Twisted Core 11.0.0 (2011-04-01)
================================
Features
--------
- The reactor is not restartable, but it would previously fail to
complain. Now, when you restart an unrestartable reactor, you get
an exception. (#2066)
- twisted.plugin now only emits a short log message, rather than a
full traceback, if there is a problem writing out the dropin cache
file. (#2409)
- Added a 'replacement' parameter to the
'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'
as a command-line argument. Instead, it will emit an error message.
(#3172)
- IOCPReactor now sends immediate completions to the main loop
(#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)
- twisted.web.server will now produce a correct Allow header when a
particular render_FOO method is missing. (#3678)
- HEAD requests made to resources whose HEAD handling defaults to
calling render_GET now always receive a response with no body.
(#3684)
- trial now loads decorated test methods whether or not the decorator
preserves the original method name. (#3909)
- t.p.amp.AmpBox.serialize will now correctly consistently complain
when being fed Unicode. (#3931)
- twisted.internet.wxreactor now supports stopping more reliably.
(#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
before and after processing each call (#4823)
- ConnectionLost is now in twisted.internet.error.__all__ instead of
twisted.words.protocols.jabber.xmlstream.__all__. (#4856)
- twisted.internet.process now detects the most appropriate mechanism
to use for detecting the open file descriptors on a system, getting
Twisted working on FreeBSD even when fdescfs is not mounted.
(#4881)
- twisted.words.services referenced nonexistent
twisted.words.protocols.irc.IRC_NOSUCHCHANNEL. This has been fixed.
Related code has also received test cases. (#4915)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- The INSTALL file now lists all of Twisted's dependencies. (#967)
- Added the stopService and startService methods to all finger
example files. (#3375)
- Missing reactor.run() calls were added in the UDP and client howto
documents. (#3834)
- The maxRetries attribute of
twisted.internet.protocols.RetryingClientFactory now has API
documentation. (#4618)
- Lore docs pointed to a template that no longer existed, this has
been fixed. (#4682)
- The `servers` argument to `twisted.names.client.createResolver` now
has more complete API documentation. (#4713)
- Linked to the Twisted endpoints tutorial from the Twisted core
howto list. (#4773)
- The Endpoints howto now links to the API documentation. (#4774)
- The Quotes howto is now more clear in its PYTHONPATH setup
instructions. (#4785)
- The API documentation for DeferredList's fireOnOneCallback
parameter now gives the correct order of the elements of the result
tuple. (#4882)
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- returning a value other than None from IProtocol.dataReceived was
deprecated (#2491)
- Deprecated the --extra option in trial. (#3372)

removed from twisted.internet.address.IPv4Address and
twisted.internet.address.UNIXAddress classes UNIXAddress and
IPv4Address properties _bwHack are now deprecated in
twisted.internet.address (#4817)
- twisted.python.reflect.allYourBase is now no longer used, replaced
with inspect.getmro (#4928)
- allYourBase and accumulateBases are now deprecated in favor of
inspect.getmro. (#4946)

Twisted Conch 11.0.0 (2011-04-01)
=================================
Bugfixes
--------
- The transport for subsystem protocols now declares that it
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)
Other
-----
- #2112
Twisted Lore 11.0.0 (2011-04-01)

================================
Features
--------
- The `twistd mail` command line now accepts endpoint descriptions
for POP3 and SMTP servers. (#4739)
- The twistd mail plugin now accepts new authentication options via
strcred.AuthOptionMixin. These include --auth, --auth-help, and
authentication type-specific help options. (#4740)
Bugfixes
--------
- twisted.mail.imap4.IMAP4Server now generates INTERNALDATE strings
which do not consider the locale. (#4937)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Added a simple SMTP example, showing how to use sendmail. (#4042)
Other
-----
- #4162

Twisted Web 11.0.0 (2011-04-01)
===============================
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)
Other
-----
- #2271, #2386, #4162, #4733, #4855, #4911, #4973

=================================
Features
--------
- twisted.words.protocols.irc.IRCClient now has an invite method.
(#4820)
Bugfixes
--------
- twisted.words.protocols.irc.IRCClient.say is once again able to
send messages when using the default value for the length limit
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
