History#

v9.0.0#

19 Nov 2022

  • #252 via PR #339: Cheroot now requires Python 3.6 or later. Python 3.5 and Python 2.7 are still supported by the maint/8.x branch and stabilizing bugfixes will be accepted to that branch.

v8.6.0#

03 Jan 2022

Significant improvements:

  • #384 via PR #385, PR #406: Exposed type stubs with annotations for public API – by @kasium.

  • PR #401 (related to the PR #352 effort): Started reusing the the expriration_interval setting as timeout in the low-level select() invocation, effectively reducing the system load when idle, that is noticeable on low-end hardware systems. On Windows OS, due to different select() behavior, the effect is less significant and comes with a theoretically decreased performance on quickly repeating requests, which has however found to be not significant in real world scenarios. – by @MichaIng.

Internal changes:

  • Implemented a manual-trigger-based release workflow.

  • Integrated publishing GitHub Releases into the workflow.

  • Migrated the docs theme to Furo (created by @pradyunsg).

  • Attempted to improve the stability of testing.

  • Configured the CI to test the same distribution as will be shipped.

  • Improved the linting setup and contributor checklists.

  • Stopped running tests under Ubuntu 16.04.

  • Tweaked the distribution packages metadata to satisfy strict checks.

  • Implemented distribution build reproducibility using a pip constraints lock-file.

  • Added per-environment lock-files into the tox test environments.

v8.5.2#

18 Jan 2021

  • #358 via PR #359: Fixed a regression from PR #199 that made the worker threads exit on invalid connection attempts and could make the whole server unresponsive once there was no workers left. – by @cameronbrunner.

v8.5.1#

12 Dec 2020

v8.5.0#

05 Dec 2020

v8.4.8#

24 Nov 2020

  • #317 via PR #337: Fixed a regression in 8.4.5 where the connections dictionary would change size during iteration, leading to a RuntimeError raised in the logs – by @liamstask.

v8.4.7#

15 Nov 2020

  • PR #334: Started filtering out TLS/SSL errors when the version requested by the client is unsupported – by @sanderjo and @Safihre.

v8.4.6#

15 Nov 2020

v8.4.5#

24 Aug 2020

  • #312 via PR #313: Fixed a regression introduced in the earlier refactoring in v8.4.4 via PR #309 that caused the connection manager to modify the selector map while looping over it – by @liamstask.

  • #312 via PR #316: Added a regression test for the error handling in get_conn() to ensure more stability – by @cyraxjoe.

v8.4.4#

12 Aug 2020

v8.4.3#

12 Aug 2020

  • PR #282: Fixed a race condition happening when an HTTP client attempts to reuse a persistent HTTP connection after it’s been discarded on the server in HTTPRequest but no TCP FIN packet has been received yet over the wire – by @meaksh.

    This change populates the Keep-Alive header exposing the timeout value for persistent HTTP/1.1 connections which helps mitigate such race conditions by letting the client know not to reuse the connection after that time interval.

v8.4.2#

28 Jul 2020

  • Fixed a significant performance regression introduced in v8.1.0 (#305 via PR #308) - by @mar10.

    The issue turned out to add 0.1s delay on new incoming connection processing. We’ve lowered that delay to mitigate the problem short-term, better fix is yet to come.

v8.4.1#

26 Jul 2020

v8.4.0#

23 Jul 2020

  • Converted management from low-level select() to high-level selectors (#249 via PR #301) - by @tommilligan.

    This change also introduces a conditional dependency on selectors2 as a fall-back for legacy Python interpreters.

v8.3.1#

13 Jul 2020

  • Fixed TLS socket related unclosed resource warnings (PR #291 and PR #298).

  • Made terminating keep-alive connections more graceful (#263 via PR #277).

v8.0.0#

09 Oct 2019

v7.0.0#
