Change Log

This log shows interesting changes that happen for each version, latest versions first. It can be assumed that translations have been updated each release, and any new translations added.

7.7 (unreleased)

  • Nothing changed yet.

7.6.2 (unreleased)

  • Nothing changed yet.

7.6.1 (2 April 2024)

  • Fix a TypeError when no country is selected, introduced in the Django 5 fix.

7.6 (27 March 2024)

  • Replace deprecated pkg_resources.iter_entry_points with importlib_metadata.
  • Support Django 5.0.

7.5.1 (1 February 2023)

  • Make CountryField queryset filters also work with country codes in addition to names.
  • Switch to pyproject.toml rather than setup.py to fix installation issues with pip 23.0+.

7.5 (12 December 2022)

  • Rename Turkey to Türkiye.
  • A change in v7.4 introduced multi-choice countries being stored sorted and deduplicated. This remains the default behaviour going forwards, but these can now be overridden via arguments on the CountryField.
  • Improve translation fallback handling, fixing a threading race condition that could cause odd translation issues. Thanks to Jan Wróblewski and Antoine Fontaine for their help in resolving this. This also fixes translation issues with older Python 3.6/3.7 versions.
  • Add Python 3.11, drop Python 3.6 and Django 2.2 support.

7.4.2 (10 October 2022)

  • Fix error when using USE_I18N = False.

7.4.1 (7 October 2022)

  • Fix broken translations due to last common country names fix.

7.4 (7 October 2022)

  • Fixed Traditional Chinese translation (needed to be locale/zh_Hant).
  • Update flag of Honduras.
  • Add Django 4.0 and 4.1 to the test matrix, dropping 3.0 and 3.1
  • Add Django Rest Framework 3.13 and 3.14, dropping 3.11.
  • Multi-choice countries are now stored sorted and with duplicates stripped. Thanks flbraun and Jens Diemer!
  • Fix common country names not being honoured in non-English translations (only fixed for Python 3.8+).

7.3.2 (4 March 2022)

  • Fix slowdown introduced in v7.3 caused by always using country name lookups for field comparisons. filter(country="New Zealand") will no longer match now, but instead new __name and __iname filters have been added to achieve this.

7.3.1 (1 March 2022)

  • Typing compatibility fixes for Python <3.9.

7.3 (28 February 2022)

  • Make full English country names work in database lookups, for example, Person.objects.filter(country__icontains="zealand").

7.2.1 (11 May 2021)

  • Fix Latin translations.

7.2 (10 May 2021)

  • Allow the character field to work with custom country codes that are not 2 characters (such as "GB-WLS").
  • Fix compatibility with django-migrations-ignore-attrs library.

7.1 (17 March 2021)

  • Allow customising the str_attr of Country objects returned from a CountryField via a new countries_str_attr keyword argument (thanks C. Quentin).
  • Add pyuca as an extra dependency, so that it can be installed like pip install django-countries[pyuca].
  • Add Django 3.2 support.

7.0 (5 December 2020)

  • Add name_only as an option to the Django Rest Framework serializer field (thanks Miguel Marques).
  • Add in Python typing.
  • Add Python 3.9, Django 3.1, and Django Rest Framework 3.12 support.
  • Drop Python 3.5 support.
  • Improve IOC code functionality, allowing them to be overridden in COUNTRIES_OVERRIDE using the complex dictionary format.

6.1.3 (18 August 2020)

  • Update flag of Mauritania.
  • Add flag for Kosovo (under its temporary code of XK).

6.1.2 (26 March 2020)

  • Fix Python 3.5 syntax error (no f-strings just yet...).

6.1.1 (26 March 2020)

  • Change ISO country import so that "Falkland Islands [Malvinas]" => "Falkland Islands (Malvinas)".

6.1 (20 March 2020)

  • Add a GraphQL object type for a django Country object.

6.0 (28 February 2020)

  • Make DRF CountryField respect blank=False. This is a backwards incompatible change since blank input will now return a validation error (unless blank is explicitly set to True).
  • Fix COUNTRIES_OVERRIDE when using the complex dictionary format and a single name.
  • Add bandit to the test suite for basic security analysis.
  • Drop Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 support.
  • Add Rest Framework 3.10 and 3.11 to the test matrix, remove 3.8.

  • Fixed Simplified Chinese translation (needed to be locale/zh_Hans).
  • Introduce an optional complex format for COUNTRIES_ONLY and COUNTRIES_OVERRIDE to allow for multiple names for a country, a custom three character code, and a custom numeric country code.

5.3.3 (16 February 2019)

  • Add test coverage for Django Rest Framework 3.9.

5.3.2 (27 August 2018)

  • Tests for Django 2.1 and Django Rest Framework 3.8.

5.3.1 (12 June 2018)

  • Fix dumpdata and loaddata for CountryField(multiple=True).

5.3 (20 April 2018)

  • Iterating a Countries object now returns named tuples. This makes things nicer when using {% get_countries %} or using the country list elsewhere in your code.

5.2 (9 March 2018)

  • Ensure Django 2.1 compatibility for CountrySelectWidget.
  • Fix regression introduced into 5.1 when using Django 1.8 and certain queryset lookup types (like __in).

5.1.1 (31 January 2018)

  • Fix some translations that were included in 5.1 but not compiled.

5.1 (30 January 2018)

  • Tests now also cover Django Rest Framework 3.7 and Django 2.0.

  • Add a {% get_countries %} template tag (thanks Matija Čvrk).

5.0 (10 October 2017)

4.6 (16 June 2017)

  • Add a CountryFieldMixin Django Rest Framework serializer mixin that automatically picks the right field type for a CountryField (both single and multi-choice).
  • Validation for Django Rest Framework field (thanks Simon Meers).
  • Allow case-insensitive .by_name() matching (thanks again, Simon).
  • Ensure a multiple-choice CountryField.max_length is enough to hold all countries.
  • Fix inefficient pickling of countries (thanks Craig de Stigter for the report and tests).
  • Stop adding a blank choice when dealing with a multi-choice CountryField.
  • Tests now cover multiple Django Rest Framework versions (back to 3.3).

4.6.2

  • Use transparency layer for flag sprites.

4.5 (18 April 2017)

  • Change rest framework field to be based on ChoiceField.
  • Allow for the rest framework field to deserialize by full country name (specifically the English name for now).

  • Fix for broken CountryField on certain models in Django 1.11. Thanks aktiur for the test case.
  • Update tests to cover Django 1.11

4.3 (29 March 2017)

  • Handle "Czechia" translations in a nicer way (fall back to "Czech Republic" until new translations are available).

  • CountriesField can now be passed a custom countries subclass to use, which combined with the previous change allows for different country choices for different fields.
  • Allow COUNTRIES_ONLY to also accept just country codes in its list (rather than only two-tuples), looking up the translatable country name from the full country list.
  • Fix Montenegro flag size (was 12px high rather than the standard 11px).
  • Fix outdated ISO country name formatting for Bolivia, Gambia, Holy See, Iran, Micronesia, and Venezuela.

3.2 (24 Feb 2015)

  • Fixes initial iteration failing for a fresh Countries object.
