What's new in Tornado 1.1
|

=========================

We are pleased to announce the release of Tornado 1.1, available from
|
|
https://github.com/downloads/facebook/tornado/tornado-1.1.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Changes in this release:
|
|
* RequestHandler.async_callback and related functions in other classes
|
|
are no longer needed in most cases (although it's harmless to continue
|
|
using them). Uncaught exceptions will now cause the request to be closed
|
|
even in a callback. If you're curious how this works, see the new
|
|
tornado.stack_context module.
|
|
* The new tornado.testing module contains support for unit testing
|
|
asynchronous IOLoop-based code.
|
|
* AsyncHTTPClient has been rewritten (the new implementation was
|
|
available as AsyncHTTPClient2 in Tornado 1.0; both names are
|
|
supported for backwards compatibility).
|
|
* The tornado.auth module has had a number of updates, including support
|
|
for OAuth 2.0 and the Facebook Graph API, and upgrading Twitter and
|
|
Google support to OAuth 1.0a.
|
|
* The websocket module is back and supports the latest version (76) of the
|
|
websocket protocol. Note that this module's interface is different
|
|
from the websocket module that appeared in pre-1.0 versions of Tornado.
|
|
* New method RequestHandler.initialize() can be overridden in subclasses
|
|
to simplify handling arguments from URLSpecs. The sequence of methods
|
|
called during initialization is documented at
|
|
http://tornadoweb.org/documentation#overriding-requesthandler-methods
|
|
* get_argument() and related methods now work on PUT requests in addition
|
|
to POST.
|
|
* The httpclient module now supports HTTP proxies.
|
|
* When HTTPServer is run in SSL mode, the SSL handshake is now non-blocking.
|
|
* Many smaller bug fixes and documentation updates
|
|
|
|
Backwards-compatibility notes:
|
|
* While most users of Tornado should not have to deal with the stack_context
|
|
module directly, users of worker thread pools and similar constructs may
|
|
need to use stack_context.wrap and/or NullContext to avoid memory leaks.
|
|
* The new AsyncHTTPClient still works with libcurl version 7.16.x, but it
|
|
performs better when both libcurl and pycurl are at least version 7.18.2.
|
|
* OAuth transactions started under previous versions of the auth module
|
|
cannot be completed under the new module. This applies only to the
|
|
initial authorization process; once an authorized token is issued that
|
|
token works with either version.
|
|
|
|
Many thanks to everyone who contributed patches, bug reports, and feedback
|
|
that went into this release!
