- Update to 10.0:
- Backwards-incompatible changes
- websockets 10.0 requires Python ≥ 3.7.
- The ``loop`` parameter is deprecated from all APIs.
The ``loop`` parameter is also removed
from `~server.WebSocketServer`. This should be transparent.
- `~client.connect` times out after 10 seconds by default.
You can adjust the timeout with the ``open_timeout`` parameter. Set it to
`None` to disable the timeout entirely.
- The ``legacy_recv`` option is deprecated.
- The signature of `~exceptions.ConnectionClosed` changed.
If you raise `~exceptions.ConnectionClosed` or a subclass, rather
than catch them when websockets raises them, you must change your code.
- A ``msg`` parameter was added to `~exceptions.InvalidURI`.
If you raise `~exceptions.InvalidURI`, rather than catch it when
websockets raises it, you must change your code.
- New features
- websockets 10.0 introduces a Sans-I/O API for easier
integration in third-party libraries.
- Added compatibility with Python 3.10.
- Added `~websockets.broadcast` to send a message to many
clients.
- Added support for reconnecting automatically by using
`~client.connect` as an asynchronous iterator.
- Added ``open_timeout`` to :func:`~client.connect`.
- Documented how to integrate with Django.
- Documented how to deploy websockets in production, with
several options.
- Documented how to authenticate connections.
- Documented how to broadcast messages to many connections.
- Improvements
- Improved logging.
- Optimized default compression settings to reduce memory
usage.
- Optimized processing of client-to-server messages when the
C extension isn't available.
- Supported relative redirects in `~client.connect`.
- Handled TCP connection drops during the opening handshake.
- Made it easier to customize authentication with
`~auth.BasicAuthWebSocketServerProtocol.check_credentials`.
- Provided additional information in
`~exceptions.ConnectionClosed` exceptions.
- Clarified several exceptions or log messages.
- Restructured documentation.
- Improved API documentation.
- Extended FAQ.
- Bug fixes
- Avoided a crash when receiving a ping while the connection
is closing.
- The test suite is temporarily broken on Python 3.9.7
(gh#aaugustin/websockets#1051).
- Increase WEBSOCKETS_TESTS_TIMEOUT_FACTOR to 10 to make
test_keepalive_ping_with_no_ping_timeout pass again.
- Remove skip-test_keepalive_ping_with_no_ping_timeout.patch, of course.
- Use %pyunittest macro instead of doing it on our own.
- Add skip-test_keepalive_ping_with_no_ping_timeout.patch for
gh#aaugustin/websockets#1026.
- update to 9.1:
**Version 9.1 fixes a security issue introduced in version 8.0.**
* Restored compatibility of ``python -m websockets`` with Python < 3.9.
* Restored compatibility with mypy.
* Fixed issues with the packaging of the 9.0 release.
* :class:`~datastructures.Headers` and
:exc:`~datastructures.MultipleValuesError` were moved from
``websockets.http`` to :mod:`websockets.datastructures`. If you're using
them, you should adjust the import path.
* The ``client``, ``server``, ``protocol``, and ``auth`` modules were
moved from the ``websockets`` package to ``websockets.legacy``
sub-package, as part of an upcoming refactoring. Despite the name,
they're still fully supported. The refactoring should be a transparent
upgrade for most uses when it's available. The legacy implementation
will be preserved according to the `backwards-compatibility policy`_.
* The ``framing``, ``handshake``, ``headers``, ``http``, and ``uri``
modules in the ``websockets`` package are deprecated. These modules
provided low-level APIs for reuse by other WebSocket implementations,
but that never happened. Keeping these APIs public makes it more
difficult to improve websockets for no actual benefit.
* Added compatibility with Python 3.9.
* Added support for IRIs in addition to URIs.
* Added close codes 1012, 1013, and 1014.
* Raised an error when passing a :class:`dict` to
- Remove Suggest python-asyncio, which is in Python 3 stdlib
- update to 8.1
* Added compatibility with Python 3.8.
- drop upstreamed patch python38-support.patch
- Add python38-support.patch from upstream that fixes build failures
against Python 3.8.
- Update to 8.0.2:
* Restored the ability to pass a socket with the sock parameter of :func:`~server.serve`.
* Removed an incorrect assertion when a connection drops.
- Update to 8.0.1:
* Version 8.0 drops compatibility with Python 3.4 and 3.5.
* Various fixes
- Update to 7.0:
* Various fixes
* Repository layout changes
- Call the tests the same way as upstream to avoid import cycles
- Do make sure to error out on test failure.
- Version update to 6.0:
* compatibility with python 3.6
- Update to version 5.0.1
* CVE-2018-1000518: Defend against zip bombs (boo#1099269).
- Add WEBSOCKETS_TESTS_TIMEOUT_FACTOR=5, otherwise tests in several
projects fail
- initial version
