Twisted Core 15.0.0 (2015-01-24)

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

Features

--------

- twisted.internet.protocol.ClientFactory (and subclasses) may now

return None from buildProtocol to immediately close the connection.

(#710)

- twisted.trial.unittest.SynchronousTestCase.assertRaises can now

return a context manager. (#5339)

- Implementations of

twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpoint included in

Twisted itself will now handle None being returned from the client

factory's buildProtocol method by immediately closing the

connection and firing the waiting Deferred with a Failure. (#6976)

- inlineCallbacks now supports using the return statement with a

value on Python 3 (#7624)

- twisted.spread.banana.Banana.sendEncoded() now raises a more

informative error message if the user tries to encode objects of

unsupported type. (#7663)

Bugfixes

--------

- twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorMulticast.listenMultiple works

again RHEL 6's python 2.6. (#7159)

- Allow much more of the code within Twisted to use ProcessEndpoint

by adding IPushProducer and IConsumer interfaces to its resulting

transport. (#7436)

- twisted.internet.ssl.Certificate(...).getPublicKey().keyHash() now

produces a stable value regardless of OpenSSL version.

Unfortunately this means that it is different than the value

produced by older Twisted versions. (#7651)

- twisted.python.reflect.safe_str on Python 3 converts utf-8 encoded

bytes to clean str instead of "b'a'" (#7660)

- twisted.spread.banana.Banana now raises NotImplementedError when

receiving pb messages without pb being the selected dialect (#7662)

- The SSL server string endpoint parser

(twisted.internet.endpoints.serverFromString) now constructs

endpoints which, by default, disable the insecure SSLv3 protocol.

(#7684)

- The SSL client string endpoint parser

(twisted.internet.endpoints.clientFromString) now constructs

endpoints which, by default, disable the insecure SSLv3 protocol.

(#7686)

Improved Documentation

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

- The echoclient example now uses twisted.internet.task.react.

(#7083)

- Twisted Trial's how-to documentation now has a link to Twisted's

contribution guidelines and has been reformatted. (#7475)

- Fixed a path error in the make.bat file for building Sphinx

documentation, so that it is now possible to build the documenation

using make.bat on Windows. (#7542)

Deprecations and Removals

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

- twisted.python.filepath.FilePath.statinfo was deprecated. (#4450)

- twisted.internet.defer.deferredGenerator is now deprecated.

twisted.internet.defer.inlineCallbacks should be used instead.

(#6044)

- Pickling twisted.internet.ssl.OptionSSLCertificationOptions and

twisted.internet.ssl.Keypair is no longer supported. __getstate__

and __setstate__ methods of these classes have been deprecated.

twisted.conch.checkers.InMemorySSHKeyDB,

twisted.conch.checkers.UNIXAuthorizedKeyFiles, and

twisted.conch.checkers.SSHPublicKeyChecker have been added to

provide functionality to check the validity of SSH public keys and

specify where authorized keys are to be found. (#7144)

Deprecations and Removals

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

No significant changes have been made for this release.

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)

-Forwarded-For values to the access log when the HTTP server is

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)

the first error or failure. (#1518)

- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now supports chain

certificates. (#2061)

- twisted.internet.endpoints now provides ProcessEndpoint, a child

process endpoint. (#4696)

- Factory now has a forProtocol classmethod that constructs an

instance and sets its protocol attribute. (#5016)

- twisted.internet.endpoints.connectProtocol allows connecting to a

client endpoint using only a protocol instance, rather than

requiring a factory. (#5270)

- twisted.trial.unittest.SynchronousTestCase.assertNoResult no longer

swallows the result, if the assertion succeeds. (#6291)

- twisted.python.constants.FlagConstant implements __iter__ so that

it can be iterated upon to find the flags that went into a flag

set, and implements __nonzero__ to test as false when empty.

(#6302)

- assertIs and assertIsNot have now been added to

twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase. (#6350)

- twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase.failureResultOf now takes an

optional expected failure type argument. (#6380)

twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorProcess now does not change the

parent process UID or GID in order to run child processes with a

different UID or GID. (#6443)

Bugfixes

--------

- self.transport.resumeProducing() will no longer raise an

AssertionError if called after self.transport.loseConnection()

(#986)

- twisted.protocols.ftp.FTP now supports IFTPShell implementations

which return non-ASCII filenames as unicode strings. (#5411)

- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now disables SSLv2 if

SSLv23 is selected, allowing only SSLv3 and TLSv1. (#6337)

- trial dist support now gets sys.path from an environment variable

passed to it. (#6390)

- twisted.test.proto_helpers.StringTransportWithDisconnection now

correctly passes Failure instead of an exception to

connectionLost through loseConnection. (#6521)

Improved Documentation

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

- The Application howto now provides an example of writing a custom

Service. (#5586)

- The -j flag to trial (introduced in 12.3.0) is now documented.

(#5994)

- The SSL howto now covers twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions

instead of the older context factories it replaces. (#6273)

- The Constants HOWTO documents iteration and truth testing of flags,

as well as previously undocumented boolean operations. (#6302)

Deprecations and Removals

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

- twisted.trial.runner.suiteVisit and PyUnitTestCase as well as

visitor methods, all deprecated since Twisted 8.0, have been

removed. (#3231)

- twisted.python._epoll bindings were removed; the epoll reactor now

uses the stdlib-provided epoll support. (#5847)

- The deprecated LENGTH, DATA, COMMA, and NUMBER NetstringReceiver

parser state attributes in t.protocols.basic are removed now.

(#6321)

- twisted.trial.runner.DryRunVisitor is now deprecated. Trial uses a

different method to handle --dry-run now. (#6333)

- twisted.python.hashlib is now deprecated in favor of hashlib from

stdlib. (#6342)

- twisted.web.server's Session.loopFactory, lifetime parameter of

Session.startCheckingExpiration and Session.checkExpired attributes,

deprecated since Twisted 9.0, have been removed. (#6514)
