Changed

Major backwards-incompatible database changes were included in this beta release that are intended are to pave the way for us to support MySQL as a database backend in a future update. Of those changes, these are the most notable:

• All IPAM objects with network field types (ipam.Aggregate, ipam.IPAddress, and ipam.Prefix) are no longer hard-coded to use PostgreSQL-only inet or cidr field types and are now using a custom implementation leveraging SQL-standard varbinary field types
• The users.User model has been completely replaced with a custom implementation that no longer requires the use of a secondary database table for storing user configuration.
• Custom Fields have been overhauled for asserting data integrity and improving user experience
  • Custom Fields can no longer be renamed or have their type changed after they have been created.
  • Choices for Custom Fields are now stored as discrete database objects. Choices that are in active use cannot be deleted.

Other changes:

• #78 - Replaced PostgreSQL-specific IP network/address fields with more generic field types

• #122 - Improved installation flow for creating nautobot user and virtualenv
• #131 - Replaced PostgreSQL-specific ArrayField with a more generic JSONArrayField
• #137 - Explicitly disallow Custom Field Name Changes
• #142 - Converted various config validation checks into proper Django checks
• #149 - Unify optional settings documentation for REMOTE_AUTH*/SOCIAL_AUTH*
• #159 - Update documentation for external authentication SSO Backend to get a proper install
• #180 - Revised available Invoke tasks for simplicity and maintainability
• #208 - Custom fields model refactor
