`` fields are deprecated and will be removed in Oscar 2.0. - ``oscar.views.decorators.staff_member_required`` is deprecated. Use ``oscar.views.decorators.permissions_required(['is_staff'])`` instead. - Support for Django 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10 has been dropped in line with the Django project recommendation for third party apps.
