Ticket numbers in this file can be looked up by visiting http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/<number>
- Python 3.10b3 is now supported (#10224)
- Type hinting was added to twisted.internet.defer, making this is the first release of Twisted where you might reasonably be able to use mypy without your own custom stub files (#10017)
- The changes to
DelayedCall.__repr__andLoopingCall.__repr__from 21.7.0.rc1 were reverted as the wrong assumption that__qualname__is available on all the supported Python versions. (#10235) - The automated release process was updated to generate and release wheel files to PyPI (#10236)
- twisted.internet.defer.inlineCallbacks has an improved type annotation, to avoid typing errors when it is used on a function which returns a non-None result. (#10231)
- trial.runner.filenameToModule now sets the correct
module.__name__andsys.moduleskey (#10230) - twisted.internet.process can now pause and resume producing in python 3 (#9933)
- When installing Twisted it now requires a minimum Python 3.6.7 version to match the version used with automated testing. This is the minimum Python version that we know that Twisted works with. (#10098)
- twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.AsyncioSelectorReactor will no longer raise a TypeError like "SelectorEventLoop required, instead got: <uvloop.Loop ...>" (broken since 21.2.0). (#10106)
- twisted.web.template.flatten and flattenString will no longer raise RecursionError if a large number of synchronous Deferreds are included in a document. (#10125)
- Fix type hint for http.Request.uri (from str to bytes). (#10139)
- twisted.web.http_headers.getRawHeaders and twisted.web.http_headers.getAllRawHeaders are now typed to return immutable sequences of header values instead of lists. twisted.web.http_headers.getRawHeaders is now typed to return a non-optional value if a non-None default value is given. (#10142)
- Fixed type hint for addr argument to twisted.internet.interfaces.buildProtocol. (#10147)
- twisted.trial._dist.worker.LocalWorker.connectionMade now always writes the log file using UTF-8 encoding. In previous versions it was using the system default encoding. This was causing encoding errors as the distributed trial workers are sending Unicode data and the system default encoding might not always be Unicode compatible. For example, it can be CP1252 on Windows. (#10157)
- twisted.words.protocols.irc.ctcpExtract was updated to work with PYPY 3.7.4. (#10189)
- twisted.conch.ssh.transport.SSHServerTransport and twisted.conch.ssh.transport.SSHClientTransport no longer use the hardcoded SHA1 digest for non-group key exchanges. (#10203)
- haproxy transport wrapper now returns hosts of type str for getPeer() and getHost(), as specified by IPv4Address and IPv6Address documentation. Previously it was returning bytes for the host. (#10211)
- Remove dead link in twisted.internet._dumbwin32proc module docstring (#9520)
- Sync API docs templates with pydoctor 21.2.2 release. (#10105)
- Twisted IRC channels are now hosted by Libera.Chat. (#10213)
- Python 3.5 is no longer supported. (#9958)
- #9816, #9915, #10068, #10085, #10094, #10102, #10107, #10108, #10109, #10110, #10112, #10119, #10120, #10121, #10122, #10123, #10140, #10143, #10145, #10150, #10151, #10155, #10159, #10168, #10169, #10171, #10172, #10173, #10174, #10179, #10194, #10201, #10212, #10215, #10217, #11017
- #10097
- twisted.web.template.renderElement() now accepts any IRequest implementer instead of only twisted.web.server.Request. Add type hints to twisted.web.template. (#10184)
- The server-side HTTP/1.1 chunking implementation no longer performs quadratic work when input arrives in small chunks, preventing CPU exhaustion. (#3795)
- twisted.web.http's chunked encoding support now rejects chunk sizes that are invalid because they look like negative hexadecimal integers. (#10130)
- The type hint of twisted.web.server.Request.postpath is now correctly listed as Optional[List[bytes]]. This was incorrect in Twisted v21.2.0. (#10136)
- The server-side HTTP/1.1 chunking implementation now rejects invalid chunk boundaries, preventing unbounded buffering. (#10137)
- The server-side HTTP/1.1 chunking implementation now limits the length of the chunk size line (which includes chunk extensions) to twisted.web.http.maxChunkSizeLineLength — 1 KiB — so that it may not consume an unbounded amount of memory. (#10144)
- Calling twisted.web.server.Site now registers its expiration timeout using the reactor associated with its twisted.web.server.Site. Site now a reactor attribute via its superclass, twisted.web.http.HTTPFactory. (#10177)
- #9659, #10100, #10154, #10186
No significant changes.

No significant changes.
- The enableSessions argument to twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now actually enables/disables OpenSSL's session cache. Also, due to session-related bugs, it defaults to False. (#9583)
- twisted.internet.defer.inlineCallbacks and ensureDeferred will now associate a contextvars.Context with the coroutines they run, meaning that ContextVar objects will maintain their value within the same coroutine, similarly to asyncio Tasks. This functionality requires Python 3.7+, or the contextvars PyPI backport to be installed for Python 3.5-3.6. (#9719, #9826)
- twisted.internet.defer.Deferred.fromCoroutine has been added. This is similar to the existing ensureDeferred function, but is named more consistently inside Twisted and does not pass through Deferreds. (#9825)
- trial now allows the @unittest.skipIf decorator to specify that an entire test class should be skipped. (#9829)
- The twisted.python.deprecate.deprecatedKeywordParameter decorator can be used to mark a keyword paramater of a function or method as deprecated. (#9844)

- Support a coroutine function in twisted.internet.task.react (#9974)
- PyPy 3.7 is now tested and supported. (#10093)
- twisted.web.twcgi.CGIProcessProtocol.processEnded(...) now handles an already-finished request, for example when request.connectionLost(...) was called previously. (#9468)
- Twisted's dependency on PyHamcrest has been moved from the base package to the new "test" extra. Consequently the test extra must be installed for Twisted's test suite to pass. (#9509)
- Fixed serialization of timedelta, date, and time objects in twisted.spread. (#9716)
- twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.AsyncioSelectorReactor now raises an exception if instantiated with an event loop which is not compatible with asyncio.SelectorEventLoop. This fixes the AsyncioSelectorReactor in Python 3.8+ on Windows, where in bp-34687 the default Windows asyncio event loop was changed to ProactorEventLoop. Applications that use AsyncioSelectorReactor on Windows with Python 3.8+ must call asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy()) before instantiating and running AsyncioSelectorReactor. (#9766)
- twisted.internet.process.registerReapProcessHandler and ._BaseProcess.reapProcess will no longer raise a TypeError when processing a None PID (#9775)
- INotify will close its file descriptor if a directory is automatically removed by twisted from the watchlist because it's deleted, avoiding orphaned filedescriptors. (#9777)
- DelayedCall.reset() is now working properly with asyncioreactor (#9780)
- AsyncioSelectorReactor.seconds() now correctly returns an epoch time. (#9787)
- The _connDone parameter has been removed from twisted.internet.abstract.FileDescriptor.loseConnection()'s signature in order to match the signature in the base class twisted.internet._newtls.ConnectionMixin loseConnection(). (#9849)
- The Gtk3 reactor now runs on Wayland-only sessions (#9904)
- Descriptive error messages from twisted.internet.error are now present when running with 'python -OO'. (#9918)
- Comparator methods such as __eq__() now always return NotImplemented for uncomparable types. (#9919)
- When installing Twisted it now requires a minimum Python 3.5.4 version to match the version used with automated testing. This is the minimum Python version that we know that Twisted works with. (#10098)
- The narrative docs now contains the associated Twisted version and the date when they were generated. (#3945)

- (#9868, #9873, #9874)
- Fix a typo in "Introduction to Deferreds" document. (#9948)
- The Twisted Coding Standard has been changed to refer to The Black code style for guidelines regarding whitespace and line lengths. (#9957)
- Exempt
__repr__,__slots__and other@attrs.definerelated changes from compatibility policy. (#9982) - Fix many docstring mistakes flagged by new sanity checks in pydoctor. (#10021)
- Fix a few dozen broken links to API documentation pages. (#10057)
- twisted.cred.credentials.UsernameHashedPassword is now deprecated because it doesn't hash the password, causing it to return the wrong result. (#8368)
- twisted.news is now removed from the codebase. (This module was never installed on Python 3.) (#9782)
- Support for Python 2.7 has been removed. Twisted now supports only Python versions 3.5/3.6/3.7. (#9790)
- twisted.pair.ethernet.IEthernetProtocol.addProto()'s interface was changed to match the existing implementations in the Twisted source code. (#9877)
- twisted.python.filepath.FilePath.statinfo was deprecated in Twisted 15.0.0 and has now been removed. (#9881)
- The parameters to twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.addSystemEventTrigger(), twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.callWhenRunning(), twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.callLater(), twisted.internet.task.Clock.callLater() have been renamed to match the parameters defined in the following interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorCore, twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorTime. (#9897)
- Functions and types in twisted.python.compat that existed to support the transition from Python 2 to 3 have been deprecated. (#9922)
- twisted.logger.LoggingFile.softspace has been deprecated. (#10042)
- twisted.python.win32.WindowsError and FakeWindowsError have been deprecated. (#10053)
- twisted.mail.pop3client has been renamed to twisted.mail._pop3client, since it has always been a private implementation module. (#10054)
- #5356, #6460, #6903, #6986, #7945, #9306, #9512, #9531, #9622, #9652, #9718, #9744, #9768, #9773, #9776, #9778, #9781, #9784, #9785, #9788, #9789, #9791, #9793, #9795, #9796, #9797, #9798, #9800, #9802, #9803, #9808, #9809, #9810, #9811, #9812, #9820, #9823, #9827, #9833, #9837, #9840, #9842, #9846, #9847, #9848, #9850, #9851, #9852, #9854, #9855, #9856, #9857, #9858, #9861, #9862, #9863, #9864, #9865, #9866, #9867, #9869, #9870, #9871, #9872, #9876, #9878, #9879, #9880, #9882, #9883, #9884, #9886, #9889, #9890, #9891, #9892, #9895, #9896, #9898, #9899, #9902, #9903, #9916, #9917, #9921, #9924, #9927, #9928, #9936, #9953, #9954, #9956, #9959, #9960, #9969, #9970, #9971, #9975, #9976, #9977, #9978, #9979, #9980, #9981, #9983, #9985, #9986, #9987, #9988, #9989, #9991, #9992, #9995, #9999, #10000, #10002, #10009, #10010, #10011, #10014, #10015, #10018, #10025, #10027, #10029, #10032, #10033, #10034, #10036, #10038, #10043, #10044, #10046, #10054, #10059, #10060, #10061, #10063, #10064, #10065, #10069, #10080, #10090

- #9689
- twisted.web.server.Request will now use twisted.web.server.Site.getContentFile, if it exists, to get a file into which to write request content. If getContentFile is not provided by the site, it will fall back to the previous behavior of using io.BytesIO for small requests and tempfile.TemporaryFile for large ones. (#9655)
- twisted.web.client.FileBodyProducer will now stop producing when the Deferred returned by FileBodyProducer.startProducing is cancelled. (#9547)
- The HTTP/2 server implementation now enforces TCP flow control on control frame messages and times out clients that send invalid data without reading responses. This closes CVE-2019-9512 (Ping Flood), CVE-2019-9514 (Reset Flood), and CVE-2019-9515 (Settings Flood). Thanks to Jonathan Looney and Piotr Sikora. (#9694)

- twisted.web.client.HostnameCachingHTTPSPolicy was added as a new contextFactory option. The policy caches a specified number of twisted.internet.interfaces.IOpenSSLClientConnectionCreator instances to to avoid the cost of instantiating a connection creator for multiple requests to the same host. (#9138)
- twisted.web.http.Request.cookies, twisted.web.http.HTTPChannel.writeHeaders, and twisted.web.http_headers.Headers were all vulnerable to header injection attacks. They now replace linear whitespace ('r', 'n', and 'rn') with a single space. twisted.web.http.Reqeuest.cookies also replaces semicolons (';') with a single space. (#9420)
- twisted.web.client.Request and twisted.web.client.HTTPClient were both vulnerable to header injection attacks. They now replace linear whitespace ('r', 'n', and 'rn') with a single space. (#9421)

- twisted.names.dns now has IRecord implementations for the SSHFP and TSIG record types. (#9373)
- twisted.internet._sslverify.ClientTLSOptions no longer raises IDNAError when given an IPv6 address as a hostname in a HTTPS URL. (#9433)
- The repr() of a twisted.internet.base.DelayedCall now encodes the same information as its str(), exposing details of its scheduling and target callable. (#9481)
- Python 3.7 is now supported. (#9502)
- twisted.logger.LogBeginner's default critical observer now prints tracebacks for new and legacy log system events through the use of the new eventAsText API. This API also does not raise an error for non-ascii encoded data in Python2, it attempts as well as possible to format the traceback. (#7927)
- Syntax error under Python 3.7 fixed for twisted.conch.manhole and twisted.main.imap4. (#9384)
- trial -j reports tracebacks on test failures under Python 3. (#9436)

- twisted.python.rebuild now functions on Python 3.7. (#9492)
- HTTP/2 server connections will no longer time out active downloads that take too long. (#9529)
- Several minor formatting problems in the API documentation have been corrected. (#9461)
- The documentation of twisted.internet.defer.Deferred.fromFuture() has been updated to reflect upstream changes. (#9539)
- async keyword argument is deprecated in twisted.conch.manhole (ManholeInterpreter.write and Manhole.add) and in twisted.main.imap4.IMAP4Server.sendUntaggedResponse, isAsync keyword argument is introduced instead. (#9384)
- #9379, #9485, #9489, #9499, #9501, #9511, #9514, #9523, #9524, #9525, #9538
- twisted.conch.keys.Key.public returns the same twisted.conch.keys.Key instance when it is already a public key instead of failing with an exception. (#9441)
- RSA private keys are no longer corrupted during loading, allowing OpenSSL's fast-path to operate for RSA signing. (#9518)
- The documentation for IConchUser.gotGlobalRequest() is more accurate. (#9413)
- twisted.conch.ssh.filetransfer.ClientDirectory's use as an iterator has been deprecated. (#9527)
- twisted.web.server.Request.getSession now returns a new session if the previous session has expired. (#9288)

- Cancelling a Deferred returned by twisted.internet.defer.inlineCallbacks now cancels the Deferred it is waiting on. (#4632)
- twisted.application.internet.ClientService now accepts a function to initialize or validate a connection before it is returned by the whenConnected method as the prepareConnection argument. (#8375)
- Traceback generated for twisted.internet.defer.inlineCallbacks now includes the full stack of inlineCallbacks generators between catcher and raiser (before it only contained raiser's stack). (#9176)
- Add optional cwd argument to twisted.runner.procmon.ProcMon.addProcess (#9287)
- twisted.python.failure.Failure tracebacks generated by coroutines scheduled with twisted.internet.defer.ensureDeferred - i.e. any Deferred-awaiting coroutine - now contain fewer extraneous frames from the trampoline implementation, and correctly indicate the source of exceptions raised in other call stacks - i.e. the function that raised the exception. In other words: if you 'await' a function that raises an exception, you'll be able to see where the error came from. (#9459)
- On UNIX-like platforms, Twisted attempts to recover from EMFILE when accepting connections on TCP and UNIX ports by shedding incoming clients. (#5368)
- The documentation of IReactorTime.getDelayedCalls() has been corrected to indicate that the method returns a list, not a tuple. (#9418)
- "python -m twisted web --help" now refers to "--listen" instead of the non-existing "--http" (#9434)
- twisted.python.htmlizer.TokenPrinter now explicitly works on bytestrings. (#9442)
- twisted.enterprise.adbapi.ConnectionPool.runWithConnection and runInteraction now use the reactor that is passed to ConnectionPool's constructor. (#9467)
- The Twisted Coding Standard now contains examples of how to mark up a feature as added in the next Twisted release. (#9460)
- Deprecate direct introspection of ProcMon's processes: processes should not be directly accessed or pickled. (#9287)
- twisted.internet.address.IPv4Address._bwHack and twisted.internet.address.UNIXAddress._bwHack, as well as the parameters to the constructors, deprecated since Twisted 11.0, have been removed. (#9450)
- #7495, #9399, #9406, #9411, #9425, #9439, #9449, #9450, #9452
- twisted.conch.ssh.transport.SSHTransportBase now includes Twisted's version in the software version string it sends to the server, allowing servers to apply compatibility workarounds for bugs in particular client versions. (#9424)
- If the command run by twisted.conch.endpoints.SSHCommandClientEndpoint exits because of a delivered signal, the client protocol's connectionLost is now called with a ProcessTerminated exception instead of a ConnectionDone exception. (#9412)
- twisted.conch.ssh.transport.SSHTransportBase now correctly handles MSG_DEBUG with a false alwaysDisplay field on Python 2 (broken since 8.0.0). (#9422)
- twisted.conch.manhole.lastColorizedLine now does not throw a UnicodeDecodeError on non-ASCII input. (#9442)
- Added support for SameSite cookies in
http.Request.addCookie. (#9387)
- twisted.web.server.GzipEncoderFactory would sometimes fail to gzip requests if the Accept-Encoding header contained whitespace between the comma-separated acceptable encodings. It now trims whitespace before checking if gzip is an acceptable encoding. (#9086)
- twisted.web.static.File renders directory listings on Python 2, including those with text paths. (#9438)
- twisted.python.http.Request now correcly parses multipart bodies on Python 3.7. (#9448)

- #9398
- The --port/--https arguments to web plugin are now deprecated, in favor of --listen. The --listen argument can be given multiple times to listen on multiple ports. (#6670)
- Twisted now requires zope.interface 4.4.2 or higher across all platforms and Python versions. (#8149)
- The osx_platform setuptools extra has been renamed to macos_platform, with the former name being a compatibility alias. (#8848)
- Zsh completions are now provided for the twist command. (#9338)
- twisted.internet.endpoints.HostnameEndpoint now has a __repr__ method which includes the host and port to which the endpoint connects. (#9341)
- twistd now uses the UID's default GID to initialize groups when --uid is given but --gid is not. This prevents an unhandled TypeError from being raised when os.initgroups() is called. (#4442)
- twisted.protocols.basic.LineReceiver checks received lines' lengths against its MAX_LENGTH only after receiving a complete delimiter. A line ending in a multi-byte delimiter like 'rn' might be split by the network, with the first part arriving before the rest; previously, LineReceiver erroneously disconnected if the first part, e.g. 'zzzz....r' exceeded MAX_LENGTH. LineReceiver now checks received data against MAX_LENGTH plus the delimiter's length, allowing short reads to complete a line. (#6556)
- twisted.protocols.basic.LineOnlyReceiver disconnects the transport after receiving a line that exceeds MAX_LENGTH, like LineReceiver. (#6557)
- twisted.web.http.Request.getClientIP now returns the host part of the client's address when connected over IPv6. (#7704)
- twisted.application.service.IService is now documented as requiring the 'running', 'name' and 'parent' attributes (the documentation previously implied they were required, but was unclear). (#7922)
- twisted.web.wsgi.WSGIResource no longer raises an exception when a client connects over IPv6. (#8241)
- When using TLS enable automatic ECDH curve selection on OpenSSL 1.0.2+ instead of only supporting P-256 (#9210)
- twisted.trial._dist.worker and twisted.trial._dist.workertrial consistently pass bytes, not unicode to AMP. This fixes "trial -j" on Python 3. (#9264)
- twisted.trial.runner now uses the 'importlib' module instead of the 'imp' module on Python 3+. This eliminates DeprecationWarnings caused by importing 'imp' on Python 3. (#9275)
- twisted.web.client.HTTP11ClientProtocol now closes the connection when the server is sending a header line which is longer than he line limit of twisted.protocols.basic.LineReceiver.MAX_LENGTH. (#9295)
- twisted.python.failure now handles long stacktraces better; in particular it will log tracebacks for stack overflow errors. (#9301)
- The "--_shell-completion" argument to twistd now works on Python 3. (#9303)
- twisted.python.failure.Failure now raises the wrapped exception in Python3, and self (Failure) n Python2 when trap() is called without a matching exception (#9307)
- Writing large amounts of data no longer implies repeated, expensive copying under Python 3. Python 3's write speeds are now as fast as Python 2's. (#9324)
- twisted.protocols.postfix now properly encodes errors which are unicode strings to bytes. (#9335)
- twisted.protocols.policies.ProtocolWrapper and twisted.protocols.tls.TLSMemoryBIOProtocol no longer create circular references that keep protocol instances in memory after connection is closed. (#9374)
- twisted.conch.ssh.transport.SSHTransportBase no longer strips trailing spaces from the SSH version string of the connected peer. (#9377)
- trial -j no longer crashes on Python 2 on test failure messages containing non-ASCII bytes. (#9378)
- RSA keys replaced with 2048bit ones in twisted.conch.test.keydata in order to be compatible with OpenSSH 7.6. (#9388)
- AsyncioSelectorReactor uses the global policy's event loop. asyncio libraries that retrieve the running event loop with get_event_loop() will now receive the one used by AsyncioSelectorReactor. (#9390)
- public attributes of twisted.logger.Logger are now documented as attributes. (#8157)
- List indentation formatting errors have been corrected throughout the documentation. (#9256)
- twisted.protocols.basic.LineOnlyReceiver.lineLengthExceeded no longer returns twisted.internet.error.ConnectionLost. It instead directly disconnects the transport and returns None. (#6557)
- twisted.python.win32.getProgramsMenuPath and twisted.python.win32.getProgramFilesPath were deprecated in Twisted 15.3.0 and have now been removed. (#9312)
- Python 3.3 is no longer supported. (#9352)
- #7033, #8887, #9204, #9289, #9291, #9292, #9293, #9302, #9336, #9355, #9356, #9364, #9375, #9381, #9382, #9389, #9391, #9393, #9394, #9396
- twisted.plugins.cred_unix now properly converts a username and password from bytes to str on Python 3. In addition, passwords which are encrypted with SHA512 and SH256 are properly verified. This fixes running a conch server with: "twistd -n conch -d /etc/ssh/ --auth=unix". (#9130)
- In twisted.conch.scripts.conch, on Python 3 do not write bytes directly to sys.stderr. On Python 3, this fixes remote SSH execution of a command which fails. (#9344)
- twisted.conch.ssh.filetransfer.FileTransferClient.wasAFile attribute has been removed as it serves no purpose. (#9362)
- Removed deprecated support for PyCrypto key objects in conch (#9368)
- The new twisted.iweb.IRequest.getClientAddress returns the IAddress provider representing the client's address. Callers should check the type of the returned value before using it. (#7707)
- Eliminate use of twisted.python.log in twisted.web modules. (#9280)
- Scripts ending with .rpy, .epy, and .cgi now execute properly in Twisted Web on Python 3. (#9271)
- twisted.web.http.Request and twisted.web.server.Request are once again hashable on Python 2, fixing a regression introduced in Twisted 17.5.0. (#9314)
- Correct reactor docstrings for twisted.web.client.Agent and twisted.web.client._StandardEndpointFactory to communicate interface requirements since 17.1. (#9274)
- The examples for the "Twisted Web in 60 Seconds" tutorial have been fixed to work on Python 3. (#9285)
- twisted.iweb.IRequest.getClientIP is deprecated. Use twisted.iweb.IRequest.getClientAddress instead (see #7707). (#7705)

- twisted.web.template.flatten now supports coroutines that yield Deferreds. (#9199)
- twisted.web.client.HTTPConnectionPool passes the repr() of the endpoint to the client protocol factory, and the protocol factory adds that to its own repr(). This makes logs more useful. (#9235)
- Python 3.6 is now supported (#9240)
- twisted.python.logfile.BaseLogFile and subclasses now always open the file in binary mode, and will process text as UTF-8. (#6938)
- The ssl: endpoint now accepts certKey PEM files without trailing newlines. (#7530)
- Logger.__init__ sets the namespace to "<unknown>" instead of raising KeyError when unable to determine the namespace from the calling context. (#7930)
- twisted.internet._win32serialport updated to support pySerial 3.x and dropped pySerial 2.x support. (#8159)
- twisted.python.rebuild now works on Python 3. (#8213)
- twisted.web.server.Request.notifyFinish will now once again promptly notify applications of client disconnection (assuming that the client doesn't send a large amount of pipelined request data) rather than waiting for the timeout; this fixes a bug introduced in Twisted 16.3.0. (#8692)
- twisted.web.guard.HTTPAuthSessionWrapper configured with DigestCredentialFactory now works on both Python 2 and 3. (#9127)
- Detect when we’re being run using “-m twisted” or “-m twisted.trial” and use it to build an accurate usage message. (#9133)
- twisted.protocols.tls.TLSMemoryBIOProtocol now allows unregisterProducer to be called when no producer is registered, bringing it in line with other transports. (#9156)
- twisted.web web servers no longer print tracebacks when they timeout clients that do not respond to TLS CLOSE_NOTIFY messages. (#9157)
- twisted.mail.imap4 now works on Python 3. (#9161)
- twisted.python.shortcut now works on Python 3 in Windows. (#9170)
- Fix traceback forwarding with inlineCallbacks on python 3. (#9175)

- The following plugins can now be used on Python 3 with twistd: dns, inetd, portforward, procmon, socks, and words. (#9184)
- twisted.internet._win32serialport now uses serial.serialutil.to_bytes() to provide bytes in Python 3. (#9186)
- twisted.internet.reactor.spawnProcess() now does not fail on Python 3 in Windows if passed a bytes-encoded path argument. (#9200)
- twisted.protocols.ident now works on Python 3. (#9221)

- twisted.python.test.test_setup now passes with setuptools 36.2.1 (#9231)
- twisted.internet._win32serialport SerialPort._clearCommError() no longer raises AttributeError (#9252)
- twisted.trial.unittest.SynchronousTestCase and twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase now always run their tearDown methods, even when a test method fails with an exception. They also flush all errors logged by a test method before running another, ensuring the logged errors are associated with their originating test method. (#9267)
- Trial's documentation now directly mentions the preferred way of running Trial, via "python -m twisted.trial". (#9052)
- twisted.internet.endpoints.HostnameEndpoint and twisted.internet.endpoints.TCP4Client endpoint documentation updated to correctly reflect that the timeout argument takes a float as well as an int. (#9151)
- Badges at top of README now correctly render as links to respective result pages on GitHub. (#9216)
- The example code for the trial tutorial is now compatible with Python3 and the current version of Twisted. (#9223)
- twisted.protocols.dict is deprecated. (#9141)
- gpsfix.py has been removed from the examples. It uses twisted.protocols.gps which was removed in Twisted 16.5.0. (#9253)
- oscardemo.py, which illustrates the use of twisted.words.protocols.oscar, as been removed. twisted.words.protocols.oscar was removed in Twisted 17.5.0. (#9255)
- #5949, #8566, #8650, #8944, #9159, #9160, #9162, #9196, #9219, #9228, #9229, #9230, #9247, #9248, #9249, #9251, #9254, #9262, #9276, #9308
- twisted.conch.ssh.userauth.SSHUserAuthServer now gracefully handles unsupported authentication key types. (#9139)
- twisted.conch.client.default verifyHostKey now opens /dev/tty with no buffer to be compatible with Python 3. This lets the conch cli work with Python 3. (#9265)
- twisted.conch.ssh._cryptography_backports has been removed in favor of using int_to_bytes() and int_from_bytes() from cryptography.utils. (#9263)
- #9158, #9272
- twisted.web.static.File.contentTypes is now documented. (#5739)
- twisted.web.server.Request and any Twisted web server using it now support automatic fast responses to HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 OPTIONS * requests, and reject any other verb using the * URL form. (#9190)
- --add-header "HeaderName: Value" can be passed to twist web in order to set extra headers on all responses (#9241)
- twisted.web.client.HTTPClientFactory(...).gotHeaders(...) now handles a wrong Set-Cookie header without a traceback. (#9136)
- twisted.python.web.http.HTTPFactory now always opens logFile in binary mode and writes access logs in UTF-8, to avoid encoding issues and newline differences on Windows. (#9143)
- The code examples in "Using the Twisted Web Client" now work on Python 3. (#9172)
- twisted.web.server.Request and all web servers that use it now no longer send a default Content-Type header on responses that do not have a body (i.e. that set Content-Length: 0 or that send a 204 status code). (#9191)
- twisted.web.http.Request and all subclasses now correctly fire Deferreds returned from notifyFinish with errbacks when errors are encountered in HTTP/2 streams. (#9208)
- twisted.web.microdom, twisted.web.domhelpers, and twisted.web.sux now work on Python 3. (#9222)
- Sending a list of recipients with twisted.smtp.SenderFactory has been fixed. This fixes a problem found when running buildbot. (#9180)
- twisted.mail.imap4.IMAP4Server parses empty string literals even when they are the last argument to a command, such as LOGIN. (#9207)
- twisted.words.tap has been ported to Python 3 (#9169)
- #9246
- Queries for unknown record types no longer incorrectly result in a server error. (#9095)
- Failed TCP connections for AFXR queries no longer raise an AttributeError. (#9174)
- spawnProcess no longer opens an unwanted console on Windows (#5726)
- The transition to the hyperlink package adds IPv6 support to twisted.python.url.URL. This is now deprecated and new code should use hyperlink directly (see #9126). (#8069)
- twisted.logger now buffers only 200 events by default (reduced from 65536) while waiting for observers to be configured. (#8164)
- The transition of twisted.python.url to using the hyperlink package enables a URL.click() with no arguments (or 0-length string argument) to resolve dot segments in the path. (#8184)
- twisted.protocols.finger now works on Python 3. (#8230)
- TLS-related tests now pass when run with OpenSSL 1.1.0. This makes tests pass again on macOS and Windows, as cryptography 1.8 and later include OpenSSL 1.1.0. (#8898)
- UNIX socket endpoints now process all messages from recvmsg's ancillary data via twisted.internet.unix.Server.doRead/twisted.internet.unix.Client.doRead, while discarding and logging ones that don't contain file descriptors. (#8912)
- twisted.internet.endpoints.HostnameEndpoint and twisted.web.client.Agent work again with reactors that do not provide IReactorPluggableNameResolver. This undoes the changes that broke downstream users such as treq.testing. Note that passing reactors that do not provide IReactorPluggableNameResolver to either is deprecated. (#9032)
- A Python 3 Perspective Broker server which receives a remote call with keyword arguments from a Python 2 client will now decode any keys which are binary to strings instead of crashing. This fixes interoperability between Python 2 Buildbot clients and Python 3 Buildbot servers. (#9047)
- twisted.internet._threadedselect now works on both Python 2 and 3. (#9053)
- twisted.internet.interfaces.IResolverSimple implementers will now always be passed bytes, properly IDNA encoded if required, on Python 2. On Python 3, they will now be passed correctly IDNA-encoded Unicode forms of the domain, taking advantage of the idna library from PyPI if possible. This is to avoid Python's standard library (which has an out of date idna module) from mis- encoding domain names when non-ASCII Unicode is passed to it. (#9137)
- The examples in Twisted howto "Using the Twisted Application Framework", section "Customizing twistd logging" have been updated to use latest logging modules and syntax (#9084)
- twisted.internet.defer.Deferred.asFuture and twisted.internet.defer.Deferred.fromFuture were added, allowing for easy transitions between asyncio coroutines (which await Futures) and twisted coroutines (which await Deferreds). (#8748)
- twisted.application.internet.ClientService.whenConnected now accepts an argument "failAfterFailures". If you set this to 1, the Deferred returned by whenConnected will errback when the connection attempt fails, rather than retrying forever. This lets you react (probably by stopping the ClientService) to connection errors that are likely to be persistent, such as using the wrong hostname, or not being connected to the internet at all. (#9116)
- twisted.protocols.tls.TLSMemoryBIOProtocol and anything that uses it indirectly including the TLS client and server endpoints now enables TLS 1.3 cipher suites. (#9128)
- #8133, #8995, #8997, #9003, #9015, #9021, #9026, #9027, #9049, #9057, #9062, #9065, #9069, #9070, #9072, #9074, #9075, #9111, #9117, #9140, #9144, #9145
- twisted.runner.inetdconf.InvalidRPCServicesConfError, twisted.runner.inetdconf.RPCServicesConf, twisted.runner.inetdtap.RPCServer, and twisted.runner.portmap, deprecated since 16.2.0, have been removed. (#8464)
- twisted.python.url and twisted.python._url were modified to rely on hyperlink, a new package based on the Twisted URL implementation. Hyperlink adds support for IPv6 (fixing #8069), correct username/password encoding, better scheme/netloc inference, improved URL.click() behavior (fixing #8184), and more. For full docs see hyperlink.readthedocs.io and the CHANGELOG in the hyperlink GitHub repo. (#9126)
- History-aware terminal protocols like twisted.conch.manhole.Manhole no longer raise a TypeError when a user visits a partial line they added to the command line history by pressing up arrow before return. (#9031)
- The telnet_echo.tac example had conflicting port callouts between runtime and documentation. File was altered to run on documented port, 6023. (#9055)
- Remove diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 from twisted.conch. See https://weakdh.org/ (#9019)
- Removed small and obscure elliptic curves from conch. The only curves conch supports now are the ones also supported by OpenSSH. (#9088)
- twisted.mail.smtp has been ported to Python 3. (#8770)
- RRHeader now converts its ttl argument to an integer, raising a TypeError if it cannot. (#8340)
- twisted.web.cgi now works on Python 3 (#8009)
- twisted.web.distrib now works on Python 3 (#8010)
- twisted.web.http.HTTPFactory now propagates its reactor's callLater method to the HTTPChannel object, rather than having callLater grab the global reactor. This prevents the possibility of HTTPFactory logging using one reactor, but HTTPChannel running timeouts on another. (#8904)
- twisted.web.template.flattenString docstring now correctly references io.BytesIO (rather than NativeStringIO). (#9028)
- twisted.web.client now exposes the RequestGenerationFailed exception type. (#5310)
- twisted.web.client.Agent will now parse responses that begin with a status line that is missing a phrase. (#7673)
- twisted.web.http.HTTPChannel and twisted.web._http2.H2Connection have been enhanced so that after they time out they wait a small amount of time to allow the connection to close gracefully and, if it does not, they forcibly close it to avoid allowing malicious clients to forcibly keep the connection open. (#8902)
- #8981, #9018, #9067, #9090, #9092, #9093, #9096
- twisted.words.protocols.oscar, which is client code for Oscar/ICQ, was deprecated in 16.2.0 and has now been removed. (#9024)
- Added a new interface, twisted.internet.interfaces.IHostnameResolver, which is an improvement to twisted.internet.interfaces.IResolverSimple that supports resolving multiple addresses as well as resolving IPv6 addresses. This is a native, asynchronous, Twisted analogue to getaddrinfo. (#4362)
- twisted.web.client.Agent now uses HostnameEndpoint internally; as a consequence, it now supports IPv6, as well as making connections faster and more reliably to hosts that have more than one DNS name. (#6712)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now has the new constructor argument 'raiseMinimumTo', allowing you to increase the minimum TLS version to this version or Twisted's default, whichever is higher. The additional new constructor arguments 'lowerMaximumSecurityTo' and 'insecurelyLowerMinimumTo' allow finer grained control over negotiated versions that don't honour Twisted's defaults, for working around broken peers, at the cost of reducing the security of the TLS it will negotiate. (#6800)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now sets the OpenSSL context's mode to MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS, which will free the read/write buffers on idle TLS connections to save memory. (#8247)
- trial --help-reactors will only list reactors which can be imported. (#8745)
- twisted.internet.endpoints.HostnameEndpoint now uses the passed reactor's implementation of twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorPluggableResolver to resolve hostnames rather than its own deferToThread/getaddrinfo wrapper; this makes its hostname resolution pluggable via a public API. (#8922)
- twisted.internet.reactor.spawnProcess now does not emit a deprecation warning on Unicode arguments. It will encode Unicode arguments down to bytes using the filesystem encoding on UNIX and Python 2 on Windows, and pass Unicode through unchanged on Python 3 on Windows. (#8941)
- twisted.trial._dist.test.test_distreporter now works on Python 3. (#8943)

- twisted.web.client.Agent now sets
Content-Length: 0for PUT and POST requests made without a body producer. (#8984)
- twisted.web.http.HTTPFactory now times connections out after one minute of no data from the client being received, before the request is complete, rather than twelve hours. (#3746)
- twisted.web.http.HTTPChannel, the server class for Twisted's HTTP/1.1 server, now exerts backpressure against clients that do not read responses. This means that if a client stops reading from a socket for long enough, Twisted will stop reading further requests from that client until it consumes some responses. (#8868)
- twisted.web.http_headers.Headers.getRawHeaders no longer attempts to decode the default value when called with a unicode header name. (#8974)
- twisted.web.http.HTTPChannel is less likely to leak file descriptors when timing out clients using HTTPS connections. In some cases it is still possible to leak a file descriptor when timing out HTTP clients: further patches will address this issue. (#8992)

- The IOCP reactor no longer transmits the contents of uninitialized memory when writing large amounts of data. (#8870)
- Deferreds awaited/yielded from in a twisted.internet.defer.ensureDeferred wrapped coroutine will now properly raise exceptions. Additionally, it more closely models asyncio.ensure_future and will pass through Deferreds. (#8878)
- Deferreds that are paused or chained on other Deferreds will now return a result when yielded/awaited in a twisted.internet.defer .ensureDeferred-wrapped coroutine, instead of returning the Deferred it was chained to. (#8890)

- twisted.python.dist3 has been made private API. (#8761)
- When the source code is checked out, bin/trial is no longer in the tree. Developers working on the Twisted source code itself should either (1) run all tests under tox, or (2) run 'python setup.py develop' to install trial before running any tests. (#8765)
- twisted.protocols.gps, deprecated since Twisted 15.2, has been removed. (#8787)

- twisted.web.client.HTTPConnectionPool and anything that uses it, like twisted.web.client.Agent, have had their logic for resuming transports changed so that transports are resumed after state machine transitions are complete, rather than before. This change allows the HTTP client infrastructure to work with alternative HTTP implementations such as HTTP/2 which may be able to deliver a complete response synchronously when producing is resumed.

- Add twisted.application.twist, meant to eventually replace twistd with a simpler interface. Add twisted.application.runner API, currently private, which twist is built on. (#5705)
- The new interface IHandshakeListener that can be implemented by any Protocol provides a callback that is called when the TLS handshake has been completed, allowing Protocols to make decisions about the TLS configuration before application data is sent. (#6024)
- twisted.python.syslog has been ported to Python 3. (#7957)
- twisted.internet.defer.ensureDeferred has been added, similar to asyncio's ensure_future. Wrapping a coroutine (the result of a function defined using async def, available only on Python 3.5+) with it allows you to use the "await" keyword with Deferreds inside the coroutine, similar to "yield" when using inlineCallbacks. (#8088)
- twisted.internet.inotify have been ported to Python 3 (#8211)
- twisted.enterprise has been ported to Python 3. The third-party pysqlite2 package has not been ported to Python 3, so any database connector based on pysqlite2 cannot be used. Instead the sqlite3 module included with Python 3 should be used. (#8303)
- Scripts such as cftp, ckeygen, conch, mailmail, pyhtmlizer, tkconch, twistd and trial have been updated to be setuptools console scripts. (#8491)

- twisted.logger._flatten.flattenEvent() now does not crash if passed a unicode string. (#8699)
- twisted.application.strports.service (and thus twistd) no longer swallow asynchronous exceptions from IStreamServerEndpoint.listen. (#8710)
- _twistd_unix now reports the name and encoded message of an exception raised during daemonization on Python 2 and 3. (#8731)
- twisted.protocols.amp now handles floats on Python 3. Previously, sending a float would raise a ValueError. (#8746)
- Some broken links to xprogramming in the unit test documentation have been fixed. (#8579)
- The Twisted Tutorial "The Evolution of Finger" has been updated to use endpoints throughout. (#8588)
- Updated the mail examples to use endpoints and better TLS. (#8595)
- Changed the Twisted Web howto to use endpoints and modern TLS. (#8596)
- Updated bug report URL in man pages. (#8600)

- twisted.internet.interfaces.ITransport.write() and twisted.internet.interfaces.ITransport.writeSequence() take bytes parameters. (#8636)
- twisted.python.filepath.AbstractFilePath.getContent() returns bytes. The docstring was updated to clarify this. (#8637)
- Updated release notes to reflect that 15.4 is the last version that supported Python 2.6, not 15.5. (#8651)
- A missing space in defer.rst resulted in badly rendered output. The space was added. (#8723)
- Dropped support for pyOpenSSL versions less than 16.0.0. (#8441)

- twisted.web.http.HTTPChannel now implements ITransport. Along with this change, twisted.web.http.Request now directs all its writes to the HTTPChannel, rather than to the backing transport. This change is required for future HTTP/2 work. (#8191)
- twisted.web.http.HTTPChannel now has a HTTP/2 implementation which will be used if the transport has negotiated using it through ALPN/NPN (see #8188). (#8194)

- twisted.web would previously dispatch pipelined requests simultaneously and queue the responses. This behaviour did not enforce any of the guarantees required by RFC 7230 or make it possible for users to enforce those requirements. For this reason, the parallel dispatch of requests has been removed. Pipelined requests are now processed serially. (#8320)
No significant changes have been made for this release.
- twisted.protocols.haproxy.proxyEndpoint provides an endpoint that wraps any other stream server endpoint with the PROXY protocol that retains information about the original client connection handled by the proxy; this wrapper is also exposed via the string description prefix 'haproxy'; for example 'twistd web --port haproxy:tcp:8765'.
