Twisted Core 10.0.0 (2010-03-01)

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

Features

--------

- The twistd man page now has a SIGNALS section. (#689)

- reactor.spawnProcess now will not emit a PotentialZombieWarning

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)

- Documentation for trac-post-commit-hook functionality in svn-dev

policy. (#3867)

- twisted.protocols.socks.SOCKSv4 now supports the SOCKSv4a protocol.

(#3886)

- Trial can now output test results according to the subunit

protocol, as long as Subunit is installed (see

https://launchpad.net/subunit). (#4004)

- 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

DeprecationWarning will be emitted explaining this potentially

confusing behavior. In a future release, this will cause an

exception. (#4157)

- twisted.python.logfile.BaseLogFile now has a reopen method allowing

you to use an external logrotate mechanism. (#4255)

Bugfixes

--------

- FTP.ftp_NLST now handles requests on invalid paths in a way

consistent with RFC 959. (#1342)

- twisted.python.util.initgroups now calls the low-level C initgroups

by default if available: the python version can create lots of I/O

with certain authentication setup to retrieve all the necessary

information. (#3226)

- startLogging now does nothing on subsequent invocations, thus

fixing a terrible infinite recursion bug that's only on edge case.

(#3289)

- Stringify non-string data to NetstringReceiver.sendString before

calculating the length so that the calculated length is equal to

the actual length of the transported data. (#3299)

- twisted.python.win32.cmdLineQuote now correctly quotes empty

strings arguments (#3876)

- Change the behavior of the Gtk2Reactor to register only one source

watch for each file descriptor, instead of one for reading and one

for writing. In particular, it fixes a bug with Glib under Windows

where we failed to notify when a client is connected. (#3925)

- Twisted Trial no longer crashes if it can't remove an old

_trial_temp directory. (#4020)

- The optional _c_urlarg extension now handles unquote("") correctly

on platforms where malloc(0) returns NULL, such as AIX. It also

compiles with less warnings. (#4142)

- On POSIX, child processes created with reactor.spawnProcess will no

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)

- Prevent extraneous server, date and content-type headers in proxy

responses. (#4277)

Deprecations and Removals

-------------------------

- twisted.internet.error.PotentialZombieWarning is now deprecated.

(#2078)

- twisted.test.time_helpers is now deprecated. (#3719)

- The deprecated connectUDP method of IReactorUDP has now been

removed. (#4075)

- twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase now ignores the previously

deprecated setUpClass and tearDownClass methods. (#4175)

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

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.

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)

Other

as a file, and not an empty directory (#3625)

- proxyForInterface now returns classes which correctly *implement* interfaces

rather than *providing* them (#3646)

- SIP Via header parameters should now be correctly generated (#2194)

- The Deferred returned by stopListening would sometimes previously never fire

if an exception was raised by the underlying file descriptor's connectionLost

method. Now the Deferred will fire with a failure (#3654)

- The command-line tool "manhole" should now work with newer versions of pygtk

(#2464)

level of children, instead of only on grandchildren. This allows for better

symlink cycle detection (#3911)

Twisted Conch 9.0.0 (2009-11-24)

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

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

Features

--------

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

#1219)

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

now bubble up to the higher-level API (such as the sendmail function) (#3642)

- Escape sequences inside quoted strings in IMAP4 should now be parsed

correctly by the IMAP4 server protocol (#3659)

- The "imap4-utf-7" codec that is registered by twisted.mail.imap4 had a number

actually work (#3663)

- The Maildir implementation now ensures time-based ordering of filenames so

that the lexical sorting of messages matches the order in which they were

received (#3812)

- SASL PLAIN credentials generated by the IMAP4 protocol implementations

the HTTP 1.1 standard by responding to redirects in a POSTed request with a

GET instead of another POST (#3624)

- A new basic HTTP/1.1 client API is included in twisted.web.client.Agent

(#886, #3987)

Fixes

-----

- Requests for "insecure" children of a static.File (such as paths containing

encoded directory separators) will now result in a 404 instead of a 500

(#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

getPage calls (#3192)

- Downloading an URL of the form "http://example.com:/" will now work,

ignoring the extraneous colon (#2402)

- microdom's appendChild method will no longer issue a spurious warning, and

microdom's methods in general should now issue more meaningful exceptions

when invalid parameters are passed (#3421)

- WSGI applications will no longer have spurious Content-Type headers added to

their responses by the twisted.web server. In addition, WSGI applications

will no longer be able to specify the server-restricted headers Server and

Date (#3569)

- http_headers.Headers now normalizes the case of raw headers passed directly

to it in the same way that it normalizes the headers passed to setRawHeaders

(#3557)

- The distrib module no longer relies on the deprecated woven package (#3559)

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)

- Fetching a child of static.File with a double-slash in the URL (such as

"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

constructed with a non-existent file (#3634)

- microdom should now serialize namespaces correctly (#3672)

cause them to skip a segment in the request path (#3679)

- The twisted.web WSGI support should now include leading slashes in PATH_INFO,

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)

(#3574)

- static.File should now generate a correct Content-Length value when the

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)

- Agent.request now generates a Host header when no headers are passed at

(#4131)

various things have been deprecated (#3457)

- the loopFactory attribute is now ignored

- the checkExpired method now does nothing

ISUPPORT server->client message, storing the data in a new

ServerSupportedFeatures object accessible via IRCClient.supported (#3285)

Fixes

-----

- The twisted.words IRC server now always sends an MOTD, which at least makes

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)

- The IRC client protocol implementation no longer updates its 'nickname'

attribute directly; instead, that attribute will be updated when the server

acknowledges the change (#3377)

- The IRC client protocol implementation now supports falling back to another

nickname when a nick change request fails (#3377, #4010)

Deprecations and Removals

-------------------------

- The TOC protocol implementation is now deprecated, since the protocol itself

has been deprecated and obselete for quite a long time (#3580)

- The gui "im" application has been removed, since it relied on GTK1, which is

hard to find these days (#3699, #3340)
