  2. Oscar 1.0 release notes
  3. =======================
  4. :release: 2014-11-07
  5. Welcome to Oscar 1.0! It's been 7 months and some 800 commits since 0.7 and
  6. lots of work has gone into 1.0. This release makes quite a few changes,
  7. especially around supporting Django 1.7 with its app refactor and new migrations
  8. support.
  9. Also, `as you might have seen`_, the repositories for Oscar and most of its
  10. extensions have moved to a new `Github organisation`_. This marks a change for
  11. Oscar from being a Tangent-sponsored project to a more community-driven one,
  12. similar to Django itself. The core team is growing too to accommodate new
  13. contributors from outside Tangent. This is an exciting change and we're hopeful
  14. that Oscar can continue to grow and prosper. To mark this departure, this
  15. release has been renamed from 0.8 (under which we released three beta versions)
  16. to 1.0.

  24. Compatibility
  25. -------------
  26. This release adds support for Django 1.7. Per our policy of always supporting
  27. two versions of Django, support for Django 1.5 has been dropped.
  28. This release also adds full Python 3.3 and 3.4 support. But due to South
  29. not supporting Python 3, Python 3 support is only supported in combination
  30. with Django 1.7 and its new migration framework.
  31. If you're using ``pysolr`` for search, you'll need to upgrade to version 3.2 or
  32. later.
  33. .. _new_in_1.0:
  34. What's new in Oscar 1.0?
  35. ------------------------
  36. Explicit differentiation of child, parent and stand-alone products
  37. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  38. In some edge cases, it was difficult to determine the 'type' of a product. For
  39. example, whether a product is a parent (or "group") product without children or
  40. stand-alone product (which never has children). To make that distinction
  41. easier, a ``structure`` field has been introduced on the ``AbstractProduct``
  42. class. In that process, naming for the three different product structures
  43. has been altered to be:
  44. *stand-alone product*
  45. A regular product (like a book)
  46. *parent product*
  47. A product that represents a set of *child* products (eg a T-shirt, where the set is
  48. the various color and size permutations). These were previously referred to
  49. as "group" products.
  50. *child product*
  51. All child products have a parent product. They're a specific version of the
  52. parent. Previously known as product variant.
  53. Some properties and method names have also been updated to the new naming. The
  54. old ones will throw a deprecation warning.
  55. Better handling of child products in product dashboard
  56. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  57. Together with the changes above, the dashboard experience for child products
  58. has been improved. The difference between a parent product and a stand-alone
  59. product is hidden from the user; a user can now add and remove child products
  60. on any suitable product. When the first child product is added, a stand-alone
  61. product becomes a parent product; and vice versa.
  62. In the front-end, the old name of "product variants" has been kept.
  63. Customisation just got easier!
  64. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  65. * Oscar's views are now dynamically imported. This means that they can be
  66. overridden like most other classes in Oscar; overriding the related
  67. Application instance is not necessary any more which simplifies the process of
  68. replacing or customising a view.
  69. * A new management command, ``oscar_fork_app``, has been introduced to make it
  70. easy to fork an Oscar app in order to override one of its classes.
  71. The documentation around :doc:`/topics/customisation` has been given an
  72. overhaul to incorporate the changes.
  73. Django 1.7 support
  74. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  75. Oscar 1.0 comes with support for Django 1.7 out of the box. The app refactor
  76. and the new migration framework are both great improvements to Django. Oscar
  77. now ships with sets of migrations both for South and the new native
  78. migrations framework.
  79. Unfortunately, the changes in Django required a few breaking changes when
  80. upgrading Oscar both for users staying on Django 1.6 and for users upgrading to
  81. Django 1.7 at the same time. These are detailed in the section for
  82. backwards-incompatible changes.
  83. The changes in Django 1.7 meant quite a bit of effort to support both versions
  84. of Django, so it's very probable that Django 1.6 support will be removed in
  85. the next release of Oscar. Django 1.7 has notable improvements, so with that
  86. in mind, we can only recommend upgrading now.
  87. Billing addresses explicitly passed around checkout
  88. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  89. The ``build_submission`` method used in checkout now has a ``billing_address``
  90. key and the signatures for the ``submit`` and ``handle_order_placement`` methods
  91. have been extended to include it as a keyword argument. While this change should
  92. be backwards compatible, it's worth being aware of the method signature changes
  93. in case it affects your checkout implementation.
  94. Dashboard for weight-based shipping methods
  95. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  96. There is a new dashboard for weight-based shipping methods. It isn't enabled by
  97. default as weight-based shipping methods are themselves not enabled by default.
  98. To add it to the dashboard menu, include this snippet in your
  99. ``OSCAR_DASHBOARD_NAVIGATION`` setting:
  100. .. code-block:: python
  101. OSCAR_DASHBOARD_NAVIGATION = [
  102. ...
  103. {
  104. 'label': _('Shipping charges'),
  105. 'url_name': 'dashboard:shipping-method-list',
  106. },
  107. ...
  108. ]
  109. You'll also need to modify your shipping repository class to return weight-based
  110. shipping methods.
  111. US demo site
  112. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
  113. To help developers building sites for the US, a new example Oscar site has been
  114. included in the repo. This customises core Oscar to treat all prices as
  115. excluding tax and then calculate and apply taxes once the shipping address is
  116. known.
  117. See :ref:`us_site` for more information.
  118. Faceting for category browsing
  119. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  120. If Oscar is running with a Solr-powered search backend, the category browsing
  121. now shows facets (e.g. filter by price range, or product type). This is
  122. implemented via a new ``SearchHandler`` interface, which will eventually replace
  123. the tight coupling between Haystack and Oscar. It therefore paves the way for
  124. better support for other search engines.
  125. Reworked shipping app
  126. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  127. Several parts of the shipping app have been altered. The most important change
  128. is a change to the API of shipping methods to avoid a potential thread safety
  129. issue. Any existing Oscar sites with custom shipping methods will need to
  130. adjust them to confirm to the new API. The new API and the other changes are
  131. detailed below.
  132. See the
  133. :ref:`backwards incompatible changes <incompatible_shipping_changes_in_1.0>`
  134. for the shipping app and the
  135. :doc:`guide to configuring shipping </howto/how_to_configure_shipping>`
  136. for more information.
  137. Basket additions clean-up
  138. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  139. The forms and views around adding things to your basket have been vigorously
  140. reworked. This cleans up some very old code there and ensures variant products
  141. are handled in a consistent way.
  142. The changes do require changing the constructor signature of the
  143. ``AddToBasketForm`` - the details are documented in the
  144. :ref:`basket_app_changes`.
  145. Checkout improvements
  146. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  147. The checkout process now skips payment if the order total is zero (e.g. when
  148. ordering free products or using a voucher). As part of that, checkout views
  149. now evaluate *pre-conditions* (as before) and newly introduced
  150. *skip conditions*. This should make customising the checkout flow easier.
  151. Out with the old, in with the new
  152. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  153. Lots of methods deprecated in the 0.6 release have now been removed.
  154. Specifically, the partner "wrapper" functionality is now gone. All price and
  155. availability logic now needs to be handled with strategies.
  156. .. _minor_changes_in_1.0:
  157. Minor changes
  158. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  159. * The ``OSCAR_CURRENCY_LOCALE`` setting has been removed. The locale is now
  160. automatically determined from the current language. This ensures prices are
  161. always shown in the correct format when switching languages.
  162. * The login and registration view now redirects staff users to the dashboard
  163. after logging in. It also employs flash messages to welcome returning and
  164. newly registered users.
  165. * The basket middleware now assigns a ``basket_hash`` attribute to the
  166. ``request`` instance. This provides a hook for basket caching.
  167. * The tracking pixel now also reports the Oscar version in use. This was
  168. forgotten when adding tracking of the Python and Django version in 0.7.
  169. Total information collected now is the versions of Django, Python and Oscar.
  170. * The tracking pixel is now served by a server run by the new Oscar
  171. organisation, rather than by Tangent.
  172. * The ``OSCAR_SLUG_FUNCTION`` now accepts both string notation and a callable.
  173. * The default templates now allow the order status to be changed on the
  174. dashboard order detail page.
  175. * The forms for the order dashboard views are now loaded dynamically so they
  176. can be overridden.
  177. * An ``OSCAR_DELETE_IMAGE_FILES`` setting has been introduced which makes deleting
  178. image files and thumbnails after deleting a model with an ``ImageField``
  179. optional. It usually is desired behaviour, but can slow down an app when
  180. using a remote storage.
  181. * Oscar now ships with a ``oscar_populate_countries`` management command to
  182. populate the country databases. It replaces the ``countries.json`` fixture.
  183. The command relies on the ``pycountry`` library being installed.
  184. * It is now possible to use product attributes to add a relation to arbitrary
  185. model instances. There was some (presumably broken) support for it before,
  186. but you should now be able to use product attributes of type ``entity`` as
  187. expected. There's currently no frontend or dashboard support for it, as there
  188. is no good default behaviour.
  189. * Payment extensions can now raise a ``UserCancelled`` payment exception to
  190. differentiate between the intended user action and any other errors.
  191. * Oscar has a new dependency, django-tables2_. It's a handy library that helps
  192. when displaying tabular data, allowing sorting, etc. It also makes it easier
  193. to adapt e.g. the product list view in the dashboard to additional fields.
  194. * ``jquery-ui-datepicker`` has been replaced in the dashboard by
  195. bootstrap-datetimepicker_. We still ship with ``jquery-ui-datepicker`` and
  196. ``JQuery UI`` as it's in use in the frontend.
  197. * ... and dozens of bugs fixed!
  198. .. _django-tables2: http://django-tables2.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

  200. .. _incompatible_changes_in_1.0:
  201. Backwards incompatible changes in 1.0
  202. -------------------------------------
  203. .. _product_structure_changes_in_1.0:
  204. Product structure
  205. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  206. Generally, backwards compatibility has been preserved. Be aware of the following
  207. points though:
  208. * You now need to explicitly set product structure when creating a product;
  209. the default is a stand-alone product.
  210. * The ``related_name`` for child products was altered from ``variants`` to
  211. ``children``. A ``variants`` property has been provided (and will throw a
  212. deprecation warning), but if you used the old related name in a query lookup
  213. (e.g. ``products.filter(variants__title='foo')``, you will have to change it
  214. to ``children``.
  215. * Template blocks and CSS classes have been renamed.
  216. The following methods and properties have been deprecated:
  217. * ``Product.is_parent`` - Use ``is_group`` instead.
  218. * ``Product.is_variant`` - Use ``is_child`` instead.
  219. * ``Product.is_top_level`` - Test for ``is_standalone`` and/or ``is_parent`` instead.
  220. * ``Strategy.fetch_for_group`` - Use ``fetch_for_parent`` instead.
  221. * ``Strategy.group_[pricing|availability]_policy`` - Use
  222. ``parent_[pricing|availability]_policy`` instead.
  223. * ``Strategy.select_variant_stockrecords`` - Use
  224. ``select_children_stockrecords`` instead.
  225. Furthermore, CSS classes and template blocks have been updated. Please follow
  226. the following renaming pattern:
  227. * ``variant-product`` becomes ``child-product``
  228. * ``product_variants`` becomes ``child_products``
  229. * ``variants`` becomes ``children``
  230. * ``variant`` becomes ``child``
  231. Product editing
  232. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  233. The dashboard improvements for child products meant slight changes to both
  234. ``ProductCreateUpdateView`` and ``ProductForm``. Notably ``ProductForm`` now
  235. gets a ``parent`` kwarg. Please review your customisations for compatibility
  236. with the updated code.
  237. .. _incompatible_shipping_changes_in_1.0:
  238. Shipping
  239. ~~~~~~~~
  240. The shipping method API has been altered to avoid potential thread-safety
  241. issues. Prior to v1.0, shipping methods had a ``set_basket`` method which
  242. allowed a basket instance to be assigned. This was really a crutch to allow
  243. templates to have easy access to shipping charges (as they could be read
  244. straight off the shipping method instance). However, it was also a
  245. design problem as shipping methods could be instantiated at compile-time
  246. leading to a thread safety issue where multiple threads could assign a basket
  247. to the same shipping method instance.
  248. In Oscar 1.0, shipping methods are stateless services that have a method
  249. :func:`~oscar.apps.shipping.methods.Base.calculate` that takes a basket and
  250. returns a ``Price`` instance. New :doc:`template tags </ref/templatetags/>` are
  251. provided that allow these shipping charges to be accessed from templates.
  252. This API change does require quite a few changes as both the shipping method
  253. and shipping charge now need to be passed around separately:
  254. * Shipping methods no longer have ``charge_excl_tax``,
  255. ``charge_incl_tax`` and ``is_tax_known`` properties.
  256. * The :class:`~oscar.apps.order.utils.OrderCreator` class now requires the
  257. ``shipping_charge`` to be passed to ``place_order``.
  258. * The signature of the :class:`~oscar.apps.checkout.calculators.OrderTotalCalculator`
  259. class has changed to accept ``shipping_charge`` rather than a
  260. ``shipping_method`` instance.
  261. * The signature of the
  262. :func:`~oscar.apps.checkout.session.CheckoutSessionMixin.get_order_totals`
  263. method has changed to accept the ``shipping_charge`` rather than a
  264. ``shipping_method`` instance.
  265. Another key change is in the shipping repository object. The
  266. ``get_shipping_methods`` method has been split in two to simplify the exercise
  267. of providing new shipping methods. The best practice for Oscar 1.0 is to
  268. override the ``methods`` attribute if the same set of shipping methods is
  269. available to everyone:
  270. .. code-block:: python
  271. from oscar.apps.shipping import repository, methods
  272. class Standard(methods.FixedPrice):
  273. code = "standard"
  274. name = "Standard"
  275. charge_excl_tax = D('10.00')
  276. class Express(methods.FixedPrice):
  277. code = "express"
  278. name = "Express"
  279. charge_excl_tax = D('20.00')
  280. class Repository(repository.Repository):
  281. methods = [Standard(), Express()]
  282. or to override ``get_available_shipping_methods`` if the available shipping
  283. methods if only available conditionally:
  284. .. code-block:: python
  285. from oscar.apps.shipping import repository
  286. class Repository(repository.Repository):
  287. def get_available_shipping_methods(
  288. self, basket, shipping_addr=None, **kwargs):
  289. methods = [Standard()]
  290. if shipping_addr.country.code == 'US':
  291. # Express only available in the US
  292. methods.append(Express())
  293. return methods
  294. Note that shipping address should be passed around as instances not classes.
  295. Email address handling
  296. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  297. In theory, the local part of an email is case-sensitive. In practice, many
  298. users don't know about this and most email servers don't consider the
  299. capitalisation. Because of this, Oscar now disregards capitalisation when
  300. looking up emails (e.g. when a user logs in).
  301. Storing behaviour is unaltered: When a user's email address is stored (e.g.
  302. when registering or checking out), the local part is unaltered and
  303. the host portion is lowercased.
  304. .. warning::
  305. Those changes mean you might now have multiple users with email addresses
  306. that Oscar considers identical. Please use the new
  307. ``oscar_find_duplicate_emails`` management command to check your database
  308. and deal with any conflicts accordingly.
  309. Django 1.7 support
  310. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  311. If you have any plans to upgrade to Django 1.7, more changes beyond
  312. addressing migrations are necessary:
  313. * You should be aware that Django 1.7 now enforces uniqueness of app labels.
  314. Oscar dashboard apps now ship with app configs that set their app label
  315. to ``{oldname}_dashboard``.
  316. * If you have forked any Oscar apps, you must add app configs to them, and
  317. have them inherit from the Oscar one. See the appropriate section in
  318. :doc:`/topics/fork_app` for an example.
  319. * Double-check that you address migrations as detailed below.
  320. * Django now enforces that no calls happen to the model registry during
  321. app startup. This mostly means that you should avoid module-level calls to
  322. ``get_model``, as that only works with a fully initialised model registry.
  323. Basket line stockrecords
  324. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  325. The basket line model got a reference to the stockrecord in Oscar 0.6. The
  326. basket middleware since then updated basket lines to have stockrecords if
  327. one was missing. If any lines are still missing a stockrecord, we'd expect them
  328. to be from from submitted baskets or from old, abandoned baskets.
  329. This updating of basket lines has been removed for 1.0 as it incurs additional
  330. database queries. Oscar 1.0 now also enforces the stockrecord by making it
  331. the ``stockrecord`` field of basket ``Line`` model no longer nullable.
  332. There is a migration that makes the appropriate schema change but, before that
  333. runs, you may need to clean up your ``basket_line`` table to ensure that all
  334. existing null values are replaced or removed.
  335. Here's a simple script you could run before upgrading which should ensure there
  336. are no nulls in your ``basket_line`` table:
  337. .. code-block:: python
  338. from oscar.apps.basket import models
  339. from oscar.apps.partner.strategy import Selector
  340. strategy = Selector().strategy()
  341. lines = models.Line.objects.filter(stockrecord__isnull=True):
  342. for line in lines:
  343. info = strategy.fetch_for_product(line.product)
  344. if line.stockrecord:
  345. line.stockrecord = info.stockrecord
  346. line.save()
  347. else:
  348. line.delete()
  349. * The ``reload_page_response`` method of
  350. :class:`~oscar.apps.dashboard.orders.views.OrderDetailView`
  351. has been renamed to ``reload_page``.
  352. .. _basket_app_changes:
  353. Basket app changes
  354. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  355. - The ``basket:add`` URL now required the primary key of the "base" product to
  356. be included. This allows the same form to be used for both GET and POST
  357. requests for variant products.
  358. - The ``ProductSelectionForm`` is no longer used and has been removed.
  359. - The constructor of the :class:`~oscar.apps.basket.forms.AddToBasketForm` has
  360. been adjusted to take the basket and the purchase info tuple as parameters
  361. instead of the request instance (c74f57bf_ and 8ba283e8_).
  362. .. _c74f57bf: https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar/commit/c74f57bf434661877f4d2d2259e7e7eb18b34951#diff-d200ac8746274e0307f512af886e1f3eR148
  363. .. _8ba283e8: https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar/commit/8ba283e8c4239e4eff95da5e8097a17ecfadf5f5
  364. Misc
  365. ~~~~
  366. * The ``oscar_calculate_scores`` command has been `rewritten`_ to use the ORM
  367. instead of raw SQL. That exposed a bug in the previous calculations,
  368. where purchases got weighed less than any other event. When you upgrade,
  369. your total scores will be change. If you rely on the old behaviour,
  370. just extend the ``Calculator`` class and adjust the weights.
  371. * ``Order.order_number`` now has ``unique=True`` set. If order numbers are
  372. not unique in your database, you need to remedy that before migrating. By
  373. default, Oscar creates unique order numbers.
  374. * ``Product.score`` was just duplicating ``ProductRecord.score`` and has been
  375. removed. Use ``Product.stats.score`` instead.
  376. * Oscar has child products to model tightly coupled products, and
  377. ``Product.recommended_products`` to model products that are loosely related
  378. (e.g. used for upselling). ``Product.related_products`` was a
  379. third option that sat somewhere in between, and which was not well supported.
  380. We fear it adds confusion, and in the spirit of keeping Oscar core lean,
  381. has been removed. If you're using it, switch to
  382. ``Product.recommended_products`` or just add the field back to your
  383. custom Product instance and ``ProductForm`` when migrating.
  384. * The ``basket_form`` template tag code has been greatly simplified. Because of
  385. that, the syntax needed to change slightly.
  386. Before: ``{% basket_form request product as basket_form single %}``
  387. After: ``{% basket_form request product 'single' as basket_form %}``
  388. * Product attribute validation has been cleaned up. As part of that, the
  389. trivial ``ProductAttribute.get_validator`` and the unused
  390. ``ProductAttribute.is_value_valid`` methods have been removed.
  391. * The ``RangeProductFileUpload`` model has been moved from the ranges
  392. dashboard app to the offers app. The migrations that have been naively
  393. drop and re-create the model; any data is lost! This is probably not an
  394. issue, as the model is only used while an range upload is in progress. If
  395. you need to keep the data, ensure you migrate it across.
  396. * ``oscar.core.loading.get_model`` now raises a ``LookupError`` instead of an
  397. ``ImportError`` if a model can't be found. That brings it more in line with
  398. what Django does since the app refactor.
  399. * ``CommunicationEventType.category`` was storing a localised string, which
  400. breaks when switching locale. It now uses ``choices`` to map between the
  401. value and a localised string. Unfortunately, if you're using this feature
  402. and not running an English locale, you will need to migrate the existing
  403. data to the English values.
  404. * Support for the ``OSCAR_OFFER_BLACKLIST_PRODUCT`` setting has been removed.
  405. It was only partially supported: it prevented products from being
  406. added to a range, but offers could be applied to the products nonetheless.
  407. To prevent an offer being applied to a product, use ``is_discountable`` or
  408. override ``get_is_discountable`` on your product instances.
  409. * ``Category.get_ancestors`` used to return a list of ancestors and would
  410. default to include itself. For consistency with get_descendants and to avoid
  411. having to slice the results in templates, it now returns a queryset of the
  412. ancestors; use ``Category.get_ancestors_and_self`` for the old behaviour.
  413. * Weight based shipping methods used to have an ``upper_charge`` field which was
  414. returned if no weight band matched. That doesn't work very well in practice,
  415. and has been removed. Instead, charges from bands are now added together to
  416. match the weight of the basket.
  417. * The :class:`~oscar.apps.order.utils.OrderCreator` class no longer defaults to
  418. free shipping: a shipping method and charge have to be explicitly passed in.
  419. * The ``Base`` shipping method class now lives in ``oscar.apps.shipping.methods``.
  420. * The ``find_by_code`` method of the shipping ``Repository`` class has been
  421. removed as it is no longer used.
  422. * The parameters for
  423. :func:`oscar.apps.shipping.repository.Repository.get_shipping_methods`
  424. have been re-ordered to reflect which are the most important.
  425. * The legacy ``ShippingMethod`` name of the interface of the shipping app has
  426. been removed. Inherit from ``shipping.base.Base`` for the class instead, and
  427. inherit from ``shipping.abstract_models.AbstractBase`` for model-based
  428. shipping methods.
  429. * ``oscar.apps.shipping.Scales`` has been renamed and moved to
  430. ``oscar.apps.shipping.scales.Scale``, and is now overridable.
  431. * The models of the shipping app now have abstract base classes, similar to
  432. the rest of Oscar.
  433. * The legacy ``ShippingMethod`` name of the interface of the shipping app has
  434. been removed. Inherit from ``shipping.base.Base`` for the class instead, and
  435. inherit from ``shipping.abstract_models.AbstractBase`` for model-based
  436. shipping methods.
  437. * Oscar's ``models.py`` files now define ``__all__``, and it's dynamically
  438. set to only expose unregistered models (which should be what you want) to
  439. the namespace. This is important to keep the namespace clean while doing
  440. star imports like ``from oscar.apps.catalogue.models import *``. You will
  441. have to check your imports to ensure you're not accidentally relying on
  442. e.g. a ``datetime`` import that's pulled in via the star import. Any such
  443. import errors will cause a loud failure and should be easy to spot and fix.

  445. Migrations
  446. ~~~~~~~~~~
  447. * South is no longer a dependency. This means it won't get installed
  448. automatically when you install Oscar. If you are on Django 1.6 and want to
  449. use South, you will need to explicitly install it and add it to your
  450. requirements.
  451. * Only South >= 1.0 is supported: South 1.0 is a backwards compatible release
  452. explicitly released to help with the upgrade path to Django 1.7. Please make
  453. sure you update accordingly if you intend to keep using South. Older versions
  454. of South will look in the wrong directories and will break with this Oscar
  455. release.
  456. * Rename your South ``migrations`` directories. To avoid
  457. clashes between Django's and South's migrations, you should rename
  458. all your South migrations directories (including those of forked Oscar apps)
  459. to ``south_migrations``. South 1.0 will check those first before falling back
  460. to ``migrations``.
  461. * If you're upgrading to Django 1.7, you
  462. will need to follow the `instructions to upgrade from South`_ for your own
  463. apps. For any forked Oscar apps, you will need to copy Oscar's initial
  464. migrations into your emptied ``migrations`` directory first, because Oscar's
  465. set of migrations depend on each other. You can then create migrations for
  466. your changes by calling ``./manage.py makemigrations``. Django should
  467. detect that the database layout already matches the state of migrations; so
  468. a call to ``migrate`` should fake the migrations.
  469. .. _instructions to upgrade from South: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/migrations/#upgrading-from-south
  470. .. warning::
  471. The catalogue app has a data migration to determine the product structure.
  472. Please double-check it's outcome and make sure to do something similar
  473. if you have forked the catalogue app.
  474. .. note::
  475. The migration numbers below refer to the numbers of the South migrations.
  476. Oscar 1.0 ships with a set of new initial migrations for Django's new
  477. native migrations framework. They include all the changes detailed below.
  478. .. note::
  479. Be sure to read the detailed instructions for
  480. :doc:`handling migrations </topics/upgrading>`.
  481. * Address:

  503. * Ranges dashboard:
  504. - ``0003`` - Drop ``RangeProductFileUpload`` from ``ranges`` app. This is
  505. a destructive change!
