Changelog

v11.1.2

(2025-11-07)

Bug fixes

• The "service unavailable" thread is now turn down properly when the server is shut down -- by :user:`itamarst`.

  This fixes a regression in Cheroot originally introduced in v11.0.0 that would manifest itself under Python 3.12 and older. In certain conditions like under CherryPy, it would also lead to hangs on tear-down.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: :issue:`769`, :issue:`794`.

---

v11.0.0

(2025-09-21)

Features

• When load is too high, Cheroot now responds with a 503 Service Unavailable HTTP error. Previously it silently closed the connection.

  -- by :user:`itamarst`

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: :issue:`745`.

Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes

• Cheroot dropped support for Python 3.6 and 3.7. It now requires Python 3.8 or later.

  -- by :user:`jaraco`

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: :issue:`565`, :issue:`633`.

  Related commits on GitHub: :commit:`437863ee`.

Packaging updates and notes for downstreams

• Declared Python 3.12 and Python 3.13 as supported officially -- by :user:`webknjaz`.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: :issue:`696`.

  Related commits on GitHub: :commit:`5db4f634`.

• The minimum version of the setuptools-scm build dependency has been set to 7. The Git archives are now produced by it natively, instead of relying on a third party plugin which is no longer being used.

  -- by :user:`serhii73`

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: :issue:`628`.

• The packaging metadata has been migrated to the :file:`pyproject.toml`-based PEP 621 declaration -- by :user:`jaraco` and :user:`webknjaz`.

  As a part of this update, the minimum version of the setuptools build backend was bumped to 61.2. Moreover, any compatibility shims that existed in :file:`setup.cfg` and :file:`setup.py` have been removed for good.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: :issue:`690`.

Contributor-facing changes

• The test infrastructure has been updated to stop using the pytest-forked plugin -- by :user:`jaraco` and :user:`webknjaz`.

  This plugin was causing problems with upgrading to modern versions of Pytest and it is not going to be fixed anytime soon.

  It was used in a test that interacts with the system resource limits under *NIX environments in hopes to isolate the side effects caused by the preparatory code.

  It is possible that this will have an effect on the test sessions and we may have to look for alternative solutions for test process isolation.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: :issue:`502`, :issue:`511`, :issue:`680`, :issue:`681`, :issue:`703`.

• The test infrastructure has been updated to start using the upstream reusable workflow :file:`reusable-tox.yml` from https://github.com/tox-dev/workflow -- by :user:`webknjaz`.

  This chance allows us to de-duplicate the commonly used CI shape.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: :issue:`743`.

v10.0.1

(2024-04-22)

Bug fixes

• Fixed a flaw where internally unhandled exceptions could crash the worker threads and eventually starve the server of its processing resources. It is no longer and issue and the unhandled errors are now logged and suppressed except for a few expected exceptions that are used for normal interruption requests.

  -- by :user:`cameronbrunner` and :user:`webknjaz`

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: :issue:`310`, :issue:`346`, :issue:`354`, :issue:`358`, :issue:`365`, :issue:`375`, :issue:`599`, :issue:`641`, :issue:`649`.

• Fixed compatibility with Python 3.8 in the built-in TLS adapter that relies on :py:mod:`python:ssl`.

  Modern Python versions communicate specialized exceptions :py:exc:`ssl.SSLEOFError` and :py:exc:`ssl.SSLZeroReturnError` where the older versions errored out in a very generic way.

  -- by :user:`toppk` and :user:`webknjaz`

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: :issue:`517`, :issue:`518`.

Packaging updates and notes for downstreams

• Started signing the package distribution artifacts in CI/CD with Sigstore and uploading them to GitHub Releases -- by :user:`webknjaz`.

  Related commits on GitHub: :commit:`27a3c944`, :commit:`c45f184e`.

• The change log management is now implemented through the :std:doc:`Towncrier <towncrier:index>` tool -- by :user:`webknjaz`.

  The contributors are now expected to :std:ref:`include change log fragment files in their pull requests <adding change notes with your prs>`.

  These news snippets can link one or more issues or pull requests, and be of one or more of the following categories:

  • bugfix: A bug fix for something we deemed an improper undesired behavior that got corrected in the release to match pre-agreed expectations.
  • feature: A new behavior, public APIs. That sort of stuff.
  • deprecation: A declaration of future API removals and breaking changes in behavior.
  • breaking: When something public gets removed in a breaking way. Could be deprecated in an earlier release.
  • doc: Notable updates to the documentation structure or build process.
  • packaging: Notes for downstreams about unobvious side effects and tooling. Changes in the test invocation considerations and runtime assumptions.
  • contrib: Stuff that affects the contributor experience. e.g. Running tests, building the docs, setting up the development environment.
  • misc: Changes that are hard to assign to any of the above categories.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: :issue:`654`.

Contributor-facing changes

• Started type-checking the project with MyPy against a range of versions instead of just one — Python 3.8–3.12 -- by :user:`webknjaz`.

  Related commits on GitHub: :commit:`4fa1e663`, :commit:`676edc4e`, :commit:`be9dbc41`.

• The project how has a :file:`.git-blame-ignore-revs` letting GitHub know which auto-formatting revisions to ignore. It is also possible to integrate it locally, if one wants to do so.

  -- by :user:`webknjaz`

  Related commits on GitHub: :commit:`5980a3fb`, :commit:`f8a1cc4d`.

• The project adopted the autopep8 tool to assist with automatic code formatting. It is chosen over black because it is less intrusive which is important to the maintainer as it promotes inclusivity. autopep8 is integrated into the pre-commit check runner and is configured to only correct PEP 8 violations, avoiding changes to compliant snippets.

  -- by :user:`webknjaz`

  Related commits on GitHub: :commit:`65ba7e69`.

• The continuous integration and pull request merges have been set up to only merge pull requests through merge queues -- by :user:`webknjaz`.

  Related commits on GitHub: :commit:`a7149e0c`.

• Documented the upgraded :std:doc:`release process <contributing/release_guide>` -- by :user:`webknjaz`.

v10.0.0

(2023-05-20)

• :issue:`504` via :pr:`505`: Cheroot now accepts a reuse_port parameter on the HTTPServer object. Subclasses overriding prepare_socket will no longer work and will need to adapt to the new interface.

v9.0.0

(2022-11-19)

• :issue:`252` via :pr:`339`: Cheroot now requires Python 3.6 or later. Python 3.5 and Python 2.7 are still supported by the maint/8.x branch and stabilizing bugfixes will be accepted to that branch.

v8.6.0

(2022-01-03)

Significant improvements:

• :issue:`384` via :pr:`385`, :pr:`406`: Exposed type stubs with annotations for public API -- by :user:`kasium`.
• :pr:`401` (related to the :pr:`352` effort): Started reusing the the expriration_interval setting as timeout in the low-level :py:func:`~select.select` invocation, effectively reducing the system load when idle, that is noticeable on low-end hardware systems. On Windows OS, due to different :py:func:`~select.select` behavior, the effect is less significant and comes with a theoretically decreased performance on quickly repeating requests, which has however found to be not significant in real world scenarios. -- by :user:`MichaIng`.

Internal changes:

• Implemented a manual-trigger-based release workflow.
• Integrated publishing GitHub Releases into the workflow.
• Migrated the docs theme to Furo (created by :user:`pradyunsg`).
• Attempted to improve the stability of testing.
• Configured the CI to test the same distribution as will be shipped.
• Improved the linting setup and contributor checklists.
• Stopped running tests under Ubuntu 16.04.
• Tweaked the distribution packages metadata to satisfy strict checks.
• Implemented distribution build reproducibility using a pip constraints lock-file.
• Added per-environment lock-files into the tox test environments.

v8.5.2

(2021-01-18)

• :issue:`358` via :pr:`359`: Fixed a regression from :pr:`199` that made the worker threads exit on invalid connection attempts and could make the whole server unresponsive once there was no workers left. -- by :user:`cameronbrunner`.

v8.5.1

(2020-12-12)

• :issue:`cherrypy/cherrypy#1873` via :pr:`340`: Resurrected an unintentionally removed feature of interrupting a server main thread by externally assigning an exception to the :py:meth:`HTTPServer.interrupt <cheroot.server.\ HTTPServer.interrupt>` property -- by :user:`liamstask`.
• :pr:`350`: Fixed the incarnation of an earlier regression of not resetting the serving state on :py:data:`~signal.SIGINT` originally fixed by :pr:`322` and :pr:`331` but reintroduced by the changes in :pr:`311` -- by :user:`liamstask`.

v8.5.0

(2020-12-05)

• :issue:`305` via :pr:`311`: In :py:class:`~cheroot.connections.ConnectionManager`, process connections as they become active rather than waiting for a tick event, addressing performance degradation introduced in v8.1.0 -- by :user:`liamstask`.
• :issue:`341` via :pr:`342`: Suppress legitimate OS errors expected on shutdown -- by :user:`webknjaz`.

v8.4.8

(2020-11-24)

• :issue:`317` via :pr:`337`: Fixed a regression in 8.4.5 where the connections dictionary would change size during iteration, leading to a :py:exc:`RuntimeError` raised in the logs -- by :user:`liamstask`.

v8.4.7

(2020-11-15)

• :pr:`334`: Started filtering out TLS/SSL errors when the version requested by the client is unsupported -- by :user:`sanderjo` and :user:`Safihre`.

v8.4.6

(2020-11-15)

• :issue:`328` via :pr:`322` and :pr:`331`: Fixed a regression introduced in the earlier refactoring in v8.4.4 via :pr:`309` that caused the :py:meth:`~cheroot.server.\ HTTPServer.serve` method to skip setting serving=False on :py:data:`~signal.SIGINT` and :py:data:`~signal.SIGTERM` -- by :user:`marc1n` and :user:`cristicbz`.

v8.4.5

(2020-08-24)

• :issue:`312` via :pr:`313`: Fixed a regression introduced in the earlier refactoring in v8.4.4 via :pr:`309` that caused the connection manager to modify the selector map while looping over it -- by :user:`liamstask`.
• :issue:`312` via :pr:`316`: Added a regression test for the error handling in :py:meth:`~cheroot.connections.\ ConnectionManager.get_conn` to ensure more stability -- by :user:`cyraxjoe`.

v8.4.4

(2020-08-12)

• :issue:`304` via :pr:`309`: Refactored :py:class:`~\ cheroot.connections.ConnectionManager` to use :py:meth:`~\ selectors.BaseSelector.get_map` and reorganized the readable connection tracking -- by :user:`liamstask`.
• :issue:`304` via :pr:`309`: Fixed the server shutdown sequence to avoid race condition resulting in accepting new connections while it is being terminated -- by :user:`liamstask`.

v8.4.3

(2020-08-12)

• :pr:`282`: Fixed a race condition happening when an HTTP client attempts to reuse a persistent HTTP connection after it's been discarded on the server in :py:class:`~cheroot.\ server.HTTPRequest` but no TCP FIN packet has been received yet over the wire -- by :user:`meaksh`.

  This change populates the Keep-Alive header exposing the timeout value for persistent HTTP/1.1 connections which helps mitigate such race conditions by letting the client know not to reuse the connection after that time interval.

v8.4.2

(2020-07-28)

• Fixed a significant performance regression introduced in v8.1.0 (:issue:`305` via :pr:`308`) - by :user:`mar10`.

  The issue turned out to add 0.1s delay on new incoming connection processing. We've lowered that delay to mitigate the problem short-term, better fix is yet to come.

v8.4.1

(2020-07-26)

• Prevent :py:exc:`ConnectionAbortedError` traceback from being printed out to the terminal output during the app start-up on Windows when built-in TLS adapter is used (:issue:`302` via :pr:`306`) - by :user:`mxii-ca`.

v8.4.0

(2020-07-23)

• Converted management from low-level :py:func:`~select.select` to high-level :py:mod:`selectors` (:issue:`249` via :pr:`301`) - by :user:`tommilligan`.

  This change also introduces a conditional dependency on selectors2 as a fall-back for legacy Python interpreters.

v8.3.1

(2020-07-13)

• Fixed TLS socket related unclosed resource warnings (:pr:`291` and :pr:`298`).
• Made terminating keep-alive connections more graceful (:issue:`263` via :pr:`277`).

v8.1.0

(2019-10-09)

• Workers are now request-based, addressing the long-standing issue with keep-alive connections (:issue:`91` via :pr:`199`).

v8.0.0

(2019-10-09)

• :issue:`231` via :pr:`232`: Remove custom setup.cfg parser handling, allowing the project (including sdist) to build/run on setuptools 41.4. Now building cheroot requires setuptools 30.3 or later (for declarative config support) and preferably 34.4 or later (as indicated in pyproject.toml).

v7.0.0

(2019-09-26)

• :pr:`224`: Refactored "open URL" behavior in :py:mod:`~cheroot.test.webtest` to rely on retry_call. Callers can no longer pass raise_subcls or ssl_context positionally, but must pass them as keyword arguments.

v5.5.0

(2017-05-02)

• :issue:`17` via :pr:`25`: Instead of a read_headers function, cheroot now supplies a :py:class:`HeaderReader <cheroot.server.HeaderReader>` class to perform the same function.

  Any :py:class:`HTTPRequest <cheroot.server.HTTPRequest>` object may override the header_reader attribute to customize the handling of incoming headers.

  The server module also presents a provisional implementation of a :py:class:`DropUnderscoreHeaderReader <cheroot.server.DropUnderscoreHeaderReader>` that will exclude any headers containing an underscore. It remains an exercise for the implementer to demonstrate how this functionality might be employed in a server such as CherryPy.

• :pr:`26`: Configured TravisCI to run tests under OS X.
