It is now an error to pass control characters, newlines or tabs. +* `.StaticFileHandler` has been reorganized internally and now has additional + extension points that can be overridden in subclasses. +* `.StaticFileHandler` now supports HTTP ``Range`` requests. + `.StaticFileHandler` is still not suitable for files too large to + comfortably fit in memory, but ``Range`` support is necessary in some + browsers to enable seeking of HTML5 audio and video. +* `.StaticFileHandler` now uses longer hashes by default, and uses the same + hashes for ``Etag`` as it does for versioned urls. +* `.StaticFileHandler.make_static_url` and `.RequestHandler.static_url` + now have an additional keyword argument ``include_version`` to suppress + the url versioning. +* `.StaticFileHandler` now reads its file in chunks, which will reduce + memory fragmentation. +* Fixed a case where errors in ``SSLIOStream.connect`` (and + ``SimpleAsyncHTTPClient``) were not being reported correctly. +* `.Resolver` now has a `~.Resolver.close` method. +* Fixed a potential memory leak with long chains of `tornado.gen` coroutines. +* ``curl_httpclient`` now supports the ``PATCH`` and ``OPTIONS`` methods + without the use of ``allow_nonstandard_methods=True``.
