py-tornado: updated to 6.3.1
What's new in Tornado 6.3.1
===========================
Apr 21, 2023
------------
``tornado.web``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- `.RequestHandler.set_cookie` once again accepts capitalized keyword arguments
for backwards compatibility. This is deprecated and in Tornado 7.0 only lowercase
arguments will be accepted.
What's new in Tornado 6.3.0
===========================
Apr 17, 2023
------------
Highlights
~~~~~~~~~~
- The new `.Application` setting ``xsrf_cookie_name`` can now be used to
take advantage of the ``__Host`` cookie prefix for improved security.
To use it, add ``{"xsrf_cookie_name": "__Host-xsrf", \
"xsrf_cookie_kwargs":
{"secure": True}}`` to your `.Application` settings. Note that this \
feature
currently only works when HTTPS is used.
- `.WSGIContainer` now supports running the application in a \
``ThreadPoolExecutor`` so
the event loop is no longer blocked.
- `.AsyncTestCase` and `.AsyncHTTPTestCase`, which were deprecated in Tornado 6.2,
are no longer deprecated.
- WebSockets are now much faster at receiving large messages split into many
fragments.
General changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Python 3.7 is no longer supported; the minimum supported Python version is 3.8.
Python 3.12 is now supported.
- To avoid spurious deprecation warnings, users of Python 3.10 should upgrade
to at least version 3.10.9, and users of Python 3.11 should upgrade to at least
version 3.11.1.
- Tornado submodules are now imported automatically on demand. This means it is
now possible to use a single ``import tornado`` statement and refer to objects
in submodules such as `tornado.web.RequestHandler`.
Deprecation notices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- In Tornado 7.0, `tornado.testing.ExpectLog` will match ``WARNING``
and above regardless of the current logging configuration, unless the
``level`` argument is used.
- `.RequestHandler.get_secure_cookie` is now a deprecated alias for
`.RequestHandler.get_signed_cookie`. `.RequestHandler.set_secure_cookie`
is now a deprecated alias for `.RequestHandler.set_signed_cookie`.
- `.RequestHandler.clear_all_cookies` is deprecated. No direct replacement
is provided; `.RequestHandler.clear_cookie` should be used on individual
cookies.
- Calling the `.IOLoop` constructor without a ``make_current`` argument, which was
deprecated in Tornado 6.2, is no longer deprecated.
- `.AsyncTestCase` and `.AsyncHTTPTestCase`, which were deprecated in Tornado 6.2,
are no longer deprecated.
- `.AsyncTestCase.get_new_ioloop` is deprecated.
``tornado.auth``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- New method `.GoogleOAuth2Mixin.get_google_oauth_settings` can now be overridden
to get credentials from a source other than the `.Application` settings.
``tornado.gen``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- `contextvars` now work properly when a ``@gen.coroutine`` calls a native coroutine.
``tornado.options``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- `~.OptionParser.parse_config_file` now recognizes single comma-separated \
strings (in addition to
lists of strings) for options with ``multiple=True``.
``tornado.web``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- New `.Application` setting ``xsrf_cookie_name`` can be used to change the
name of the XSRF cookie. This is most useful to take advantage of the
``__Host-`` cookie prefix.
- `.RequestHandler.get_secure_cookie` and `.RequestHandler.set_secure_cookie`
(and related methods and attributes) have been renamed to
`~.RequestHandler.get_signed_cookie` and `~.RequestHandler.set_signed_cookie`.
This makes it more explicit what kind of security is provided, and avoids
confusion with the ``Secure`` cookie attribute and ``__Secure-`` cookie prefix.
The old names remain supported as deprecated aliases.
- `.RequestHandler.clear_cookie` now accepts all keyword arguments accepted by
`~.RequestHandler.set_cookie`. In some cases clearing a cookie requires certain
arguments to be passed the same way in which it was set.
- `.RequestHandler.clear_all_cookies` now accepts additional keyword arguments
for the same reason as ``clear_cookie``. However, since the requirements
for additional arguments mean that it cannot reliably clear all cookies,
this method is now deprecated.
``tornado.websocket``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- It is now much faster (no longer quadratic) to receive large messages that
have been split into many fragments.
- `.websocket_connect` now accepts a ``resolver`` parameter.
``tornado.wsgi``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- `.WSGIContainer` now accepts an ``executor`` parameter which can be used
to run the WSGI application on a thread pool.
