Twisted Core 15.5.0 (2015-11-28)
================================

This is the last Twisted release where Python 2.6 is supported, on any
platform. Python 3.5 (on POSIX) support has been added.

This release introduces changes that are required for Conch's SSH
implementation to work with OpenSSH 6.9+ servers.

Features
--------
 - twisted.python.url is a new abstraction for URLs, supporting RFC
   3987 IRIs. (#5388)
 - twisted.python.logfile is now ported to Python 3. (#6749)
 - twisted.python.zippath has been ported to Python 3. (#6917)
 - twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions and
   twisted.internet.ssl.optionsForClientTLS now take a
   acceptableProtocols parameter that enables negotiation of the next
   protocol to speak after the TLS handshake has completed. This field
   advertises protocols over both NPN and ALPN. Also added new
   INegotiated interface for TLS interfaces that support protocol
   negotiation. This interface adds a negotiatedProtocol property that
   reports what protocol, if any, was negotiated in the TLS handshake.
   (#7860)
 - twisted.python.urlpath.URLPath now operates correctly on Python 3,
   using bytes instead of strings, and introduces the fromBytes
   constructor to assist with creating them cross-version. (#7994)
 - twisted.application.strports is now ported to Python 3. (#8011)
 - twistd (the Twisted Daemon) is now ported to Python 3. (#8012)
 - Python 3.5 is now supported on POSIX platforms. (#8042)
 - twisted.internet.serialport is now ported on Python 3. (#8099)

Bugfixes
--------
 - twisted.logger.formatEvent now can format an event if it was
   flattened (twisted.logger.eventAsJSON does this) and has text after
   the last replacement field. (#8003)
 - twisted.cred.checkers.FilePasswordDB now logs an error if the
   credentials db file does not exist, no longer raises an unhandled
   error. (#8028)
 - twisted.python.threadpool.ThreadPool now properly starts enough
   threads to do any work scheduled before ThreadPool.start() is
   called, such as when work is scheduled in the reactor via
   reactor.callInThread() before reactor.run(). (#8090)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
 - Twisted Development test standard documentation now contain
   information about avoiding test data files. (#6535)
 - The documentation for twisted.internet.defer.DeferredSemaphore now
   describes the actual usage for limit and tokens instance
   attributes. (#8024)

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
 - twisted.python._initgroups, a C extension, has been removed and
   stdlib support is now always used instead. (#5861)
 - Python 2.6 is no longer supported. (#8017)
 - twisted.python.util.OrderedDict is now deprecated, and uses of it
   in Twisted are replaced with collections.OrderedDict. (#8051)
 - twisted.persisted.sob.load, twisted.persisted.sob.loadValueFromFile
   and twisted.persisted.sob.Persistent.save() are now deprecated when
   used with a passphrase. The encyption used by these methods are
   weak. (#8081)
 - twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpointStringParser has
   been removed and Twisted will no longer use parsers implementing
   this interface. (#8094)

================================

Features
--------
 - twisted.web.http.Request.addCookie now supports the httpOnly
   attribute which when set on cookies prevents the browser exposing

 - twisted.python.modules is now ported to Python 3. (#7804)
 - twisted.python.filepath.FilePath now supports Unicode (text) paths.
   Like the os module, instantiating it with a Unicode path will

   event with a message that raises when `repr()` is called on it.
   Specifically: use `textFromEventDict()` instead of a separate (and
   inferior) message rendering implementation. (#6569)
 - twisted.cred.credentials.DigestedCredentials incorrectly handled
   md5-sess hashing according to the RFC, which has now been fixed.
   (#7835)
 - Fixed an issue with twisted.internet.task.LoopingCall.withCount
   where sometimes the passed callable would be invoked with "0" when
   we got close to tricky floating point boundary conditions. (#7836)
 - twisted.internet.defer now properly works with the new logging
   system. (#7851)
 - Change `messages` key to `log_io` for events generated by
   `LoggingFile`. (#7852)
 - twisted.logger had literal characters in docstrings that are now
   quoted. (#7854)
 - twisted.logger now correctly formats a log event with a key named
   `message` when passed to a legacy log observer. (#7855)

-------------------------
 - tkunzip and tapconvert in twisted.scripts were deprecated in 11.0
   and 12.1 respectively, and are now removed. (#6747)

Twisted Core 14.0.0 (2014-05-08)
================================

Features
--------
 - twisted.internet.interfaces.IUDPTransport - and that interface's
   implementations in Twisted - now supports enabling broadcasting.
   (#454)
 - trial's TestCase will now report a test method as an error if that
   test method is a generator function, preventing an issue when a
   user forgets to decorate a test method with defer.inlineCallbacks,
   causing the test method to not run. (#3917)
 - twisted.positioning, a new API for positioning systems such as GPS,
   has been added. It comes with an implementation of NMEA, the most
   common wire protocol for GPS devices. It will supersede
   twisted.protoocols.gps. (#3926)
 - The new interface twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpoint
   StringParserWithReactor will supply the reactor to its
   parseStreamClient method, passed along from
   twisted.internet.endpoints.clientFromString. (#5069)
 - IReactorUDP.listenUDP, IUDPTransport.write and
   IUDPTransport.connect now accept ipv6 address literals. (#5086)
 - A new API, twisted.internet.ssl.optionsForClientTLS, allows clients
   to specify and verify the identity of the peer they're communicating
   with.  When used with the service_identity library from PyPI, this
   provides support for service identity verification from RFC 6125, as
   well as server name indication from RFC 6066. (#5190)
 - Twisted's TLS support now provides a way to ask for user-configured
   trust roots rather than having to manually configure such
   certificate authority certificates yourself.
   twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now accepts a new argument,
   trustRoot, which combines verification flags and trust sources, as
   well as a new function that provides a value for that argument,
   twisted.internet.ssl.platformTrust, which allows using the trusted
   platform certificate authorities from OpenSSL for certificate
   verification. (#5446)
 - Constants are now comparable/orderable based on the order in which
   they are defined. (#6523)
 - "setup.py install" and "pip install" now work on Python 3.3,
   installing the subset of Twisted that has been ported to Python 3.
   (#6539)
 - twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now supports ECDHE for
   servers by default on pyOpenSSL 0.14 and later, if the underlying
   versions of cryptography.io and OpenSSL support it. (#6586)
 - twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now allows the user to set
   acceptable ciphers and uses secure ones by default. (#6663)
 - The Deferred returned by
   twisted.internet.defer.DeferredFilesystemLock.deferUntilLocked can
   now be cancelled. (#6720)
 - twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now enables TLSv1.1 and
   TLSv1.2 by default (in addition to TLSv1.0) if the underlying
   version of OpenSSL supports these protocol versions. (#6772)
 - twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now supports Diffie-Hellman
   key exchange. (#6799)
 - twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now disables TLS
   compression to avoid CRIME attacks and, for servers, uses server
   preference to choose the cipher. (#6801)
 - SSL server endpoint string descriptions now support the
   specification of Diffie-Hellman key exchange parameter files.
   (#6924)
 - twisted.python.reflect.requireModule was added to handle
   conditional imports of python modules and work around pyflakes
   warnings of unused imports code. (#7014)

Bugfixes
--------
 - If a ProcessProtocol.processExited method raised an exception a
   broken process handler would be left in the global process state
   leading to errors later on. This has been fixed and now an error
   will be logged instead. (#5151)
 - Twisted now builds on Solaris. Note that lacking a Buildbot slave
   (see http://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/boxes-supported) Solaris is
   not a supported Twisted platform. (#5728)
 - twisted.internet.utils is now correctly installed on Python 3.
   (#6929)
 - twisted.python.threadpool.ThreadPool no longer starts new workers
   when its pool size is changed while the pool is not running.
   (#7011)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
 - Twisted now uses the Sphinx documentation generator for its
   narrative documentation, which means that the source format for
   narrative documentation has been converted to ReStructuredText.
   (#4500)
 - The Sphinx documentation is now also configured to allow
   intersphinx links to standard library documentation. (#4582)
 - The docstring for twisted.internet.task.react now better documents
   the main parameter (#6071)
 - The writing standard now explicitly mandates the usage of
   ungendered pronouns. (#6858)

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
 - test_import.py was removed as it was redundant. (#2053)
 - Support for versions of pyOpenSSL older than 0.10 has been removed.
   Affected users should upgrade pyOpenSSL. (#5014)
 - twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpointStringParser is
   now deprecated in favor of twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClien
   tEndpointStringParserWithReactor. (#5069)
 - unsignedID and setIDFunction, previously part of
   twisted.python.util and deprecated since 13.0, have now been
   removed. (#6707)
 - FTPClient.changeDirectory was deprecated in 8.2 and is now removed.
   (#6759)
 - twisted.internet.stdio.StandardIO.closeStdin, an alias for
   loseWriteConnection only available on POSIX and deprecated since
   2.1, has been removed. (#6785)
 - twisted.python.reflect.getcurrent is now deprecated and must not be
   used. twisted.python.reflect.isinst is now deprecated in favor of
   the built-in isinstance. (#6859)

Twisted Names 14.0.0 (2014-05-08)
=================================

Features
--------
 - twisted.names.root.Resolver now accepts a resolverFactory argument,
   which makes it possible to control how root.Resolver performs
   iterative queries to authoritative nameservers. (#6095)
 - twisted.names.dns.Message now has a repr method which shows only
   those instance flags, fields and sections which are set to non-
   default values. (#6847)
 - twisted.names.dns.Message now support rich comparison. (#6848)

Bugfixes
--------
 - twisted.names.server.DNSServerFactory now responds with messages
   whose flags and fields are reset to their default values instead of
   copying these from the request. This means that AD and CD flags,
   and EDNS OPT records in the request are no longer mirrored back to
   the client. (#6645)

   deployed behind a reverse proxy. (#1468)
 - twisted.web.client.Agent now uses
   twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions for SSL/TLS and benefits
   from its continuous improvements. (#6893)

Bugfixes
--------
 - twisted.web.client.Agent now correctly manage flow-control on
   pooled connections, and therefore requests will no longer hang
   sometimes when deliverBody is not called synchronously within the
   callback on Request. (#6751)
 - twisted.web.client.Agent now verifies that the provided server
   certificate in a TLS connection is trusted by the platform. (#7042)
 - When requesting an HTTPS URL with twisted.web.client.Agent, the
   hostname of the presented certificate will be checked against the
   requested hostname; mismatches will now result in an error rather
   than a man-in-the-middle opportunity for attackers.  This may break
   existing code that incorrectly depended on insecure behavior, but
   such code was erroneous and should be updated.  (#4888)

================================

Features

 - TCP and TLS transports now support abortConnection() which, unlike
   loseConnection(), always closes the connection immediately. (#78)
 - Failures received over PB when tracebacks are disabled now display
   the wrapped exception value when they are printed. (#581)

   observers. (#638)
 - The default reactor is now poll(2) on platforms that support it.
   (#2234)
 - twisted.internet.defer.inlineCallbacks(f) now raises TypeError when
   f returns something other than a generator or uses returnValue as a
   non-generator. (#2501)
 - twisted.python.usage.Options now supports performing Zsh tab-
   completion on demand. Tab-completion for Twisted commands is
   supported out-of-the-box on any recent zsh release. Third-party
   commands may take advantage of zsh completion by copying the
   provided stub file. (#3078)
 - twisted.protocols.portforward now uses flow control between its
   client and server connections to avoid having to buffer an
   unbounded amount of data when one connection is slower than the
   other. (#3350)
 - On Windows, the select, IOCP, and Gtk2 reactors now implement
   IReactorWin32Events (most notably adding support for serial ports
   to these reactors). (#4862)
 - twisted.python.failure.Failure no longer captures the state of
   locals and globals of all stack frames by default, because it is
   expensive to do and rarely used.  You can pass captureVars=True to
   Failure's constructor if you want to capture this data. (#5011)
 - twisted.web.client now supports automatic content-decoding via
   twisted.web.client.ContentDecoderAgent, gzip being supported for
   now. (#5053)
 - Protocols may now implement ILoggingContext to customize their
   logging prefix.  twisted.protocols.policies.ProtocolWrapper and the
   endpoints wrapper now take advantage of this feature to ensure the
   application protocol is still reflected in logs. (#5062)
 - AMP's raw message-parsing performance was increased by
   approximately 12%. (#5075)
 - Twisted is now installable on PyPy, because some incompatible C
   extensions are no longer built. (#5158)
 - twisted.internet.defer.gatherResults now accepts a consumeErrors
   parameter, with the same meaning as the corresponding argument for
   DeferredList. (#5159)
 - Added RMD (remove directory) support to the FTP client. (#5259)
 - Server factories may now implement ILoggingContext to customize the
   name that is logged when the reactor uses one to start listening on
   a port. (#5292)
 - The implementations of ITransport.writeSequence will now raise
   TypeError if passed unicode strings. (#3896)
 - iocp reactor now operates correctly on 64 bit Python runtimes.
   (#4669)
 - twistd ftp now supports the cred plugin. (#4752)
 - twisted.python.filepath.FilePath now has an API to retrieve the
   permissions of the underlying file, and two methods to determine
   whether it is a block device or a socket.  (#4813)
 - twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase is now compatible with Python 2.7's
   assertDictEqual method. (#5291)

Bugfixes
--------
 - The IOCP reactor now does not try to erroneously pause non-
   streaming producers. (#745)
 - Unicode print statements no longer blow up when using Twisted's
   logging system. (#1990)
 - Process transports on Windows now support the `writeToChild` method
   (but only for stdin). (#2838)
 - Zsh tab-completion of Twisted commands no longer relies on
   statically generated files, but instead generates results on-the-
   fly - ensuring accurate tab-completion for the version of Twisted
   actually in use. (#3078)
 - LogPublishers don't use the global log publisher for reporting
   broken observers anymore. (#3307)
 - trial and twistd now add the current directory to sys.path even
   when running as root or on Windows. mktap, tapconvert, and
   pyhtmlizer no longer add the current directory to sys.path. (#3526)
 - twisted.internet.win32eventreactor now stops immediately if
   reactor.stop() is called from an IWriteDescriptor.doWrite
   implementation instead of delaying shutdown for an arbitrary period
   of time. (#3824)
 - twisted.python.log now handles RuntimeErrors more gracefully, and
   always restores log observers after an exception is raised. (#4379)
 - twisted.spread now supports updating new-style RemoteCache
   instances. (#4447)
 - twisted.spread.pb.CopiedFailure will no longer be thrown into a
   generator as a (deprecated) string exception but as a
   twisted.spread.pb.RemoteException. (#4520)
 - trial now gracefully handles the presence of objects in sys.modules
   which respond to attributes being set on them by modifying
   sys.modules. (#4748)
 - twisted.python.deprecate.deprecatedModuleAttribute no longer
   spuriously warns twice when used to deprecate a module within a
   package.  This should make it easier to write unit tests for
   deprecated modules. (#4806)
 - When pyOpenSSL 0.10 or newer is available, SSL support now uses
   Twisted for all I/O and only relies on OpenSSL for cryptography,
   avoiding a number of tricky, potentially broken edge cases. (#4854)
 - IStreamClientEndpointStringParser.parseStreamClient now correctly
   describes how it will be called by clientFromString (#4956)
 - twisted.internet.defer.Deferreds are 10 times faster at handling
   exceptions raised from callbacks, except when setDebugging(True)
   has been called. (#5011)
 - twisted.python.filepath.FilePath.copyTo now raises OSError(ENOENT)
   if the source path being copied does not exist. (#5017)
 - twisted.python.modules now supports iterating over namespace
   packages without yielding duplicates. (#5030)
 - reactor.spawnProcess now uses the resource module to guess the
   maximum possible open file descriptor when /dev/fd exists but gives
   incorrect results. (#5052)
 - The memory BIO TLS/SSL implementation now supports producers
   correctly. (#5063)
 - twisted.spread.pb.Broker no longer creates an uncollectable
   reference cycle when the logout callback holds a reference to the
   client mind object. (#5079)
 - twisted.protocols.tls, and SSL/TLS support in general, now do clean
   TLS close alerts when disconnecting. (#5118)
 - twisted.persisted.styles no longer uses the deprecated allYourBase
   function (#5193)
 - Stream client endpoints now start (doStart) and stop (doStop) the
   factory passed to the connect method, instead of a different
   implementation-detail factory. (#5278)
 - SSL ports now consistently report themselves as SSL rather than TCP
   when logging their close message. (#5292)
 - Serial ports now deliver connectionLost to the protocol when
   closed. (#3690)
 - win32eventreactor now behaves better in certain rare cases in which
   it previously would have failed to deliver connection lost
   notification to a protocol. (#5233)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
 - Test driven development with Twisted and Trial is now documented in
   a how-to. (#2443)
 - A new howto-style document covering twisted.protocols.amp has been
   added. (#3476)
 - Added sample implementation of a Twisted push producer/consumer
   system. (#3835)
 - The "Deferred in Depth" tutorial now includes accurate output for
   the deferred_ex2.py example. (#3941)
 - The server howto now covers the Factory.buildProtocol method.
   (#4761)
 - The testing standard and the trial tutorial now recommend the
   `assertEqual` form of assertions rather than the `assertEquals` to
   coincide with the standard library unittest's preference. (#4989)
 - twisted.python.filepath.FilePath's methods now have more complete
   API documentation (docstrings). (#5027)
 - The Clients howto now uses buildProtocol more explicitly, hopefully
   making it easier to understand where Protocol instances come from.
   (#5044)

   (#2661)
 - twisted.python.zshcomp is now deprecated in favor of the tab-
   completion system in twisted.python.usage (#3078)

 - twisted.conch.manhole now supports CTRL-A and CTRL-E to trigger
   HOME and END functions respectively. (#5252)

Bugfixes
--------
 - When run from an unpacked source tarball or a VCS checkout, the
   bin/conch/ scripts will now use the version of Twisted they are
   part of. (#3526)
 - twisted.conch.insults.window.ScrolledArea now passes no extra
   arguments to object.__init__ (which works on more versions of
   Python). (#4197)
 - twisted.conch.telnet.ITelnetProtocol now has the correct signature
   for its unhandledSubnegotiation() method. (#4751)
 - twisted.conch.ssh.userauth.SSHUserAuthClient now more closely
   follows the RFC 4251 definition of boolean values when negotiating
   for key-based authentication, allowing better interoperability with
   other SSH implementations. (#5241)
 - twisted.conch.recvline.RecvLine now ignores certain function keys
   in its keystrokeReceived method instead of raising an exception.
   (#5246)

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
 - The --user option to `twistd manhole' has been removed as it was
   dead code with no functionality associated with it. (#5283)

 - twisted.names.dns.Message now parses records of unknown type into
   instances of a new `UnknownType` class. (#4603)

Bugfixes

   and raises an exception.  Previously it would follow the loop
   forever, allowing a remote denial of service attack against any
   twisted.names client or server. (#5064)
 - twisted.names.hosts.Resolver now supports IPv6 addresses; its
   lookupAddress method now filters them out and its lookupIPV6Address
   method is now implemented. (#5098)

   closed. (#3796)
 - twisted.web.server now omits the default Content-Type header from
   NOT MODIFIED responses. (#4156)
 - twisted.web.server now responds correctly to 'Expect: 100-continue'
   headers, although this is not yet usefully exposed to user code.
   (#4673)
 - twisted.web.client.Agent no longer raises an exception if a server
   responds and closes the connection before the request has been

Twisted Core 11.0.0 (2011-04-01)
================================

Features
--------
 - The reactor is not restartable, but it would previously fail to
   complain. Now, when you restart an unrestartable reactor, you get
   an exception. (#2066)
 - twisted.plugin now only emits a short log message, rather than a
   full traceback, if there is a problem writing out the dropin cache
   file. (#2409)
 - Added a 'replacement' parameter to the
   'twisted.python.deprecate.deprecated' decorator.  This allows
   deprecations to unambiguously specify what they have been
   deprecated in favor of. (#3047)
 - Added access methods to FilePath for FilePath.statinfo's st_ino,
   st_dev, st_nlink, st_uid, and st_gid fields.  This is in
   preparation for the deprecation of FilePath.statinfo. (#4712)
 - IPv4Address and UNIXAddress now have a __hash__ method. (#4783)
 - twisted.protocols.ftp.FTP.ftp_STOR now catches `FTPCmdError`s
   raised by the file writer, and returns the error back to the
   client. (#4909)

Bugfixes
--------
 - twistd will no longer fail if a non-root user passes --uid 'myuid'
   as a command-line argument. Instead, it will emit an error message.
   (#3172)

   (#3233)
 - trial can now load test methods from multiple classes, even if the
   methods all happen to be inherited from the same base class.

   particular render_FOO method is missing. (#3678)
 - HEAD requests made to resources whose HEAD handling defaults to
   calling render_GET now always receive a response with no body.
   (#3684)
 - trial now loads decorated test methods whether or not the decorator
   preserves the original method name. (#3909)

   Unicode strings in the system environment (#3964)
 - When C-extensions are not complied for twisted, on python2.4, skip
   a test in twisted.internet.test.test_process that may hang due to a
   SIGCHLD related problem. Running 'python setup.py build_ext
   --inplace' will compile the extension and cause the test to both
   run and pass. (#4331)
 - twisted.python.logfile.LogFile now raises a descriptive exception
   when passed a log  directoy which does not exist. (#4701)
 - Fixed a bug where Inotify will fail to add a filepatch to watchlist
   after it has been added/ignored previously. (#4708)

   (#4817)
 - twisted.internet.task.Clock now sorts the list of pending calls
   before and after processing each call (#4823)

   twisted.words.protocols.jabber.xmlstream.__all__. (#4856)
 - twisted.internet.process now detects the most appropriate mechanism
   to use for detecting the open file descriptors on a system, getting
   Twisted working on FreeBSD even when fdescfs is not mounted.
   (#4881)
 - twisted.words.services referenced nonexistent
   twisted.words.protocols.irc.IRC_NOSUCHCHANNEL. This has been fixed.
   Related code has also received test cases. (#4915)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
 - The INSTALL file now lists all of Twisted's dependencies. (#967)
 - Added the stopService and startService methods to all finger
   example files. (#3375)
 - Missing reactor.run() calls were added in the UDP and client howto
   documents. (#3834)
 - The maxRetries attribute of
   twisted.internet.protocols.RetryingClientFactory now has API
   documentation. (#4618)
 - Lore docs pointed to a template that no longer existed, this has
   been fixed. (#4682)
 - The `servers` argument to `twisted.names.client.createResolver` now
   has more complete API documentation. (#4713)
 - Linked to the Twisted endpoints tutorial from the Twisted core
   howto list.  (#4773)

 - The Quotes howto is now more clear in its PYTHONPATH setup
   instructions. (#4785)
 - The API documentation for DeferredList's fireOnOneCallback
   parameter now gives the correct order of the elements of the result
   tuple. (#4882)

   removed from twisted.internet.address.IPv4Address and
   twisted.internet.address.UNIXAddress classes UNIXAddress and
   IPv4Address properties _bwHack are now deprecated in
   twisted.internet.address (#4817)
 - twisted.python.reflect.allYourBase is now no longer used, replaced
   with inspect.getmro (#4928)

Twisted Conch 11.0.0 (2011-04-01)
=================================

Bugfixes
--------
 - The transport for subsystem protocols now declares that it
   implements ITransport and implements the getHost and getPeer
   methods. (#2453)
 - twisted.conch.ssh.transport.SSHTransportBase now responds to key
   exchange messages at any time during a connection (instead of only
   at connection setup).  It also queues non-key exchange messages
   sent during key exchange to avoid corrupting the connection state.
   (#4395)
 - Importing twisted.conch.ssh.common no longer breaks pow(base, exp[,
   modulus]) when the gmpy package is installed and base is not an
   integer. (#4803)
 - twisted.conch.ls.lsLine now returns a time string which does not
   consider the locale. (#4937)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
 - Changed the man page for ckeygen to accurately reflect what it
   does, and corrected its synposis so that a second "ckeygen" is not
   a required part of the ckeygen command line.  (#4738)

Other
-----
 - #2112

   authentication type-specific help options. (#4740)

Bugfixes
--------
 - twisted.mail.imap4.IMAP4Server now generates INTERNALDATE strings
   which do not consider the locale. (#4937)

Improved Documentation
----------------------

Twisted Web 11.0.0 (2011-04-01)
===============================

Features
--------
 - twisted.web._newclient.HTTPParser (and therefore Agent) now handles
   HTTP headers delimited by bare LF newlines. (#3833)
 - twisted.web.client.downloadPage now accepts the `afterFoundGet`
   parameter, with the same meaning as the `getPage` parameter of the
   same name. (#4364)
 - twisted.web.xmlrpc.Proxy constructor now takes additional 'timeout'
   and 'reactor' arguments. The 'timeout' argument defaults to 30
   seconds. (#4741)
 - Twisted Web now has a templating system, twisted.web.template,
   which is a direct, simplified derivative of Divmod Nevow. (#4939)

Bugfixes
--------
 - HTTPPageGetter now adds the port to the host header if it is not
   the default for that scheme. (#3857)
 - twisted.web.http.Request.write now raises an exception if it is
   called after response generation has already finished. (#4317)
 - twisted.web.client.HTTPPageGetter and twisted.web.client.getPage
   now no longer make two requests when using afterFoundGet. (#4760)
 - twisted.web.twcgi no longer adds an extra "content-type" header to
   CGI responses. (#4786)
 - twisted.web will now properly specify an encoding (UTF-8) on error,
   redirect, and directory listing pages, so that IE7 and previous
   will not improperly guess the 'utf7' encoding in these cases.
   Please note that Twisted still sets a *default* content-type of
   'text/html', and you shouldn't rely on that: you should set the
   encoding appropriately in your application. (#4900)
 - twisted.web.http.Request.setHost now sets the port in the host
   header if it is not the default. (#4918)
 - default NOT_IMPLEMENTED and NOT_ALLOWED pages now quote the request
   method and URI respectively, to protect against browsers which
   don't quote those values for us. (#4978)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
 - The XML-RPC howto now includes an example demonstrating how to
   access the HTTP request object in a server-side XML-RPC method.
   (#4732)

   twisted.web.client.Response. (#4769)
 - Some broken links were fixed, descriptions were updated, and new
   API links were added in the Resource Templating documentation
   (resource-templates.xhtml) (#4968)

   send messages when using the default value for the length limit
   argument. (#4758)
 - twisted.words.protocols.jabber.jstrports is once again able to
   parse jstrport description strings. (#4771)
 - twisted.words.protocols.msn.NotificationClient now calls the
   loginFailure callback when it is unable to connect to the Passport
   server due to missing SSL dependencies. (#4801)
 - twisted.words.protocols.jabber.xmpp_stringprep now always uses
   Unicode version 3.2 for stringprep normalization. (#4850)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
 - Removed the non-working AIM bot example, depending on the obsolete
   twisted.words.protocols.toc functionality. (#4007)
 - Outdated GUI-related information was removed from the IM howto.
   (#4054)

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
 - Remove twisted.words.protocols.toc, that was largely non-working
   and useless since AOL disabled TOC on their AIM network. (#4363)

Other
-----
 - #4733, #4902


Twisted Core 10.2.0 (2010-11-29)
================================

Features
--------
 - twisted.internet.cfreactor has been significantly improved.  It now
   runs, and passes, the test suite.  Many, many bugs in it have been
   fixed, including several segfaults, as it now uses PyObjC and
   longer requires C code in Twisted. (#1833)
 - twisted.protocols.ftp.FTPRealm now accepts a parameter to override
   "/home" as the container for user directories.  The new
   BaseFTPRealm class in the same module also allows easy
   implementation of custom user directory schemes. (#2179)
 - twisted.python.filepath.FilePath and twisted.python.zippath.ZipPath
   now have a descendant method to simplify code which calls the child
   method repeatedly. (#3169)
 - twisted.python.failure._Frame objects now support fake f_locals
   attribute. (#4045)
 - twisted.internet.endpoints now has 'serverFromString' and
   'clientFromString' APIs for constructing endpoints from descriptive
   strings. (#4473)
 - The default trial reporter now combines reporting of tests with the
   same result to shorten its summary output. (#4487)
 - The new class twisted.protocols.ftp.SystemFTPRealm implements an
   FTP realm which uses system accounts to select home directories.
   (#4494)
 - twisted.internet.reactor.spawnProcess now wastes less time trying
   to close non-existent file descriptors on POSIX platforms. (#4522)
 - twisted.internet.win32eventreactor now declares that it implements
   a new twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorWin32Events interface.
   (#4523)
 - twisted.application.service.IProcess now documents its attributes
   using zope.interface.Attribute. (#4534)
 - twisted.application.app.ReactorSelectionMixin now saves the value
   of the --reactor option in the "reactor" key of the options object.
   (#4563)
 - twisted.internet.endpoints.serverFromString and clientFromString,
   and therefore also twisted.application.strports.service, now
   support plugins, so third parties may implement their own endpoint
   types. (#4695)

Bugfixes
--------
 - twisted.internet.defer.Deferred now handles chains iteratively
   instead of recursively, preventing RuntimeError due to excessive
   recursion when handling long Deferred chains. (#411)
 - twisted.internet.cfreactor now works with trial. (#2556)
 - twisted.enterprise.adbapi.ConnectionPool.close may now be called
   even if the connection pool has not yet been started.  This will
   prevent the pool from ever starting. (#2680)
 - twisted.protocols.basic.NetstringReceiver raises
   NetstringParseErrors for  invalid netstrings now. It handles empty
   netstrings ("0:,") correctly, and  the performance for receiving
   netstrings has been improved. (#4378)
 - reactor.listenUDP now returns an object which declares that it
   implements IListeningPort. (#4462)
 - twisted.python.randbytes no longer uses PyCrypto as a secure random
   number source (since it is not one). (#4468)
 - twisted.internet.main.installReactor now blocks installation of
   another reactor when using python -O (#4476)
 - twisted.python.deprecate.deprecatedModuleAttribute now emits only
   one warning when used to deprecate a package attribute which is a
   module. (#4492)
 - The "brief" mode of twisted.python.failure.Failure.getTraceback now
   handles exceptions raised by the underlying exception's __str__
   method. (#4501)
 - twisted.words.xish.domish now correctly parses XML with namespaces
   which include whitespace. (#4503)
 - twisted.names.authority.FileAuthority now generates correct
   negative caching hints, marks its referral NS RRs as non-
   authoritative, and correctly generates referrals for ALL_RECORDS
   requests. (#4513)
 - twisted.internet.test.reactormixins.ReactorBuilder's attribute
   `requiredInterface` (which should an interface) is now
   `requiredInterfaces` (a list of interfaces) as originally described
   per the documentation. (#4527)
 - twisted.python.zippath.ZipPath.__repr__ now correctly formats paths
   with ".." in them (by including it). (#4535)
 - twisted.names.hosts.searchFileFor has been fixed against
   refcounting dependency. (#4540)
 - The POSIX process transports now declare that they implement
   IProcessTransport. (#4585)
 - Twisted can now be built with the LLVM clang compiler, with
   'CC=clang python setup.py build'.  C code that caused errors with
   this compiler has been removed. (#4652)
 - trial now puts coverage data in the path specified by --temp-
   directory, even if that option comes after --coverage on the
   command line. (#4657)
 - The unregisterProducer method of connection-oriented transports
   will now cause the connection to be closed if there was a prior
   call to loseConnection. (#4719)
 - Fixed an issue where the new StreamServerEndpointService didn't log
   listen errors.  (This was a bug not present in any previous
   releases, as this class is new.) (#4731)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
 - The trial man page now documents the meaning of the final line of
   output of the default reporter. (#1384)
 - The API documentation for twisted.internet.defer.DeferredList now
   goes into more depth about the effects each of the __init__ flags
   that class accepts. (#3595)
 - There is now narrative documentation for the endpoints APIs, in the
   'endpoints' core howto, as well as modifications to the 'writing
   clients' and 'writing servers' core howto documents to indicate
   that endpoints are now the preferred style of listening and
   connecting. (#4478)
 - trial's man page now documents the --disablegc option in more
   detail. (#4511)
 - trial's coverage output format is now documented in the trial man
   page. (#4512)
 - Broken links and spelling errors in the finger tutorial are now
   fixed. (#4516)
 - twisted.internet.threads.blockingCallFromThread's docstring is now
   explicit about Deferred support. (#4517)
 - twisted.python.zippath.ZipPath.child now documents its handling of
   ".." (which is not special, making it different from
   FilePath.child). (#4535)
 - The API docs for twisted.internet.defer.Deferred now cover several
   more of its (less interesting) attributes. (#4538)

   reference has now been removed. The documentation clarifies
   "finger.tap" is a module and not a filename. (#4679)

   twisted.application.service.Service class, which is now fixed.
   Additionally, a minor typo ('verison') was fixed.  (#4681)

===============================

Features
--------
 - twisted.web.xmlrpc.XMLRPC.xmlrpc_* methods can now be decorated
   using withRequest to cause them to be passed the HTTP request
   object. (#3073)

Bugfixes
--------
 - twisted.web.xmlrpc.QueryProtocol.handleResponse now disconnects
   from the server, meaning that Twisted XML-RPC clients disconnect
   from the server as soon as they receive a response, rather than
   relying on the server to disconnect. (#2518)
 - twisted.web.twcgi now generates responses containing all
   occurrences of duplicate headers produced by CGI scripts, not just
   the last value. (#4742)

Deprecations and Removals

=================================

Features
--------
 - twisted.words.protocols.irc.IRCClient.msg now enforces a maximum
   length for messages, splitting up messages that are too long.
   (#4416)

Bugfixes
--------
 - twisted.words.protocols.irc.IRCClient no longer invokes privmsg()
   in the default noticed() implementation. (#4419)
 - twisted.words.im.ircsupport.IRCProto now sends the correct name in
   the USER command. (#4641)

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
 - Remove twisted.words.im.proxyui and twisted.words.im.tap. (#1823)


Twisted Core 10.1.0 (2010-06-27)
================================

Features
--------
 - Add linux inotify support, allowing monitoring of file system
   events. (#972)
 - Deferreds now support cancellation. (#990)
 - Added new "endpoint" interfaces in twisted.internet.interfaces,
   which abstractly describe stream transport endpoints which can be
   listened on or connected to.  Implementations for TCP and SSL
   clients and servers are present in twisted.internet.endpoints.
   Notably, client endpoints' connect() methods return cancellable
   Deferreds, so code written to use them can bypass the awkward
   "ClientFactory.clientConnectionFailed" and
   "Connector.stopConnecting" methods, and handle errbacks from or
   cancel the returned deferred, respectively. (#1442)
 - twisted.protocols.amp.Integer's documentation now clarifies that
   integers of arbitrary size are supported and that the wire format
   is a base-10 representation. (#2650)
 - twisted.protocols.amp now includes support for transferring
   timestamps (amp.DateTime) and decimal values (amp.Decimal). (#2651)
 - twisted.protocol.ftp.IWriteFile now has a close() method, which can
   return a Deferred. Previously a STOR command would finish
   immediately upon the receipt of the last byte of the uploaded file.
   With close(), the backend can delay the finish until it has
   performed some other slow action (like storing the data to a
   virtual filesystem). (#3462)
 - FilePath now calls os.stat() only when new status information is
   required, rather than immediately when anything changes.  For some
   applications this may result in fewer stat() calls.  Additionally,
   FilePath has a new method, 'changed', which applications may use to
   indicate that the FilePath may have been changed on disk and
   therefore the next status information request must  fetch a new
   stat result.  This is useful if external systems, such as C
   libraries, may have changed files that Twisted applications are
   referencing via a FilePath. (#4130)
 - Documentation improvements are now summarized in the NEWS file.
   (#4224)
 - twisted.internet.task.deferLater now returns a cancellable
   Deferred. (#4318)
 - The connect methods of twisted.internet.protocol.ClientCreator now
   return cancellable Deferreds. (#4329)
 - twisted.spread.pb now has documentation covering some of its
   limitations. (#4402)
 - twisted.spread.jelly now supports jellying and unjellying classes
   defined with slots if they also implement __getstate__ and
   __setstate__. (#4430)
 - twisted.protocols.amp.ListOf arguments can now be specified as
   optional. (#4474)

Bugfixes
--------
 - On POSIX platforms, reactors now support child processes in a way
   which doesn't cause other syscalls to sometimes fail with EINTR (if
   running on Python 2.6 or if Twisted's extension modules have been
   built). (#733)
 - Substrings are escaped before being passed to a regular expression
   for searching to ensure that they don't get interpreted as part of
   the expression. (#1893)
 - twisted.internet.stdio now supports stdout being redirected to a
   normal file (except when using epollreactor). (#2259)
 -  (#2367)
 - The tap2rpm script now works with modern versions of RPM. (#3292)
 - twisted.python.modules.walkModules will now handle packages
   explicitly precluded from importing by a None placed in
   sys.modules. (#3419)
 - ConnectedDatagramPort now uses stopListening when a connection
   fails instead of the deprecated loseConnection. (#3425)
 - twisted.python.filepath.FilePath.setContent is now safe for
   multiple processes to use concurrently. (#3694)
 - The mode argument to the methods of
   twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorUNIX is no longer deprecated.
   (#4078)
 - Do not include blacklisted projects when generating NEWS. (#4190)
 - When generating NEWS for a project that had no significant changes,
   include a section for that project and say that there were no
   interesting changes. (#4191)
 - Redundant 'b' mode is no longer passed to calls to FilePath.open
   and FilePath.open itself now corrects the mode when multiple 'b'
   characters are present, ensuring only one instance of 'b' is
   provided, as a workaround for http://bugs.python.org/issue7686.
   (#4207)
 - HTML tags inside <pre> tags in the code snippets are now escaped.
   (#4336)
 - twisted.protocols.amp.CommandLocator now allows subclasses to
   override responders inherited from base classes. (#4343)
 - Fix a bunch of small but important defects in the INSTALL, README
   and so forth. (#4346)
 - The poll, epoll, glib2, and gtk2 reactors now all support half-
   close in the twisted.internet.stdio.StandardIO transport. (#4352)
 - twisted.application.internet no longer generates an extra and
   invalid entry in its __all__ list for the nonexistent
   MulticastClient. (#4373)
 - Choosing a reactor documentation now says that only the select-
   based reactor is a truly cross-platform reactor. (#4384)
 - twisted.python.filepath.FilePath now no longer leaves files open,
   to be closed by the garbage collector, when an exception is raised
   in the implementation of setContent, getContent, or copyTo. (#4400)
 - twisted.test.proto_helpers.StringTransport's getHost and getPeer
   methods now return IPv4Address instances by default. (#4401)
 - twisted.protocols.amp.BinaryBoxProtocol will no longer deliver an
   empty string to a switched-to protocol's dataReceived method when
   the BinaryBoxProtocol's buffer happened to be empty at the time of
   the protocol switch. (#4405)
 - IReactorUNIX.listenUNIX implementations now support abstract
   namespace sockets on Linux. (#4421)
 - Files opened with FilePath.create() (and therefore also files
   opened via FilePath.open() on a path with alwaysCreate=True) will
   now be opened in binary mode as advertised, so that they will
   behave portably across platforms. (#4453)
 - The subunit reporter now correctly reports import errors as errors,
   rather than by crashing with an unrelated error. (#4496)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
 - The finger tutorial example which introduces services now avoids
   double-starting the loop to re-read its users file. (#4420)
 - twisted.internet.defer.Deferred.callback's docstring now mentions
   the implicit chaining feature. (#4439)
 - doc/core/howto/listing/pb/chatclient.py can now actually send a
   group message. (#4459)

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
 - twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorArbitrary,
   twisted.application.internet.GenericServer, and
   twisted.application.internet.GenericClient are now deprecated.
   (#367)

 - Removed twisted.application.app.runWithHotshot, which has been
   deprecated since Twisted 8.0. (#4091)
 - Removed twisted.application.app.ApplicationRunner.startLogging,
   which has been deprecated (doesn't say since when), as well as
   support for the legacy
   twisted.application.app.ApplicationRunner.getLogObserver method.
   (#4092)
 - twisted.application.app.reportProfile has been removed. (#4093)
 - twisted.application.app.getLogFile has been removed. (#4094)

 - The 'cftp' command-line tool will no longer encounter an
   intermittent error, crashing at startup with a ZeroDivisionError
   while trying to report progress. (#4463)
 - twisted.conch.ssh.connection.SSHConnection now replies to requests
   to open an unknown channel with a OPEN_UNKNOWN_CHANNEL_TYPE message
   instead of closing the connection. (#4490)

   when called before reactor.run, and there will be no potential for
   zombie processes in this case. (#2078)

 - High-throughput applications based on Perspective Broker should now
   run noticably faster thanks to the use of a more efficient decoding
   function in Twisted Spread. (#2310)

 - twisted.protocols.amp now provides a ListOf argument type which can
   be composed with some other argument types to create a zero or more
   element sequence of that type. (#4116)

 - If returnValue is invoked outside of a function decorated with
   @inlineCallbacks, but causes a function thusly decorated to exit, a

 - startLogging now does nothing on subsequent invocations, thus
   fixing a terrible infinite recursion bug that's only on edge case.
   (#3289)

   longer automatically ignore the signals which the parent process
   has set to be ignored. (#4199)

 - All SOCKSv4a tests now use a dummy reactor with a deterministic
   resolve method. (#4275)

===============================

Features
--------
 - Twisted Web in 60 Seconds, a series of short tutorials with self-
   contained examples on a range of common web topics, is now a part
   of the Twisted Web howto documentation. (#4192)

Bugfixes
--------
 - Data and File from twisted.web.static and
   twisted.web.distrib.UserDirectory will now only generate a 200
   response for GET or HEAD requests.
   twisted.web.client.HTTPPageGetter will no longer ignore the case of
   a request method when considering whether to apply special HEAD
   processing to a response. (#446)

 - twisted.web.http.HTTPClient now supports multi-line headers.
   (#2062)

 - Resources served via twisted.web.distrib will no longer encounter a
   Banana error when writing more than 640kB at once to the request
   object. (#3212)

 - The Error, PageRedirect, and InfiniteRedirection exception in
   twisted.web now initialize an empty message parameter by mapping
   the HTTP status code parameter to a descriptive string. Previously
   the lookup would always fail, leaving message empty.  (#3806)

 - The 'wsgi.input' WSGI environment object now supports -1 and None
   as arguments to the read and readlines methods. (#4114)

 - twisted.web.wsgi doesn't unquote QUERY_STRING anymore, thus
   complying with the WSGI reference implementation. (#4143)

 - The HTTP proxy will no longer pass on keep-alive request headers
   from the client, preventing pages from loading then "hanging"
   (leaving the connection open with no hope of termination). (#4179)

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
 - Remove '--static' option from twistd web, that served as an alias
   for the '--path' option. (#3907)

   parameters into account when parsing mode messages with arguments
   that take parameters (#3296)

Bugfixes
--------
 - When twisted.words.protocols.irc.IRCClient's versionNum and
   versionEnv attributes are set to None, they will no longer be
   included in the client's response to CTCP VERSION queries. (#3660)

 - twisted.words.protocols.jabber.xmlstream.hashPassword now only
   accepts unicode as input (#3741, #3742, #3847)

   (#3750)
 - Trial will no longer delete temp directories which it did not create (#3481)
 - Processes started on Windows should now be cleaned up properly in more cases
   (#3893)
 - Certain misbehaving importers will no longer cause twisted.python.modules

 - MemCache client protocol methods will now fail when the transport has been
   disconnected (#3643)
 - In the AMP method callRemoteString, the requiresAnswer parameter is now
   honored (#3999)
 - Spawning a "script" (a file which starts with a #! line) on Windows running
   Python 2.6 will now work instead of raising an exception about file mode
   "ru" (#3567)
 - FilePath's walk method now calls its "descend" parameter even on the first
   level of children, instead of only on grandchildren. This allows for better
   symlink cycle detection (#3911)
 - Attempting to write unicode data to process pipes on Windows will no longer
   result in arbitrarily encoded messages being written to the pipe, but instead
   will immediately raise an error (#3930)
 - The various twisted command line utilities will no longer print
   ModuleType.__doc__ when Twisted was installed with setuptools (#4030)

Twisted Conch 9.0.0 (2009-11-24)
================================

Fixes

===============================

Features
--------
 - Python source listings now include line numbers (#3486)

Fixes
-----
 - Parse UNSEEN response data and include it in the result of
   IMAP4Client.examine (#3550)

   #1219)
 - A case where the SMTP client could skip some recipients when retrying

   that the lexical sorting of messages matches the order in which they were
   received (#3812)

   (#3549, #3469)
 - When specifying a followRedirect argument to the getPage function, the state
   of redirect-following for other getPage calls should now be unaffected.  It

   sooner by the request when the connection is lost (#1621, #3176)
 - xmlrpclib.DateTime objects should now correctly round-trip over twisted.web's
   XMLRPC support in all supported versions of Python, and errors during error
   serialization will no longer hang a twisted.web XMLRPC response (#2446)
 - request.content should now always be seeked to the beginning when
   request.process is called, so application code should never need to seek
   back manually (#3585)

   "example//foo.html") should now return a 404 instead of a traceback and
   500 error (#3631)
 - downloadPage will now fire a Failure on its returned Deferred instead of
   indicating success when the connection is prematurely lost (#3645)
 - static.File will now provide a 404 instead of a 500 error when it was

   cause them to skip a segment in the request path (#3679)
 - The twisted.web WSGI support should now include leading slashes in PATH_INFO,
   and SCRIPT_NAME will be empty if the application is at the root of the
   resource tree. This means that WSGI applications should no longer generate
   URLs with double-slashes in them even if they naively concatenate the values
   (#3721)
 - WSGI applications should now receive the requesting client's IP in the
   REMOTE_ADDR environment variable (#3730)

   requested Range value doesn't fit entirely within the file's contents (#3814)
 - Attempting to call request.finish() after the connection has been lost will
   now immediately raise a RuntimeError (#4013)
 - An HTTP-auth resource should now be able to directly render the wrapped
   avatar, whereas before it would only allow retrieval of child resources
   (#4014)
 - twisted.web's wsgi support should no longer attempt to call request.finish
   twice, which would cause errors in certain cases (#4025)
 - WSGI applications should now be able to handle requests with large bodies
   (#4029)
 - Exceptions raised from WSGI applications should now more reliably be turned
   into 500 errors on the HTTP level (#4019)
 - DeferredResource now correctly passes through exceptions raised from the
   wrapped resource, instead of turning them all into 500 errors (#3932)

   Pidgin able to successfully connect to a twisted.words IRC server (#2385)
 - The IRC client will now dispatch "RPL MOTD" messages received before a
   "RPL MOTD START" instead of raising an exception (#3676)
