Waitress is meant to be a production-quality pure-Python WSGI server
with very acceptable performance. It has no dependencies except
ones which live in the Python standard library. It supports HTTP/1.0
and HTTP/1.1.

Log message:
py-waitress: updated to 3.0.0

3.0.0 (2024-02-04)
------------------

- Rename "master" git branch to "main"

- Fix a bug that would appear on macOS whereby if we accept() a socket that is
  already gone, setting socket options would fail and take down the server. See
  https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/399

- Fixed testing of vendored asyncore code to not rely on particular naming for
  errno's. See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/397

- HTTP Request methods and versions are now validated to meet the HTTP
  standards thereby dropping invalid requests on the floor. See
  https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/423

- No longer close the connection when sending a HEAD request response. See
  https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/428

- Always attempt to send the Connection: close response header when we are
  going to close the connection to let the remote know in more instances.
  https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/429

- Python 3.7 is no longer supported. Add support for Python 3.11, 3.12 and
  PyPy 3.9, 3.10. See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/412

- Document that trusted_proxy may be set to a wildcard value to trust all
  proxies. See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/431

Log message:
py-waitress: updated to 2.1.2

2.1.2
-----

Bugfix
~~~~~~

- When expose_tracebacks is enabled waitress would fail to properly encode
  unicode thereby causing another error during error handling. See
  https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/378

- Header length checking had a calculation that was done incorrectly when the
  data was received across multple socket reads. This calculation has been
  corrected, and no longer will Waitress send back a 413 Request Entity Too
  Large. See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/376

Security Bugfix
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- in 2.1.0 a new feature was introduced that allowed the WSGI thread to start
  sending data to the socket. However this introduced a race condition whereby
  a socket may be closed in the sending thread while the main thread is about
  to call select() therey causing the entire application to be taken down.
  Waitress will no longer close the socket in the WSGI thread, instead waking
  up the main thread to cleanup. See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/377

2.1.1
-----

Security Bugfix
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Waitress now validates that chunked encoding extensions are valid, and don't
  contain invalid characters that are not allowed. They are still skipped/not
  processed, but if they contain invalid data we no longer continue in and
  return a 400 Bad Request. This stops potential HTTP desync/HTTP request
  smuggling. Thanks to Zhang Zeyu for reporting this issue. See
  https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/security/advisories/GHSA-4f7p-27jc-3c36

- Waitress now validates that the chunk length is only valid hex digits when
  parsing chunked encoding, and values such as ``0x01`` and ``+01`` are no
  longer supported. This stops potential HTTP desync/HTTP request smuggling.
  Thanks to Zhang Zeyu for reporting this issue. See
  https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/security/advisories/GHSA-4f7p-27jc-3c36

- Waitress now validates that the Content-Length sent by a remote contains only
  digits in accordance with RFC7230 and will return a 400 Bad Request when the
  Content-Length header contains invalid data, such as ``+10`` which would
  previously get parsed as ``10`` and accepted. This stops potential HTTP
  desync/HTTP request smuggling Thanks to Zhang Zeyu for reporting this issue. See
  https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/security/advisories/GHSA-4f7p-27jc-3c36

2.1.0
-----

Python Version Support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Python 3.6 is no longer supported by Waitress

- Python 3.10 is fully supported by Waitress

Bugfix
~~~~~~

- ``wsgi.file_wrapper`` now sets the ``seekable``, ``seek``, and ``tell``
  attributes from the underlying file if the underlying file is seekable. This
  allows WSGI middleware to implement things like range requests for example

  See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/issues/359 and
  https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/363

- In Python 3 ``OSError`` is no longer subscriptable, this caused failures on
  Windows attempting to loop to find an socket that would work for use in the
  trigger.

  See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/361

- Fixed an issue whereby ``BytesIO`` objects were not properly closed, and
  thereby would not get cleaned up until garbage collection would get around to
  it.

  This led to potential for random memory spikes/memory issues, see
  https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/358 and
  https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/issues/357 .

  With thanks to Florian Schulze for testing/vaidating this fix!

Features
~~~~~~~~

- When the WSGI app starts sending data to the output buffer, we now attempt to
  send data directly to the socket. This avoids needing to wake up the main
  thread to start sending data. Allowing faster transmission of the first byte.
  See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/364

  With thanks to Michael Merickel for being a great rubber ducky!

- Add REQUEST_URI to the WSGI environment.

  REQUEST_URI is similar to ``request_uri`` in nginx. It is a string that
  contains the request path before separating the query string and
  decoding ``%``-escaped characters.

This flag should be set for packages that import pkg_resources

Set this flag for packages that need it and bump PKGREVISION.
