10. Changes¶

5.0.7 (2019-06-14)¶

Fix lockout message showing when lockout is disabled with the AXES_LOCK_OUT_AT_FAILURE setting. [mogzol]
Add support for callable AXES_FAILURE_LIMIT setting. [bbayles]

5.0.6 (2019-05-25)¶

Deprecate AXES_DISABLE_SUCCESS_ACCESS_LOG flag in favour of AXES_DISABLE_ACCESS_LOG which has mostly the same functionality. Update documentation to better reflect the behaviour of the flag. [aleksihakli]

5.0.5 (2019-05-19)¶

Change the lockout response calculation to request flagging instead of exception throwing in the signal handler and middleware. Move request attribute calculation from middleware to handler layer. Deprecate axes.request.AxesHttpRequest object type definition. [aleksihakli]
Deprecate the old version 4.x axes.backends.AxesModelBackend class. [aleksihakli]
Improve documentation on attempt tracking, resets, Axes customization, project and component compatibility and integrations, and other things. [aleksihakli]

5.0.4 (2019-05-09)¶

Fix regression with OAuth2 authentication backends not having remote IP addresses set and throwing an exception in cache key calculation. [aleksihakli]

5.0.3 (2019-05-08)¶

Fix django.contrib.auth module login and logout functionality so that they work with the handlers without the an AxesHttpRequest to improve cross compatibility with other Django applications. [aleksihakli]
Change IP address resolution to allow empty or missing addresses. [aleksihakli]
Add error logging for missing request attributes in the handler layer so that users get better indicators of misconfigured applications. [aleksihakli]

5.0.2 (2019-05-07)¶

Add AXES_ENABLED setting for disabling Axes with e.g. tests that use Django test client login, logout, and force_login methods, which do not supply the request argument to views, preventing Axes from functioning correctly in certain test setups. [aleksihakli]

5.0.1 (2019-05-03)¶

Add changelog to documentation. [aleksihakli]

5.0 (2019-05-01)¶

Deprecate Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5 support. [aleksihakli]
Remove automatic decoration and monkey-patching of Django views and forms. Decorators are available for login function and method decoration as before. [aleksihakli]
Use backend, middleware, and signal handlers for tracking login attempts and implementing user lockouts. [aleksihakli, jorlugaqui, joshua-s]
Add AxesDatabaseHandler, AxesCacheHandler, and AxesDummyHandler handler backends for processing user login and logout events and failures. Handlers are configurable with the AXES_HANDLER setting. [aleksihakli, jorlugaqui, joshua-s]
Improve management commands and separate commands for resetting all access attempts, attempts by IP, and attempts by username. New command names are axes_reset, axes_reset_ip and axes_reset_username. [aleksihakli]
Add support for string import for AXES_USERNAME_CALLABLE that supports dotted paths in addition to the old callable type such as a function or a class method. [aleksihakli]
Deprecate one argument call signature for AXES_USERNAME_CALLABLE. From now on, the callable needs to accept two arguments, the HttpRequest and credentials that are supplied to the Django authenticate method in authentication backends. [aleksihakli]
Move axes.attempts.is_already_locked function to axes.handlers.AxesProxyHandler.is_locked. Various other previously undocumented methods have been deprecated and moved inside the project. The new documented public APIs can be considered as stable and can be safely utilized by other projects. [aleksihakli]
Improve documentation layouting and contents. Add public API reference section. [aleksihakli]

4.5.0 (2018-12-25)¶

Improve support for custom authentication credentials using the AXES_USERNAME_FORM_FIELD and AXES_USERNAME_CALLABLE settings. [mastacheata]
Updated behaviour for fetching username from request or credentials: If no AXES_USERNAME_CALLABLE is configured, the optional credentials that are supplied to the axes utility methods are now the default source for client username and the HTTP request POST is the fallback for fetching the user information. AXES_USERNAME_CALLABLE implements an alternative signature with two arguments request, credentials in addition to the old request call argument signature in a backwards compatible fashion. [aleksihakli]
Add official support for the Django 2.1 version and Python 3.7. [aleksihakli]
Improve the requirements, documentation, tests, and CI setup. [aleksihakli]

Log out only if user was logged in [zoten]
Support for floats in cooloff time (i.e: 0.1 == 6 minutes) [marianov]
Limit amount of POST data logged (#73). Limiting the length of value is not enough, as there could be arbitrary number of them, or very long key names. [peterkuma]
Improve get_ip to try for real ip address [7wonders]
Change IPAddressField to GenericIPAddressField. When using a PostgreSQL database and the client does not pass an IP address you get an inet error. This is a known problem with PostgreSQL and the IPAddressField. https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/5622. It can be fixed by using a GenericIPAddressField instead. [polvoblanco]
Get first X-Forwarded-For IP [tutumcloud]
White listing IP addresses behind reverse proxy. Allowing some IP addresses to have direct access to the app even if they are behind a reverse proxy. Those IP addresses must still be on a white list. [ericbulloch]
Reduce logging of reverse proxy IP lookup and use configured logger. Fixes #76. Instead of logging the notice that django.axes looks for a HTTP header set by a reverse proxy on each attempt, just log it one-time on first module import. Also use the configured logger (by default axes.watch_login) for the message to be more consistent in logging. [eht16]
