# NetBox v3.6

## v3.6.0 (FUTURE)

### Breaking Changes

* PostgreSQL 11 is no longer supported (due to adopting Django 4.2). NetBox v3.6 requires PostgreSQL 12 or later.
* The `napalm_driver` and `napalm_args` fields (which were deprecated in v3.5) have been removed from the platform model.

### New Features

#### Relocated Admin Views ([#12589](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/12589), [#12590](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/12590), [#12591](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/12591), [#13044](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/13044))

Management views for the following object types, previously available only under the backend admin interface, have been relocated to the primary user interface:

* Users
* Groups
* Object permissions
* API tokens
* Configuration revisions

The admin UI is scheduled for removal in NetBox v4.0.

#### Configurable Default Permissions ([#13038](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/13038))

Administrators now have the option of configuring a set of default permissions to be applied to _all_ users, regardless of explicit permission or group assignment. This is accomplished by defining the `DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS` configuration parameter.

#### User Bookmarks ([#8248](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/8248))

Users can now bookmark their most commonly-visited objects in NetBox. Bookmarks will display both on the dashboard (if configured) and on a user-specific bookmarks view.

#### Custom Field Choice Sets ([#12988](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/12988))

Select and multi-select custom fields now employ discrete, reusable choice sets containing the valid options for each field. A choice set may be shared by multiple custom fields. Additionally, each choice within a set can now specify both a value and a human-friendly label (see [#13241](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/13241)).

#### Pre-Defined Location Choices for Custom Fields ([#12194](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/12194))

Users now have the option to employ one of several pre-defined choice sets when creating a custom field. These include:

* IATA airport codes
* ISO 3166 country codes
* UN/LOCODE identifiers

Extra choices may also be appended to the pre-defined sets as needed.

#### Restrict Tag Usage by Object Type ([#11541](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/11541))

Tags may now be restricted to use with designated object types. Tags that have no specific object types assigned may be used with any object that supports tag assignment.
