cherrypy

• 1489 via 1493: Additionally reject anything else that's not bytes.

• 1492: systemd socket activation.

• 1483: Remove Deprecated constructs:

  • cherrypy.lib.http module.

  • unrepr, modules, and attributes in cherrypy.lib.

• 1476: Drop support for python-memcached<1.58

• 1401: Handle NoSSLErrors.

• 1489: In wsgiserver.WSGIGateway.respond, the application must now yield bytes and not text, as the spec requires. If text is received, it will now raise a ValueError instead of silently encoding using ISO-8859-1.

• Removed unicode filename from the package, working around pypa/pip#3894 and pypa/setuptools#704.

• 1458: Implement systemd's socket activation mechanism for CherryPy servers, based on work sponsored by Endless Computers.

  Socket Activation allows one to setup a system so that systemd will sit on a port and start services 'on demand' (a little bit like inetd and xinetd used to do).

Removed the long-deprecated backward compatibility for legacy config keys in the engine. Use the config for the namespaced-plugins instead:

• autoreload_on -> autoreload.on

• autoreload_frequency -> autoreload.frequency

• autoreload_match -> autoreload.match

• reload_files -> autoreload.files

• deadlock_poll_frequency -> timeout_monitor.frequency

• 1460: Fix KeyError in Bus.publish when signal handlers set in config.

• 1441: Added tool to automatically convert request params based on type annotations (primarily in Python 3). For example:

  @cherrypy.tools.params()
  def resource(self, limit: int):
      assert isinstance(limit, int)

• Issue 1411: Fix issue where autoreload fails when the host interpreter for CherryPy was launched using python -m.

• Combined wsgiserver2 and wsgiserver3 modules into a single module, cherrypy.wsgiserver.

• Issue 1445: Correct additional typos.

• Issue 1444: Correct typos in @cherrypy.expose decorators.

• Setuptools is now required to build CherryPy. Pure distutils installs are no longer supported. This change allows CherryPy to depend on other packages and re-use code from them. It's still possible to install pre-built CherryPy packages (wheels) using pip without Setuptools.

• six is now a requirement and subsequent requirements will be declared in the project metadata.

• 1440: Back out changes from 1432 attempting to fix redirects with Unicode URLs, as it also had the unintended consequence of causing the 'Location' to be bytes on Python 3.

• cherrypy.expose now works on classes.

• cherrypy.config decorator is now used throughout the code internally.

• @cherrypy.expose now will also set the exposed attribute on a class.

• Rewrote all tutorials and internal usage to prefer the decorator usage of expose rather than setting the attribute explicitly.

• Removed test-specific code from tutorials.

• 1397: Fix for filenames with semicolons and quote characters in filenames found in headers.

• 1311: Added decorator for registering tools.

• 1194: Use simpler encoding rules for SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO environment variables in CherryPy Tree allowing non-latin characters to pass even when wsgi.version is not u.0.

• 1352: Ensure that multipart fields are decoded even when cached in a file.

• cherrypy.test.webtest.WebCase now honors a 'WEBTEST_INTERACTIVE' environment variable to disable interactive tests (still enabled by default). Set to '0' or 'false' or 'False' to disable interactive tests.

• 1408: Fix AttributeError when listiterator was accessed using the next attribute.

• 748: Removed cherrypy.lib.sessions.PostgresqlSession.

• 1432: Fix errors with redirects to Unicode URLs.

• 1202: Add support for specifying a certificate authority when serving SSL using the built-in SSL support.

• Use ssl.create_default_context when available.

• 1392: Catch platform-specific socket errors on OS X.

• 1386: Fix parsing of URIs containing :// in the path part.

• 1410: Moved hosting to Github (cherrypy/cherrypy).

• Bugfix issue 1315 for test_HTTP11_pipelining test in Python 3.5

• Bugfix issue 1382 regarding the keyword arguments support for Python 3 on the config file.

• Bugfix issue 1406 for test_2_KeyboardInterrupt test in Python 3.5. by monkey patching the HTTPRequest given a bug on CPython that is affecting the testsuite (https://bugs.python.org/issue23377).

• Add additional parameter raise_subcls to the tests helpers openURL and CPWebCase.getPage to have finer control on which exceptions can be raised.

• Add support for direct keywords on the calls (e.g. foo=bar) on the config file under Python 3.

• Add additional validation to determine if the process is running as a daemon on cherrypy.process.plugins.SignalHandler to allow the execution of the testsuite under CI tools.

• Bugfix for NameError following 94.

• Removed deprecated support for ssl_certificate and ssl_private_key attributes and implicit construction of SSL adapter on Python 2 WSGI servers.

• Default SSL Adapter on Python 2 is the builtin SSL adapter, matching Python 3 behavior.

• Pull request 94: In proxy tool, defer to Host header for resolving the base if no base is supplied.

• Drop support for Python 2.5 and earlier.

• No longer build Windows installers by default.

• Pull Request 116: Correct InternalServerError when null bytes in static file path. Now responds with 404 instead.

• Pull Request 96: Pass exc_info to logger as keyword rather than formatting the error and injecting into the message.

• CherryPy daemon may now be invoked with python -m cherrypy in addition to the cherryd script.

• Issue 1298: Fix SSL handling on CPython 2.7 with builtin SSL module and pyOpenSSL 0.14. This change will break PyPy for now.

• Several documentation fixes.

• Fixed HTTP range headers for negative length larger than content size.

• Disabled universal wheel generation as wsgiserver has Python duality.

• Pull Request 42: Correct TypeError in check_auth when encrypt is used.

• Pull Request 59: Correct signature of HandlerWrapperTool.

• Pull Request 60: Fix error in SessionAuth where login_screen was incorrectly used.

• Issue 1077: Support keyword-only arguments in dispatchers (Python 3).

• Issue 1019: Allow logging host name in the access log.

• Pull Request 50: Fixed race condition in session cleanup.

• Issue 1301: When the incoming queue is full, now reject additional connections. This functionality was added to CherryPy 3.0, but unintentionally lost in 3.1.

• Miscellaneous quality improvements.

CherryPy adopts semver.
