This upgrade spans multiple minor versions and introduces several breaking changes and new requirements. Developers must verify their environment and code against these changes.

Key Changes & Risks:

• Python & Django Version Requirements:

  • v3.16+ requires Python 3.9+ and Django 4.2+.
  • v3.15.2+ requires Django >= 4.2 and drops support for Python 3.6 and 3.7.
  • v3.14 dropped support for Django 2.2.
  • v3.13 added support for Django 4.0.

• Code & API Changes:

  • v3.17: Support for coreapi is completely removed.
  • v3.14: serializers.NullBooleanField is removed. Use serializers.BooleanField(allow_null=True) instead.
  • v3.14: The raise_exception argument for is_valid() is now keyword-only (is_valid(raise_exception=True)).
  • v3.13: Arguments for serializer fields are now strictly keyword-only (e.g., serializers.CharField(max_length=100)).

• Behavioral Changes:

  • v3.15: The dependency on pytz is removed in favor of ZoneInfo. This may affect timezone-aware datetime handling.
  • v3.14: The logic for OR operations between permission classes has changed.

Recommendation:

1. Ensure your project is running on Python 3.9+ and Django 4.2+ before upgrading.
2. Review code for usage of removed or modified APIs, such as coreapi, NullBooleanField, and positional arguments in serializer fields.
3. Run tests with deprecation warnings enabled (python -Wd manage.py test) to identify required changes.
