* Fix `read_only` + `default` `unique_together` validation. [5922][gh5922]
* authtoken.views import coreapi from rest_framework.compat, not directly. [5921][gh5921]
* Docs: Add missing argument 'detail' to Route [5920][gh5920]

**Date**: [4th April 2018][3.8.1-milestone]

* Use old `url_name` behavior in route decorators [5915][gh5915]

 For `list_route` and `detail_route` maintain the old behavior of `url_name`,
 basing it on the `url_path` instead of the function name.

**Date**: [3rd April 2018][3.8.0-milestone]


* **Breaking Change**: Alter `read_only` plus `default` behaviour. [5886][gh5886]

 `read_only` fields will now **always** be excluded from writable fields.

 Previously `read_only` fields with a `default` value would use the `default` for create and update operations.

 In order to maintain the old behaviour you may need to pass the value of `read_only` fields when calling `save()` in
 the view:

     def perform_create(self, serializer):
         serializer.save(owner=self.request.user)

 Alternatively you may override `save()` or `create()` or `update()` on the serialiser as appropriate.

* Correct allow_null behaviour when required=False [5888][gh5888]

 Without an explicit `default`, `allow_null` implies a default of `null` for outgoing serialisation. Previously such
 fields were being skipped when read-only or otherwise not required.

 **Possible backwards compatibility break** if you were relying on such fields being excluded from the outgoing
 representation. In order to restore the old behaviour you can override `data` to exclude the field when `None`.

 For example:

     property
     def data(self):
         """
         Drop `maybe_none` field if None.
         """
         data = super().data
         if 'maybe_none' in data and data['maybe_none'] is None:
             del data['maybe_none']
         return data

* Refactor dynamic route generation and improve viewset action introspectibility. [5705][gh5705]

 `ViewSet`s have been provided with new attributes and methods that allow
 it to introspect its set of actions and the details of the current action.

 * Merged `list_route` and `detail_route` into a single `action` decorator.
 * Get all extra actions on a `ViewSet` with `.get_extra_actions()`.
 * Extra actions now set the `url_name` and `url_path` on the decorated method.
 * `url_name` is now based on the function name, instead of the `url_path`,
   as the path is not always suitable (e.g., capturing arguments in the path).
 * Enable action url reversing through `.reverse_action()` method (added in 3.7.4)
 * Example reverse call: `self.reverse_action(self.custom_action.url_name)`
 * Add `detail` initkwarg to indicate if the current action is operating on a
   collection or a single instance.

 Additional changes:

 * Deprecated `list_route` & `detail_route` in favor of `action` decorator with `detail` boolean.
 * Deprecated dynamic list/detail route variants in favor of `DynamicRoute` with `detail` boolean.
 * Refactored the router's dynamic route generation.
 * `list_route` and `detail_route` maintain the old behavior of `url_name`,
   basing it on the `url_path` instead of the function name.
