Version 22.6.0#

Features#

  • #2378 Introduce HTTP/3 and autogeneration of TLS certificates in DEBUG mode
    • 👶 EARLY RELEASE FEATURE: Serving Sanic over HTTP/3 is an early release feature. It does not yet fully cover the HTTP/3 spec, but instead aims for feature parity with Sanic's existing HTTP/1.1 server. Websockets, WebTransport, push responses are examples of some features not yet implemented.
    • 📦 EXTRA REQUIREMENT: Not all HTTP clients are capable of interfacing with HTTP/3 servers. You may need to install a HTTP/3 capable client.
    • 📦 EXTRA REQUIREMENT: In order to use TLS autogeneration, you must install either mkcert or trustme.
  • #2416 Add message to task.cancel
  • #2420 Add exception aliases for more consistent naming with standard HTTP response types (BadRequest, MethodNotAllowed, RangeNotSatisfiable)
  • #2432 Expose ASGI scope as a property on the Request object
  • #2438 Easier access to websocket class for annotation: from sanic import Websocket

    2. Execution of custom handlers after some part of response was sent
    3. Configuring fallback handlers on the ErrorHandler

Version 22.3.0#

Features#

  • #2347 API for multi-application server
    • 🚨 BREAKING CHANGE: The old sanic.worker.GunicornWorker has been removed. To run Sanic with gunicorn, you should use it thru uvicorn as described in their docs.
    • 🧁 SIDE EFFECT: Named background tasks are now supported, even in Python 3.7
  • #2357 Parse Authorization header as Request.credentials

    • 👶 BETA FEATURE: This feature will not work with path type matching, and is being released as a beta feature only.
  • sanic-routing#57 Change register_pattern to accept a str or Pattern
  • sanic-routing#58 Default matching on non-empty strings only, and new strorempty pattern type
    • 🚨 BREAKING CHANGE: Previously a route with a dynamic string parameter (/<foo> or /<foo:str>) would match on any string, including empty strings. It will now only match a non-empty string. To retain the old behavior, you should use the new parameter type: /<foo:strorempty>.

Bugfixes#

  • #2381 Fix newly assigned None in task registry
  • sanic-routing#52 Add type casting to regex route matching

  • #2362 22.3 Deprecations and changes
    1. debug=True and --debug do NOT automatically run auto_reload
    2. Default error render is with plain text (browsers still get HTML by default because auto looks at headers)
    3. config is required for ErrorHandler.finalize
    4. ErrorHandler.lookup requires two positional args
    5. Unused websocket protocol args removed
  • #2344 Deprecate loading of lowercase environment variables

Version 19.12.0#

Bugfixes

  • Fix blueprint middleware application

    Currently, any blueprint middleware registered, irrespective of which blueprint was used to do so, was being applied to all of the routes created by the @app and @blueprint alike.

    As part of this change, the blueprint based middleware application is enforced based on where they are registered.

    • If you register a middleware via @blueprint.middleware then it will apply only to the routes defined by the blueprint.
    • If you register a middleware via @blueprint_group.middleware then it will apply to all blueprint based routes that are part of the group.
    • If you define a middleware via @app.middleware then it will be applied on all available routes (#37)
  • Fix [url_for]{.title-ref} behavior with missing SERVER_NAME

    If the [SERVER_NAME]{.title-ref} was missing in the [app.config]{.title-ref} entity, the [url_for]{.title-ref} on the [request]{.title-ref} and [app]{.title-ref} were failing due to an [AttributeError]{.title-ref}. This fix makes the availability of [SERVER_NAME]{.title-ref} on our [app.config]{.title-ref} an optional behavior. (#1707)

Improved Documentation

  • Move docs from MD to RST

    Moved all docs from markdown to restructured text like the rest of the docs to unify the scheme and make it easier in the future to update documentation. (#1691)

  • Fix documentation for [get]{.title-ref} and [getlist]{.title-ref} of the [request.args]{.title-ref}

    Add additional example for showing the usage of [getlist]{.title-ref} and fix the documentation string for [request.args]{.title-ref} behavior (#1704)

Version 19.6.3#

Features

  • Enable Towncrier Support

    As part of this feature, [towncrier]{.title-ref} is being introduced as a mechanism to partially automate the process of generating and managing change logs as part of each of pull requests. (#1631)

Improved Documentation

  • Documentation infrastructure changes
    • Enable having a single common [CHANGELOG]{.title-ref} file for both GitHub page and documentation
    • Fix Sphinix deprecation warnings
    • Fix documentation warnings due to invalid [rst]{.title-ref} indentation
    • Enable common contribution guidelines file across GitHub and documentation via [CONTRIBUTING.rst]{.title-ref} (#1631)

Version 19.6.2#

Features

  • #1562 Remove aiohttp dependency and create new SanicTestClient based upon requests-async
  • #1475 Added ASGI support (Beta)
  • #1436 Add Configure support from object string

Bugfixes

  • #1587 Add missing handle for Expect header.
  • #1560 Allow to disable Transfer-Encoding: chunked.
  • #1558 Fix graceful shutdown.
  • #1594 Strict Slashes behavior fix

Deprecations and Removals

  • #1544 Drop dependency on distutil
  • #1562 Drop support for Python 3.5
  • #1568 Deprecate route removal.

Warning

Sanic will not support Python 3.5 from version 19.6 and forward. However, version 18.12LTS will have its support period extended thru December 2020, and therefore passing Python's official support version 3.5, which is set to expire in September 2020.

Version 19.3#

Features

  • #1497 Add support for zero-length and RFC 5987 encoded filename for multipart/form-data requests.

  • #1484 The type of expires attribute of sanic.cookies.Cookie is now enforced to be of type datetime.

  • #1482 Add support for the stream parameter of sanic.Sanic.add_route() available to sanic.Blueprint.add_route().

  • #1481 Accept negative values for route parameters with type int or number.

  • #1476 Deprecated the use of sanic.request.Request.raw_args - it has a fundamental flaw in which is drops repeated query string parameters. Added sanic.request.Request.query_args as a replacement for the original use-case.

  • #1472 Remove an unwanted None check in Request class repr implementation. This changes the default repr of a Request from <Request> to <Request: None />

  • #1470 Added 2 new parameters to sanic.app.Sanic.create_server:

    • return_asyncio_server - whether to return an asyncio.Server.
    • asyncio_server_kwargs - kwargs to pass to loop.create_server for the event loop that sanic is using.

    This is a breaking change.

  • #1499 Added a set of test cases that test and benchmark route resolution.

  • #1457 The type of the "max-age" value in a sanic.cookies.Cookie is now enforced to be an integer. Non-integer values are replaced with 0.

  • #1445 Added the endpoint attribute to an incoming request, containing the name of the handler function.

  • #1423 Improved request streaming. request.stream is now a bounded-size buffer instead of an unbounded queue. Callers must now call await request.stream.read() instead of await request.stream.get() to read each portion of the body.

    This is a breaking change.

Bugfixes

  • #1502 Sanic was prefetching time.time() and updating it once per second to avoid excessive time.time() calls. The implementation was observed to cause memory leaks in some cases. The benefit of the prefetch appeared to negligible, so this has been removed. Fixes #1500
  • #1501 Fix a bug in the auto-reloader when the process was launched as a module i.e. python -m init0.mod1 where the sanic server is started in init0/mod1.py with debug enabled and imports another module in init0.
  • #1376 Allow sanic test client to bind to a random port by specifying port=None when constructing a SanicTestClient
  • #1399 Added the ability to specify middleware on a blueprint group, so that all routes produced from the blueprints in the group have the middleware applied.
  • #1442 Allow the the use the SANIC_ACCESS_LOG environment variable to enable/disable the access log when not explicitly passed to app.run(). This allows the access log to be disabled for example when running via gunicorn.

Added a test for pickling and unpickling blueprints Added a test for pickling and unpickling sanic itself Added a test for enabling multiprocessing on an app with a blueprint (only useful to catch this bug if the tests are run on Windows).
