History of changes¶
v0.7.0 (2016-11-25)¶
New features (backwards compatible):
- Made it so that sentinels are instances of themselves
<sentinel-type-trickiness>, to enable certain dispatch tricks on
the return value of
Connection.next_event()
(see issue #8 for discussion). - Added
Data.chunk_start
andData.chunk_end
properties to theData
event. These provide the user information about where chunk delimiters are in the data stream from the remote peer when chunked transfer encoding is in use. You probably shouldn’t use these, but sometimes there’s no alternative (see issue #19 for discussion). - Expose
Response.reason
attribute, making it possible to read or set the textual “reason phrase” on responses (issue #13).
Bug fixes:
v0.6.0 (2016-10-24)¶
This is the first release since we started using h11 to write non-trivial server code, and this experience triggered a number of substantial API changes.
Backwards incompatible changes:
- Split the old
receive_data()
into the newreceive_data()
andnext_event()
, and replaced the oldPaused
pseudo-event with the newNEED_DATA
andPAUSED
sentinels. - Simplified the API by replacing the old
Connection.state_of()
,Connection.client_state
,Connection.server_state
with the newConnection.states
. - Renamed the old
prepare_to_reuse()
to the newstart_next_cycle()
. - Removed the
Paused
pseudo-event.
Backwards compatible changes:
- State machine: added a
DONE
->MUST_CLOSE
transition triggered by our peer being in theERROR
state. - Split
ProtocolError
intoLocalProtocolError
andRemoteProtocolError
(see Error handling). Use case: HTTP servers want to be able to distinguish between an error that originates locally (which produce a 500 status code) versus errors caused by remote misbehavior (which produce a 4xx status code). - Changed the
PRODUCT_ID
fromh11/<verson>
topython-h11/<version>
. (This is similar to what requests uses, and much more searchable than plain h11.)
Other changes:
- Added a minimal benchmark suite, and used it to make a few small optimizations (maybe ~20% speedup?).
v0.5.0 (2016-05-14)¶
- Initial release.
