(#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.

(#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.

(#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.

(#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) - - LineReceiver, NetstringReceiver, and IntNStringReceiver from - twisted.protocols.basic now have improved API documentation for - read callbacks and write methods.

(#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.

(#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.

-Twisted 2.5.0 is a major feature release, with several interesting new -developments and a great number of bug fixes. Some of the highlights -follow. - - * AMP, the Asynchronous Messaging Protocol, was introduced. AMP is - a protocol which provides request/response semantics over a - persistent connection in a very simple and extensible manner. - - * An Epoll-based reactor was added, which can be used with twistd or - trial by passing "-r epoll" on the command line. This may improve - performance of certain high-traffic network applications. - - * The 'twistd' command can now accept sub-commands which name an - application to run. For example, 'twistd web --path .' will start a - web server serving files out of the current directory. This - functionality is meant to replace the old way of doing things with - 'mktap' and 'twistd -f'. - - * Python 2.5 is now supported. Previous releases of Twisted were - broken by changes in the release of Python 2.5. - - * 'inlineCallbacks' was added, which allows taking advantage of the - new 'yield' expression syntax in Python 2.5 to avoid writing - callbacks for Deferreds. - -In addition to these changes, there are many other minor features and -a large number of bug fixes. - -Features --------- - - log.err can now take a second argument for specifying information - about an error (#1399) - - A time-simulating test helper class, twisted.internet.task.Clock, - was added (#1757) - - Trial docstring improvements were made (#1604, #2133) - - New SSL features were added to twisted.internet.ssl, such as client - validation (#302) - - Python 2.5 is now supported (#1867) - - Trial's assertFailure now provides more information on failure (#1869) - - Trial can now be run on tests within a zipfile (#1940) - - AMP, a new simple protocol for asynchronous messaging, was added (#1715) - - Trial's colorful reporter now works on win32 (#1646) - - Trial test modules may now dynamically construct TestSuites (#1638, #2165) - - twistd can now make use of plugins to run applications (#1922, #2013) - - Twisted now works with the latest (unreleased) zope.interface (#2160) - - An epoll-based reactor, epollreactor, was added.

[975] - - __file__ is now usable in tac files - - twisted.cred.pamauth now contains a PAM checker (moved from twisted.conch) - - twisted.protocols.policies.LimitTotalConnectionsFactory now exists, - which does as the name suggests - - twisted.protocols.ident now uses /proc/net/tcp on Linux [233] - - trial now recurses packages by default (a la the old -R parameter) - - (PB) Calling a remote method that doesn't exist now raises - NoSuchMethod instead of AttributeError. - -Fixes ------ - - FTP client and server improvements - - Trial improvements: The code is now much simpler, and more stable. - - twisted.protocols.basic.FileSender now works with empty files - - Twisted should now be much more usable on Pythons without thread support. - - minor improvements to process code in win32eventreactor - - twistd -y (--python) now implies -o (--nosave). [539] - - improved lockfile handling especially with respect to unix sockets. - - deferredGenerator now no longer overuses the stack, which sometimes - caused stack overflows. - - Failure.raiseException now at least always raises the correct Exception. - - minor improvements to serialport code - -Deprecations ------------- - - twisted.python.componts.getAdapter. Use IFoo(o) instead. - - Adapter persistence (IFoo(x, persist=True)). Just don't use it. - - log.debug. It was equivalent to log.msg(), just use that. - - twisted.protocols.telnet. twisted.conch.telnet replaces it. - - Setting a trial reporter using a flag to 'trial'. Instead of 'trial - --bwverbose', for example, use 'trial --reporter=bwverbose'. - - trial --coverage will become a flag in Twisted 2.2. - - passing a fully-qualified python name to --reporter is - deprecated. Pass only names of Reporter plugins. - - trial --psyco. - - trial -R (--recurse) is now the default, so passing it is deprecated. - - trial --reporter-args. Use the plugin system to do this sort of thing. - - trial.assertions.assertionMethod and trial.unittest.assertionMethod - are both deprecated. Use instance methods on TestCases instead. - - trial's deferredResult, deferredError, and wait functions. Return - Deferreds from your test methods instead of using them. - - Raising unittest.SkipTest with no arguments. Give a reason for your skip. - - The Failure returned from a gatherResults and DeferredList is now - of type FirstError instead of a tuple of (Exception, index). It - supports a firstError[idx] syntax but that is deprecated. Use - firstError.subFailure and firstError.index instead. - - whenThreaded now simply calls the passed function synchronously. - -2.0.1 (2005-05-09) -=================== -Minor bug fix release. - -SVN rev (file) - [bug number] description ------------------------------------------ -13307 (twisted/topfiles/README) - Mention support for python 2.4, too -13324 (twisted/internet/defer.py) - [947] Fix DeferredQueue backlog/size limit. -13354 (twisted/plugins/__init__.py) - Correct maintainer address. -13355 (twisted/test/test_defer.py) - improvements to DeferredQueue test case -13387 (setup.py) - add news to list of subprojects to install -13332 (twisted/internet/posixbase.py) - Fix spelling error -13366 (twisted/internet/qtreactor.py) - [957] [954] reactor.iterate fixes -13368 (twisted/test/test_internet.py) - Fix DelayedCall test case -13422 (twisted/internet/posixbase.py) - Remove log from _Win32Waker creation. -13437 (twisted/plugin.py) - [958] Only write cache if there were changes. -13666 (twisted/internet/gtkreactor.py,gtk2reactor.py) - Don't run callbacks - until the reactor is actually up and running -13748 (twisted/internet/gtk2reactor.py) - [552] [994] Initialize threading properly. - - -2.0.0 (2005-03-25) -================== - -Major new features ------------------- - - Replaced home-grown components system with zope.interface. - - Split Twisted into multiple pieces. - - Relicensed: Now under the MIT license, rather than LGPL. - - Python 2.4 compatibility fixes - - Major efficiency improvements in TCP buffering algorithm. - - Major efficiency improvements in reactor.callLater/DelayedCall. - - Half-close support for TCP/SSL.
