falcon - 4.1.0

This release contains enhancements to media handling, serving static files, and a fix for the WebSockets-sink interaction, alongside performance optimizations and full support for CPython 3.14.

:snake: Falcon 4.1.0 on PyPI :books: Changelog on RtD

During this release cycle, we have migrated to publishing to PyPI with a Trusted Publisher (thanks to @webknjaz for helping to iron out the workflow details).

For those relying on other package distribution channels than PyPI, we have prepared a brand new Packaging Guide for Falcon. Please check it out and let us know what you think! Additionally, we have formalized our security maintenance policy as well as the status of stable releases: Releases and Versioning.

This release also incorporates many pull requests submitted by our community. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all 17 contributors who made this release possible! * @aarcex3 * @AbduazizZiyodov * @Bombaclath97 * @bssyousefi * @CaselIT * @Cycloctane * @diegomirandap * @EricGoulart * @jap * @jkmnt * @kemingy * @Krishn1412 * @perodriguezl * @Shreshth3 * @vytas7 * @webknjaz * @x612skm

falcon - 4.0.2

Falcon 4.0.2 is a minor point release (following the major Falcon 4.0.0 release, and Falcon 4.0.1 bugfix) to fix some missed re-exports for type checkers. In addition, we have also included a couple of documentation improvements.

:snake: Falcon 4.0.2 on PyPI

Fixed

Running Mypy on code that uses parts of falcon.testing would previously lead to errors like: Name "falcon.testing.TestClient" is not defined This has been fixed by explicitly exporting the names that are imported into the falcon.testing namespace. (#2387)

Misc

The printable PDF version of our documentation was enabled on Read the Docs. (#2365)

falcon - 4.0.1

Falcon 4.0.1 is a minor point release addressing a Python distribution issue in Falcon 4.0.0.

Fixed

Installing Falcon 4.0.0 unexpectedly copies many unintended directories from the source tree to the venv’s site-packages. This issue has been rectified, and our CI has been extended with new tests (that verify what is actually installed from the distribution) to make sure this regression does not resurface. (#2384)

falcon - 4.0.0

We are happy to present Falcon 4.0, a new major version of the framework that brings a couple of commonly requested features including support for matching multiple path segments (using PathConverter), and a fully typed codebase. (Please read more about typing in the notes on RtD.)

:snake: Falcon 4.0.0 on PyPI :books: Changelog on RtD

The timeframe for Falcon 4.0 was challenging due to the need to balance our high standards with the CPython 3.13 timeline. We aimed to deliver the main development branch in this release, without resorting to another compatibility micro update (as we did with Falcon 3.1.1-3.1.3). Following community feedback, we also want to improve our overall release schedule by shipping smaller increments more often. To support this goal, we have made several tooling and testing improvements: the build process for binary wheels has been simplified using cibuildwheel, and our test suite now only requires pytest as a hard dependency. Additionally, you can run pytest against our tests from any directory. We hope that these changes should also benefit packaging Falcon in Linux distributions.

As with every SemVer major release, we have removed a number of previously deprecated functions, classes, compatibility shims, as well as made other potentially breaking changes that we could not risk in a minor version. If you have been paying attention the deprecation warnings from the 3.x series, the impact should be minimal, but please do take a look at the list of breaking changes on RtD.

This release would not have been possible without the numerous contributions from our community. This release alone comprises a number of pull requests submitted by a group of 30 talented individuals. What is more, we were particularly impressed by the high-quality discussions and code submissions during our EuroPython 2024 Sprint. Some notable sprint contributions include CHIPS support, and a new WebSocket Tutorial, among others. In fact, according to the statistics on GitHub, we are thrilled to report that the total number of Falcon contributors has now exceeded 200. We find it fascinating that our framework has become a collaborative effort involving so many individuals, and would like to thank everyone who has made this release possible!

This release hopefully addresses the build issues we encountered in 4.0.0a1.

Update

One wheel failed to build on Windows, so nothing has been published to PyPI yet :grimacing:. We will address this issue in 4.0.0a2.

If you feel adventurous, you can still build and test the release from the below files here on GitHub: ```shell

Build binaries (takes a couple of minutes)

Pure-python wheel (fast install, slightly lower runtime performance)

pip install https://github.com/falconry/falcon/releases/download/4.0.0a1/falcon-4.0.0a1-py3-none-any.whl ``` Let us know how it went!

falcon - 3.1.0

This release contains several refinements to request validation and error handling, along with some tweaks to response handling for static and downloadable files.

Due to popular demand, TestClient and ASGIConductor now expose convenience shorthand aliases for the simulate_* methods, i.e., simulate_get() is now also available as get(), etc.

Some important bugs were also fixed to ensure applications properly clean up response streams and do not hang when reading request bodies that are streamed using chunked transfer encoding.

This release also adds support for CPython 3.10 and deprecates CPython 3.6.

falcon - 3.0.1

This is a minor point release to take care of a couple of bugs that we did not catch for 3.0.0.

Fixed

• The api_helpers module was re-added, since it was renamed to app_helpers (and effectively removed) without announcing a corresponding breaking change. This module is now considered deprecated, and will be removed in a future Falcon version. (#1902)
  
• ASGI HTTP headers were treated as UTF-8 encoded, not taking the incompatibility with WSGI and porting of WSGI applications into consideration. This was fixed, and ASGI headers are now decoded and encoded as ISO-8859-1. (#1911)

We are pleased to present Falcon 3.0, a major new release that includes ASGI-based asyncio and WebSocket support, fantastic multipart/form-data parsing, better error handling, enhancements to existing features, and the usual assortment of bug fixes.

Thanks to @CaselIT we also now provide native cythonized wheels for common platforms via GitHub Actions!

A sincere thank you to our incredible group of 38 contributors who submitted pull requests for this release, as well as to all those who generously provided financial support to the project. Over the years we like to think that our little framework has had a positive impact on the Python community, and has even helped nudge the state of the art forward.
