contrib.auth.views.login() has a new parameter `redirect_authenticated_user`
to automatically redirect authenticated users visiting the login page.
Thanks to dmathieu and Alex Buchanan for the original code and to Carl Meyer
for the help and review.
New Storage.get_{accessed,created,modified}_time() methods convert the
naive time from now-deprecated {accessed,created_modified}_time()
methods into aware objects in UTC if USE_TZ=True.
When running collectstatic with a hashing static file storage backend,
URLs referencing other files were normalized with posixpath.normpath.
This could corrupt URLs: for example 'a.css#b/../c' became just 'c'.
Normalization seems to be an artifact of the historical implementation.
It contained a home-grown implementation of posixpath.join which relied
on counting occurrences of .. and /, so multiple / had to be collapsed.
The new implementation introduced in the previous commit doesn't suffer
from this issue. So it seems safe to remove the normalization.
There was a test for this normalization behavior but I don't think it's
a good test. Django shouldn't modify CSS that way. If a developer has
rendundant /s, it's mostly an aesthetic issue and it isn't Django's job
to fix it. Conversely, if the user wants a series of /s, perhaps in the
URL fragment, Django shouldn't destroy it.
Refs #26249.
collectstatic crashed when:
* a hashing static file storage backend was used
* a static file referenced another static file located directly in
STATIC_ROOT (not a subdirectory) with an absolute URL (which must
start with STATIC_URL, which cannot be empty)
It seems to me that the current code reimplements relative path joining
and doesn't handle edge cases correctly. I suspect it assumes that
STATIC_URL is of the form r'/[^/]+/'.
Throwing out that code in favor of the posixpath module makes the logic
easier to follow. Handling absolute paths correctly also becomes easier.
Also updated topics/auth/customizing.txt to reflect that subclasses of
UserCreationForm and UserChangeForm can be used with custom user models.
Thanks Baptiste Mispelon for the initial documentation.
Made sure the test doesn't try to aggregate over MultiPolygonField and made
AreaField turn decimals into floats on the way from the DB.
Thanks Daniel Wiesmann, Jani Tiainen, and Tim Graham for review and discussion.
