Hello all, Since Django 1.4, we've added GenericIPAddressField, next to IPAddressField. The new GenericIPAddressField supports IPv4 as well as IPv6 addresses, and does normalisation of IPv6 addresses. It can also be configured to only accept IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
As far as I know, IPAddressField has no current features that are not also available in a GenericIPAddressField. Therefore, I suggest that we, some time from now, deprecate IPAddressField, in favour of GenericIPAddressField. For users, it is database-dependent whether IPAddressFields can just be replaced with GenericIPAddressFields: on PostgreSQL and SQLite, no changes are needed; schema changes are needed on MySQL and Oracle. Examples are listed in the 1.6 release notes[1], as we just made the same change for comments. Is there anyone who sees any issues with this? I'm also not sure what timeline would be appropriate. I have created ticket #20439[2] to keep track of this issue. cheers, Erik [1] https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.6/#storage-of-ip-addresses-in-the-comments-app [2] https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20439 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
