Twisted Core 11.1.0 (2011-11-15)
================================
Features
--------
- TCP and TLS transports now support abortConnection() which, unlike
loseConnection(), always closes the connection immediately. (#78)
- Failures received over PB when tracebacks are disabled now display
the wrapped exception value when they are printed. (#581)
- twistd now has a --logger option, allowing the use of custom log
observers. (#638)
- The default reactor is now poll(2) on platforms that support it.
(#2234)
- twisted.internet.defer.inlineCallbacks(f) now raises TypeError when
f returns something other than a generator or uses returnValue as a
non-generator. (#2501)
- twisted.python.usage.Options now supports performing Zsh tab-
completion on demand. Tab-completion for Twisted commands is
supported out-of-the-box on any recent zsh release. Third-party
commands may take advantage of zsh completion by copying the
provided stub file. (#3078)
- twisted.protocols.portforward now uses flow control between its
client and server connections to avoid having to buffer an
unbounded amount of data when one connection is slower than the
other. (#3350)
- On Windows, the select, IOCP, and Gtk2 reactors now implement
IReactorWin32Events (most notably adding support for serial ports
to these reactors). (#4862)
- twisted.python.failure.Failure no longer captures the state of
locals and globals of all stack frames by default, because it is
expensive to do and rarely used. You can pass captureVars=True to
Failure's constructor if you want to capture this data. (#5011)
- twisted.web.client now supports automatic content-decoding via
twisted.web.client.ContentDecoderAgent, gzip being supported for
now. (#5053)
- Protocols may now implement ILoggingContext to customize their
logging prefix. twisted.protocols.policies.ProtocolWrapper and the
endpoints wrapper now take advantage of this feature to ensure the
application protocol is still reflected in logs. (#5062)
- AMP's raw message-parsing performance was increased by
approximately 12%. (#5075)
- Twisted is now installable on PyPy, because some incompatible C
extensions are no longer built. (#5158)
- twisted.internet.defer.gatherResults now accepts a consumeErrors
parameter, with the same meaning as the corresponding argument for
DeferredList. (#5159)
- Added RMD (remove directory) support to the FTP client. (#5259)
- Server factories may now implement ILoggingContext to customize the
name that is logged when the reactor uses one to start listening on
a port. (#5292)
- The implementations of ITransport.writeSequence will now raise
TypeError if passed unicode strings. (#3896)
- iocp reactor now operates correctly on 64 bit Python runtimes.
(#4669)
- twistd ftp now supports the cred plugin. (#4752)
- twisted.python.filepath.FilePath now has an API to retrieve the
permissions of the underlying file, and two methods to determine
whether it is a block device or a socket. (#4813)
- twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase is now compatible with Python 2.7's
assertDictEqual method. (#5291)
Bugfixes
--------
- The IOCP reactor now does not try to erroneously pause non-
streaming producers. (#745)
- Unicode print statements no longer blow up when using Twisted's
logging system. (#1990)
- Process transports on Windows now support the `writeToChild` method
(but only for stdin). (#2838)
- Zsh tab-completion of Twisted commands no longer relies on
statically generated files, but instead generates results on-the-
fly - ensuring accurate tab-completion for the version of Twisted
actually in use. (#3078)
- LogPublishers don't use the global log publisher for reporting
broken observers anymore. (#3307)
- trial and twistd now add the current directory to sys.path even
when running as root or on Windows. mktap, tapconvert, and
pyhtmlizer no longer add the current directory to sys.path. (#3526)
- twisted.internet.win32eventreactor now stops immediately if
reactor.stop() is called from an IWriteDescriptor.doWrite
implementation instead of delaying shutdown for an arbitrary period
of time. (#3824)
- twisted.python.log now handles RuntimeErrors more gracefully, and
always restores log observers after an exception is raised. (#4379)
- twisted.spread now supports updating new-style RemoteCache
instances. (#4447)
- twisted.spread.pb.CopiedFailure will no longer be thrown into a
generator as a (deprecated) string exception but as a
twisted.spread.pb.RemoteException. (#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. (#5011)
- twisted.python.filepath.FilePath.copyTo now raises OSError(ENOENT)
if the source path being copied does not exist. (#5017)
- twisted.python.modules now supports iterating over namespace
packages without yielding duplicates. (#5030)
- reactor.spawnProcess now uses the resource module to guess the
maximum possible open file descriptor when /dev/fd exists but gives
incorrect results. (#5052)
- The memory BIO TLS/SSL implementation now supports producers
correctly. (#5063)
- twisted.spread.pb.Broker no longer creates an uncollectable
reference cycle when the logout callback holds a reference to the
client mind object. (#5079)
- twisted.protocols.tls, and SSL/TLS support in general, now do clean
TLS close alerts when disconnecting. (#5118)
- twisted.persisted.styles no longer uses the deprecated allYourBase
function (#5193)
- Stream client endpoints now start (doStart) and stop (doStop) the
factory passed to the connect method, instead of a different
implementation-detail factory. (#5278)
- SSL ports now consistently report themselves as SSL rather than TCP
when logging their close message. (#5292)
- Serial ports now deliver connectionLost to the protocol when
closed. (#3690)
- win32eventreactor now behaves better in certain rare cases in which
it previously would have failed to deliver connection lost
notification to a protocol. (#5233)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Test driven development with Twisted and Trial is now documented in
a how-to. (#2443)
- A new howto-style document covering twisted.protocols.amp has been
added. (#3476)
- Added sample implementation of a Twisted push producer/consumer
system. (#3835)
- The "Deferred in Depth" tutorial now includes accurate output for
the deferred_ex2.py example. (#3941)
- The server howto now covers the Factory.buildProtocol method.
(#4761)
- The testing standard and the trial tutorial now recommend the
`assertEqual` form of assertions rather than the `assertEquals` to
coincide with the standard library unittest's preference. (#4989)
- twisted.python.filepath.FilePath's methods now have more complete
API documentation (docstrings). (#5027)
- The Clients howto now uses buildProtocol more explicitly, hopefully
making it easier to understand where Protocol instances come from.
(#5044)
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- twisted.internet.interfaces.IFinishableConsumer is now deprecated.
(#2661)
- twisted.python.zshcomp is now deprecated in favor of the tab-
completion system in twisted.python.usage (#3078)
- The unzip and unzipIter functions in twisted.python.zipstream are

arguments to object.__init__ (which works on more versions of
Python). (#4197)
- twisted.conch.telnet.ITelnetProtocol now has the correct signature
for its unhandledSubnegotiation() method. (#4751)

follows the RFC 4251 definition of boolean values when negotiating
for key-based authentication, allowing better interoperability with
other SSH implementations. (#5241)
- twisted.conch.recvline.RecvLine now ignores certain function keys
in its keystrokeReceived method instead of raising an exception.
(#5246)
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- The --user option to `twistd manhole' has been removed as it was
dead code with no functionality associated with it. (#5283)

full traceback, if there is a problem writing out the dropin cache
file. (#2409)

'twisted.python.deprecate.deprecated' decorator. This allows
deprecations to unambiguously specify what they have been
deprecated in favor of. (#3047)
- Added access methods to FilePath for FilePath.statinfo's st_ino,
st_dev, st_nlink, st_uid, and st_gid fields. This is in
preparation for the deprecation of FilePath.statinfo. (#4712)
- IPv4Address and UNIXAddress now have a __hash__ method. (#4783)
- twisted.protocols.ftp.FTP.ftp_STOR now catches `FTPCmdError`s
raised by the file writer, and returns the error back to the
client. (#4909)
Bugfixes
--------
- twistd will no longer fail if a non-root user passes --uid 'myuid'

(#3233)
- trial can now load test methods from multiple classes, even if the
methods all happen to be inherited from the same base class.
(#3383)

(#3948)
- reactor.spawnProcess on Windows can now handle ASCII-encodable
Unicode strings in the system environment (#3964)
- When C-extensions are not complied for twisted, on python2.4, skip
a test in twisted.internet.test.test_process that may hang due to a
SIGCHLD related problem. Running 'python setup.py build_ext
--inplace' will compile the extension and cause the test to both
run and pass. (#4331)
- twisted.python.logfile.LogFile now raises a descriptive exception
when passed a log directoy which does not exist. (#4701)
- Fixed a bug where Inotify will fail to add a filepatch to watchlist
after it has been added/ignored previously. (#4708)
- IPv4Address and UNIXAddress object comparison operators fixed
(#4817)
- twisted.internet.task.Clock now sorts the list of pending calls

to use for detecting the open file descriptors on a system, getting
Twisted working on FreeBSD even when fdescfs is not mounted.
(#4881)

implements ITransport and implements the getHost and getPeer
methods. (#2453)
- twisted.conch.ssh.transport.SSHTransportBase now responds to key
exchange messages at any time during a connection (instead of only
at connection setup). It also queues non-key exchange messages
sent during key exchange to avoid corrupting the connection state.
(#4395)
- Importing twisted.conch.ssh.common no longer breaks pow(base, exp[,
modulus]) when the gmpy package is installed and base is not an
integer. (#4803)
- twisted.conch.ls.lsLine now returns a time string which does not
consider the locale. (#4937)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Changed the man page for ckeygen to accurately reflect what it
does, and corrected its synposis so that a second "ckeygen" is not
a required part of the ckeygen command line. (#4738)

Features
--------
- twisted.web._newclient.HTTPParser (and therefore Agent) now handles
HTTP headers delimited by bare LF newlines. (#3833)
- twisted.web.client.downloadPage now accepts the `afterFoundGet`
parameter, with the same meaning as the `getPage` parameter of the
same name. (#4364)
- twisted.web.xmlrpc.Proxy constructor now takes additional 'timeout'
and 'reactor' arguments. The 'timeout' argument defaults to 30
seconds. (#4741)
- Twisted Web now has a templating system, twisted.web.template,
which is a direct, simplified derivative of Divmod Nevow. (#4939)
Bugfixes
--------
- HTTPPageGetter now adds the port to the host header if it is not
the default for that scheme. (#3857)
- twisted.web.http.Request.write now raises an exception if it is
called after response generation has already finished. (#4317)
- twisted.web.client.HTTPPageGetter and twisted.web.client.getPage
now no longer make two requests when using afterFoundGet. (#4760)
- twisted.web.twcgi no longer adds an extra "content-type" header to
CGI responses. (#4786)
- twisted.web will now properly specify an encoding (UTF-8) on error,
redirect, and directory listing pages, so that IE7 and previous
will not improperly guess the 'utf7' encoding in these cases.
Please note that Twisted still sets a *default* content-type of
'text/html', and you shouldn't rely on that: you should set the
encoding appropriately in your application. (#4900)
- twisted.web.http.Request.setHost now sets the port in the host
header if it is not the default. (#4918)
- default NOT_IMPLEMENTED and NOT_ALLOWED pages now quote the request
method and URI respectively, to protect against browsers which
don't quote those values for us. (#4978)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- The XML-RPC howto now includes an example demonstrating how to
access the HTTP request object in a server-side XML-RPC method.
(#4732)
- The Twisted Web client howto now uses the correct, public name for
twisted.web.client.Response. (#4769)
- Some broken links were fixed, descriptions were updated, and new
API links were added in the Resource Templating documentation
(resource-templates.xhtml) (#4968)

argument. (#4758)
- twisted.words.protocols.jabber.jstrports is once again able to
parse jstrport description strings. (#4771)
- twisted.words.protocols.msn.NotificationClient now calls the
loginFailure callback when it is unable to connect to the Passport
server due to missing SSL dependencies. (#4801)
- twisted.words.protocols.jabber.xmpp_stringprep now always uses
Unicode version 3.2 for stringprep normalization. (#4850)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Removed the non-working AIM bot example, depending on the obsolete
twisted.words.protocols.toc functionality. (#4007)
- Outdated GUI-related information was removed from the IM howto.
(#4054)
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- Remove twisted.words.protocols.toc, that was largely non-working
and useless since AOL disabled TOC on their AIM network. (#4363)

-----
- #4733, #4902
Twisted Core 10.2.0 (2010-11-29)
================================
Features
--------

fixed, including several segfaults, as it now uses PyObjC and
longer requires C code in Twisted. (#1833)
- twisted.protocols.ftp.FTPRealm now accepts a parameter to override
"/home" as the container for user directories. The new
BaseFTPRealm class in the same module also allows easy
implementation of custom user directory schemes. (#2179)

now have a descendant method to simplify code which calls the child
method repeatedly. (#3169)
- twisted.python.failure._Frame objects now support fake f_locals
attribute. (#4045)
- twisted.internet.endpoints now has 'serverFromString' and
'clientFromString' APIs for constructing endpoints from descriptive
strings. (#4473)

same result to shorten its summary output. (#4487)
- The new class twisted.protocols.ftp.SystemFTPRealm implements an
FTP realm which uses system accounts to select home directories.
(#4494)
- twisted.internet.reactor.spawnProcess now wastes less time trying

using zope.interface.Attribute. (#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. (#4378)
- reactor.listenUDP now returns an object which declares that it
implements IListeningPort. (#4462)
- twisted.python.randbytes no longer uses PyCrypto as a secure random
number source (since it is not one). (#4468)
- twisted.internet.main.installReactor now blocks installation of
another reactor when using python -O (#4476)
- twisted.python.deprecate.deprecatedModuleAttribute now emits only
one warning when used to deprecate a package attribute which is a
module. (#4492)
- The "brief" mode of twisted.python.failure.Failure.getTraceback now
handles exceptions raised by the underlying exception's __str__
method. (#4501)
- twisted.words.xish.domish now correctly parses XML with namespaces
which include whitespace. (#4503)
- twisted.names.authority.FileAuthority now generates correct
negative caching hints, marks its referral NS RRs as non-
authoritative, and correctly generates referrals for ALL_RECORDS
requests. (#4513)
- twisted.internet.test.reactormixins.ReactorBuilder's attribute
`requiredInterface` (which should an interface) is now
`requiredInterfaces` (a list of interfaces) as originally described
per the documentation. (#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)

'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. (#4478)
- trial's man page now documents the --disablegc option in more
detail. (#4511)
- trial's coverage output format is now documented in the trial man
page. (#4512)
- Broken links and spelling errors in the finger tutorial are now
fixed. (#4516)
- twisted.internet.threads.blockingCallFromThread's docstring is now
explicit about Deferred support. (#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. (#4542)
- Tidied up the Twisted Conch documentation for easier conversion.
(#4566)
- Use correct Twisted version for when cancellation was introduced in
the Deferred docstring. (#4614)
- The logging howto is now more clear about how the standard library
logging module and twisted.python.log can be integrated. (#4642)
- The finger tutorial still had references to .tap files. This
reference has now been removed. The documentation clarifies
"finger.tap" is a module and not a filename. (#4679)
- The finger tutorial had a broken link to the
twisted.application.service.Service class, which is now fixed.
Additionally, a minor typo ('verison') was fixed. (#4681)
- twisted.protocols.policies.TimeoutMixin now has clearer API
documentation. (#4684)
Deprecations and Removals
