What's new in Oscar 2.0?
------------------------

Removal of deprecated features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Support for deprecated product alert email templates was removed The templates
  for these emails have been replaced as follows:

    - ``customer/alerts/emails/confirmation_subject.txt`` is replaced by
      ``customer/emails/commtype_product_alert_confirmation_subject.txt``
    - ``customer/alerts/emails/confirmation_body.txt`` is replaced by
      ``customer/emails/commtype_product_alert_confirmation_body.txt``
    - ``customer/alerts/emails/alert_subject.txt`` is replaced by
      ``customer/emails/commtype_product_alert_subject.txt``
    - ``customer/alerts/emails/alert_body.txt`` is replaced by
      ``customer/emails/commtype_product_alert_body.txt``

  Product alert emails are now sent as Communication Events.

- Support for category URLs without a primary key was removed.

  Enforcement of unique slugs for categories was also removed, as enforcing
  this was inefficient and not threadsafe. Since a primary key is now required
  for category URLs, there is no need for slugs to be unique.

- ``customer.forms.SetPasswordForm`` and ``customer.forms.PasswordChangeForm``
  have been removed. Use ``django.contrib.auth.forms.SetPasswordForm`` and
  ``django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordChangeForm`` instead.

- The ``views.decorators.staff_member_required`` decorator has been removed. Use
  ``permissions_required(['is_staff']`` instead.

- The ``UserAddress.num_orders`` property has been removed. Use
  ``num_orders_as_shipping_address`` and ``num_orders_as_billing_address``
  instead.

- Backward-compatible dynamic loading of formset classes that have moved in Oscar was
  removed. Projects must update their ``get_class`` calls to use the new paths.

  The paths that have changed are as follows:

  ================================  ==================================  ================
  Old path                          New path                            Affected classes

                                                                        ``BaseSavedLineFormSet``

                                                                        ``BaseProductRecommendationFormSet``

                                                                        ``ProductRecommendationFormSet``

                                                                        ``ProductAttributesFormSet``

  ================================  ==================================  ================

Minor changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Dropped ``action=""`` and ``action="."`` attributes, following the lead of Django
  and as per the HTML5 specification.

- Replaced use of Django's procedural auth views with the corresponding
  class-based views.

- ``OrderPlacementMixin.get_message_context()`` is now passed a ``code`` argument
  specifying the communication event type code for a message being sent.

- We've dropped the dependency on Unidecode due to license incompatibilities,
  ``oscar.core.utils.default_slugifier`` now uses ``oscar.core.utils.cautious_slugify``
  to handle unicode characters in slugs when ``OSCAR_SLUG_ALLOW_UNICODE`` is ``False``.

- ``OSCAR_SLUG_FUNCTION`` previously accepted a function as its value. It now
  only accepts a dotted path to a function as its value. Such functions must
  also now take a ``allow_unicode`` kwarg.
  
- Fixed input validation for ``dashboard.offers.forms.BenefitForm`` when a ``range`` 
  was specified but other fields were empty.
