History

v8.3.1

25 Dec 2016

  • #1537: Disable dependency on pypiwin32 on Python 3.6 until a viable build of pypiwin32 can be made on that Python version.

v8.3.0

24 Dec 2016

  • Consolidated some documentation and include the more concise readme in the package long description, as found on PyPI.

v8.2.0

23 Dec 2016

  • #1463: CherryPy tests are now run under pytest and invoked using tox.

v8.1.3

16 Dec 2016

  • #1530: Fix the issue with TypeError being swallowed by decorated handlers.

v8.1.2

28 Sep 2016

v8.1.1

27 Sep 2016

  • #1497: Handle errors thrown by ssl_module: 'builtin' when client opens connection to HTTPS port using HTTP.
  • #1350: Fix regression introduced in v6.1.0 where environment construction for WSGIGateway_u0 was passing one parameter and not two.
  • Other miscellaneous fixes.

v8.1.0

04 Sep 2016

  • #1473: HTTPError now also works as a context manager.
  • #1487: The sessions tool now accepts a storage_class parameter, which supersedes the new deprecated storage_type parameter. The storage_class should be the actual Session subclass to be used.
  • Releases now use setuptools_scm to track the release versions. Therefore, releases can be cut by simply tagging a commit in the repo. Versions numbers are now stored in exactly one place.

v8.0.1

03 Sep 2016

  • #1489 via #1493: Additionally reject anything else that’s not bytes.
  • #1492: systemd socket activation.

v8.0.0

02 Sep 2016

  • #1483: Remove Deprecated constructs:
    • cherrypy.lib.http module.
    • unrepr, modules, and attributes in cherrypy.lib.
  • #1476: Drop support for python-memcached<1.58
  • #1401: Handle NoSSLErrors.
  • #1489: In wsgiserver.WSGIGateway.respond, the application must now yield bytes and not text, as the spec requires. If text is received, it will now raise a ValueError instead of silently encoding using ISO-8859-1.
  • Removed unicode filename from the package, working around pip #3894 and setuptools #704.

7.1.0

# 1458: Implement systemd’s socket activation mechanism for

CherryPy servers, based on work sponsored by Endless Computers.

Socket Activation allows one to setup a system so that systemd will sit on a port and start services ‘on demand’ (a little bit like inetd and xinetd used to do).

7.0.0

Removed the long-deprecated backward compatibility for legacy config keys in the engine. Use the config for the namespaced-plugins instead:

  • autoreload_on -> autoreload.on
  • autoreload_frequency -> autoreload.frequency
  • autoreload_match -> autoreload.match
  • reload_files -> autoreload.files
  • deadlock_poll_frequency -> timeout_monitor.frequency

6.2.1

# 1460: Fix KeyError in Bus.publish when signal handlers
set in config.

6.2.0

  • #1441: Added tool to automatically convert request params based on type annotations (primarily in Python 3). For example:

    @cherrypy.tools.params() def resource(self, limit: int):

    assert isinstance(limit, int)

6.1.1

  • Issue #1411: Fix issue where autoreload fails when the host interpreter for CherryPy was launched using python -m.

6.1.0

  • Combined wsgiserver2 and wsgiserver3 modules into a single module, cherrypy.wsgiserver.

6.0.2

6.0.1

  • Issue #1444: Correct typos in @cherrypy.expose decorators.

6.0.0

  • Setuptools is now required to build CherryPy. Pure distutils installs are no longer supported. This change allows CherryPy to depend on other packages and re-use code from them. It’s still possible to install pre-built CherryPy packages (wheels) using pip without Setuptools.
  • six is now a requirement and subsequent requirements will be declared in the project metadata.
  • #1440: Back out changes from #1432 attempting to fix redirects with Unicode URLs, as it also had the unintended consequence of causing the ‘Location’ to be bytes on Python 3.
  • cherrypy.expose now works on classes.
  • cherrypy.config decorator is now used throughout the code internally.

5.6.0

  • @cherrypy.expose now will also set the exposed attribute on a class.
  • Rewrote all tutorials and internal usage to prefer the decorator usage of expose rather than setting the attribute explicitly.
  • Removed test-specific code from tutorials.

5.5.0

  • #1397: Fix for filenames with semicolons and quote characters in filenames found in headers.
  • #1311: Added decorator for registering tools.
  • #1194: Use simpler encoding rules for SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO environment variables in CherryPy Tree allowing non-latin characters to pass even when wsgi.version is not u.0.
  • #1352: Ensure that multipart fields are decoded even when cached in a file.

5.4.0

  • cherrypy.test.webtest.WebCase now honors a ‘WEBTEST_INTERACTIVE’ environment variable to disable interactive tests (still enabled by default). Set to ‘0’ or ‘false’ or ‘False’ to disable interactive tests.
  • #1408: Fix AttributeError when listiterator was accessed using the next attribute.
  • #748: Removed cherrypy.lib.sessions.PostgresqlSession.
  • #1432: Fix errors with redirects to Unicode URLs.

5.3.0

  • #1202: Add support for specifying a certificate authority when serving SSL using the built-in SSL support.
  • Use ssl.create_default_context when available.
  • #1392: Catch platform-specific socket errors on OS X.
  • #1386: Fix parsing of URIs containing :// in the path part.

5.2.0

5.1.0

10 Mar 2016

  • Bugfix issue #1315 for test_HTTP11_pipelining test in Python 3.5
  • Bugfix issue #1382 regarding the keyword arguments support for Python 3 on the config file.
  • Bugfix issue #1406 for test_2_KeyboardInterrupt test in Python 3.5. by monkey patching the HTTPRequest given a bug on CPython that is affecting the testsuite (https://bugs.python.org/issue23377).
  • Add additional parameter raise_subcls to the tests helpers openURL and CPWebCase.getPage to have finer control on which exceptions can be raised.
  • Add support for direct keywords on the calls (e.g. foo=bar) on the config file under Python 3.
  • Add additional validation to determine if the process is running as a daemon on cherrypy.process.plugins.SignalHandler to allow the execution of the testsuite under CI tools.

05 Feb 2016

  • Bugfix for NameError following #94.

5.0.0

04 Feb 2016

  • Removed deprecated support for ssl_certificate and ssl_private_key attributes and implicit construction of SSL adapter on Python 2 WSGI servers.
  • Default SSL Adapter on Python 2 is the builtin SSL adapter, matching Python 3 behavior.
  • Pull request #94: In proxy tool, defer to Host header for resolving the base if no base is supplied.

4.0.0

19 Dec 2015

  • Drop support for Python 2.5 and earlier.
  • No longer build Windows installers by default.

3.8.2

  • CherryPy daemon may now be invoked with python -m cherrypy in addition to the cherryd script.
  • Issue #1298: Fix SSL handling on CPython 2.7 with builtin SSL module and pyOpenSSL 0.14. This change will break PyPy for now.
