daphne/CHANGELOG.txt

Full release notes, with more details and upgrade information, are available at:
https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releases


1.0.2 (2017-02-01)
------------------

* Database connections are no longer force-closed after each test is run.

* Channel sessions are not re-saved if they're empty even if they're marked as
  modified, allowing logout to work correctly.

* WebsocketDemultiplexer now correctly does sessions for the second/third/etc.
  connect and disconnect handlers.

* Request reading timeouts now correctly return 408 rather than erroring out.

* The ``rundelay`` delay server now only polls the database once per second,
  and this interval is configurable with the ``--sleep`` option.


1.0.2 (2017-01-12)
------------------

* Websockets can now be closed from anywhere using the new ``WebsocketCloseException``.
  There is also a generic ``ChannelSocketException`` so you can do custom behaviours.

* Calling ``Channel.send`` or ``Group.send`` from outside a consumer context
  (i.e. in tests or management commands) will once again send the message immediately.

* The base implementation of databinding now correctly only calls ``group_names(instance)``,
  as documented.


1.0.1 (2017-01-09)
------------------

* WebSocket generic views now accept connections by default in their connect
  handler for better backwards compatibility.


1.0.0 (2017-01-08)
------------------

* BREAKING CHANGE: WebSockets must now be explicitly accepted or denied.
  See https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releases/1.0.0.html for more.

* BREAKING CHANGE: Demultiplexers have been overhauled to directly dispatch
  messages rather than using channels to new consumers. Consult the docs on
  generic consumers for more: https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/generics.html

* BREAKING CHANGE: Databinding now operates from implicit group membership,
  where your code just has to say what groups would be used and Channels will
  work out if it's a creation, modification or removal from a client's
  perspective, including with permissions.

* Delay protocol server ships with Channels providing a specification on how
  to delay jobs until later and a reference implementation.

* Serializers can now specify fields as `__all__` to auto-include all fields.

* Various other small fixes.

0.17.3 (2016-10-12)
-------------------

* channel_session now also rehydrates the http session with an option

* request.META['PATH_INFO'] is now present

* runserver shows Daphne log messages

* runserver --nothreading only starts a single worker thread

* Databinding changed to call group_names dynamically and imply changed/created from that;
  other small changes to databinding, and more changes likely.


0.17.2 (2016-08-04)
-------------------

* New CHANNELS_WS_PROTOCOLS setting if you want Daphne to accept certain
  subprotocols

* WebsocketBindingWithMembers allows serialization of non-fields on instances

* Class-based consumers have an .as_route() method that lets you skip using
  route_class

* Bindings now work if loaded after app ready state


0.17.1 (2016-07-22)
-------------------

* Bindings now require that `fields` is defined on the class body so all fields
  are not sent by default. To restore old behaviour, set it to ['__all__']

* Bindings can now be declared after app.ready() has been called and still work.

* Binding payloads now include the model name as `appname.modelname`.

* A worker_ready signal now gets triggered when `runworker` starts consuming
  messages. It does not fire from within `runserver`.


0.17.0 (2016-07-19)
-------------------

* Data Binding framework is added, which allows easy tying of model changes
  to WebSockets (and other protocols) and vice-versa.

* Standardised WebSocket/JSON multiplexing introduced

* WebSocket generic consumers now have a 'close' argument on send/group_send


0.16.1 (2016-07-12)
-------------------

* WebsocketConsumer now has a http_user option for auto user sessions.

* consumer_started and consumer_finished signals are now available under
  channels.signals.

* Database connections are closed whenever a consumer finishes.


0.16.0 (2016-07-06)
-------------------

* websocket.connect and websocket.receive are now consumed by a no-op consumer
  by default if you don't specify anything to consume it, to bring Channels in
  line with the ASGI rules on WebSocket backpressure.

* You no longer need to call super's setUp in ChannelTestCase.


0.15.1 (2016-06-29)
-------------------

* Class based consumers now have a self.kwargs

* Fixed bug where empty streaming responses did not send headers or status code


0.15.0 (2016-06-22)
-------------------

* Query strings are now decoded entirely by Django. Must be used with Daphne
  0.13 or higher.


0.14.3 (2016-06-21)
-------------------

* + signs in query strings are no longer double-decoded

* Message now has .values(), .keys() and .items() to match dict


0.14.2 (2016-06-16)
-------------------

* Class based consumers now have built-in channel_session and
  channel_session_user support


0.14.1 (2016-06-09)
-------------------

* Fix unicode issues with test client under Python 2.7


0.14.0 (2016-05-25)
-------------------

* Class-based consumer pattern and WebSocket consumer now come with Channels
  (see docs for more details)

* Better testing utilities including a higher-level Client abstraction with
  optional HTTP/WebSocket HttpClient variant.


0.13.1 (2016-05-13)
-------------------

* enforce_ordering now queues future messages in a channel rather than
  spinlocking worker processes to achieve delays.

* ConsumeLater no longer duplicates messages when they're requeued below the
  limit.


0.13.0 (2016-05-07)
-------------------

* Backpressure is now implemented, meaning responses will pause sending if
  the client does not read them fast enough.

* DatabaseChannelLayer has been removed; it was not sensible.


0.12.0 (2016-04-26)
-------------------

* HTTP paths and query strings are now expected to be sent over ASGI as
  unescaped unicode. Daphne 0.11.0 is updated to send things in this format.

* request.FILES reading bug fixed


0.11.0 (2016-04-05)
-------------------

* ChannelTestCase base testing class for easier testing of consumers

* Routing rewrite to improve speed with nested includes and remove need for ^ operator

* Timeouts reading very slow request bodies


0.10.3 (2016-03-29)
-------------------

* Better error messages for wrongly-constructed routing lists

* Error when trying to use signed cookie backend with channel_session

0.10.2 (2016-03-23)
-------------------

* Regular expressions for routing include() can now be Unicode under Python 3

-------------------

* Regular expressions for HTTP paths can now be Unicode under Python 3

  of 60 seconds.


0.9.3 (2016-02-28)
