+
+Version 7 breaking changes and upgrading from django-axes version 6
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you use ``settings.AXES_COOLOFF_TIME`` for configuring a callable that returns the cooloff time, it needs to accept at minimum a ``request`` argument of type ``HttpRequest`` from version 7 onwards. Example: ``AXES_COOLOFF_TIME = lambda request: timedelta(hours=2)`` (new call signature) instead of ``AXES_COOLOFF_TIME = lambda: timedelta(hours=2)`` (old cal signature).

+
+
+Version 6 breaking changes and upgrading from django-axes version 5
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you have not specialized ``django-axes`` configuration in any way
+you do not have to update any of the configuration.
+
+The instructions apply to users who have configured ``django-axes`` in their projects
+and have used flags that are deprecated. The deprecated flags will be removed in the future
+but are compatible for at least version 6.0 of ``django-axes``.
+
+The following flags and configuration have changed:
+
+``django-ipware`` has become an optional dependency.
+To keep old behaviour, use ``pip install django-axes[ipware]``
+in your install script or use ``django-axes[ipware]``
+in your requirements file(s) instead of plain ``django-axes``.
+The new ``django-axes`` package does not include ``django-ipware`` by default
+but does use ``django-ipware`` if it is installed
+and no callables for IP address resolution are configured
+with the ``settings.AXES_CLIENT_IP_CALLABLE`` configuration flag.
+
+``django-ipware`` related flags have changed names.
+The old flags have been deprecated and will be removed in the future.
+To keep old behaviour, rename them in your settings file:
+
+- ``settings.AXES_PROXY_ORDER`` is now ``settings.AXES_IPWARE_PROXY_ORDER``,
+- ``settings.AXES_PROXY_COUNT``  is now ``settings.AXES_IPWARE_PROXY_COUNT``,
+- ``settings.AXES_PROXY_TRUSTED_IPS`` is now ``settings.AXES_IPWARE_PROXY_TRUSTED_IPS``, and
+- ``settings.AXES_META_PRECEDENCE_ORDER`` is now ``settings.AXES_IPWARE_META_PRECEDENCE_ORDER``.
+
+``settings.AXES_LOCKOUT_PARAMETERS`` configuration flag has been added which supersedes the following configuration keys:
+
+#. No configuration for failure tracking in the following items (default behaviour).
+#. ``settings.AXES_ONLY_USER_FAILURES``,
+#. ``settings.AXES_LOCK_OUT_BY_COMBINATION_USER_AND_IP``,
+#. ``settings.AXES_LOCK_OUT_BY_USER_OR_IP``, and
+#. ``settings.AXES_USE_USER_AGENT``.
+
+To keep old behaviour with the new flag, configure the following:
+
+#. If you did not use any flags, use ``settings.AXES_LOCKOUT_PARAMETERS = ["ip_address"]``,
+#. If you used ``settings.AXES_ONLY_USER_FAILURES``, use ``settings.AXES_LOCKOUT_PARAMETERS = ["username"]``,
+#. If you used ``settings.AXES_LOCK_OUT_BY_USER_OR_IP``, use ``settings.AXES_LOCKOUT_PARAMETERS = ["username", "ip_address"]``, and
+#. If you used ``settings.AXES_LOCK_OUT_BY_COMBINATION_USER_AND_IP``, use ``settings.AXES_LOCKOUT_PARAMETERS = [["username", "ip_address"]]``,
+#. If you used ``settings.AXES_USE_USER_AGENT``, add ``"user_agent"`` to your list(s) of lockout parameters.
+    #. ``settings.AXES_USE_USER_AGENT`` would become ``settings.AXES_LOCKOUT_PARAMETERS = [["ip_address", "user_agent"]]``
+    #. ``settings.AXES_USE_USER_AGENT`` with ``settings.AXES_ONLY_USER_FAILURES`` would become ``settings.AXES_LOCKOUT_PARAMETERS = [["username", "user_agent"]]``
+    #. ``settings.AXES_USE_USER_AGENT`` with ``settings.AXES_LOCK_OUT_BY_USER_OR_IP`` would become ``settings.AXES_LOCKOUT_PARAMETERS = [["ip_address", "user_agent"], "username"]``
+    #. ``settings.AXES_USE_USER_AGENT`` with ``settings.AXES_LOCK_OUT_BY_COMBINATION_USER_AND_IP`` would become ``settings.AXES_LOCKOUT_PARAMETERS = [["ip_address", "user_agent", "username"]]``
+    #. Other combinations of flags were previously not considered; the flags had precedence over each other as described in the documentation but were less-than-trivial to understand in their previous form. The new form is more explicit and flexible, although it requires more in-depth configuration.
+
+The new lockout parameters define a combined list of attributes to consider when tracking failed authentication attempts.
+They can be any combination of ``username``, ``ip_address`` or ``user_agent`` in a list of strings or list of lists of strings.
+The attributes defined in the lists are combined and saved into the database, cache, or other backend for failed logins.
+The semantics of the evaluation are available in the documentation and ``axes.helpers.get_client_parameters`` callable.
+
+``settings.AXES_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE`` default has been changed from ``403`` (Forbidden) to ``429`` (Too Many Requests).
+To keep the old behavior, set ``settings.AXES_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE = 403`` in your settings.
+
+``axes.handlers.base.AxesBaseHandler.is_admin_site`` has been deprecated due to misleading naming
+in favour of better-named ``axes.handlers.base.AxesBaseHandler.is_admin_request``.
+The old implementation has been kept for backwards compatibility, but will be removed in the future.
+The old implementation checked if a request is NOT made for an admin site if ``settings.AXES_ONLY_ADMIN_SITE`` was set.
+The new implementation correctly checks if a request is made for an admin site.
+
+``axes.handlers.cache.AxesCacheHandler`` has been updated to use atomic ``cache.incr`` calls
+instead of old ``cache.set`` calls in authentication failure tracking
+to enable better parallel backend support for atomic cache backends like Redis and Memcached.

-* ``AXES_FAILURE_LIMIT``: The integer number of login attempts allowed before a
-  record is created for the failed logins. This can also be a callable
-  or a dotted path to callable that returns an integer and all of the following are valid:
-  ``AXES_FAILURE_LIMIT = 42``,

-  ``AXES_FAILURE_LIMIT = 'project.app.get_login_failure_limit'``.
-  Default: ``3``
-* ``AXES_LOCK_OUT_AT_FAILURE``: After the number of allowed login attempts
-  are exceeded, should we lock out this IP (and optional user agent)?
-  Default: ``True``
-* ``AXES_COOLOFF_TIME``: If set, defines a period of inactivity after which
-  old failed login attempts will be cleared.
-  Can be set to a Python timedelta object, an integer, a float, a callable,
-  or a string path to a callable which takes no arguments.
-  If an integer or float, will be interpreted as a number of hours:
-  ``AXES_COOLOFF_TIME = 2`` 2 hours
-  ``AXES_COOLOFF_TIME = 2.0`` 2 hours, 120 minutes
-  ``AXES_COOLOFF_TIME = 1.7`` 1.7 hours, 102 minutes, 6120 seconds
-  Default: ``None``
-* ``AXES_ONLY_ADMIN_SITE``: If ``True``, lock is only enabled for admin site.
-  Admin site is determined by checking request path against the path of ``"admin:index"`` view.
-  If admin urls are not registered in current urlconf, all requests will not be locked.
-  Default: ``False``
-* ``AXES_ONLY_USER_FAILURES`` : If ``True``, only lock based on username,
-  and never lock based on IP if attempts exceed the limit.
-  Otherwise utilize the existing IP and user locking logic.
-  Default: ``False``
-* ``AXES_ENABLE_ADMIN``: If ``True``, admin views for access attempts and
-  logins are shown in Django admin interface.
-  Default: ``True``
-* ``AXES_LOCK_OUT_BY_COMBINATION_USER_AND_IP``: If ``True``, prevent login
-  from IP under a particular username if the attempt limit has been exceeded,
-  otherwise lock out based on IP.
-  Default: ``False``
-* ``AXES_LOCK_OUT_BY_USER_OR_IP``: If ``True``, prevent login
-  from if the attempt limit has been exceeded for IP or username.
-  Default: ``False``
-* ``AXES_USE_USER_AGENT``: If ``True``, lock out and log based on the IP address
-  and the user agent.  This means requests from different user agents but from
-  the same IP are treated differently. This settings has no effect if the
-  ``AXES_ONLY_USER_FAILURES`` setting is active.
-  Default: ``False``
-* ``AXES_HANDLER``: The path to the handler class to use.
-  If set, overrides the default signal handler backend.
-  Default: ``'axes.handlers.database.AxesDatabaseHandler'``
-* ``AXES_CACHE``: The name of the cache for Axes to use.
-  Default: ``'default'``
-* ``AXES_LOCKOUT_TEMPLATE``: If set, specifies a template to render when a
-  user is locked out. Template receives ``cooloff_timedelta``, ``cooloff_time``, ``username`` and ``failure_limit`` as
-  context variables.
-  Default: ``None``
-* ``AXES_LOCKOUT_URL``: If set, specifies a URL to redirect to on lockout. If both
-  ``AXES_LOCKOUT_TEMPLATE`` and ``AXES_LOCKOUT_URL`` are set, the template will be used.
-  Default: ``None``
-* ``AXES_VERBOSE``: If ``True``, you'll see slightly more logging for Axes.
-  Default: ``True``
-* ``AXES_USERNAME_FORM_FIELD``: the name of the form field that contains your users usernames.
-  Default: ``username``
-* ``AXES_USERNAME_CALLABLE``: A callable or a string path to callable that takes
-  two arguments for user lookups: ``def get_username(request: HttpRequest, credentials: dict) -> str: ...``.
-  This can be any callable such as ``AXES_USERNAME_CALLABLE = lambda request, credentials: 'username'``
-  or a full Python module path to callable such as ``AXES_USERNAME_CALLABLE = 'example.get_username``.
-  The ``request`` is a HttpRequest like object and the ``credentials`` is a dictionary like object.
-  ``credentials`` are the ones that were passed to Django ``authenticate()`` in the login flow.
-  If no function is supplied, Axes fetches the username from the ``credentials`` or ``request.POST``
-  dictionaries based on ``AXES_USERNAME_FORM_FIELD``.
-* ``AXES_WHITELIST_CALLABLE``: A callable or a string path to callable that takes
-  two arguments for whitelisting determination and returns True,
-  if user should be whitelisted:
-  ``def is_whitelisted(request: HttpRequest, credentials: dict) -> bool: ...``.
-  This can be any callable similarly to ``AXES_USERNAME_CALLABLE``.
-  Default: ``None``
-* ``AXES_LOCKOUT_CALLABLE``: A callable or a string path to callable that takes
-  two arguments returns a response. For example:
-  ``def generate_lockout_response(request: HttpRequest, credentials: dict) -> HttpResponse: ...``.
-  This can be any callable similarly to ``AXES_USERNAME_CALLABLE``.
-  If not callable is defined, then the default implementation in ``axes.helpers.get_lockout_response``
-  is used for determining the correct lockout response that is sent to the requesting client.
-  Default: ``None``
-* ``AXES_PASSWORD_FORM_FIELD``: the name of the form or credentials field that contains your users password.
-  Default: ``password``
-* ``AXES_SENSITIVE_PARAMETERS``: Configures POST and GET parameter values (in addition to the value of
-  ``AXES_PASSWORD_FORM_FIELD``) to mask in login attempt logging.
-  Default: ``[]``
-* ``AXES_NEVER_LOCKOUT_GET``: If ``True``, Axes will never lock out HTTP GET requests.
-  Default: ``False``
-* ``AXES_NEVER_LOCKOUT_WHITELIST``: If ``True``, users can always login from whitelisted IP addresses.
-  Default: ``False``
-* ``AXES_IP_BLACKLIST``: An iterable of IPs to be blacklisted.
-  Takes precedence over whitelists. For example: ``AXES_IP_BLACKLIST = ['0.0.0.0']``.
-  Default: ``None``
-* ``AXES_IP_WHITELIST``: An iterable of IPs to be whitelisted.
-  For example: ``AXES_IP_WHITELIST = ['0.0.0.0']``.
-  Default: ``None``
-* ``AXES_DISABLE_ACCESS_LOG``: If ``True``, disable writing login and logout access logs to database,
-  so the admin interface will not have user login trail for successful user authentication.
-  Default: ``False``
-* ``AXES_ENABLE_ACCESS_FAILURE_LOG``: If ``True``, enable writing
-  login failure logs to database, so you will have every user login
-  trail for unsuccessful user authentication.  Default: ``False``
-* ``AXES_ACCESS_FAILURE_LOG_PER_USER_LIMIT``: Sets the number of
-  failures to trail for each user. When the access failure log reach
-  this number of records, an automatic removal is ran.  Default:
-  ``1000``
