NetBox v3.4

!!! warning "PostgreSQL 11 Required" NetBox v3.4 requires PostgreSQL 11 or later.

Breaking Changes

Device and virtual machine names are no longer case-sensitive. Attempting to create e.g. "device1" and "DEVICE1" will raise a validation error.
The asn field has been removed from the provider model. Please replicate any provider ASN assignments to the ASN model introduced in NetBox v3.1 prior to upgrading.
The noc_contact, admin_contact, and portal_url fields have been removed from the provider model. Please replicate any data remaining in these fields to the contact model introduced in NetBox v3.1 prior to upgrading.
The content_type field on the CustomLink and ExportTemplate models have been renamed to content_types and now supports the assignment of multiple content types.

New Features

New Global Search (#10560)

NetBox's global search functionality has been completely overhauled and replaced by a new cache-based lookup.

CSV-Based Bulk Updates (#7961)

NetBox's CSV-based bulk import functionality has been extended to support also modifying existing objects. When an id column is present in the import form, it will be used to infer the object to be modified, rather than a new object being created. All fields (columns) are optional when modifying existing objects.

A new PluginMenu class has been introduced, which enables a plugin to inject a top-level menu in NetBox's navigation menu. This menu can have one or more groups of menu items, just like core items. Backward compatibility with the existing menu_items has been maintained.
