During serialization, custom fields may be available to a model due to
multi-table inheritance, but might not be available in serialized data
because only direct fields of the model are covered. Now this attribute
is only used if available in serialized data. Models using multi-table
inheritance must modify their serialize_object() method to cover parent
serialization.
* Fixes#18585: filtering circuits by location
This also fixes a related issue where selected filter is not shown in
the filter form.
Changes:

list form
- Adds `location_id` to the Location fieldset on `CircuitFilterForm`

* It's very important that you not submit a pull request until a relevant issue has been opened **and** assigned to you. Otherwise, you risk wasting time on work that may ultimately not be needed.
* New pull requests should generally be based off of the `develop` branch, rather than `master`. The `develop` branch is used for ongoing development, while `master` is used for tracking stable releases. (If you're developing for an upcoming minor release, use `feature` instead.)
* New pull requests should generally be based off of the `main` branch. This branch, in keeping with the [trunk-based development](https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/) approach, is used for ongoing development and bug fixes and always represents the newest stable code, from which releases are periodically branched. (If you're developing for an upcoming minor release, use `feature` instead.)

This guide explains how to configure single sign-on (SSO) support for NetBox using [Google OAuth2](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server) as an authentication backend.
## Google OAuth2 Configuration
1. Log into [console.cloud.google.com](https://console.cloud.google.com/).
2. Create new project for NetBox.
3. Under "APIs and Services" click "OAuth consent screen" and enter the required information.
4. Under "Credentials," click "Create Credentials" and select "OAuth 2.0 Client ID." Select type "Web application."
- "Authorized JavaScript origins" should follow the format `http[s]://<netbox>[:<port>]`
- "Authorized redirect URIs" should follow the format `http[s]://<netbox>[:<port>]/oauth/complete/google-oauth2/`
5. Copy the "Client ID" and "Client Secret" values somewhere convenient.
!!! note
Google requires the NetBox hostname to use a public top-level-domain (e.g. `.com`, `.net`). The use of IP addresses is not permitted (except `127.0.0.1`).
For more information, consult [Google's documentation](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server#prerequisites).
## NetBox Configuration
### 1. Enter configuration parameters
Enter the following configuration parameters in `configuration.py`, substituting your own values:
Restart the NetBox services so that the new configuration takes effect. This is typically done with the command below:
```no-highlight
sudo systemctl restart netbox
```
## Testing
Log out of NetBox if already authenticated, and click the "Log In" button at top right. You should see the normal login form as well as an option to authenticate using Google. Click that link.

You should be redirected to Google's authentication portal. Enter the username/email and password of your test account to continue. You may also be prompted to grant this application access to your account.

If successful, you will be redirected back to the NetBox UI, and will be logged in as the Google user. You can verify this by navigating to your profile (using the button at top right).
This user account has been replicated locally to NetBox, and can now be assigned groups and permissions.

Upgrading from a previous version typically involves database migrations, which must work without errors.
Test the following supported upgrade paths:

### PEP 8 Exceptions
### Linting
NetBox ignores certain PEP8 assertions. These are listed below.
The [ruff](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/) linter is used to enforce code style, and is run automatically by [pre-commit](./getting-started.md#5-install-pre-commit). To invoke `ruff` manually, run:
#### Wildcard Imports

#### Linter Exceptions

NetBox does not enforce a hard restriction on line length, although a maximum length of 120 characters is strongly encouraged for Python code where possible. The maximum length does not apply to HTML templates or to automatically generated code (e.g. database migrations).
##### [F403](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/undefined-local-with-import-star/): Undefined local with import star
Wildcard imports (for example, `from .constants import *`) are acceptable under any of the following conditions:
* The library being import contains only constant declarations (e.g. `constants.py`)
* The library being imported explicitly defines `__all__`
#### Maximum Line Length (E501)
##### [F405](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/undefined-local-with-import-star-usage/): Undefined local with import star usage
NetBox does not restrict lines to a maximum length of 79 characters. We use a maximum line length of 120 characters, however this is not enforced by CI. The maximum length does not apply to HTML templates or to automatically generated code (e.g. database migrations).
#### Line Breaks Following Binary Operators (W504)
Line breaks are permitted following binary operators.
### Enforcing Code Style
The [`pycodestyle`](https://pypi.org/project/pycodestyle/) utility (formerly `pep8`) is used by the CI process to enforce code style. A [pre-commit hook](./getting-started.md#3-enable-pre-commit-hooks) which runs this automatically is included with NetBox. To invoke `pycodestyle` manually, run:

The Git backend requires the [`dulwich`](https://www.dulwich.io/) package, and the S3 backend requires the [`boto3`](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/index.html) package. These must be installed within NetBox's environment to enable these backends.

If you are configuring Git and have `HTTP_PROXIES` configured to use the SOCKS protocol, you will also need to install the [`python_socks`](https://pypi.org/project/python-socks/) Python library.
Each type of remote source has its own configuration parameters. For instance, a git source will ask the user to specify a branch and authentication credentials. Once the source has been created, a synchronization job is run to automatically replicate remote files in the local database.

## v4.2.0 (2025-01-06)
### Breaking Changes
* Support for the Django admin UI has been completely removed. (The Django admin UI was disabled by default in NetBox v4.0.)
* This release drops support for PostgreSQL 12. PostgreSQL 13 or later is required to run this release.
* NetBox has adopted collation-based natural ordering for many models. This may alter the order in which some objects are listed by default.
* Automatic redirects from pre-v4.1 UI views for virtual disks have been removed.
* The `site` and `provider_network` foreign key fields on `circuits.CircuitTermination` have been replaced by the `termination` generic foreign key.
* The `site` foreign key field on `ipam.Prefix` has been replaced by the `scope` generic foreign key.
* The `site` foreign key field on `virtualization.Cluster` has been replaced by the `scope` generic foreign key.
* The `circuit` foreign key field on `circuits.CircuitGroupAssignment` has been replaced by the `member` generic foreign key.
* Obsolete nested REST API serializers have been removed. These were deprecated in NetBox v4.1 under [#17143](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/17143).
### New Features
#### Assign Multiple MAC Addresses per Interface ([#4867](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/4867))
MAC addresses are now managed as independent objects, rather than attributes on device and VM interfaces. NetBox now supports the assignment of multiple MAC addresses per interface, and allows a primary MAC address to be designated for each.
A new UI widget has been introduced to enable conveniently creating new related objects while creating or editing an object. For instance, it is now possible to create and assign a new device role when creating or editing a device from within the device form.
User can now define policies which track the translation of VLAN IDs on IEEE 802.1Q-encapsulated interfaces. Translation policies can be reused across multiple interfaces.
New models have been introduced to support the documentation of virtual circuits as an extension to the physical circuit modeling already supported. This enables users to accurately reflect point-to-point or multipoint virtual circuits atop infrastructure comprising physical circuits and cables.
NetBox now supports the designation of customer VLANs (CVLANs) and service VLANs (SVLANs) to support IEEE 802.1ad/Q-in-Q encapsulation. Each interface can now have it mode designated "Q-in-Q" and be assigned an SVLAN.
