ChangeLog.rst

0.49.0 (2022-02-22)

Note worthy changes

• New providers: LemonLDAP::NG.
• Fixed SignupForm setting username and email attributes on the User class instead of a dummy user instance.
• Email addresses POST'ed to the email management view (done in order to resend the confirmation email) were not properly validated. Yet, these email addresses were still added as secondary email addresses. Given the lack of proper validation, invalid email addresses could have entered the database.
• New translations: Romanian.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Changed naming of internal_reset_url_key attribute in allauth.account.views.PasswordResetFromKeyView to reset_url_key.

0.48.0 (2022-02-03)

Note worthy changes

• New translations: Catalan, Bulgarian.
• Introduced a new setting ACCOUNT_PREVENT_ENUMERATION that controls whether or not information is revealed about whether or not a user account exists. Warning: this is a work in progress, password reset is covered, yet, signing up is not.
• The ACCOUNT_EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_COOLDOWN is now also respected when using HMAC based email confirmations. In earlier versions, users could trigger email verification mails without any limits.
• Added builtin rate limitting (see ACCOUNT_RATE_LIMITS).
• Added internal_reset_url_key attribute in allauth.account.views.PasswordResetFromKeyView which allows specifying a token parameter displayed as a component of password reset URLs.
• It is now possible to use allauth without having sites installed. Whether or not sites is used affects the data models. For example, the social app model uses a many-to-many pointing to the sites model if the sites app is installed. Therefore, enabling or disabling sites is not something you can do on the fly.
• The facebook provider no longer raises ImproperlyConfigured within {% providers_media_js %} when it is not configured.

Backwards incompatible changes

• The newly introduced ACCOUNT_PREVENT_ENUMERATION defaults to True impacting the current behavior of the password reset flow.
• The newly introduced rate limitting is by default turned on. You will need to provide a 429.html template.
• The default of SOCIALACCOUNT_STORE_TOKENS has been changed to False. Rationale is that storing sensitive information should be opt in, not opt out. If you were relying on this functionality without having it explicitly turned on, please add it to your settings.py.

0.47.0 (2021-12-09)

Note worthy changes

• New providers: Gumroad.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Added a new setting SOCIALACCOUNT_LOGIN_ON_GET that controls whether or not the endpoints for initiating a social login (for example, "/accounts/google/login/") require a POST request to initiate the handshake. As requiring a POST is more secure, the default of this new setting is False.

Security notice

Automatically signing in users into their account and connecting additional third party accounts via a simple redirect ("/accounts/facebook/login/") can lead to unexpected results and become a security issue especially when the redirect is triggered from a malicious web site. For example, if an attacker prepares a malicious website that (ab)uses the Facebook password recovery mechanism to first sign into his/her own Facebook account, followed by a redirect to connect a new social account, you may end up with the attacker's Facebook account added to the account of the victim. To mitigate this, SOCIALACCOUNT_LOGIN_ON_GET is introduced.

0.46.0 (2021-11-15)

Note worthy changes

• New providers: Gitea, MediaWiki.
• New translations: Georgian, Mongolian.
• Django 3.2 compatibility.

0.45.0 (2021-07-11)

Note worthy changes

• New providers: Feishu, NetIQ, Frontier, CILogin.

0.44.0 (2020-11-25)

Security notice

In previous versions, the mechanism to prevent too many failed login attempts (ACCOUNT_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS_LIMIT) could be bypassed by changing the casing of the login.

Backwards incompatible changes

• The certificate key part of the SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS configuration has been renamed to certificate_key. This is done to prevent the key from being displayed without being masked in Django debug pages.

0.44.0

• Better compatibility with Django 3.2

0.43.0 (2020-10-15)

Note worthy changes

• New translation: Slovenian.
• If ACCOUNT_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS_LIMIT is set and the user successfully resets their password, the timeout is cleared to allow immediate login.
• You can now limit the amount of email addresses a user can associate to his account by setting ACCOUNT_MAX_EMAIL_ADDRESSES.
• New providers: Apple, Okta, Stocktwits, Zoho, Zoom.
• If email verification is set to mandatory, the email address you use to login with must now be verified as well. In previous versions, it was sufficient if the account had at least one verified email address, not necessarily the one used to login with.
• Added a new setting: ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_REDIRECT_URL -- the URL (or URL name) to redirect to directly after signing up.

Backwards incompatible changes

• In previous versions, the allauth app included a base.html template. This template could conflict with an equally named template at project level. Therefore, base.html has now been moved to account/base.html -- you will need to check your templates and likely override account/base.html within your project.

0.42.0 (2020-05-24)

Note worthy changes

• New providers: EDX, Yandex, Mixer.
• Fixed Twitch get_avatar_url() method to use the profile picture retrieved by new user details endpoint introduced in version 0.40.0.
• The Facebook API version now defaults to v7.0.

0.41.0 (2019-12-18)

Security notice

• See CVE-2019-19844.

Note worthy changes

• New providers: Exist.io., YNAB, Amazon Cognito.
• You can now store OAuth credentials directly in your settings.SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS settings instead of storing them in the database using a SocialApp record.
• Adding Keycloak Provider

Backwards incompatible changes

• Dropped Python 2 and Django 1 compatibility.

0.40.0 (2019-08-29)

Note worthy changes

• The instagram provider now extracts the user's full name.
• New provider: NextCloud (OAuth2)
• Added an SDK_URL setting for customizing the loading of the Facebook JavaScript SDK.
• Updated Twitch provider to use new authentication endpoints (https://id.twitch.tv) over deprecated v5 endpoints (https://api.twitch.tv/kraken)
• Added support for Patreon API v2, with API v1 set as default for backwards compatibility.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Twitch: The new API's profile data is different in both structure and content than the old V5 endpoint. Any project that relies on data from SocialAccount.extra_data should refer to the new API user endpoint documentation: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-users

0.39.1 (2019-02-28)

Note worthy changes

• The linkedin_oauth2 provider now gracefully deals with old V1 data that might still be present in SocialAccount.extra_data.

Backwards incompatible changes

• The globus provider's extract_uid now uses the openid required field sub instead of the create_time field.

0.39.0 (2019-02-26)

Note worthy changes

• New providers: JupyterHub (OAuth2), Steam (OpenID)
• Refactor translations: Portuguese (Portugal).
• Add testing for Django 2.2 (no code changes required)

Backwards incompatible changes

• linkedin_oauth2: As the LinkedIn V1 API is deprecated, the user info endpoint has been moved over to use the API V2. The format of the user extra_data is different and the profile picture is absent by default.

0.38.0 (2018-10-03)

Security notice

The {% user_display user %} tag did not escape properly. Depending on the username validation rules, this could lead to XSS issues.

Note worthy changes

• New provider: Vimeo (OAuth2).
• New translations: Basque.

0.37.1 (2018-08-27)

Backwards incompatible changes

• Dropped the x-li-src: msdk headers from the linkedin_oauth2 handshake. This header is only required for mobile tokens, and breaks the regular flow. Use the HEADERS setting to add this header if you need it.

0.37.0 (2018-08-27)

Note worthy changes

• The Battle.net login backend now recognizes apac as a valid region.
• User model using a UUIDField as it's primary key can now be logged in upon email confirmation (if using ACCOUNT_LOGIN_ON_EMAIL_CONFIRMATION).
• New providers: Agave, Cern, Disqus, Globus.
• New translation: Danish.

0.36.0 (2018-05-08)

Note worthy changes

• New providers: Telegram, QuickBooks.
• The Facebook API version now defaults to v2.12.
• ORCID upgraded to use API v2.1.

Security notice

• In previous versions, the authentication backend did not invoke the user_can_authenticate() method, potentially allowing users with is_active=False to authenticate when the allauth authentication backend was used in a non allauth context.

0.35.0 (2018-02-02)

Note worthy changes

• Add support for Django 2.0

Security notice

• As an extra security measure on top of what the standard Django password reset token generator is already facilitating, allauth now adds the user email address to the hash such that whenever the user's email address changes the token is invalidated.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Drop support for Django 1.8 and Django 1.10.

Note worthy changes

• New provider: Azure, Microsoft Graph, Salesforce, Yahoo.

0.34.0 (2017-10-29)

Security notice

• The "Set Password" view did not properly check whether or not the user already had a usable password set. This allowed an attacker to set the password without providing the current password, but only in case the attacker already gained control over the victim's session.

Note worthy changes

• New provider: Meetup.

0.33.0 (2017-08-20)

Note worthy changes

• Security: password reset tokens are now prevented from being leaked through the password reset URL.
• New providers: Patreon, Authentiq, Dataporten.
• Dropbox has been upgraded to API V2.
• New translation: Norwegian.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Dropped support for Django 1.9.

0.32.0 (2017-04-27)

Note worthy changes

• Improved AJAX support: the account management views (change/set password, manage e-mail addresses and social connections) now support AJAX GET requests. These views hand over all the required data for you to build your frontend application upon.
• New providers: Dwolla, Trello.
• Shopify: support for per-user access mode.

Backwards incompatible changes

• In previous versions, the views only responded with JSON responses when issuing AJAX requests of type POST. Now, the views also respond in JSON when making AJAX GET requests.
• The structure of the response for AJAX requests has changed. Previously, it contained a form_errors key containing all form validation errors, if any. Now, it contains a form key that describes the complete form, including the fields. Field specific errors are placed in form.fields['some_field'].errors, non-field errors in form.errors.
• The parameters passed to the Facebook JS SDK FB.init() method used to contain cookie, status, and xfbml, all set to true. These parameters are no longer explicitly passed. You can use the newly introduced INIT_PARAMS provider setting to provide your own values.

0.31.0 (2017-02-28)

Note worthy changes

• Added a new user_logged_out signal.
• OpenId: Added support for requesting additional data.
• New providers: Auth0, Box, Line, Naver, Kakao, Daum, MailChimp, Eventbrite.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Django 1.7 / Python 3.2 compatibility has been dropped.
• Due to providers being registered in the same file as their definition it was impossible to subclass a provider without having the parent be registered. This has been addressed. If you have implemented a custom provider, you will need to change providers.registry.register(CustomProvider) into provider_classes = [CustomProvider].

0.30.0 (2017-01-01)

Note worthy changes

• Changed the algorithm that generates unique usernames. Previously, in case the provider did not hand over any information to base the username on, the username "user" extended with an ever increasing numeric suffix would be attempted until a free username was found. In case of a large number of existing users, this could result in many queries being executed before a free username would be found, potentially resulting in a denial of service. The new algorithm uses a random suffix and only one query to determine the final username.
• Added a new setting: ACCOUNT_PRESERVE_USERNAME_CASING. This setting determines whether the username is stored in lowercase (False) or whether its casing is to be preserved (True). Note that when casing is preserved, potentially expensive __iexact lookups are performed when filter on username. For now, the default is set to True to maintain backwards compatibility.
• The OAuth2Adapter class has gained a get_callback_url method for when customizing the callback URL is desired.
• The Battle.net login backend now accepts the region GET parameter.
• New providers: 500px, Discord.

Backwards incompatible changes

• In previous versions, the DefaultAccountAdapter contained a username_regex property and accompanying error_messages['invalid_username'] validation error message. These have been removed in favor of using the regex validation already defined at the user model level. Alternatively, you can use the newly introduced ACCOUNT_USERNAME_VALIDATORS setting.
• The Battle.net backend no longer overrides username regex validation. In order to use battletags as usernames, you are expected to override either the username field on your User model, or to pass a custom validator which will accept the # character using the new ACCOUNT_USERNAME_VALIDATORS setting. Such a validator is available in socialaccount.providers.battlenet.validators.BattletagUsernameValidator.

0.29.0 (2016-11-21)

Note worthy changes

• Addressed Django 1.10 deprecation warnings.

0.28.0 (2016-10-13)

Security notice

• Previous versions contained a vulnerability allowing an attacker to alter the provider specific settings for SCOPE and/or AUTH_PARAMS (part of the larger SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS setting). The changes would persist across subsequent requests for all users, provided these settings were explicitly set within your project. These settings translate directly into request parameters, giving the attacker undesirable control over the OAuth(2) handshake. You are not affected if you did not explicitly configure these settings. Thanks to Ryan Kelly for reporting!

Note worthy changes

• New providers: Doximity.
• New translations: Korean.

0.27.0 (2016-08-18)

Note worthy changes

• Django 1.10 compatibility.
• The Twitter and GitHub providers now support querying of the email address.

Backwards incompatible changes

• When ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_EMAIL_ENTER_TWICE was turned on, the e-mail field key changed from email to email1, which could introduce subtle bugs. This has now been changed: there always is an email field, and optionally an email2 field.
• The "You must type the same password each time" form validation error that can be triggered during signup is now added to the password2 field instead of being added to the non field errors.
• The email_confirmation_sent signal is now passed request, confirmation and signup instead of only the confirmation.
• ACCOUNT_PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH was already deprecated, but is now completely ignored if AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS is not empty.

0.26.1 (2016-07-25)

Note worthy changes

• Locale files wrongly packaged, fixed.
• Fixed bug (KeyError) when ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_EMAIL_ENTER_TWICE was set to True.

0.26.0 (2016-07-24)

Note worthy changes

• New providers: Weixin, Battle.net, Asana, Eve Online, 23andMe, Slack
• Django's password validation mechanism (see AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS) is now used to validate passwords.
• By default, email confirmations are no longer stored in the database. Instead, the email confirmation mail contains an HMAC based key identifying the email address to confirm. The verification lookup includes a fallback to the previous strategy so that there is no negative impact on pending verification emails.
• A new setting ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_EMAIL_ENTER_TWICE was added, requiring users to input their email address twice. The setting ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_PASSWORD_VERIFICATION has been renamed to ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_PASSWORD_ENTER_TWICE.
• New translations: Latvian, Kyrgyz.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Dropped support for Django 1.6
• In order to accomodate for Django's password validation, the clean_password method of the adapter now takes an (optional) user parameter as its second argument.
• The new HMAC based keys may contain colons. If you have forked account/urls.py, be sure to sync the account_confirm_email pattern.

0.25.2 (2016-03-13)

Note worthy changes

• Bug fix release (MemcachedKeyCharacterError: "Control characters not allowed")

0.25.1 (2016-03-13)

Note worthy changes

• Bug fix release (AttributeError in password reset view).

0.25.0 (2016-03-12)

Note worthy changes

• Many providers were added: Reddit, Untappd, GitLab, Stripe, Pinterest, Shopify, Draugiem, DigitalOcean, Robinhood, Bitbucket(OAuth2).
• The account connections view is now AJAX aware.
• You can now customize the template extension that is being used to render all HTML templates (ACCOUNT_TEMPLATE_EXTENSION)
• In order to be secure by default, users are now blocked from logging in after exceeding a maximum number of failed login attempts (see ACCOUNT_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS_LIMIT, ACCOUNT_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS_TIMEOUT). Set ACCOUNT_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS_LIMIT to None to disable this functionality. Important: while this protects the allauth login view, it does not protect Django's admin login from being brute forced.
• New translations: Arabic, Lithuanian

Backwards incompatible changes

None

0.24.1 (2015-11-09)

Note worthy changes

• Non-test code accidentally had test packages as a dependency.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Setting a password after logging in with a social account no longer logs out the user by default on Django 1.7+. Setting an initial password and changing the password both respect settings.ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_ON_PASSWORD_CHANGE.

0.24.0 (2015-11-08)

Note worthy changes

• Django 1.9b1 compatibility.
• Seppo Erviälä contributed a Finnish translation, thanks!
• Iurii Kriachko contributed a Basecamp provider, thanks!

Backwards incompatible changes

• Increased SocialApp key/secret/token sizes to 191, decreased SocialAccount.uid size to 191. The latter was done in order to accomodate for MySQL in combination with utf8mb4 and contraints on uid. Note that uid is used to store OpenID URLs, which can theoretically be longer than 191 characters, although in practice this does not seem to be the case. In case you really need to control the uid length, set settings.SOCIALACCOUNT_UID_MAX_LENGTH accordingly. Migrations are in place.

0.23.0 (2015-08-02)

Note worthy changes

• David Friedman contributed Edmodo support, thanks!
• Added support for ACCOUNT_LOGIN_ON_PASSWORD_RESET (thanks Julen!)

Backwards incompatible changes

None

0.22.0 (2015-07-23)

Note worthy changes

• Reversal of the email confirmation url can now be overridden in the adapter (get_email_confirmation_url). Additionally, the complete confirmation email handling can be overridden via send_confirmation_mail.
• Template context processors are no longer used.
• The Facebook Graph API fields (/me/?fields=...) can now be configured using the provider FIELDS setting.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Dropped support for Python 2.6 and Django <1.6.
• The default Facebook Graph API version is now v2.4.
• Template context processors are no longer used. The context processor for allauth.account was already empty, and the context processor for allauth.socialaccount has been converted into the :doc:{% get_providers %} <templates> template tag.

0.21.0 (2015-07-02)

Note worthy changes

• You can now tweak the authentication params per OAuth provider, as you already could for OAuth2. Contributed by Peter Rowlands, thanks.
• Nattaphoom Ch. contributed a Thai translation, thanks!
• Guoyu Hao contributed a Baidu provider, thanks!
• Rod Xavier Bondoc contributed support logging out on password change (see setting: ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_ON_PASSWORD_CHANGE)

Backwards incompatible changes

• In version 0.20.0 an account migration (0002_email_max_length) was added to alter the maximum length of the email field. Unfortunately, a side effect of this migration was that the unique=True setting slipped through as well. Hardcoding this to True is wrong, as uniqueness actually depends on the ACCOUNT_UNIQUE_EMAIL setting. We cannot create a followup 0003 migration to set things straight, as the 0002 migration may fail on installations where email addresses are not unique. Therefore, we had to resort to changing an existing migration which is normally not the right thing to do. In case your installation has ACCOUNT_UNIQUE_EMAIL set to True, you need not take any further action. In case it is set to False and migration 0002 already ran, please issue a --fake migration down to 0001, followed by a re-run of the updated 0002.

0.20.0 (2015-05-25)

Note worthy changes

• Patrick Paul contributed a provider for Evernote, thanks!
• Josh Wright contributed a provider for Spotify, thanks!
• Björn Andersson added support for Dropbox OAuth2, thanks!
• guoqiao contributed a provider for Douban, thanks!

Backwards incompatible changes

• Given that the max_length for the Django 1.8 EmailField has been bumped to 254, allauth is following up. Migrations (account) are in place.

0.19.1 (2015-02-05)

Note worthy changes

• Fixed migrations when using South & Django 1.6.

0.19.0 (2015-01-04)

Note worthy changes

• Basil Shubin contributed an Odnoklassniki provider, thanks!
• Facebook: If the JS SDK is not available, for example due to a browser plugin like Disconnect.me that blocks it, login falls back to the regular non JS handshake.
• is_safe_url can now be overriden
• Facebook: The Graph API version is now configurable via SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS.
• A Firefox Accounts provider was added by Jannis Leidel, thanks!
• Josh Owen contributed Coinbase support, thanks!
• Tomas Babej contributed a Slovak translation, thanks!
• Moved existing migrations into south_migrations
• "zbryikt" contributed a Taiwanese Chinese translation, thanks!
• Added support for custom password rules via clean_password.

Backwards incompatible changes

• In the upcoming Django 1.8 it is no longer possible to hookup an unsaved User instance to a SocialAccount. Therefore, if you are inspecting the sociallogin object, you should now use sociallogin.user instead of sociallogin.account.user.
• When users logged in while User.is_active was False, they were sent to /accounts/inactive/ in case of a social login, and received a form validation error in case of a local login. This needless inconsistency has been removed. The validation error no longer appears and local logins are also redirected to /accounts/inactive/.
• In case you were overriding the ResetPasswordForm: the save method now takes request as its first argument.
• All existing migrations have been moved into south_migrations packages, this in order not to conflict with Django's built-in support for migrations. South 1.0 automatically picks up this new location. Upgrade South if you are still dependent on these migrations.

0.18.0 (2014-08-12)

Note worthy changes

• Storing social access tokens is now optional (SOCIALACCOUNT_STORE_TOKENS).
• nimiq contributed ORCID support, thanks.
• All forms are now pluggable via a new setting: (SOCIAL)ACCOUNT_FORMS.
• James Thompson contributed Windows Live support, thanks!

Backwards incompatible changes

• SECURITY: The Persona provider now requires the AUDIENCE parameter to be explicitly configured, as required by the Persona specification for security reasons.
• The inline Javascript is removed from the fbconnect.html template, which allows for a more strict Content-Security-Policy. If you were using the builtin fbconnect.html this change should go by unnoticed.

0.17.0 (2014-06-16)

Note worthy changes

• sourenaraya contributed Mail.Ru support, thanks.
• account: Justin Michalicek contributed support to control session life time and age: ACCOUNT_SESSION_COOKIE_AGE and ACCOUNT_SESSION_REMEMBER.
• Serafeim Papastefanos contributed an Ukrainian translation, thanks!
• kkarwows contributed AppConfig support, thanks.
• socialaccount: Added Xing provider.
• socialaccount: Marcin Skarbek contributed Hubic support, thanks!
• Volodymyr Yatsyk contributed an Ukrainian translation, thanks!
• joke2k contributed an Italian translation, thanks!
• socialaccount: All providers now support the VERIFIED_EMAIL property have e-mail addresses forced to be interpreted as verified.

Backwards incompatible changes

None

0.16.1 (2014-03-12)

Note worthy changes

• Facebook login via Javascript was broken if auth_type was not set to reauthenticate, fixed.
• Support for hooking up a callback when FB.init() is ready (allauth.facebook.onInit)

Backwards incompatible changes

None

0.16.0 (2014-03-10)

Note worthy changes

• Nariman Gharib contributed a Persian translation, thanks!
• The custom signup form save has been deprecated in favour of a def signup(request, user) method.
• Facebook reauthentication now uses an auth_nonce.
• Added a new option ACCOUNT_LOGIN_ON_EMAIL_CONFIRMATION, to indicate whether or not e-mail confirmation is to automatically log in.
• socialaccount: Added Bitbucket provider.
• Jack Shedd contributed Tumblr support, thanks!
• Romanos Tsouroplis contributed Foursquare support, thanks!
• "excessivedemon" contributed Flickr support, thanks!
• Luis Diego García contributed Amazon and Paypal support, thanks!
• Stuart Ross contributed LinkedIn OAuth 2.0 support, thanks!

Backwards incompatible changes

• Previously, the save(user) was called on the custom signup form. However, this shadowed the existing save method in case a model form was used. To avoid confusion, the save method has been deprecated in favour of a def signup(request, user) method.
• The Amazon provider requires more space for token_secret, so the maximum length restriction has been dropped. Migrations are in place.

0.15.0 (2013-12-01)

Note worthy changes

• socialaccount: Added is_auto_signup_allowed to social account adapter.
• facebook: Added a new setting: VERIFIED_EMAIL.
• socialaccount: a collision on e-mail address when you sign up using a third party social account is now more clearly explained: "An account already exists with this e-mail address. Please sign in to that account first, then connect your Google account".
• account: You are now automatically logged in after confirming your e-mail address during sign up.
• account: The /accounts/login/ view now supports AJAX requests.
• facebook: The fbconnect.js script is now more pluggable.
• socialaccount: Markus Kaiserswerth contributed a Feedly provider, thanks!
• socialaccount: Dropped django-avatar support.
• openid: First, last and full name are now also queried together with the e-mail address. Thanks, @andrvb.
• openid: Compatibility fix for Django 1.6 (JSON serializer).
• account: Added support for ACCOUNT_CONFIRM_EMAIL_ON_GET.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Instead of directly rendering and returning a template, logging in while the account is inactive or not yet confirmed now redirects to two new views: /accounts/inactive/ respectively /accounts/confirm-email/.
• The account/verification_sent.html template no longer receives the e-mail address in the context (email). Note that a message containing that e-mail address is still emitted using the messages framework.
• The /accounts/confirm_email/key/ view has been renamed to /accounts/confirm-email/ (human friendlier). Redirects are in place to handle old still pending confirmations.
• Built-in support for django-avatar has been removed. Offering such functionality means making choices which may not be valid for everyone. For example, allauth was downloading the image (which can take some time, or even block) in the context of the login, whereas a better place might be some celery background job. Additionally, in case of an error it simply ignored this. How about retries et al? Also, do you want to copy the avatar once at sign up, or do you want to update on each login? All in all, this functionality goes way beyond authentication and should be addressed elsewhere, beyond allauth scope. The original code has been preserved here so that you can easily reinstate it in your own project: https://gist.github.com/pennersr/7571752

0.14.2 (2013-11-16)

Note worthy changes

• Compatibility fix for logging in with Django 1.6.
• Maksim Rukomoynikov contributed a Russian translation, thanks!

Backwards incompatible changes

• In case you were using the internal method generate_unique_username, note that its signature has changed. It now takes a list of candidates to base the username on.

0.14.1 (2013-10-28)

Note worthy changes

• PyPi did not render the README.rst properly.

Backwards incompatible changes

None

0.14.0 (2013-10-28)

Note worthy changes

• Stuart Ross contributed AngelList support, thanks!
• LinkedIn: profile fields that are to be fetched are now configurable (PROFILE_FIELDS provider-level setting).
• Udi Oron contributed a Hebrew translation, thanks!
• Add setting ACCOUNT_DEFAULT_HTTP_PROTOCOL (HTTPS support).
• George Whewell contributed Instagram support, thanks!
• Refactored adapter methods relating to creating and populating User instances.
• User creation methods in the Default(Social)AccountAdapter now have access to the request.

Backwards incompatible changes

• The socialaccount/account_inactive.html template has been moved to account/account_inactive.html.
• The adapter API for creating and populating users has been overhauled. As a result, the populate_new_user adapter methods have disappeared. Please refer to the section on "Creating and Populating User Instances" for more information.

0.13.0 (2013-08-31)

Note worthy changes

• Koichi Harakawa contributed a Japanese translation, thanks!
• Added is_open_for_signup to DefaultSocialAccountAdapter.
• Added VK provider support.
• Marcin Spoczynski contributed a Polish translation, thanks!
• All views are now class-based.
• django.contrib.messages is now optional.
• "jresins" contributed a simplified Chinese, thanks!

Backwards incompatible changes

• The password reset from key success response now redirects to a "done" view (/accounts/password/reset/key/done/). This view has its own account/password_reset_from_key_done.html template. In previous versions, the success template was intertwined with the account/password_reset_from_key.html template.

0.12.0 (2013-07-01)

Note worthy changes

• Added support for re-authenticated (forced prompt) by means of a new action="reauthenticate" parameter to the {% provider_login_url %}
• Roberto Novaes contributed a Brazilian Portuguese translation, thanks!
• Daniel Eriksson contributed a Swedish translation, thanks!
• You can now logout from both allauth and Facebook via a Javascript helper: window.allauth.facebook.logout().
• Connecting a social account is now a flow that needs to be explicitly triggered, by means of a process="connect" parameter that can be passed along to the {% provider_login_url %}, or a process=connect GET parameter.
• Tomas Marcik contributed a Czech translation, thanks!

• The {% provider_login_url %} tag now takes an optional process parameter that indicates how to process the social login. As a result, if you include the template socialaccount/snippets/provider_list.html from your own overriden socialaccount/connections.html template, you now need to pass along the process parameter as follows: {% include "socialaccount/snippets/provider_list.html" with process="connect" %}.
• Instead of inlining the required Facebook SDK Javascript wrapper code into the HTML, it now resides into its own .js file (served with {% static %}). If you were using the builtin fbconnect.html this change should go by unnoticed.

0.10.0 (2013-04-12)

Note worthy changes

• Chris Davis contributed Vimeo support, thanks!
• Added support for overriding the URL to return to after connecting a social account (allauth.socialaccount.adapter.DefaultSocialAccountAdapter.get_connect_redirect_url).
• Python 3 is now supported!
• Dropped dependency on (unmaintained?) oauth2 package, in favor of requests-oauthlib.
• account: E-mail confirmation mails generated at signup can now be differentiated from regular e-mail confirmation mails by placing e.g. a welcome message into the account/email/email_confirmation_signup* templates. Thanks to Sam Solomon for the patch.
• account: Moved User instance creation to adapter so that e.g. username generation can be influenced. Thanks to John Bazik for the patch.
• Robert Balfre contributed Dropbox support, thanks!
• socialaccount: Added support for Weibo.
• account: Added support for sending HTML e-mail. Add *_message.html templates and they will be automatically picked up.
• Added support for passing along extra parameters to the OAuth2 authentication calls, such as access_type (Google) or auth_type (Facebook).
• Both the login and signup view now immediately redirect to the login redirect url in case the user was already authenticated.
• Added support for closing down signups in a pluggable fashion, making it easy to hookup your own invitation handling mechanism.
• Added support for passing along extra parameters to the FB.login API call.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Logout no longer happens on GET request. Refer to the LogoutView documentation for more background information. Logging out on GET can be restored by the setting ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_ON_GET. Furthermore, after logging out you are now redirected to ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL instead of rendering the account/logout.html template.
• LOGIN_REDIRECT_URLNAME is now deprecated. Django 1.5 accepts both URL names and URLs for LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL, so we do so as well.
• DefaultAccountAdapter.stash_email_verified is now named stash_verified_email.
• Django 1.4.3 is now the minimal requirement.
• Dropped dependency on (unmaintained?) oauth2 package, in favor of requests-oauthlib. So you will need to update your (virtual) environment accordingly.
• We noticed a very rare bug that affects end users who add Google social login to existing accounts. The symptom is you end up with users who have multiple primary email addresses which conflicts with assumptions made by the code. In addition to fixing the code that allowed duplicates to occur, there is a management command you can run if you think this effects you (and if it doesn't effect you there is no harm in running it anyways if you are unsure):
  • python manage.py account_unsetmultipleprimaryemails
    • Will silently remove primary flags for email addresses that aren't the same as user.email.
    • If no primary EmailAddress is user.email it will pick one at random and print a warning.
• The expiry time, if any, is now stored in a new column SocialToken.expires_at. Migrations are in place.
• Furthermore, Facebook started returning longer tokens, so the maximum token length was increased. Again, migrations are in place.
• Login and signup views have been turned into class-based views.
• The template variable facebook_perms is no longer passed to the "facebook/fbconnect.html" template. Instead, fb_login_options containing all options is passed.

Note worthy changes

• account: user_signed_up signal now emits an optional sociallogin parameter so that receivers can easily differentiate between local and social signups.
• account: Added email_removed signal.
• socialaccount: Populating of User model fields is now centralized in the adapter, splitting up name into first_name and last_name if these were not individually available.
• Ahmet Emre Aladağ contributed a Turkish translation, thanks!
• socialaccount: Added SocialAccountAdapter hook to allow for intervention in social logins.
• google: support for Google's verified_email flag to determine whether or not to send confirmation e-mails.
• Fábio Santos contributed a Portugese translation, thanks!
• socialaccount: Added support for Stack Exchange.
• socialaccount: Added get_social_accounts template tag.
• account: Default URL to redirect to after login can now be overriden via the adapter, both for login and e-mail confirmation redirects.

Backwards incompatible changes

• requests is now a dependency (dropped httplib2).
• Added a new column SocialApp.client_id. The value of key needs to be moved to the new client_id column. The key column is required for Stack Exchange. Migrations are in place to handle all of this automatically.

0.8.3 (2012-12-06)

Note worthy changes

• Markus Thielen contributed a German translation, thanks!
• The site foreign key from SocialApp to Site has been replaced by a ManyToManyField. Many apps can be used across multiple domains (Facebook cannot).
• account: Added adapter class for increased pluggability. Added hook for 3rd party invitation system to by pass e-mail verification (stash_email_verified). Moved sending of mail to adapter.
• account: Added option to completely disable e-mail verification during signup.

Backwards incompatible changes

• The ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION setting is no longer a boolean based setting. Use a string value of "none", "optional" or "mandatory" instead.
• The template "account/password_reset_key_message.txt" has been moved to "account/email/password_reset_key_message.txt". The subject of the message has been moved into a template ("account/email/password_reset_key_subject.txt").
• The site foreign key from SocialApp to Site has been replaced by a ManyToManyField. Many apps can be used across multiple domains (Facebook cannot).

0.8.2 (2012-10-10)

Note worthy changes

• Twitter: Login was broken due to change at in URLs at Twitter, fixed.
• LinkedIn: Added support for passing along the OAuth scope.
• account: Improved e-mail confirmation error handling, no more confusing 404s.
• account: Aldiantoro Nugroho contributed support for a new setting: ACCOUNT_USERNAME_MIN_LENGTH
• socialaccount: Added preliminary support for Mozilla Persona.
• account: Sam Solomon added various signals for email and password related changes.
• account: Usernames may now contain @, +, . and - characters.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Dropped support for CONTACT_EMAIL from the account template context processor. It was never documented and only used in the templates as an example -- there is no need to pollute the allauth settings with that. If your templates rely on it then you will have to put it in a context processor yourself.

0.8.1 (2012-09-03)

Note worthy changes

• Python 2.6.2 compatibility issue, fixed.
• The example project was unintentionally packaged, fixed.

0.8.0 (2012-09-01)

Note worthy changes

• account: Dropped dependency on the emailconfirmation app, integrating its functionality into the account app. This change is of major impact, please refer to the documentation on how to upgrade.
• account: Documented ACCOUNT_USERNAME_REQUIRED. This is actually not a new setting, but it somehow got overlooked in the documentation.
• account/socialaccount: Dropped the _tags postfix from the template tag libraries. Simply use {% load account %} and {% load socialaccount %}.
• Added signup and social login signals.
• SoundCloud: Rabi Alam contributed a SoundCloud provider, thanks!
• account: Sam Solomon cleaned up the e-mail management view: added proper redirect after POSTs, prevent deletion of primary e-mail. Thanks.
• account: When signing up, instead of generating a completely random username a more sensible username is automatically derived from first/last name or e-mail.

Backwards incompatible changes

• allauth now depends on Django 1.4 or higher.
• Major impact: dropped dependency on the emailconfirmation app, as this project is clearly left unmaintained. Important tickets such as pinax-archives/django-email-confirmation#5 are not being addressed. All models and related functionality have been directly integrated into the allauth.account app. When upgrading take care of the following:
  • The emailconfirmation setting EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_DAYS has been replaced by ACCOUNT_EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_EXPIRE_DAYS.
  • Instead of directly confirming the e-mail address upon the GET request the confirmation is now processed as part of an explicit POST. Therefore, a new template account/email_confirm.html must be setup.
  • Existing emailconfirmation data should be migrated to the new tables. For this purpose a special management command is available: python manage.py account_emailconfirmationmigration. This command does not drop the old emailconfirmation tables -- you will have to do this manually yourself. Why not use South? EmailAddress uniqueness depends on the configuration (ACCOUNT_UNIQUE_EMAIL), South does not handle settings dependent database models.
• {% load account_tags %} is deprecated, simply use: {% load account %}
• {% load socialaccount_tags %} is deprecated, simply use: {% load socialaccount %}

0.7.0 (2012-07-18)

Note worthy changes

• Facebook: Facundo Gaich contributed support for dynamically deriving the Facebook locale from the Django locale, thanks!.
• OAuth: All OAuth/OAuth2 tokens are now consistently stored across the board. Cleaned up OAuth flow removing superfluous redirect.
• Facebook: Dropped Facebook SDK dependency.
• socialaccount: DRY focused refactoring of social login.
• socialaccount: Added support for Google OAuth2 and Facebook OAuth2. Fixed GitHub.
• account: Added verified_email_required decorator.
• socialaccount: When signing up, user.first/last_name where always taken from the provider signup data, even when a custom signup form was in place that offered user inputs for editting these fields. Fixed.

0.6.0 (2012-06-20)

Note worthy changes

• account: Added ACCOUNT_USER_DISPLAY to render a user name without making assumptions on how the user is represented.
• allauth, socialaccount: Removed the last remaining bits of hardcodedness with respect to the enabled social authentication providers.
• account: Added ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD setting, supporting login by username, e-mail or both.

Backwards incompatible changes

• The ACCOUNT_EMAIL_AUTHENTICATION setting has been dropped in favor of ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD.
• The login form field is now always named login. This used to by either username or email, depending on the authentication method. If needed, update your templates accordingly.
• The allauth template tags (containing template tags for OpenID, Twitter and Facebook) have been removed. Use the socialaccount template tags instead (specifically: {% provider_login_url ... %}).
• The allauth.context_processors.allauth context processor has been removed, in favor of allauth.socialaccount.context_processors.socialaccount. In doing so, all hardcodedness with respect to providers (e.g allauth.facebook_enabled) has been removed.

0.5.0 (2012-06-08)

Note worthy changes

• account: Added setting ACCOUNT_PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH for specifying the minimum password length.
• socialaccount: Added generic OAuth2 support. Added GitHub support as proof of concept.
• socialaccount: More refactoring: generic provider & OAuth consumer approach. Added LinkedIn support to test this approach.
• socialaccount: Introduced generic models for storing social apps, accounts and tokens in a central and consistent manner, making way for adding support for more account providers. Note: there is more refactoring to be done -- this first step only focuses on the database models.
• account: E-mail confirmation mails are now automatically resent whenever a user attempts to login with an unverified e-mail address (if ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION=True).

Backwards incompatible changes

• Upgrade your settings.INSTALLED_APPS: Replace allauth.<provider> (where provider is one of twitter, facebook or openid) with allauth.socialaccount.providers.<provider>
• All provider related models (FacebookAccount, FacebookApp, TwitterAccount, TwitterApp, OpenIDAccount) have been unified into generic SocialApp and SocialAccount models. South migrations are in place to move the data over to the new models, after which the original tables are dropped. Therefore, be sure to run migrate using South.

0.4.0 (2012-03-25)

Note worthy changes

• account: The render_value parameter of all PasswordInput fields used can now be configured via a setting.
• account: Added support for prefixing the subject of sent emails.
• account: Added support for a plugging in a custom signup form used for additional questions to ask during signup.
• account: is_active is no longer used to keep users with an unverified e-mail address from loging in.
• Dropping uniform dependency. Moved uniform templates into example project.

Backwards incompatible changes

None

0.3.0 (2012-01-19)

Note worthy changes

• The e-mail authentication backend now attempts to use the 'username' parameter as an e-mail 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).
