Twisted Core 10.0.0 (2010-03-01)
================================

Features
--------
 - The twistd man page now has a SIGNALS section. (#689)

 - reactor.spawnProcess now will not emit a PotentialZombieWarning
   when called before reactor.run, and there will be no potential for
   zombie processes in this case. (#2078)

 - High-throughput applications based on Perspective Broker should now
   run noticably faster thanks to the use of a more efficient decoding
   function in Twisted Spread. (#2310)

 - Documentation for trac-post-commit-hook functionality in svn-dev
   policy. (#3867)

 - twisted.protocols.socks.SOCKSv4 now supports the SOCKSv4a protocol.
   (#3886)

 - Trial can now output test results according to the subunit
   protocol, as long as Subunit is installed (see
   https://launchpad.net/subunit). (#4004)

 - twisted.protocols.amp now provides a ListOf argument type which can
   be composed with some other argument types to create a zero or more
   element sequence of that type. (#4116)

 - If returnValue is invoked outside of a function decorated with
   @inlineCallbacks, but causes a function thusly decorated to exit, a
   DeprecationWarning will be emitted explaining this potentially
   confusing behavior.  In a future release, this will cause an
   exception. (#4157)

 - twisted.python.logfile.BaseLogFile now has a reopen method allowing
   you to use an external logrotate mechanism. (#4255)

Bugfixes
--------
 - FTP.ftp_NLST now handles requests on invalid paths in a way
   consistent with RFC 959. (#1342)

 - twisted.python.util.initgroups now calls the low-level C initgroups
   by default if available: the python version can create lots of I/O
   with certain authentication setup to retrieve all the necessary
   information. (#3226)

 - startLogging now does nothing on subsequent invocations, thus
   fixing a terrible infinite recursion bug that's only on edge case.
   (#3289)

 - Stringify non-string data to NetstringReceiver.sendString before
   calculating the length so that the calculated length is equal to
   the actual length of the transported data. (#3299)

 - twisted.python.win32.cmdLineQuote now correctly quotes empty
   strings arguments (#3876)

 - Change the behavior of the Gtk2Reactor to register only one source
   watch for each file descriptor, instead of one for reading and one
   for writing. In particular, it fixes a bug with Glib under Windows
   where we failed to notify when a client is connected. (#3925)

 - Twisted Trial no longer crashes if it can't remove an old
   _trial_temp directory.  (#4020)

 - The optional _c_urlarg extension now handles unquote("") correctly
   on platforms where malloc(0) returns NULL, such as AIX.  It also
   compiles with less warnings. (#4142)

 - On POSIX, child processes created with reactor.spawnProcess will no
   longer automatically ignore the signals which the parent process
   has set to be ignored. (#4199)

 - All SOCKSv4a tests now use a dummy reactor with a deterministic
   resolve method. (#4275)

 - Prevent extraneous server, date and content-type headers in proxy
   responses. (#4277)

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
 - twisted.internet.error.PotentialZombieWarning is now deprecated.
   (#2078)

 - twisted.test.time_helpers is now deprecated. (#3719)

 - The deprecated connectUDP method of IReactorUDP has now been
   removed. (#4075)

 - twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase now ignores the previously
   deprecated setUpClass and tearDownClass methods. (#4175)

 - twisted.mail.imap4.IMAP4Client will no longer misparse all html-
   formatted message bodies received in response to a fetch command.
   (#4049)

Twisted Web 10.0.0 (2010-03-01)
===============================

Features
--------
 - Twisted Web in 60 Seconds, a series of short tutorials with self-
   contained examples on a range of common web topics, is now a part
   of the Twisted Web howto documentation. (#4192)

Bugfixes
--------
 - Data and File from twisted.web.static and
   twisted.web.distrib.UserDirectory will now only generate a 200
   response for GET or HEAD requests.
   twisted.web.client.HTTPPageGetter will no longer ignore the case of
   a request method when considering whether to apply special HEAD
   processing to a response. (#446)

 - twisted.web.http.HTTPClient now supports multi-line headers.
   (#2062)

 - Resources served via twisted.web.distrib will no longer encounter a
   Banana error when writing more than 640kB at once to the request
   object. (#3212)

 - The Error, PageRedirect, and InfiniteRedirection exception in
   twisted.web now initialize an empty message parameter by mapping
   the HTTP status code parameter to a descriptive string. Previously
   the lookup would always fail, leaving message empty.  (#3806)

 - The 'wsgi.input' WSGI environment object now supports -1 and None
   as arguments to the read and readlines methods. (#4114)

 - twisted.web.wsgi doesn't unquote QUERY_STRING anymore, thus
   complying with the WSGI reference implementation. (#4143)

 - The HTTP proxy will no longer pass on keep-alive request headers
   from the client, preventing pages from loading then "hanging"
   (leaving the connection open with no hope of termination). (#4179)

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
 - Remove '--static' option from twistd web, that served as an alias
   for the '--path' option. (#3907)

   versionEnv attributes are set to None, they will no longer be
   included in the client's response to CTCP VERSION queries. (#3660)

 - twisted.words.protocols.jabber.xmlstream.hashPassword now only
   accepts unicode as input (#3741, #3742, #3847)

 - TestCase.flushWarnings now flushes warnings even if they were produced by a
   file that was renamed since it was byte compiled (#3598)
 - Some internal file descriptors are now marked as close-on-exec, so these will
   no longer be leaked to child processes (#3576)
 - twisted.python.zipstream now correctly extracts the first file in a directory
   as a file, and not an empty directory (#3625)

   rather than *providing* them (#3646)
 - SIP Via header parameters should now be correctly generated (#2194)
 - The Deferred returned by stopListening would sometimes previously never fire
   if an exception was raised by the underlying file descriptor's connectionLost
   method. Now the Deferred will fire with a failure (#3654)

 - Twisted command line scripts should now work when installed in a virtualenv
   (#3750)
 - Trial will no longer delete temp directories which it did not create (#3481)
 - Processes started on Windows should now be cleaned up properly in more cases
   (#3893)
 - Certain misbehaving importers will no longer cause twisted.python.modules

 - MemCache client protocol methods will now fail when the transport has been
   disconnected (#3643)
 - In the AMP method callRemoteString, the requiresAnswer parameter is now
   honored (#3999)
 - Spawning a "script" (a file which starts with a #! line) on Windows running
   Python 2.6 will now work instead of raising an exception about file mode
   "ru" (#3567)
 - FilePath's walk method now calls its "descend" parameter even on the first
   level of children, instead of only on grandchildren. This allows for better
   symlink cycle detection (#3911)
 - Attempting to write unicode data to process pipes on Windows will no longer
   result in arbitrarily encoded messages being written to the pipe, but instead
   will immediately raise an error (#3930)
 - The various twisted command line utilities will no longer print
   ModuleType.__doc__ when Twisted was installed with setuptools (#4030)

Twisted Conch 9.0.0 (2009-11-24)
================================

Fixes
-----
 - The SSH key parser has been removed and conch now uses pyASN1 to parse keys.
   This should fix a number of cases where parsing a key would fail, but it now
   requires users to have pyASN1 installed (#3391)
 - The time field on SFTP file listings should now be correct (#3503)
 - The day field on SFTP file listings should now be correct on Windows (#3503)

   (#3498)
 - Use of strings and PyCrypto objects to represent keys is deprecated in favor
   of using Conch Key objects (#2682)

Twisted Lore 9.0.0 (2009-11-24)
===============================

Features
--------
 - Python source listings now include line numbers (#3486)

   fixes some Lore bugs such as throwing away certain whitespace
   (#3560, #414, #3619)
 - Lore's "lint" command should no longer break on documents with links in them
   (#4051, #4115)

Fixes
-----
 - Parse UNSEEN response data and include it in the result of
   IMAP4Client.examine (#3550)
 - The IMAP4 client now delivers more unsolicited server responses to callbacks
   rather than ignoring them, and also won't ignore solicited responses that

   #1219)
 - A case where the SMTP client could skip some recipients when retrying

 - Errors during certain data transfers will no longer be swallowed. They will
   now bubble up to the higher-level API (such as the sendmail function) (#3642)
 - Escape sequences inside quoted strings in IMAP4 should now be parsed
   correctly by the IMAP4 server protocol (#3659)
 - The "imap4-utf-7" codec that is registered by twisted.mail.imap4 had a number
   of fixes that allow it to work better with the Python codecs system, and to
   actually work (#3663)
 - The Maildir implementation now ensures time-based ordering of filenames so
   that the lexical sorting of messages matches the order in which they were
   received (#3812)
 - SASL PLAIN credentials generated by the IMAP4 protocol implementations
   (client and server) should now be RFC-compliant (#3939)
 - Searching for a set of sequences using the IMAP4 "SEARCH" command should 
   now work on the IMAP4 server protocol implementation. This at least improves
   support for the Pine mail client (#1977)

   users to specify the environment in which a process will be run (#3691)

Other
-----
 - #3540

 - The HTTP auth support in the web server now allows anonymous sessions by
   logging in with ANONYMOUS credentials when no Authorization header is
   provided in a request (#3924, #3936)
 - HTTPClientFactory now accepts a parameter to enable a common deviation from
   the HTTP 1.1 standard by responding to redirects in a POSTed request with a
   GET instead of another POST (#3624)

   (#886, #3987)

Fixes
-----
 - Requests for "insecure" children of a static.File (such as paths containing
   encoded directory separators) will now result in a 404 instead of a 500
   (#3549, #3469)
 - When specifying a followRedirect argument to the getPage function, the state
   of redirect-following for other getPage calls should now be unaffected.  It
   was previously overwriting a class attribute which would affect outstanding
   getPage calls (#3192)
 - Downloading an URL of the form "http://example.com:/" will now work,
   ignoring the extraneous colon (#2402)
 - microdom's appendChild method will no longer issue a spurious warning, and
   microdom's methods in general should now issue more meaningful exceptions
   when invalid parameters are passed (#3421)
 - WSGI applications will no longer have spurious Content-Type headers added to
   their responses by the twisted.web server. In addition, WSGI applications
   will no longer be able to specify the server-restricted headers Server and

 - http_headers.Headers now normalizes the case of raw headers passed directly
   to it in the same way that it normalizes the headers passed to setRawHeaders
   (#3557)

 - twisted.web.domhelpers now works with both microdom and minidom (#3600)
 - twisted.web servers will now ignore invalid If-Modified-Since headers instead
   of returning a 500 error (#3601)
 - Certain request-bound memory and file resources are cleaned up slightly
   sooner by the request when the connection is lost (#1621, #3176)
 - xmlrpclib.DateTime objects should now correctly round-trip over twisted.web's
   XMLRPC support in all supported versions of Python, and errors during error
   serialization will no longer hang a twisted.web XMLRPC response (#2446)
 - request.content should now always be seeked to the beginning when
   request.process is called, so application code should never need to seek 
   back manually (#3585)
 - Fetching a child of static.File with a double-slash in the URL (such as
   "example//foo.html") should now return a 404 instead of a traceback and
   500 error (#3631)
 - downloadPage will now fire a Failure on its returned Deferred instead of
   indicating success when the connection is prematurely lost (#3645)
 - static.File will now provide a 404 instead of a 500 error when it was
   constructed with a non-existent file (#3634)

 - The HTTP Auth support resource wrapper should no longer corrupt requests and
   cause them to skip a segment in the request path (#3679)
 - The twisted.web WSGI support should now include leading slashes in PATH_INFO,
   and SCRIPT_NAME will be empty if the application is at the root of the
   resource tree. This means that WSGI applications should no longer generate
   URLs with double-slashes in them even if they naively concatenate the values
   (#3721)
 - WSGI applications should now receive the requesting client's IP in the
   REMOTE_ADDR environment variable (#3730)

   refactoring of twisted.web's header support (#3697)
 - static.File now supports multiple ranges specified in the Range header
   (#3574)
 - static.File should now generate a correct Content-Length value when the
   requested Range value doesn't fit entirely within the file's contents (#3814)
 - Attempting to call request.finish() after the connection has been lost will
   now immediately raise a RuntimeError (#4013)
 - An HTTP-auth resource should now be able to directly render the wrapped
   avatar, whereas before it would only allow retrieval of child resources
   (#4014)
 - twisted.web's wsgi support should no longer attempt to call request.finish
   twice, which would cause errors in certain cases (#4025)
 - WSGI applications should now be able to handle requests with large bodies
   (#4029)
 - Exceptions raised from WSGI applications should now more reliably be turned
   into 500 errors on the HTTP level (#4019)
 - DeferredResource now correctly passes through exceptions raised from the
   wrapped resource, instead of turning them all into 500 errors (#3932)
 - Agent.request now generates a Host header when no headers are passed at
   (#4131)

   various things have been deprecated (#3457)
   - the loopFactory attribute is now ignored

   ISUPPORT server->client message, storing the data in a new
   ServerSupportedFeatures object accessible via IRCClient.supported (#3285)

Fixes
-----
