Changes

Version 2.5.1

Released 2021-03-18

  • Fix compatibility with Python 2.7.

Version 2.5.0

Released 2021-03-18

  • Update to support SQLAlchemy 1.4.

  • SQLAlchemy URL objects are immutable. Some internal methods have changed to return a new URL instead of None. #885

Version 2.4.4

Released 2020-07-14

  • Change base class of meta mixins to type. This fixes an issue caused by a regression in CPython 3.8.4. #852

Version 2.4.3

Released 2020-05-26

  • Deprecate SQLALCHEMY_COMMIT_ON_TEARDOWN as it can cause various design issues that are difficult to debug. Call db.session.commit() directly instead. #216

Version 2.4.2

Released 2020-05-25

  • Fix bad pagination when records are de-duped. #812

Version 2.4.1

Released 2019-09-24

  • Fix AttributeError when using multiple binds with polymorphic models. #651

Version 2.4.0

Released 2019-04-24

  • Make engine configuration more flexible. (#684)

  • Address SQLAlchemy 1.3 deprecations. (#684)

  • get_or_404() and first_or_404() now accept a description parameter to control the 404 message. (#636)

  • Use time.perf_counter for Python 3 on Windows. (#638)

  • Drop support for Python 2.6 and 3.3. (#687)

  • Add an example of Flask’s tutorial project, Flaskr, adapted for Flask-SQLAlchemy. (#720)

Version 2.3.2

Released 2017-10-11

  • Don’t mask the parent table for single-table inheritance models. (#561)

Version 2.3.1

Released 2017-10-05

  • If a model has a table name that matches an existing table in the metadata, use that table. Fixes a regression where reflected tables were not picked up by models. (#551)

  • Raise the correct error when a model has a table name but no primary key. (#556)

  • Fix repr on models that don’t have an identity because they have not been flushed yet. (#555)

  • Allow specifying a max_per_page limit for pagination, to avoid users specifying high values in the request args. (#542)

  • For paginate with error_out=False, the minimum value for page is 1 and per_page is 0. (#558)

Version 2.3.0

Released 2017-09-28

  • Multiple bugs with __tablename__ generation are fixed. Names will be generated for models that define a primary key, but not for single-table inheritance subclasses. Names will not override a declared_attr. PrimaryKeyConstraint is detected. (#541)

  • Passing an existing declarative_base() as model_class to SQLAlchemy.__init__ will use this as the base class instead of creating one. This allows customizing the metaclass used to construct the base. (#546)

  • The undocumented DeclarativeMeta internals that the extension uses for binds and table name generation have been refactored to work as mixins. Documentation is added about how to create a custom metaclass that does not do table name generation. (#546)

  • Model and metaclass code has been moved to a new models module. _BoundDeclarativeMeta is renamed to DefaultMeta; the old name will be removed in 3.0. (#546)

  • Models have a default repr that shows the model name and primary key. (#530)

  • Fixed a bug where using init_app would cause connectors to always use the current_app rather than the app they were created for. This caused issues when multiple apps were registered with the extension. (#547)

Version 2.2

Released 2017-02-27, codename Dubnium

  • Minimum SQLAlchemy version is 0.8 due to use of sqlalchemy.inspect.

  • Added support for custom query_class and model_class as args to the SQLAlchemy constructor. (#328)

  • Allow listening to SQLAlchemy events on db.session. (#364)

  • Allow __bind_key__ on abstract models. (#373)

  • Allow SQLALCHEMY_ECHO to be a string. (#409)

  • Warn when SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI is not set. (#443)

  • Don’t let pagination generate invalid page numbers. (#460)

  • Drop support of Flask < 0.10. This means the db session is always tied to the app context and its teardown event. (#461)

  • Tablename generation logic no longer accesses class properties unless they are declared_attr. (#467)

Version 2.1

Released 2015-10-23, codename Caesium

  • Table names are automatically generated in more cases, including subclassing mixins and abstract models.

  • Allow using a custom MetaData object.

  • Add support for binds parameter to session.

Version 2.0

Released 2014-08-29, codename Bohrium

  • Changed how the builtin signals are subscribed to skip non-Flask-SQLAlchemy sessions. This will also fix the attribute error about model changes not existing.

  • Added a way to control how signals for model modifications are tracked.

  • Made the SignallingSession a public interface and added a hook for customizing session creation.

  • If the bind parameter is given to the signalling session it will no longer cause an error that a parameter is given twice.

  • Added working table reflection support.

  • Enabled autoflush by default.

  • Consider SQLALCHEMY_COMMIT_ON_TEARDOWN harmful and remove from docs.
