There are minor backward compatibility breaks due to the
reorganization of form classes. The best way to upgrade is to
inherit from autocomplete_light.ModelForm.
- autocomplete_light.FixedModelForm was renamed to
autocomplete_light.SelectMultipleHelpTextRemovalMixin and is now
a mixin for ModelForm. Inherit from both that and
django.forms.ModelForm to get the same.
- GenericModelForm was renamed to
GenericM2MRelatedObjectDescriptorHandlingMixin and is now a mixin
for ModelForm. Inherit from both that and django.forms.ModelForm
to get the same.
- get_widgets_dict is gone, because we now favor using form fields
which do validation where it's due: on POST.
- using widgets should still work, but using the new form fields is
better because it enables DRY validation: you don't have to
hardcode the queryset on the form field definition anymore.
To fix those, just inherit from autocomplete_light.ModelForm if
possible, else check the form API details in the source or
generated API documentation:
- https://django-autocomplete-light.readthedocs.io/en/v2/form.html#module-autocomplete_light.forms
New features:
- Added form fields, which are now in charge of validation,
- Added ModelForm which includes all features previously provided as
separated tools (generic m2m support, django issue 9321, etc, etc ...)
and overrides django's form field generator to automatically use
autocomplete fields when possible, even for generic relations.
- Python3 support.
- Tests rely on apps provided in the autocomplete_light.tests.apps
submodule instead of those provided by test_project. This make tests
potentially runnable on a user project (except that the user project
still needs to add those apps in INSTALLED_APPS).
