v0.4.0

The first release since 2023, and a large one: the package is modernised end to end and the admin gains key exclusions and a properly enforced read-only mode.

Highlights

• Exclude keys from the admin by prefix, regular expression or exact name, globally with REDIS_EXCLUDE_KEY_PREFIXES, REDIS_EXCLUDE_KEY_RE and REDIS_EXCLUDE_KEYS, or per server inside REDIS_SERVERS. Keeps pickled data from libraries such as django-constance out of the admin (#2).
• Read-only, enforced at the endpoints. Add, change and delete views now return 403 and the bulk delete action is gone, instead of relying on every field being read-only.
• Cleaner admin pages. The app is labelled Redis and every object page and breadcrumb shows the key instead of RedisString object (...).

Compatibility

• Python 3.10 to 3.14 and PyPy 3.10 and 3.11. Python 3.6 to 3.9 are no longer supported.
• Django 4.2 to 6.1. Django 4.2, 5.2, 6.0 and 6.1 are tested explicitly, older Django releases are no longer supported.
• New runtime dependency: typing-extensions.

Typing and packaging

• Ships py.typed and passes mypy, basedpyright and pyrefly in strict mode.
• Built with uv_build from pyproject.toml. The sdist carries the tests and the demo settings they need.
• Published from GitHub Actions through PyPI Trusted Publishing with build attestations.

Documentation and demo

• New README and documentation with screenshots, a guided tour, a configuration reference and a development guide: https://django-redis-admin.readthedocs.io/
• python -m test_redis_admin.demo seeds a local Redis with one key of every type and serves the admin with admin / admin.

Quality

• 100% line and branch coverage across the whole Python matrix.
• CI lints every file type (Python, TOML, YAML, Markdown and the workflows themselves), audits dependencies, checks both distributions and runs the tests from the built sdist.
