2.5.0 (2006-12-29)
==================

Twisted 2.5.0 is a major feature release, with several interesting new
developments and a great number of bug fixes. Some of the highlights
follow.

 * AMP, the Asynchronous Messaging Protocol, was introduced.  AMP is
   a protocol which provides request/response semantics over a
   persistent connection in a very simple and extensible manner.

 * An Epoll-based reactor was added, which can be used with twistd or
   trial by passing "-r epoll" on the command line. This may improve
   performance of certain high-traffic network applications.

 * The 'twistd' command can now accept sub-commands which name an
   application to run. For example, 'twistd web --path .' will start a
   web server serving files out of the current directory. This
   functionality is meant to replace the old way of doing things with
   'mktap' and 'twistd -f'.

 * Python 2.5 is now supported. Previous releases of Twisted were
   broken by changes in the release of Python 2.5.

 * 'inlineCallbacks' was added, which allows taking advantage of the
   new 'yield' expression syntax in Python 2.5 to avoid writing
   callbacks for Deferreds.

In addition to these changes, there are many other minor features and
a large number of bug fixes.

Features

   with the -r options to twistd and trial (#1953)
 - twistd and trial now use the plugin system to find reactors which
   can be selected (#719)
 - twisted.internet.defer.inlineCallbacks was added. It takes

2.3.0 (2006-05-14)
==================

Features
--------
 - twisted-dev-mode's F9 now uses trial's --testmodule feature, rather than

   test-case-name hack (just use a comma separated list instead).
 - API Documentation improvements.

   of Version information, including support for SVN revision numbers
   (#1663)

Fixes
-----

 - Many trial fixes, as usual 
 - All API documentation is now correctly formatted as epytext (#1545)
 - twisted.python.filepath.FilePath.__repr__ is safer.
 - Fix trial's "until-failure" mode. (#1453)
 - deferredGenerator now no longer causes handled exceptions (or
   results) to propagate to the resulting Deferred (#1709).
 - Misc: #1483, #1495, #1503, #1532, #1539, #1559, #1509, #1538,

   #1645, #1634, #1620, #1664, #1666, #1650, #1670, #1675, #1692, #1710,
   #1668.

Deprecations
------------

 - Removal of already-deprecated trial APIs: the assertions module,
   util.deferredResult, util.deferredError, util.fireWhenDoneFunc,
   util.spinUntil, util.spinWhile, util.extract_tb,
   util.format_exception, util.suppress_warnings, unittest.wait,
   util.wait
 - The backwards compatibility layer of twisted.python.components
   (e.g., backwardsCompatImplements, fixClassImplements, etc) has been
   disabled. The functions still exist, but do nothing as to not break
   user code outright (#1511)
 - Deprecate the usage of the 'default' argument as a keyword argument
   in Interface.__call__. Passing a second positional argument to
   specify the default return value of the adaptation is still
   supported.


2.2.0 (2006-02-12)
==================

Features
--------
 - Twisted no longer works with Python 2.2
 - FTP server supports more clients

 - twisted.internet.stdio improved (including Windows support!)
 - Trial:
   - Continued Trial refactoring
   - Default trial reporter is verbose black&white when color isn't supported
   - Deferreds returned in trial tests that don't fire before the
     unittest timeout now have their errback fired with a TimeoutError
   - raising SkipTest in setUp and setUpClass skips tests
   - Test suites are failed if there are import errors

Fixes
-----
 - iocpreactor fixes
 - Threadpool fixes
 - Fixed infinite loops in datagramReceived edge cases
 - Issues resolved: 654, 773, 998, 1005, 1008, 1116, 1123, 1198, 1221,
   1232, 1233, 1236, 1240, 1244, 1258, 1263, 1265, 1266, 1271, 1275,
   1293, 1294, 1298, 1308, 1316, 1317, 1321, 1341, 1344, 1353, 1359,

2.1.0 (2005-11-06)
==================

Features
--------
 - threadedselectreactor, a reactor which potentially makes
   integration with foreign event loops much simpler.
 - major improvements to twisted.conch.insults, including many new widgets.
 - adbapi ConnectionPools now have 'runWithConnection' which is
   similar to runInteraction but gives you a connection object instead of
   a transaction. [975]
 - __file__ is now usable in tac files
 - twisted.cred.pamauth now contains a PAM checker (moved from twisted.conch)
 - twisted.protocols.policies.LimitTotalConnectionsFactory now exists,
   which does as the name suggests
 - twisted.protocols.ident now uses /proc/net/tcp on Linux [233]
 - trial now recurses packages by default (a la the old -R parameter)
 - (PB) Calling a remote method that doesn't exist now raises
   NoSuchMethod instead of AttributeError.

Fixes
-----
 - FTP client and server improvements
 - Trial improvements: The code is now much simpler, and more stable.
 - twisted.protocols.basic.FileSender now works with empty files 
 - Twisted should now be much more usable on Pythons without thread support.
 - minor improvements to process code in win32eventreactor
 - twistd -y (--python) now implies -o (--nosave). [539]
 - improved lockfile handling especially with respect to unix sockets.
 - deferredGenerator now no longer overuses the stack, which sometimes
   caused stack overflows.
 - Failure.raiseException now at least always raises the correct Exception.
 - minor improvements to serialport code

Deprecations
------------
 - twisted.python.componts.getAdapter. Use IFoo(o) instead.
 - Adapter persistence (IFoo(x, persist=True)). Just don't use it.
 - log.debug. It was equivalent to log.msg(), just use that.
 - twisted.protocols.telnet. twisted.conch.telnet replaces it.
 - Setting a trial reporter using a flag to 'trial'. Instead of 'trial
   --bwverbose', for example, use 'trial --reporter=bwverbose'.
 - trial --coverage will become a flag in Twisted 2.2.
 - passing a fully-qualified python name to --reporter is
   deprecated. Pass only names of Reporter plugins.
 - trial --psyco.
 - trial -R (--recurse) is now the default, so passing it is deprecated.
 - trial --reporter-args. Use the plugin system to do this sort of thing.
 - trial.assertions.assertionMethod and trial.unittest.assertionMethod
   are both deprecated. Use instance methods on TestCases instead.
 - trial's deferredResult, deferredError, and wait functions. Return
   Deferreds from your test methods instead of using them.
 - Raising unittest.SkipTest with no arguments. Give a reason for your skip.
 - The Failure returned from a gatherResults and DeferredList is now
   of type FirstError instead of a tuple of (Exception, index). It
   supports a firstError[idx] syntax but that is deprecated. Use
   firstError.subFailure and firstError.index instead.
 - whenThreaded now simply calls the passed function synchronously.

Major new features
------------------
 - Replaced home-grown components system with zope.interface.
 - Split Twisted into multiple pieces.
 - Relicensed: Now under the MIT license, rather than LGPL.
 - Python 2.4 compatibility fixes
 - Major efficiency improvements in TCP buffering algorithm.
 - Major efficiency improvements in reactor.callLater/DelayedCall.
 - Half-close support for TCP/SSL. (loseWriteConnection).

Miscellaneous features/fixes
----------------------------
 - New plugin system: twisted.plugin
 - Better debugging support. Control-C will break you into PDB.
 - The twistd command has --uid --gid command line arguments.
 - *Incompatibility: mktap defaults to not change UID/GID, instead of saving
   the invoking user's UID/GID.
 - Removed some functions that were deprecated since Twisted 1.0.
 - ZSH tab-completion for twisted commands.

 - More correct daemonization in twistd.
 - twisted.python.log: do not close the log because of invalid format string.
 - Disabled automatic import of cBanana. 
 - Boolean support for twisted.persisted.marmalade.
 - Refactor of plugin and application HOWTO documentation
 - Async HOWTO expanded greatly.
 - twisted.python.usage outputs the actual defaults, not passed in values.

twisted.trial
-------------
 - Rewritten, a bunch of bugs fixed, a few more added.

twisted.internet
----------------
 - Multi-listen UDP multicast support
 - protocol.ClientCreator has a connectSSL.
 - defer.deferredGenerator: allows you to write Deferred code w/o callbacks.
 - Deferred.setTimeout is now deprecated.
 - New defer.DeferredLock/DeferredSemaphore/DeferredQueue.
 - Add utils.getProcessOutputAndValue to get stdout/err/value.

 - Default DNS resolver is now non-blocking.
 - Increased default TCP accept backlog from 5 to 50.
 - Make buffering large amounts of TCP data work on Windows.
 - Fixed SSL disconnect to not wait for remote host. Fixes issue with firefox.
 - Separate state for Deferred finalization so that GC-loops preventing
   finalization don't occur.
 - Many Process bugfixes
 - Processes spawned on windows can successfully use sockets
 - gtk2reactor can optionally use glib event loop instead of gtk
 - gtk2reactor notifies gobject to initialize thread support
 - Fix registering a streaming producer on a transport.
 - Close client sockets explicitly after failed connections.
 - ReconnectingClientFactory now continues attempting to reconnect after all
   errors, not just those which are not UserErrors.

twisted.protocols
-----------------
 - Portforward doesn't start reading from a client until a connection is made.
 - Bugfixes in twisted.protocols.loopback
 - Improve speed of twisted.protocols.LineReceiver.
 - LineReceiver implements IProducer. (stop/pause/resumeProducing)
 - SOCKSv4 properly closes connections

twisted.enterprise
------------------
 - Add "new connection" callback to adbapi.ConnectionPool to allow for
   custom db connection setup (cp_openfun)
 - adbapi.ConnectionPool automatic reconnection support
 - Don't log exceptions extraneously


1.3.0 (2004-05-14)
==================

- Address objects for IPv4 and Unix addresses throughout twisted.internet.
- Improved connected UDP APIs.
- Refactored SSH client support.
- Initial implementation of Windows I/O Completion Ports event loop.
- Bug fixes and feature enhancements.
