changelog Twisted Core 10.2.0 (2010-11-29) ================================ Features -------- - twisted.internet.cfreactor has been significantly improved. It now runs, and passes, the test suite. Many, many bugs in it have been 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) - twisted.python.filepath.FilePath and twisted.python.zippath.ZipPath 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) - The default trial reporter now combines reporting of tests with the 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 to close non-existent file descriptors on POSIX platforms. (#4522) - twisted.internet.win32eventreactor now declares that it implements a new twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorWin32Events interface. (#4523) - twisted.application.service.IProcess now documents its attributes 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) - Twisted can now be built with the LLVM clang compiler, with '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.

(#4546) - twisted.python.threadable.whenThreaded, deprecated since Twisted 2.2.0, has been removed. (#4550) - twisted.python.timeoutqueue, deprecated since Twisted 8.0, has been removed. (#4551) - iocpreactor transports can no longer be pickled. (#4617) Other ----- - #4300, #4475, #4477, #4504, #4556, #4562, #4564, #4569, #4608, #4616, #4617, #4626, #4630, #4650, #4705 Twisted Conch 10.2.0 (2010-11-29) ================================= Bugfixes -------- - twisted.conch.ssh.factory.SSHFactory no longer disables coredumps. (#2715) - The Deferred returned by twisted.conch.telnet.TelnetTransport.will now fires with an OptionRefused failure if the peer responds with a refusal for the option negotiation.
