# 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.

#### 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.

#### 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.
