3.1#

July 28th, 2022

  • Added the ability to select which field is used as a primary key in tokens with the SESAME_PRIMARY_KEY_FIELD setting.

July 11th, 2022

Version 3.0 introduces a new documentation.

Notably, a tutorial and an API reference were added.

Enforced update_last_login as a keyword-only argument in get_user().

update_last_login was documented as a keyword argument. However, it could also be the first positional argument. If you were doing this, you will hit an exception.

Also:

  • Added authenticate() to authenticate users.

  • Added LoginView to log users in.

  • Added compatibility with Django ≥ 4.0.

2.0#

June 6th, 2020

Version 2.0 introduces a faster and shorter token format (v2).

The new format (v2) is enabled by default for new tokens.

The original format (v1) is still supported for backwards-compatibility.

See Tokens design for details.

Changed the default name of the URL parameter to sesame.

If you need to preserve existing URLs, you can set the SESAME_TOKEN_NAME setting "url_auth_token".

Changed the argument expected by authenticate() to sesame.

You’re affected only if you call authenticate(url_auth_token=...) explicitly. If so, change this call to authenticate(sesame=...).
