• Loosen up pid argument parsing in manhole-cli to allow using paths with any prefix (not just /tmp).

1.6.0 (2019-01-19)

• Testing improvements (changed some skips to xfail, added osx in Travis).
• Fixed long standing Python 2.7 bug where sys.getfilesystemencoding() would be broken after installing a threaded manhole. See :issue:`51`.

• Documented and implemented a solution for using Manhole with Eventlet. See :issue:`49`.

1.5.0 (2017-08-31)

• Added two string aliases for connection_handler option. Now you can conveniently use connection_handler="exec".
• Improved handle_connection_exec. It now has a clean way to exit (exit()) and properly closes the socket.

1.4.0 (2017-08-29)

• Added the connection_handler install option. Default value is manhole.handle_connection_repl, and alternate manhole.handle_connection_exec is provided (very simple: no output redirection, no stacktrace dumping).
• Dropped Python 3.2 from the test grid. It may work but it's a huge pain to support (pip/pytest don't support it anymore).
• Added Python 3.5 and 3.6 in the test grid.
• Fixed issues with piping to manhole-cli. Now echo foobar | manhole-cli will wait 1 second for output from manhole (you can customize this with the --timeout option).
• Fixed issues with newer PyPy (caused by gevent/eventlet socket unwrapping).

1.3.0 (2015-09-03)

• Allowed Manhole to be configured without any thread or activation (in case you want to manually activate).
• Added an example and tests for using Manhole with uWSGi.
• Fixed error handling in manhole-cli on Python 3 (exc vars don't leak anymore).
• Fixed support for running in gevent/eventlet-using apps on Python 3 (now that they support Python 3).
• Allowed reinstalling the manhole (in non-strict mode). Previous install is undone.

1.2.0 (2015-07-06)

• Changed manhole-cli:
  • Won't spam the terminal with errors if socket file doesn't exist.
  • Allowed sending any signal (new --signal argument).
  • Fixed some validation issues for the PID argument.

1.1.0 (2015-06-06)

• Added support for installing the manhole via the PYTHONMANHOLE environment variable.
• Added a strict install option. Set it to false to avoid getting the AlreadyInstalled exception.
• Added a manhole-cli script that emulates socat readline unix-connect:/tmp/manhole-1234.

1.0.0 (2014-10-13)

• Added socket_path install option (contributed by Nir Soffer).
• Added reinstall_delay install option.
• Added locals install option (contributed by Nir Soffer).
• Added redirect_stderr install option (contributed by Nir Soffer).
• Lots of internals cleanup (contributed by Nir Soffer).

0.6.2 (2014-04-28)

• Fix OS X regression.

0.6.1 (2014-04-28)

• Support for OS X (contributed by Saulius Menkevičius).
