Changes in 1.6.5 (2016-07-11)¶

Fix get_translated_url() when Django uses bytestrings for QUERY_STRING.
Raise ValidError when a TranslatableForm is initialized with a language code that is not available in LANGUAGES.

Backwards compatibility note: An ValueError is now raised when forms are initialized with an invalid languae code. If your project relied on invalid language settings, make sure that LANGAUGE_CODE and LANGUAGES are properly configured.

Rationale: Since the security fix in v1.6.3 (to call the clean() method of translated fields), invalid language codes are no longer accepted. The choice was either to passively warn and exclude the language from validation checks, or to raise an error beforehand that the form is used to initialize bad data. It’s considered more important to avoid polluted database contents then preserving compatibility, hence this check remains as strict.

Changes in 1.6.4 (2016-06-14)¶

Fix calling clean() on fields that are not part of the form.
Fix tab appearance for Django 1.9 and flat theme.
Fix issues with __proxy__ field for template names
Fix attempting to save invalid None language when Django translations are not yet initialized.

Note: django-parler models now mandate that a language code is selected; either by calling model.set_current_language(), Model.objects.language() or activating a gettext environment. The latter always happens in a standard web request, but needs to happen explicitly in management commands. This avoids hard to debug situations where unwanted model changes happen on implicitly selected languages.

Changes in 1.6.3 (2016-05-05)¶

Security notice: Fixed calling clean() on the translations model.
Fixed error with M2M relations to the translated model.
Fixed UnicodeError in parler_tags
