django-allauth 0.3.0 released

Posted by Raymond Penners on 2012-01-19

Note worthy changes

  • The email authentication backend now attempts to use the 'username' parameter as an email address. This is needed to properly integrate with other apps invoking authenticate.
  • SmileyChris contributed support for automatically generating a user name at signup when ACCOUNT_USERNAME_REQUIRED is set to False.
  • Vuong Nguyen contributed support for (optionally) asking for the password just once during signup (ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_PASSWORD_VERIFICATION).
  • The Twitter oauth sequence now respects the "oauth_callback" parameter instead of defaulting to the callback URL configured at Twitter.
  • Pass along ?next= parameter between login and signup views.
  • Added Dutch translation.
  • Added template tags for pointing to social login URLs. These tags automatically pass along any ?next= parameter. Additionally, added an overall allauth_tags that gracefully degrades when e.g. allauth.facebook is not installed.
  • Pass along next URL, if any, at /accounts/social/signup/.
  • Duplicate email address handling could throw a MultipleObjectsReturned exception, fixed.
  • Removed separate social account login view, in favour of having a single unified login view including both forms of login.
  • Added support for passing along a next URL parameter to Facebook, OpenID logins.
  • Added support for django-avatar, copying the Twitter profile image locally on signup.
  • allauth/account/forms.py (BaseSignupForm.clean_email): With ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED=False, empty email addresses were considered duplicates. Fixed.
  • The existing migrations for allauth.openid were not compatible with MySQL due to the use of an URLField with max_length above 255. The issue has now been addressed but unfortunately at the cost of the existing migrations for this app. Existing installations will have to be dealt with manually (altering the "identity" column of OpenIDAccount, deleting ghost migrations).
