This exposed an incompatibility between +the default :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` and :setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` in the +global defaults (``django.conf.global_settings``). To bring these settings in +sync and prevent deprecation warnings when doing things like testing reusable +apps with minimal settings, +:class:`~django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware`, +:class:`~django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware`, and +:class:`~django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware` were removed +from the defaults. These classes will still be included in the default settings +generated by :djadmin:`startproject`. Most projects will not be affected by +this change but if you were not previously declaring the +:setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` in your project settings and relying on the +global default you should ensure that the new defaults are in line with your +project's needs. You should also check for any code that accesses +``django.conf.global_settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`` directly. + Miscellaneous ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
