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 10.0.0 (2010-03-01)
================================
Bugfixes

- twisted.mail.smtp.ESMTPClient and
twisted.mail.smtp.LOGINAuthenticator now implement the (obsolete)
LOGIN SASL mechanism according to the draft specification. (#4031)
- twisted.mail.imap4.IMAP4Client will no longer misparse all html-
formatted message bodies received in response to a fetch command.
(#4049)
- The regression in IMAP4 search handling of "OR" and "NOT" terms has
been fixed. (#4178)

Twisted Names 10.0.0 (2010-03-01)
=================================
Bugfixes
--------
- twisted.names.root.Resolver no longer leaks UDP sockets while
resolving names. (#970)
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- Several top-level functions in twisted.names.root are now
deprecated. (#970)

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)
Other
-----
- #2503, #4066, #4261
