The section on manual testing, including how to use a local checkout of Django, is moved from the contribution intro to the submitting patches docs. This makes it easier for reviewers and authors to follow best practices.
2025-07-25Fixed #35581 -- Updated django.core.mail to Python's modern email API.Mike Edmunds
- Changed EmailMessage.message() to construct a "modern email API" email.message.EmailMessage and added policy keyword arg. - Added support for modern MIMEPart objects in EmailMessage.attach() (and EmailMessage constructor, EmailMessage.attachments list). - Updated SMTP EmailBackend to use modern email.policy.SMTP. Deprecated: - Attaching MIMEBase objects (replace with MIMEPart) - BadHeaderError (modern email uses ValueError) - SafeMIMEText, SafeMIMEMultipart (unnecessary for modern email) - django.core.mail.forbid_multi_line_headers() (undocumented, but exposed via `__all__` and in wide use) - django.core.mail.message.sanitize_address() (undocumented, but in wide use) Removed without deprecation (all undocumented): - EmailMessage.mixed_subtype - EmailMultiAlternatives.alternative_subtype - Support for setting (undocumented) EmailMessage.encoding property to a legacy email.charset.Charset object Related changes: - Dropped tests for incorrect RFC 2047 encoding of non-ASCII email address localparts. This is specifically prohibited by RFC 2047, and not supported by any known MTA or email client. (Python still mis-applies encoded-word to non-ASCII localparts, but it is a bug that may be fixed in the future.) - Added tests that try to discourage using Python's legacy email APIs in future updates to django.core.mail.
2025-07-23Fixed #36500 -- Set flake8 max-doc-length config to 79 columns.Mike Edmunds
Set flake8 max-doc-length to 79 to enforce smaller line length limit on docstrings and comments (per coding-style docs). Updated docs to clarify both requirements are enforced by flake8 and to remove some leftover language from the pre-black era.
2025-07-23Added accessibility guidelines for contributors.Thibaud Colas
2025-07-17Fixed #36163 -- Deprecated most positional arguments in django.core.mail.Mike Edmunds
In public mail APIs, changed less frequently used parameters from keyword-or-positional to keyword-only, emitting a warning during the required deprecation period.
2025-07-16Fixed #36477, Refs #36163 -- Added @deprecate_posargs decorator to simplify ↵Mike Edmunds
deprecation of positional arguments. This helper allows marking positional-or-keyword parameters as keyword-only with a deprecation period, in a consistent and correct manner.

2025-05-13Updated guidance to propose new feature ideas in contributing docs.Lily Foote
These changes include: * Clarification of the new feature proposal and evaluation process. * Reodering "points to consider" into reporting bugs section, since these are mostly trac-specific. * Narrowing the guide on user interface bugs and features to just bugs. * Updating documentation for Someday/Maybe triage stage.
