Version History and Release Notes#

Releases of SaaS Pegasus: The Django SaaS Boilerplate are documented here.

Version 2022.9#

The major addition in this release is support for internationalization, a.k.a. translating your app into multiple languages. Here is a quick demo:

This includes support for text localization in Python, Django templates, JavaScript and Wagtail. Translations can be set anonymously (via a cookie) or based on the logged-in user’s selected language.

See the new Internationalization docs for more information.

Major related changes:

  • Added a language selector to the site footer for users who aren’t logged in.

  • Added a language field to the CustomUser model and profile page.

  • Added UserLocaleMiddleware to set the user’s language whenever they are logged-in.

  • Update wagtail bootstrap code to generate localizable pages.

  • Added translations markup to a substantial subset of code across Django views, templates and JavaScript. More translation markup will be added incrementally with new releases.

  • Replaced trans templatetag with translate in a number of places.

Other Changes#

  • Attach team models to the request in middleware instead of view decorator. This means that request.team will be available on every request, so team navigation will be available even on pages like a user profile that are not team-specific. For details see the updated teams middleware docs, as well as the upgrade notes below.

  • Added tests for the above middleware, and updated other tests to be compatible with it.

  • Added a context processor so that team is always available in the template context. Also removed code setting team in context in TeamObjectViewMixin.

Fixes#

  • Don’t show pages on the blog index if they are published then unpublished (Wagtail only, thanks Peter for reporting!)

Upgrade notes#

  • If you use teams and are upgrading from a older version you must make sure that your middleware includes apps.teams.middleware.TeamsMiddleware. It should be placed directly after django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware.

September 1, 2022

Version 2022.8.2#

This is another hotfix release. Thanks Daniel and Jacob for reporting bugs!

  • Fix error loading API Schema file when building without API keys enabled.

  • Added a test that would have caught the above error.

  • Removed unused site-bundle.js file.

  • Fix pyyaml requirements conflict when installing with Google Cloud enabled.

August 5, 2022

Version 2022.8.1#

This is a hotfix release with a few fixes from the last build. Thanks to Jim and Logan for quickly reporting issues!

Fixes#

  • Fix environment variable name used for database port in settings.py.

  • Removes accidentally added text from the landing page (Tailwind builds only).

  • Added instructions to run ./manage.py makemigrations when setting up a database to the README.

August 3, 2022

Version 2022.8#

The major addition in this release is official support for Tailwind CSS. There were also a number of smaller fixes and improvements.

Official Tailwind CSS support#

Pegasus now officially supports Tailwind CSS! Here’s a 3-minute walkthrough:

Some of the larger changes to the Tailwind functionality include:

  • Upgraded TailwindCSS to version 3 and all dependencies to the latest versions.

  • Added a daisyUI dependency and overhauled most of the tailwind templates with daisyUI components.

  • Overhauled navigation bar and menus, and added a daisyUI-based mobile dropdown menu for mobile navigation.

  • All Tailwind pages are now mobile-friendly.

  • Added tailwindcss/typography plugin for content.

  • Improved tailwind-based Django form rendering and integrated the forms with daisyUI components.

  • Improved styling of app notifications/messages.

  • Added modal dialogs to the team deletion and membership removal workflows (team builds only).

  • Removed many no-longer-used classes form site-tailwind.css.

See the updated Tailwind docs for more information and customization options.

Other Additions#

  • Pegasus now ships with a default, customizable logging configuration. Documentation.

  • Added several new helper CSS classes, including pg-content (for content), pg-columns-reversed (for reversed columns), pg-align-items-center (a flexbox utility), and various pg-text- classes for coloring text.

Other Changes#

  • React-based team deletion now works like the HTMX version, with a pop-up confirmation modal. The “Delete” button was removed from the team list UI.

  • Deleting a team/user will now automatically cancel any subscription associated with that team/user. (thanks Florian for reporting!)

  • Updated many templates to use pg- Pegasus helper CSS classes instead of CSS-framework-specific ones. Affected places include: several places in the Pegasus examples, app_home.html, the user profile_form.html and social account connections page, the React teams editing UI, subscription helper pages, default landing page, password reset pages, team invitation pages, user impersonation, wagtail / blog pages, 404 / 500 pages and more.

  • Replaced underscores with hyphens in example URLs.

  • Increased margins between buttons and forms/controls in a few templates.

  • Improved styling of the default email management page.

  • Upgraded several NPM packages to the latest versions including Bootstrap version to 5.2.

  • Overhauled CSS docs.

  • Mark help_text as safe in form_tags (allows adding links and other HTML to your help text)

  • Add trailing slash to urls in apps/web/urls.py.

  • Updated default CI configuration to build all pull requests (was previously all pull requests to main only)

Other Fixes#

  • Fixed bug where non-admins did not see a link to manage their own membership from the team details page. (React builds only)

  • Fixed styling issues with some tables on small screens.

  • Removed empty if/else block from team_nav.html if building without subscriptions.

  • Fixed a bug in @active_subscription_required decorator where an invalid subscription could cause a crashing error instead of redirecting to the subscription management page. (thanks Jon for reporting!)

  • In object home examples, list “four” technologies instead of “three”

August 1, 2022

Version 2022.7.1#

This is a hotfix release that fixes an “Undefined variable” error when building the front end with the Bootstrap Material theme, and Bootstrap 5.2.

More details on the root issue can be found here.

July 22, 2022

Version 2022.7#

This release was largely focused on addressing technical debt and further modernizing some of the front end code that ships with Pegasus.

Due to the large number of updates, a few major changes have been grouped together.

Added TypeScript support#

The Pegasus front-end build pipeline now supports TypeScript. You can continue to write code in normal JavaScript, or introduce TypeScript incrementally on new code, on a file-by-file basis. Future versions of Pegasus are likely to incrementally port more code to TypeScript, similar to how types have been incrementally introduced into the Python code.

Related changes:

  • Added TypeScript transpilation to the front end build pipeline.

  • Added npm run type-check and npm run type-check-watch targets.

  • Added make npm-type-check target for Docker environments.

  • Run type checks as part of the Github Actions front end build step

Upgraded all JavaScript packages#

The npm-check-updates command was run on the entire front end, and with the exception of TailwindCSS, every package in package.json was upgraded to the latest version.

Some of the larger updates (for which there were also code changes to make them compatible) include:

  • Upgraded Vue.js from version 2 to version 3 and made Employee app compatible with Vue 3.

  • Upgraded React to version 18 and react-router to version 6, and updated all code to be compatible with new versions.

Overhauled the API documentation and API clients#

This release removed the deprecated CoreAPI-based API schemas and JavaScript client and replaced it with OpenApi3 schemas (using drf-spectacular) and generated client code. For more information on using APIs in your Pegasus app, see the new API docs.

Details related to this change:

  • Added new drf-spectacular Python dependency and removed the coreapi Python dependency.

  • Added @extend_schema markup to most APIs to improve and simplify the generated OpenAPI3 schemas

  • Added new default endpoints for the OpenAPI3 schema.yml file, Swagger API docs, and Redoc API docs.

  • Added a new TypeScript API client that ships with the front end code.

  • Updated all JS client code to use the new client, including the employee demos, React-based team management views, and chart demo.

  • Removed no-longer-used coreAPI helper functions from assets/javascript/api.js.

  • Removed no-longer-needed assets/javascript/teams/api.js.

  • Removed no-longer-needed app.Api from the front end code.

  • Added openapitools.json to .gitignore

  • Added documentation related to these changes.

Other Additions#

  • project_meta context processor now includes server_url (the absolute URL of your app) in the context.

  • get_server_root helper function to support the above.

  • Doc strings for helper functions in apps/web/meta.py

  • Type hints for various helper methods inside Django models.

  • Add pip-tools to dev Dockerfile so requirements.txt can be built in the container. (Thanks Brett for the suggestion!)

  • Add make pip-compile target for rebuilding requirements.txt and make requirements file for rebuilding requirements.txt, and rebuilding/restarting your Docker containers.

  • Team management URL is now included in team API urls. (React UI only)

Other Fixes#

  • Properly handle team name and slug validation in team editing UI (React UI only)

  • Changing the team slug now properly refreshes the page, so links don’t break. (React UI only)

  • Fixed typo in variable name in get_team_api_url_templates.

Other Changes#

  • Switched chart examples and supporting code from c3.js to Chart.js.

  • Upgraded Django to the latest LTS security release (3.2.14).

  • Dev docker set up now starts celery with the beat flag enabled.

  • Increased the top margin between the navigation and content in content base template. (Bootstrap only, thanks Will for suggesting!)

  • Deleted some accidentally-included commented out code in the Vue employee demo.

July 8, 2022

Version 2022.6#

The main feature of this release is a brand-new integration with Wagtail. Wagtail is a powerful CMS (Content Management System) built on top of Django. You can use it to create rich websites that can be edited directly via an authoring admin interface without writing any code. It’s great for creating marketing sites, blogs, and other mostly-static content.

You can learn more about Wagtail and Pegasus in this 5-minute overview, or by heading over to the Wagtail documentation.

Complete release notes are below:

Added#

  • Pegasus now supports Wagtail! Documentation. There are a fair number of changes to support this work, most of which are only relevant if you enable wagtail support. The main ones includ a new content app, a large number of new Python package dependencies (all stemming from wagtail), and some updates to the site navigation.

  • Pegasus now generates a sitemap for you. Documentation.

  • Responsive HTML email templates were added for the default email confirmation and password reset emails.

  • Add get_protocol helper function to return the string “http” or “https” depending on settings.USE_HTTPS_IN_ABSOLUTE_URLS

Changed#

  • Social sign ups will now automatically create a default team if not there.

  • The login_and_team_required decorator now falls back to the default team from the session/user if not available from URL (thanks Van for the suggestion)

  • Add link to the profile page to set a password if the user only has a social account setup.

  • Improve the default UI for setting a password.

  • Split the top navigation for the app template into its own template (top_nav_app.html). (Material Theme Only)

  • Show top navigation menu even if user is logged in (but hide the sign up / sign in buttons) (Material Theme Only)

  • Increase top margin on 404 and 500 error pages (Bootstrap only)

  • Reduced whitespace in some html templates.

  • Changed reference of djstripe_sync_plans_from_stripe to bootstrap_subscriptions in subscription error message.

  • Removed “[project name]” prefix from signup / password reset emails

  • Refactor: use get_protocol and f-strings in absolute_url helper function

  • Removed “More coming soon” text from the Pegasus examples homepage.

Fixed#

  • Fixed pyparsing version conflict between regular and production requirements (Google Cloud builds only)

  • Fixed subscription price displays when using graduated pricing. (Thanks Lachlan for reporting)

  • Remove Heroku Dockerfile from build if not using it

June 21, 2022

Version 2022.5#

This release improves many of the details of the Stripe subscriptions integration. To streamline these changes, Stripe Elements support has been removed, and subscriptions will be Checkout-based moving forwards.

The release also many small fixes and improvements.

Added#

  • Re-use the Stripe Customer object when a User has multiple subscriptions / payments (by saving it on the User model). This prevents users from having to re-enter their cards multiple times.

  • Added an active_subscription_required decorator for easier subscription feature-gating. Docs

  • Added a periodic task to sync subscriptions with Stripe every day when per-seat billing is enabled.

  • Added a slug field to ProductMetadata to be able to uniquely refer to products in code.

  • Added sync_subscription_model_with_stripe helper function (logic was previously only in sync_subscriptions management command)

  • Stripe subscriptions are now created with a human-readable description with the team/user associated with the subscription.

  • Show expiration date on subscription details when auto-renewal has been turned off

  • Docker projects now include a .env.dev.example file to use as a reference for sharing across team members (the .env.dev file that ships with Pegasus was .gitignored)

  • Added Docker-based instructions for running tests while watching for changes.

  • Add lang="en" to base template for improved accessibility

Fixed#

  • Fixed bootstrap button CSS classes in a few templates to use the pg- class styles instead of the legacy Bulma version. (thanks Lisa for reporting)

  • Removed unreachable template code in view_subscription.html.

  • Removed accidental references to teams from user-based subscription views.

  • Fixed subscription payment display amount when subscription quantity is > 1

  • URLField now renders with same styles as other inputs

  • Don’t sync Stripe subscriptions if they don’t need to be changed (per-seat billing only)

  • Don’t show hidden labels for inputs in render_field/render_form tags

  • Fixed typo in update_billing_date_on_membership_deletion doc string

Changed#

  • Upgraded Python packages to their latest versions.

  • Heroku-based docker deployments now use a buster base image instead of alpine. This helps to simplify build issues when adding certain packages / libraries.

  • Simplified team-based subscription views to no longer have redundant functions

  • Improved layout of socialaccount/signup.html (shown when someone signs up with a social account but the email is already in use). (thanks Lisa for reporting)

  • Updated migration file in api app to match latest expected column sizes

  • upgrade_subscription_checkout.html template has been combined with upgrade_subscription.html

  • Upgrade htmx version from 1.5 to 1.7

May 30, 2022

Version 2022.4.2#

This is a hotfix release, which adds a missing closing </div> tag to the signup template on Tailwind builds when not using teams.

April 27, 2022

Version 2022.4.1#

This is a hotfix release, which fixes the make init command to start containers in the background so that migrations will properly run.

April 26, 2022

Version 2022.4#

Version 2022.4 is a mix of new features and maintenance improvements. Major updates include new “Login with Twitter” functionality, allowing users to manage their own social accounts, and some Docker development improvements.

Added#

  • Added “login with Twitter” as a first-class supported authentication option.

  • Users can now see and manage (connect and disconnect) social accounts (Google and Twitter) from their profile pages.

  • Added new Docker makefile targets, including make start-bg to run docker containers in the background (previous default behavior), and make restart to restart docker containers

  • Added view to simulate errors (by raising an Exception). This is helpful for testing Sentry integrations.

  • Added ability to override page titles in templates using the {% page_title %} block.

  • Added better page titles to several app pages.

  • Continued adding translation markup in user-facing text that was modified (this will be an incremental effort towards full-site translation)

Changed#

  • Upgraded version of node that runs in the Docker container from 14 to 16.

  • Sentry is now a first-class build option enabled in the UI. If enabled, it will be automatically included in requirements and configured in settings.py.

  • README file now includes Docker-specific instructions for everything that was included (Docker builds only)

  • Made more settings variables configured via environment variables.

  • Docker make start command now runs in the foreground instead of in the background.

  • Merged meta.html partial template into base.html to enable overridding blocks inside of it.

  • The socialicon CSS class is now shared in all CSS frameworks and also sets the max width/height of the icon.

  • No longer call npm install in the Dockerfile, since it wasn’t working as expected.

  • Cleaned up unnecessary type="application/javascript" markup from many <script> tags.

Documentation#

April 22, 2022

Version 2022.3#

The main feature of this release is Github Actions support. Pegasus projects can now (optionally) run back end tests and build the front end automatically on Github.

This should work automatically for all projects out-of-the-box. See the documentation for more details.

Added#

Changed#

  • Postgres database settings can now be configured by environment variables directly in settings.py

  • Upgrade default Python version to 3.9 (including in all Docker files)

  • Development Dockerfile now installs all npm packages when being built (thanks Brian for suggesting)

  • Upgraded ~all Python packages to their latest versions, apart from leaving Django on 3.2 LTS

Fixed#

  • More consistent support for using Celery with all versions of Heroku and Redis secure/insecure URLs (thanks Brett for reporting).

This release also introduces a new versioning convention, where future releases will be named: yyyy.mm or yyyy.mm.n in the case of multiple releases in the same month. This was done to make it clearer to customers when they last upgraded, because the previous release numbers were not meaningful, and because the author had developed decision fatigue about when to declare a “1.0” release.

March 28, 2022

Version 0.22.1#

This is a hotfix release that fixes a crashing bug with Heroku deployments that don’t use Redis (thanks James for reporting).

March 15, 2022

Version 0.22#

The main feature of this release is a new front-end theme for Pegasus based off of the Material Kit and Material Dashboard products from Creative Tim.

You can get a sense of the theme in this 3-minute video:

This release also adds support for Django 4.0. See note below for details.

Added#

  • New Bootstrap Material theme based on Creative Tim’s Material Kit / Material Dashboard

  • Added breadcrumbs to the Employee demo app pages

  • Unofficial support for Django 4.0 (see note below).

Package upgrades#

  • dj-stripe to 2.6.1

Changed#

  • All tables are now responsive (scrollable) on Bootstrap builds

  • Add vertical gutters to columns on Bootstrap builds

  • Better spacing of grid layouts in the examples

  • Default pegasus form input styling is now handled with pg-input-group class

  • Updated djstripe_settings import to be compatible with new version

  • Added top navigation bar to various account templates (password reset, password change, etc.). (thanks James for suggesting!)

  • Use render_field in more account templates

  • Heroku runtime now uses Python 3.8.12 (thanks Allan for reporting!)

Fixed#

  • Fixed widget class overrides from not being populated for some widgets. This also fixes “select all” functionality in the Django admin for Bootstrap builds. (Thanks Will for reporting!)

  • Fixed connection strings for Redis on Heroku if you were not on the free tier, by adding ?ssl_cert_reqs=none to Redis connection strings. (Thanks Reid for reporting!)

  • Fixed 500 error in payments example if the “Pay” button was clicked before the JavaScript on the page fully loads.

  • Replaced references to deprecated ugettext translation functions with gettext versions.

  • Removed unused manage/<path:path> url route in HTMX-based teams builds (thanks Peter for reporting!)

Django 4.0 support#

This version unofficially supports Django 4.0, however still ships with 3.2.12.

This is due to one issue with the dj-stripe dependency generating migration files that may cause migration problems across multiple Pegasus environments (e.g. dev and prod, or two developer machines). This is a very similar issue to the one described in the 0.14.2 release notes.

If you wish to use Django 4.0, update the pinned version to 4.0.2 (or latest) in your requirements.txt file after downloading Pegasus, and all should work.

Feb 28, 2022

Version 0.21.1#

This maintenance release simplifies how users are accessed via API key authentication, to make it easier to transition views. It mostly undoes a small handful of changes from the 0.21 release.

Changed#

  • HasUserAPIKey permission class now populates request.user with the associated user, if a valid UserAPIKey is present.

  • API Views and Viewsets now continue to access users via request.user instead of the get_user() helper functions

  • TeamSerializer now accesses the user from the request instead of the explicit ["user"] context.

Removed#

  • Now-redundant UserAPIKeyMixin class

Feb 4, 2022

Version 0.21#

This release has one major feature: API Keys. You can get an overview in this 2-minute video or check out the documentation for details.

There are also a number of smaller fixes and upgrades.

Added#

  • API Key support! See the new API key documentation for details.

  • Example DJSTRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET to .env.dev file for local Docker deployments

Package upgrades#

  • django to 3.2.11

  • psycopg2-binary to 2.9.3 (fixes installation issues on latest macOS processors) (thanks Eric for reporting!)

  • djangorestframework to 3.13.1

Changed#

  • Updated how some type hints are done to reduce potential for circular imports caused by typing

  • Updated headings of account pages to be more consistent with rest of site

Fixed#

  • Added missing closing </section> tag to templates/accounts/password_change.html (thanks Peter for reporting!)

  • Removed redundant tailwind imports from assets/styles/pegasus/tailwind.css which were causing duplicate CSS definitions in the generated site-tailwind.css file (thanks Anna for reporting!)

  • Fixed bug that triggered an error when subscribing new users to a Mailchimp email list

  • The Docker development setup now works on the latest macOS processors

Removed#

  • Building for multiple CSS frameworks has been removed. To try different CSS frameworks you will need to edit your project and download each codebase separately.

Deprecated#

The following features will likely be removed in an upcoming release. Let me know if you would miss these!

  • Stripe Elements support is deprecated and will be removed in favor of Stripe Checkout.

Feb 2, 2022

Version 0.20#

This release involves a substantial update to Pegasus’s subscriptions functionality. The biggest new feature is that per-seat (also known as per-unit) billing is now supported (for Stripe Checkout only). Team-based installments can now create and manage subscriptions based on the number of users in the team, with built-in infrastructure to track changes and keep them in sync with Stripe.

You can find a 6-minute overview of the feature in this video:

The implementation is customizable and can also be used by non-team builds with some additional configuration. See the updated Subscription documentation for an overview of this functionality, and bear in mind that it’s a little complicated with several moving parts!

There were many code changes to support this work-as well as future planned improvements to the subscriptions module. Additionally there were a number of smaller, unrelated updates and fixes.

You can read the complete notes below. The format for this release (and likely future releases) was borrowed from keep a changelog. The most significant changes are in bold. Also please note the announcement of a few features that will be removed soon!

Added#

  • Support for per-unit / per-seat billing. See the docs on using this

  • SubscriptionSerializer class for including Subscription objects in APIs

  • Allow specifying promotion codes when using Stripe Checkout

  • Add ability to override display prices for individual billing plans

  • Celery on Digital Ocean app platform now supports multiple processes (using gevent)

  • More type hints in various places

Package upgrades#

  • Upgrade Django version to 3.2.10 LTS

  • Upgrade dj-stripe to 2.5.1

Changed#

  • Changed URLs of Stripe integration API calls to be more consistent

  • Add several properties and methods to SubscriptionModelBase to help track and use per-seat billing

  • Removed redundant extra functions in apps.subscriptions.checkout_views

  • Prices on subscriptions are no longer centered (it looked silly with only 1 or 2 plans)

  • Prices on subscription page for annual plans now display total amount with billing interval (e.g. $300/year) instead of monthly price ($25/month)

  • Changed get_friendly_currency_amount helper function to take a Plan object instead of an amount and a currency.

Fixed#

  • Team and invitation list APIs now require authentication (results in a 403 instead of 500 error when accessed anonymously)

  • Archived products are not included in the default product list generated by bootstrap_subscriptions

  • Automatically select the first plan if none is configured as the default

  • Don’t crash displaying subscription plan prices for subscriptions with tiered pricing (instead displays “Unknown”

  • Removed some subscriptions templates when building without subscriptions for certain CSS frameworks.

  • [tailwind-only] Removed reference to team name from logged-in homepage when not building with teams

Dec 23, 2021

Deprecated#

The following features will likely be removed in an upcoming release. Let me know if you would miss these!

  • Building for multiple CSS frameworks is deprecated and will be removed in the next release.

  • Stripe Elements support is deprecated and will be removed in favor of Stripe Checkout the next release.

Version 0.19#

This release has two major updates - improved team member management and improved Heroku deployment support.

Improved Team member management

Most of the changes below are summarized in this video:

From a user’s perspective there are three main updates:

  • Admins can now change any team members’ role from the new “member details” page.

  • Admins can also remove anyone from a team.

  • All team members (including admins) can leave teams they belong to.

The following supporting changes were also made:

  • Added a comprehensive test suite supporting the above workflows.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented re-inviting the same email address to a team even if the previous invitation had already been accepted. Duplicate pending invitations are still prevented. This change also removed the DB constraint requiring team and email address to be unique.

  • Fixed bug where “resend invitation” and “cancel invitation” buttons were incorrectly showing up for non-admins.

  • Added helper is_admin method to team Membership objects.

  • Added a CustomUserSerializer to pass user information to the front end.

  • Added the user_id field to MembershipSerializer

  • Add the site name to body of team email invitations.

  • Add __str__ function to team Membership objects.

  • Introduce TeamPermissionError exception class and start using it for permission-related failures.

  • Added better display of front-end validation issues when issuing invitations fails.

  • Various bits of formatting and cleanup in teams React code.

Heroku deployment improvements

A few updates were made to make deployments to Heroku containers faster and more comprehensive:

  • Bump cryptography to 3.4.8 and remove no-longer-necessary dependencies from production dockerfiles. This results in vastly improved build times for Heroku docker deployments.

  • Build the front end files as part of Heroku container deployments

  • Run database migrations by default on Heroku container deployments

  • Set various production-recommended settings in settings_heroku.py. For more details see the new production checklist in the documentation.

Other minor updates

  • Added fall back to username on User display functions if the user does not have an associated email address.

  • Extracted logic for opening modals to a shared JavaScript function (Bulma builds only).

  • Remove commented out / unused code from templates/web/components/top_nav.html and modal dialogs. (Tailwind builds only).

  • Bump django to 3.2.8

  • Add pg-text-muted helper CSS class

  • Add some more type hints to URL helpers

  • Extracted React form validation logic to ValidationErrors component.

Upgrade Notes

If you are upgrading from a previous version you should not merge any changes in the teams migration files, and run ./manage.py makemigrations and ./manage.py migrate to remove the DB constraint on team invitations after upgrading.

Oct 27, 2021

Version 0.18.1#

This hotfix release fixes a bug affecting React builds that caused the sign up page to be broken.

Oct 3, 2021

Version 0.18#

This release adds a new Django + HTMX implementation of Pegasus’s team management functionality. Now, you can choose whether to use React or HTMX for your teams UI.

This choice is configured by the new “Front-End Framework” setting in your project’s Pegasus settings. The setting currently only impacts the Teams UI (and has no impact on Pegasus builds that don’t use teams), but will be extended in future releases.

The HTMX teams UI also has a few user-facing improvements:

  • You can now choose a role when inviting new team members.

  • Team deletion has moved to the team details page, and now has a confirmation dialog.

  • Editing the team name and ID now require the team admin role.

Additionally, there are bug fixes and code-related improvements throughout the teams functionality:

  • Fixed “sign out” link on invitation acceptance page.

  • Improved workflow when attempting to accept an invitation to a team you already belong to.

  • Broke the teams views.py file into multiple Python modules.

  • Set team_membership on request object in team decorator functions, so it can be easily accessed in views/templates.

  • Cleaned up bits of HTML in existing teams React implementation.

  • Various doc strings, type hints, and formatting cleanup throughout code.

  • Combined accept_invitation and accept_invitation_confirm into a single view.

  • Remove a few teams-related templates when not building with teams enabled.

Finally, there were minor updates to other functionality:

  • Bootstrap JavaScript is now built and used from the local install instead of using a pinned CDN. (Bootstrap builds only)

  • Extract Mailchimp mailing list logic to its own module and add mailing list documentation.

  • Fix quirks in HTMX example when back-end validation fails.

  • Minor cleanup of HTMX example code.

  • Rename payments and tasks view modules to payments_views and tasks_views.

  • Upgrade Django to 3.2.7.

  • Changed default value of USE_HTTPS_IN_ABSOLUTE_URLS setting to False

Potentially breaking changes

The change of the default value of USE_HTTPS_IN_ABSOLUTE_URLS could impact production environments that have not overridden this setting. In particular, it would cause Stripe checkout / portal callbacks and invitation emails to have http links instead of https links.

To fix this, add USE_HTTPS_IN_ABSOLUTE_URLS = True to all production settings files / environments.

Version 0.17.1#

This fixes a crashing issue when resending team invitations.

Sep 8, 2021

Version 0.17#

This release adds an HTMX demo, a Teams example app, and more.

This video provides a 4-minute overview of the key features, or read on for details.

The HTMX object demo

The object demo application now has an htmx implementation. HTMX is a library that allows you to build rich, single-page, interactive experiences by adding HTML attributes.

The provided demo application is a single page app with no native JavaScript, backed by Django forms.

The Teams Example app

This release also adds a Teams example app, which has Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) views for an example model that is part of a team (called a “Player”).

As part of this work, a new base model class, BaseTeamModel was added which can be extended to create models that belong to a Team.

Additionally, two view mixin classes, LoginAndTeamRequiredMixin and TeamAdminRequiredMixin were added, which can be used to easily create class-based model views on Team models. A test suite for these mixins was also added.

More details can be found in the Teams documentation.

A big thanks to Peter Cherna, who’s Pegasus example apps was a big inspiration for this example.

Other changes

  • Add generic breadcrumbs CSS classes compatible with Bulma, Bootstrap and Tailwind (used by teams example)

  • Default all Pegasus apps to using BigAutoField instead of AutoField (see upgrade notes)

  • Use f-strings instead of string templates in management commands

  • Reduce indentation level in some html template files

Upgrade notes

The default ID for all Pegasus models was changed from AutoField to BigAutoField. If you are upgrading a project using AutoField you should not merge any changes to initial migration files in the affected apps. Then you can either:

  1. To change your apps from AutoField to BigAutoField, run ./manage.py makemigrations and ./manage.py migrate

  2. To keep using AutoField, change the setting back to AutoField in apps.py for all Pegasus apps.

Aug 24, 2021

Version 0.16.2#

This release upgrades django-hijack from 2.3 to 3.0 and adds hijack links to the admin site.

Aug 11, 2021

Version 0.16.1#

This minor release fixes styling issues with Tailwind builds that were accidentally introduced in 0.16.

Aug 9, 2021

Version 0.16#

This is a grab-bag release of mostly cleanup work and bug fixes.

Please review the breaking changes closely if you are upgrading an existing project! Not doing so could lead to unexpected behavior and demo data loss!

Potentially breaking changes:

  • Changed the login_and_team_required and team_admin_required view decorators to no longer allow superusers to access the views. It is recommended to use the new user impersonation feature to allow superusers to access teams they don’t belong to.

  • Removed user_can_access_team and user_can_administer_team helper functions which provided team access to superusers.

  • Removed attrs library dependency and switched its usages to dataclasses.

  • The Employee example data model has moved, and running migrate will drop all of your demo Employee data.

New: Improved Django form support:

  • Added a Django forms implementation of the employee / object demo

  • Rename bootstrap_form_fields and bulma_form_fields templatetags to form_fields if not using multiple-css-framework support

  • Add render_form_fields helper function to render an entire form. (Note: this currently only supports text-style, checkbox, and select input types.)

  • Add render_checkbox_input to bootstrap form rendering tags

  • Added a basic non-model form example

Fixes:

  • Fix cryptography build issue affecting Heroku docker deployments

  • Improve textarea styling on Bootstrap forms

  • Better default styling of checkboxes in Bootstrap forms.

  • Don’t require that team_slug be the first argument to a url to use the team-based decorator functions.

Cleanup:

  • Upgrade Django to 3.2.6

  • Remove redundant null=True from user avatars

  • Added more type hints

  • Split object / employee example out into its own app and template folder.

  • Added help text to employee example model fields

  • Changed some navigation and text around the employee app example

  • Remove inline style declarations from a few examples

  • Added some instructions about initializing your database to the README

  • Update migrations to be compatible with latest Django / Pegasus code

Upgrade notes:

If you receive a warning like this when generating Database migrations:

You are trying to change the nullable field ‘avatar’ on customuser to non-nullable without a default; we can’t do that (the database needs something to populate existing rows).

It is safe to choose option 2, “Ignore for now…”. There won’t be any NULL values in the database, since Django automatically populates FileFields with an empty string.

Aug 6, 2021

Version 0.15#

Version 0.15 is a major release with two big features: Stripe Checkout and User Impersonation.

For 3-minute summary you can watch the video below, or read on for details.

Stripe Checkout Support

Now you can use Stripe Checkout for payments instead of - or in addition to - the Stripe Elements-based embedded UI. Stripe Checkout support has been added to the subscriptions page, as well as the payment example. You can build new Pegasus projects with Checkout, Elements, or toggle between them via a settings.py setting.

User Impersonation

This release also adds optional user impersonation functionality for superusers, allowing admins and support staff to “login as” another user with a few clicks. This is a great tool for troubleshooting user-specific issues. This feature depends on django-hijack and can be disabled at build time.

Other updates

  • Make http/https in absolute URLs (e.g. email invitations) configurable via the USE_HTTPS_IN_ABSOLUTE_URLS setting

  • Start adding type hints to the codebase, primarily in helper functions. More coming soon!

  • Added more tests for teams helper functions

  • Split out subscription/views.py into multiple files to make it clearer which views affect which functionality.

  • Break upgrade_subscription.html into multiple files to support elements and checkout-based flows.

  • Improve default string representation of user model

  • Improve the default styling of select widgets (Bootstrap builds only)

  • Clean up doc strings and code for team API permission helpers (teams builds only)

  • Rename teams.util to teams.helpers to be consistent with other apps (teams builds only)

  • Fix issue with apps/subscriptions/__init__.py not being created for certain configurations

  • Various minor cleanups of whitespace, url ordering, etc.

July 22, 2021

Version 0.14.5#

Another grab-bag of minor fixes and improvements.

  • Reduce scope of hiding file inputs to just the profile upload form

  • Add NoNewUsersAccountAdapter to allow disabling public sign ups for an app

  • Extract Bulma and Bootstrap form rendering to helper template tags

  • Fix subscription details start date display (subscriptions builds only)

  • Explicitly set DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD to AutoField in settings to remove runtime warnings.

  • Minor README improvements

  • Upgrade Django to 3.2.5

Changes only affecting builds with teams enabled:

  • Fix error on sign up if email passes front-end validation but fails back-end validation

  • Change /teams/ URL to go to the teams management page instead of API docs

  • Improve styling of teams page when no teams exist on Bootstrap

  • Fix React warning in teams JavaScript

July 15, 2021

Version 0.14.4#

A very minor release:

  • Don’t include djstripe and associated settings in INSTALLED_APPS if not using subscriptions

June 30, 2021

Version 0.14.3#

A very minor release:

  • Update Django to 3.2.4

  • Remove DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD declaration from settings. This was causing issues with allauth migrations being generated, as a result of this issue. Until more libraries have worked around these migration issues, Pegasus will just ship with the default setting.

June 17, 2021

Version 0.14.2#

This release upgrades dj-stripe to version 2.4.4 which should fix cross-environment migration issues.

Upgrade notes:

Projects using a “clean” 0.14 or 0.14.1 release may have been affected by this issue in dj-stripe where running makemigrations automatically generated a migration file inside the dj-stripe library code. Local app migrations would then add a dependency to this migration, which would not be available on other environments.

This often manifested as an error along the lines of the following when setting up a second environment:

django.db.migrations.exceptions.NodeNotFoundError: 
  Migration .0003_auto_20210524_1532 dependencies reference nonexistent parent node ('djstripe', '0008_auto_20210521_2314')`

To fix this there are a few steps:

  1. You should explicitly uninstall and reinstall dj-stripe instead of just installing requirements to ensure the generated migration file is removed. pip uninstall dj-stripe && pip install dj-stripe==2.4.4

  2. You should rebuild your own app’s migrations to no longer depend on the generated dj-stripe migration, by deleting the bad files and re-running makemigrations on a fresh environment.

  3. You will need to “fake” migrations for any existing DBs, by manually deleting relevant rows from the django_migrations table and then running ./manage migrate <appname> --fake for each affected app.

Please reach out for support on Slack if you run into any issues with this, and I’m happy to help!

May 26, 2021

Version 0.6.1#

May 26, 2020

Version 0.6.0#

This release begins the move of Pegasus’s core functionality out of the “pegasus” app and into the user-defined apps. It’s a relatively big release from a code perspective, although there is very little new / changed in terms of functionality.

Philosophy#

The philosophy guiding this change is “your starting code base should be as understandable as possible”.

Historically, Pegasus has attempted to separate “Pegasus-owned” files from “user-owned” files. The thinking behind this structure was that Pegasus upgrades and code merges would be as easy as possible since - in theory - users would not need to modify anything in the “Pegasus-owned” space.

In practice, the line between “Pegasus-owned” and “user-owned” was fuzzy, and customizing an application often required editing files in the “Pegasus-owned” space. So the benefit was not realized.

Furthermore, this split caused the initial codebase to be more confusing, since core functionality was split across two places.

Changelog#

Changes related to the restructure above include:

  • Moved all base templates from templates/pegasus/ to templates/web/

  • Moved team invitation templates from templates/pegasus/email/ to templates/teams/email/

  • Merged pegasus/apps/users and all related code into apps/users

  • Merged pegasus/apps/teams and all related code into apps/teams

  • Moved bootstrap_subscriptions management command into subscriptions app

  • Moved google_analytics_id context processor to web app

  • Moved meta.py from pegasus app to web app

  • Moved pegasus/utils/subscriptions.py to apps/subscriptions/helpers.py

  • Moved PegasusBaseModel to apps.utils and renamed to BaseModel

  • Removed unused stripe.py file (replacing functionality with equivalent functions in djstripe)

  • Removed “Pegasus” from API url names

  • Moved non-example JS imports out of pegasus/Pegasus.js and into App.js

  • Lowercased (and kebab-cased) all JS file names for consistency

  • Moved sass files from assets/styles/pegasus, to assets/styles/app

A Note on Database Migrations#

Historically, Pegasus has shipped with complete database migrations. However, maintaining a set of migrations for each possible Pegasus configuration or forcing all configurations to use the same DB schema has proven unwieldy. Thus, migrations are now expected to be managed outside of Pegasus.

For new users, the only change is that prior to running ./manage.py migrate for the first time, you must first run ./manage.py makemigrations.

For existing users you can either keep your current migrations folder, or you can run ./manage.py makemigrations and then ./manage.py migrate --fake. If you have changed the user or team models, then you should keep your current folder.
