Oscar 0.6.1 release notes¶
This is Oscar 0.6.1. It fixes one potentially serious data loss issue and a few minor bugs.
Possible data loss from deleted users¶
Before this release, the foreign key from the
Order
model to the User
model
did not specify an on_delete
behaviour. The default is for deletes to
cascade to related objects, even if the field is nullable. Hence, deleting a
user would also delete any orders they had placed.
As of 0.6.1, the foreign keys to user, shipping address and billing address on
the Order
model specify on_delete=SET_NULL
to avoid orders being
deleted accidentally.
See Django’s docs for more info on on_delete
options.
Missing translations¶
The 0.6 release failed to include several translations from Transifex due to a problem in the way we updated translation files before release. This release rectifies that and includes the latest translation files.
Known issues¶
Django 1.4 only: The changes in #1127 mean you explicitly need to register a call to
migrate_alerts_to_users
when thepost_save
signal is emitted for aUser
model.
Bug fixes¶
The following bugs were fixed:
#1109 - Workaround for a bug in Bootstrap regarding the collapsing of the navigation bar.
#1121 - Added a confirmation view to removing products from wish lists because one can’t POST to it in all cases.
#1127 required that the
migrate_alerts_to_user
function is now explicitly called in Oscar’s base User class. It previously was wired up as apost_save
signal receiver on the User model, which does not work in Django 1.5+.#1128 - Calls to
Source.debit
without anamount
argument were failing asbalance
was being called as a method instead of a property.#1130 - Variant products were not fetching the product class instance correctly within
is_shipping_required
.#1132 and #1149 - Rich text attributes were not supported. Should be displayed correctly now. Also introduced hooks for adding support for e.g.
file
andimage
types.#1133 - The order detail page for anonymous checkouts failed to render if reviews were disabled.
#1134 - Fixed a bug caused where Unicode characters in child products’ titles were incorrectly handled.
#1138 - Adjust the
OrderAndItemCharges
shipping method to not count lines that don’t require shipping.#1146 - Various templates were adjusted to gracefully handle deleted products.
