LBP/netbox @ v4.5-beta1-release

v4.5.0 (FUTURE)

Python 3.10 and 3.11 are no longer supported. NetBox now requires Python 3.12 or later.
GraphQL API queries which filter by object IDs or enums must now specify a filter lookup similar to other fields. (For example, id: 123 becomes id: {exact: 123 }.)
Rendering a device or virtual machine configuration is now restricted to users with the render_config permission for the applicable object type.
Retrieval of API token plaintexts is no longer supported. The ALLOW_TOKEN_RETRIEVAL config parameter has been removed.
The owner of an API token can no longer be changed once it has been created.
Config contexts now apply to all child platforms of a parent platform.
The /api/extras/object-types/ REST API endpoint has been removed. (Use /api/core/object-types/ instead.)
The /api/dcim/cable-terminations/ REST API endpoint is now read-only. Cable terminations must be set on cables directly.
The UI view dedicated to swaping A/Z circuit terminations has been removed.
Webhooks no longer specify a model in payload data. (Reference object_type instead, which includes the parent app label.)
The obsolete module core.models.contenttypes has been removed (replaced in v4.4 by core.models.object_types).
The load_yaml() and load_json() utility methods have been removed from the base class for custom scripts.
The experimental HTMX navigation feature has been removed.
The obsolete field is_staff has been removed from the User model.
