========= Changes ========= 1.1.3 (2022-08-25) ================== - Add support for Python 3.11. Please note that Windows binary wheels are not available at this time. 1.1.2 (2021-09-29) ================== - Fix a potential crash due to a reference counting error when Python subclasses of ``greenlet.greenlet`` were deallocated. The crash became more common on Python 3.10; on earlier versions, silent memory corruption could result. See `issue 245 `_. Patch by fygao-wish. - Fix a leak of a list object when the last reference to a greenlet was deleted from some other thread than the one to which it belonged. For this to work correctly, you must call a greenlet API like ``getcurrent()`` before the thread owning the greenlet exits: this is a long-standing limitation that can also lead to the leak of a thread's main greenlet if not called; we hope to lift this limitation. Note that in some cases this may also fix leaks of greenlet objects themselves. See `issue 251 `_. - Python 3.10: Tracing or profiling into a spawned greenlet didn't work as expected. See `issue 256 `_, reported by Joe Rickerby. 1.1.1 (2021-08-06) ================== - Provide Windows binary wheels for Python 3.10 (64-bit only). - Update Python 3.10 wheels to be built against 3.10rc1, where applicable. 1.1.0 (2021-05-06) ================== - Add support for Python 3.10. Pre-built binary wheels for 3.10 are not currently available for all platforms. The greenlet ABI is different on Python 3.10 from all previous versions, but as 3.10 was never supported before, and the ABI has not changed on other Python versions, this is not considered a reason to change greenlet's major version. 1.0.0 (2021-01-13) ================== - Fix %s and %r formatting of a greenlet on Python 2. Previously it would result in a Unicode string instead of a native string. See `issue 218 `_. - Move continuous integration from Travis CI to Github Actions. 1.0a1 (2020-11-20) ================== - Add the ability to set a greenlet's PEP 567 contextvars context directly, by assigning to the greenlet's ``gr_context`` attribute. This restores support for some patterns of using greenlets atop an async environment that became more challenging in 0.4.17. Thanks to Joshua Oreman, Mike bayer, and Fantix King, among others. See `PR 198 `_. - The repr of greenlet objects now includes extra information about its state. This is purely informative and the details are subject to change. See `issue 215 `_. - The ``greenlet`` module is now a package. There are no API changes, so all existing imports, including from C code, should continue to work. - (C API) The undocumented ``GREENLET_VERSION`` macro that defined a string giving the greenlet version is now deprecated and will not be updated. - (Documentation) Publish the change log to https://greenlet.readthedocs.io Supported Platforms ------------------- - Drop support for Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4. The project metadata now includes the ``python_requires`` data to help installation tools understand supported versions. - Add partial support for AIX ppc64 and IBM i. Thanks to Jesse Gorzinski and Kevin Adler. See `PR 197 `_. Packaging Changes ----------------- - Require setuptools to build from source. - Stop asking setuptools to build both .tar.gz and .zip sdists. PyPI has standardized on .tar.gz for all platforms. - Stop using a custom distutils command to build extensions. distutils is deprecated. - Remove the ability to use the deprecated command ``python setup.py test``. Run greenlet tests with your favorite unittest-compatible test runner, e.g., ``python -m unittest discover greenlet.tests``. See `issue 185 `_. - The directory layout and resulting sdists have changed. See `issue 184 `_. - greenlet is now always built with support for tracing and garbage collection, and, on Python 3.7 and above, support for context variables. The internal and undocumented C preprocessor macros that could be used to alter that at compile time have been removed (no combination other than the defaults was ever tested). This helps define a stable ABI. 0.4.17 (2020-09-22) =================== - Support for PEP 567 ContextVars 0.4.16 ====== - Support for DEC Alpha architecture - Support for Python 3.9 - Support for Python 3.10a0 0.4.15 ====== - Support for RISC-V architecture - Workaround a gcc bug on ppc64 0.4.14 ====== - Support for C-SKY architecture - Fixed support for ppc64 ABI - Fixed support for Python 3.7 0.4.13 ====== - Support for Python 3.7 - Support for MinGW x64 0.4.12 ====== - Stop using trashcan api 0.4.11 ====== - Fixes for aarch64 architecture 0.4.10 ====== - Added missing files to manifest - Added workaround for ppc32 on Linux - Start building binary manylinux1 wheels 0.4.9 ===== - Fixed Windows builds 0.4.8 ===== - Added support for iOS (arm32) - Added support for ppc64le 0.4.7 ===== - Added a missing workaround for ``return 0`` on mips - Restore compatibility with Python 2.5 - Fixed stack switching on sparc 0.4.6 ===== - Expose ``_stack_saved`` property on greenlet objects, it may be used to introspect the amount of memory used by a saved stack, but the API is subject to change in the future - Added a workaround for ``return 0`` compiler optimizations on all architectures - C API typo fixes 0.4.5 ===== - Fixed several bugs in greenlet C API - Fixed a bug in multi-threaded applications, which manifested itself with spurious "cannot switch to a different thread" exceptions - Fixed some crashes on arm and mips architectures 0.4.4 ===== - Fixed PyGreenlet_SetParent signature, thanks to BoonsNaibot - Fixed 64-bit Windows builds depending on wrong runtime dll 0.4.3 ===== - Better slp_switch performance on SPARC - Drop support for Python 2.3 - Fix trashcan assertions on debug builds of Python - Remove deprecated -fno-tree-dominator-opts compiler switch - Enable switch code for SunStudio on 32-bit SunOS - Support for abc abstract methods in greenlet subclasses - Support custom directories for tests - Document switch tracing support 0.4.2 ===== - Add .travis.yml - Fix 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function - Check _MSC_VER for msvc specific code - Fix slp_switch on SPARC for multi-threaded environments - Add support for m68k 0.4.1 ===== * fix segfaults when using gcc 4.8 on amd64/x86 unix * try to disable certain gcc 4.8 optimizations that make greenlet crash * Fix greenlet on aarch64 with gcc 4.8 * workaround segfault on SunOS/sun4v * Add support for Aarch64 * Add support for x32 psABI on x86_64 * Changed memory constraints for assembly macro for PPC Linux platforms. 0.4.0 ===== * Greenlet has an instance dictionary now, which means it can be used for implementing greenlet local storage, etc. However, this might introduce incompatibility if subclasses have __dict__ in their __slots__.
