7## 0.21.1 (16th November, 2021)
8
9### Fixed
10
11* The `response.url` property is now correctly annotated as `URL`, instead of `Optional[URL]`. (#1940)
12
13## 0.21.0 (15th November, 2021)
14
15The 0.21.0 release integrates against a newly redesigned `httpcore` backend.
16
17Both packages ought to automatically update to the required versions, but if you are
18seeing any issues, you should ensure that you have `httpx==0.21.*` and `httpcore==0.14.*` installed.
19
20### Added
21
22* The command-line client will now display connection information when `-v/--verbose` is used.
23* The command-line client will now display server certificate information when `-v/--verbose` is used.
24* The command-line client is now able to properly detect if the outgoing request
25should be formatted as HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2, based on the result of the HTTP/2 negotiation.
26
27### Removed
28
29* Curio support is no longer currently included. Please get in touch if you require this, so that we can assess priorities.

31## 0.20.0 (13th October, 2021)
32
33The 0.20.0 release adds an integrated command-line client, and also includes some
34design changes. The most notable of these is that redirect responses are no longer
35automatically followed, unless specifically requested.
36
37This design decision prioritises a more explicit approach to redirects, in order
38to avoid code that unintentionally issues multiple requests as a result of
39misconfigured URLs.
40
41For example, previously a client configured to send requests to `http://api.github.com/`
42would end up sending every API request twice, as each request would be redirected to `https://api.github.com/`.
43
44If you do want auto-redirect behaviour, you can enable this either by configuring
45the client instance with `Client(follow_redirects=True)`, or on a per-request
46basis, with `.get(..., follow_redirects=True)`.
47
48This change is a classic trade-off between convenience and precision, with no "right"
49answer. See [discussion #1785](https://github.com/encode/httpx/discussions/1785) for more
50context.
51
52The other major design change is an update to the Transport API, which is the low-level
53interface against which requests are sent. Previously this interface used only primitive
54datastructures, like so...
55
56```python
57(status_code, headers, stream, extensions) = transport.handle_request(method, url, headers, stream, extensions)
58try
59    ...
60finally:
61    stream.close()
62```
63
64Now the interface is much simpler...
65
66```python
67response = transport.handle_request(request)
68try
69    ...
70finally:
71    response.close()
72```
73
74### Changed
75
76* The `allow_redirects` flag is now `follow_redirects` and defaults to `False`.
77* The `raise_for_status()` method will now raise an exception for any responses
78  except those with 2xx status codes. Previously only 4xx and 5xx status codes
79  would result in an exception.
80* The low-level transport API changes to the much simpler `response = transport.handle_request(request)`.
81* The `client.send()` method no longer accepts a `timeout=...` argument, but the
82  `client.build_request()` does. This required by the signature change of the
83  Transport API. The request timeout configuration is now stored on the request
84  instance, as `request.extensions['timeout']`.
85
86### Added
87
88* Added the `httpx` command-line client.
89* Response instances now include `.is_informational`, `.is_success`, `.is_redirect`, `.is_client_error`, and `.is_server_error`
90  properties for checking 1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, and 5xx response types. Note that the behaviour of `.is_redirect` is slightly different in that it now returns True for all 3xx responses, in order to allow for a consistent set of properties onto the different HTTP status code types. The `response.has_redirect_location` location may be used to determine responses with properly formed URL redirects.
91
92### Fixed
93
94* `response.iter_bytes()` no longer raises a ValueError when called on a response with no content. (Pull #1827)
95* The `'wsgi.error'` configuration now defaults to `sys.stderr`, and is corrected to be a `TextIO` interface, not a `BytesIO` interface. Additionally, the WSGITransport now accepts a `wsgi_error` confguration. (Pull #1828)
96* Follow the WSGI spec by properly closing the iterable returned by the application. (Pull #1830)
97
98## 0.19.0 (19th August, 2021)
99
100### Added
101
102* Add support for `Client(allow_redirects=<bool>)`. (Pull #1790)
103* Add automatic character set detection, when no `charset` is included in the response `Content-Type` header. (Pull #1791)
104
105### Changed
106
107* Event hooks are now also called for any additional redirect or auth requests/responses. (Pull #1806)
108* Strictly enforce that upload files must be opened in binary mode. (Pull #1736)
109* Strictly enforce that client instances can only be opened and closed once, and cannot be re-opened. (Pull #1800)
110* Drop `mode` argument from `httpx.Proxy(..., mode=...)`. (Pull #1795)
111
112## 0.18.2 (17th June, 2021)
113
114### Added
115
116* Support for Python 3.10. (Pull #1687)
117* Expose `httpx.USE_CLIENT_DEFAULT`, used as the default to `auth` and `timeout` parameters in request methods. (Pull #1634)
118* Support [HTTP/2 "prior knowledge"](https://python-hyper.org/projects/hyper-h2/en/v2.3.1/negotiating-http2.html#prior-knowledge), using `httpx.Client(http1=False, http2=True)`. (Pull #1624)
119
120### Fixed
121
122* Clean up some cases where warnings were being issued. (Pull #1687)
123* Prefer Content-Length over Transfer-Encoding: chunked for content=<file-like> cases. (Pull #1619)
124
125## 0.18.1 (29th April, 2021)
126
127### Changed
128
129* Update brotli support to use the `brotlicffi` package (Pull #1605)
130* Ensure that `Request(..., stream=...)` does not auto-generate any headers on the request instance. (Pull #1607)
131
132### Fixed
133
134* Pass through `timeout=...` in top-level httpx.stream() function. (Pull #1613)
135* Map httpcore transport close exceptions to httpx exceptions. (Pull #1606)
136
137## 0.18.0 (27th April, 2021)
138
139The 0.18.x release series formalises our low-level Transport API, introducing the base classes `httpx.BaseTransport` and `httpx.AsyncBaseTransport`.
140
141See the "[Writing custom transports](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/#writing-custom-transports)" documentation and the [`httpx.BaseTransport.handle_request()`](https://github.com/encode/httpx/blob/397aad98fdc8b7580a5fc3e88f1578b4302c6382/httpx/_transports/base.py#L77-L147) docstring for more complete details on implementing custom transports.
142
143Pull request #1522 includes a checklist of differences from the previous `httpcore` transport API, for developers implementing custom transports.
144
145The following API changes have been issuing deprecation warnings since 0.17.0 onwards, and are now fully deprecated...
146
147* You should now use httpx.codes consistently instead of httpx.StatusCodes.
148* Use limits=... instead of pool_limits=....
149* Use proxies={"http://": ...} instead of proxies={"http": ...} for scheme-specific mounting.
150
151### Changed
152
153* Transport instances now inherit from `httpx.BaseTransport` or `httpx.AsyncBaseTransport`,
154  and should implement either the `handle_request` method or `handle_async_request` method. (Pull #1522, #1550)
155* The `response.ext` property and `Response(ext=...)` argument are now named `extensions`. (Pull #1522)
156* The recommendation to not use `data=<bytes|str|bytes (a)iterator>` in favour of `content=<bytes|str|bytes (a)iterator>` has now been escalated to a deprecation warning. (Pull #1573)
157* Drop `Response(on_close=...)` from API, since it was a bit of leaking implementation detail. (Pull #1572)
158* When using a client instance, cookies should always be set on the client, rather than on a per-request basis. We prefer enforcing a stricter API here because it provides clearer expectations around cookie persistence, particularly when redirects occur. (Pull #1574)
159* The runtime exception `httpx.ResponseClosed` is now named `httpx.StreamClosed`. (#1584)
160* The `httpx.QueryParams` model now presents an immutable interface. There is a discussion on [the design and motivation here](https://github.com/encode/httpx/discussions/1599). Use `client.params = client.params.merge(...)` instead of `client.params.update(...)`. The basic query manipulation methods are `query.set(...)`, `query.add(...)`, and `query.remove()`. (#1600)
161
162### Added
163
164* The `Request` and `Response` classes can now be serialized using pickle. (#1579)
165* Handle `data={"key": [None|int|float|bool]}` cases. (Pull #1539)
166* Support `httpx.URL(**kwargs)`, for example `httpx.URL(scheme="https", host="www.example.com", path="/')`, or `httpx.URL("https://www.example.com/", username="tom@gmail.com", password="123 456")`. (Pull #1601)
167* Support `url.copy_with(params=...)`. (Pull #1601)
168* Add `url.params` parameter, returning an immutable `QueryParams` instance. (Pull #1601)
169* Support query manipulation methods on the URL class. These are `url.copy_set_param()`, `url.copy_add_param()`, `url.copy_remove_param()`, `url.copy_merge_params()`. (Pull #1601)
170* The `httpx.URL` class now performs port normalization, so `:80` ports are stripped from `http` URLs and `:443` ports are stripped from `https` URLs. (Pull #1603)
171* The `URL.host` property returns unicode strings for internationalized domain names. The `URL.raw_host` property returns byte strings with IDNA escaping applied. (Pull #1590)
172
173### Fixed
174
175* Fix Content-Length for cases of `files=...` where unicode string is used as the file content. (Pull #1537)
176* Fix some cases of merging relative URLs against `Client(base_url=...)`. (Pull #1532)
177* The `request.content` attribute is now always available except for streaming content, which requires an explicit `.read()`. (Pull #1583)
178
179## 0.17.1 (March 15th, 2021)
180
181### Fixed
182
183* Type annotation on `CertTypes` allows `keyfile` and `password` to be optional. (Pull #1503)
184* Fix httpcore pinned version. (Pull #1495)
185
186## 0.17.0 (February 28th, 2021)
187
188### Added
189
190* Add `httpx.MockTransport()`, allowing to mock out a transport using pre-determined responses. (Pull #1401, Pull #1449)
191* Add `httpx.HTTPTransport()` and `httpx.AsyncHTTPTransport()` default transports. (Pull #1399)
192* Add mount API support, using `httpx.Client(mounts=...)`. (Pull #1362)
193* Add `chunk_size` parameter to `iter_raw()`, `iter_bytes()`, `iter_text()`. (Pull #1277)
194* Add `keepalive_expiry` parameter to `httpx.Limits()` configuration. (Pull #1398)
195* Add repr to `httpx.Cookies` to display available cookies. (Pull #1411)
196* Add support for `params=<tuple>` (previously only `params=<list>` was supported). (Pull #1426)
197
198### Fixed
199
200* Add missing `raw_path` to ASGI scope. (Pull #1357)
201* Tweak `create_ssl_context` defaults to use `trust_env=True`. (Pull #1447)
202* Properly URL-escape WSGI `PATH_INFO`. (Pull #1391)
203* Properly set default ports in WSGI transport. (Pull #1469)
204* Properly encode slashes when using `base_url`. (Pull #1407)
205* Properly map exceptions in `request.aclose()`. (Pull #1465)
206
207## 0.16.1 (October 8th, 2020)
208
209### Fixed
210
211* Support literal IPv6 addresses in URLs. (Pull #1349)

213
214## 0.16.0 (October 6th, 2020)

216### Changed
217
218* Preserve HTTP header casing. (Pull #1338, encode/httpcore#216, python-hyper/h11#104)
219* Drop `response.next()` and `response.anext()` methods in favour of `response.next_request` attribute. (Pull #1339)
220* Closed clients now raise a runtime error if attempting to send a request. (Pull #1346)
221
222### Added
223
224* Add Python 3.9 to officially supported versions.
225* Type annotate `__enter__`/`__exit__`/`__aenter__`/`__aexit__` in a way that supports subclasses of `Client` and `AsyncClient`. (Pull #1336)
226
227## 0.15.5 (October 1st, 2020)
228
229### Added
230
231* Add `response.next_request` (Pull #1334)
232
233## 0.15.4 (September 25th, 2020)
234
235### Added
236
237* Support direct comparisons between `Headers` and dicts or lists of two-tuples. Eg. `assert response.headers == {"Content-Length": 24}` (Pull #1326)
238
239### Fixed
240
241* Fix automatic `.read()` when `Response` instances are created with `content=<str>` (Pull #1324)
242
243## 0.15.3 (September 24th, 2020)
244
245### Fixed
246
247* Fixed connection leak in async client due to improper closing of response streams. (Pull #1316)
248
249## 0.15.2 (September 23nd, 2020)
250
251### Fixed
252
253* Fixed `response.elapsed` property. (Pull #1313)
254* Fixed client authentication interaction with `.stream()`. (Pull #1312)
255
256## 0.15.1 (September 23nd, 2020)
257
258### Fixed
259
260* ASGITransport now properly applies URL decoding to the `path` component, as-per the ASGI spec. (Pull #1307)
261
262## 0.15.0 (September 22nd, 2020)
263
264### Added
265
266* Added support for curio. (Pull https://github.com/encode/httpcore/pull/168)
267* Added support for event hooks. (Pull #1246)
268* Added support for authentication flows which require either sync or async I/O. (Pull #1217)
269* Added support for monitoring download progress with `response.num_bytes_downloaded`. (Pull #1268)
270* Added `Request(content=...)` for byte content, instead of overloading `Request(data=...)` (Pull #1266)
271* Added support for all URL components as parameter names when using `url.copy_with(...)`. (Pull #1285)
272* Neater split between automatically populated headers on `Request` instances, vs default `client.headers`. (Pull #1248)
273* Unclosed `AsyncClient` instances will now raise warnings if garbage collected. (Pull #1197)
274* Support `Response(content=..., text=..., html=..., json=...)` for creating usable response instances in code. (Pull #1265, #1297)
275* Support instantiating requests from the low-level transport API. (Pull #1293)
276* Raise errors on invalid URL types. (Pull #1259)
277
278### Changed
279
280* Cleaned up expected behaviour for URL escaping. `url.path` is now URL escaped. (Pull #1285)
281* Cleaned up expected behaviour for bytes vs str in URL components. `url.userinfo` and `url.query` are not URL escaped, and so return bytes. (Pull #1285)
282* Drop `url.authority` property in favour of `url.netloc`, since "authority" was semantically incorrect. (Pull #1285)
283* Drop `url.full_path` property in favour of `url.raw_path`, for better consistency with other parts of the API. (Pull #1285)
284* No longer use the `chardet` library for auto-detecting charsets, instead defaulting to a simpler approach when no charset is specified. (#1269)
285
286### Fixed
287
288* Swapped ordering of redirects and authentication flow. (Pull #1267)
289* `.netrc` lookups should use host, not host+port. (Pull #1298)
290
291### Removed
292
293* The `URLLib3Transport` class no longer exists. We've published it instead as an example of [a custom transport class](https://gist.github.com/florimondmanca/d56764d78d748eb9f73165da388e546e). (Pull #1182)
294* Drop `request.timer` attribute, which was being used internally to set `response.elapsed`. (Pull #1249)
295* Drop `response.decoder` attribute, which was being used internally. (Pull #1276)
296* `Request.prepare()` is now a private method. (Pull #1284)
297* The `Headers.getlist()` method had previously been deprecated in favour of `Headers.get_list()`. It is now fully removed.
298* The `QueryParams.getlist()` method had previously been deprecated in favour of `QueryParams.get_list()`. It is now fully removed.
299* The `URL.is_ssl` property had previously been deprecated in favour of `URL.scheme == "https"`. It is now fully removed.
300* The `httpx.PoolLimits` class had previously been deprecated in favour of `httpx.Limits`. It is now fully removed.
301* The `max_keepalive` setting had previously been deprecated in favour of the more explicit `max_keepalive_connections`. It is now fully removed.
302* The verbose `httpx.Timeout(5.0, connect_timeout=60.0)` style had previously been deprecated in favour of `httpx.Timeout(5.0, connect=60.0)`. It is now fully removed.
303* Support for instantiating a timeout config missing some defaults, such as `httpx.Timeout(connect=60.0)`, had previously been deprecated in favour of enforcing a more explicit style, such as `httpx.Timeout(5.0, connect=60.0)`. This is now strictly enforced.
304
305## 0.14.3 (September 2nd, 2020)
306
307### Added
308
309* `http.Response()` may now be instantiated without a `request=...` parameter. Useful for some unit testing cases. (Pull #1238)
310* Add `103 Early Hints` and `425 Too Early` status codes. (Pull #1244)
311
312### Fixed
313
314* `DigestAuth` now handles responses that include multiple 'WWW-Authenticate' headers. (Pull #1240)
315* Call into transport `__enter__`/`__exit__` or `__aenter__`/`__aexit__` when client is used in a context manager style. (Pull #1218)
316
317## 0.14.2 (August 24th, 2020)
318
319### Added
320
321* Support `client.get(..., auth=None)` to bypass the default authentication on a clients. (Pull #1115)
322* Support `client.auth = ...` property setter. (Pull #1185)
323* Support `httpx.get(..., proxies=...)` on top-level request functions. (Pull #1198)
324* Display instances with nicer import styles. (Eg. <httpx.ReadTimeout ...>) (Pull #1155)
325* Support `cookies=[(key, value)]` list-of-two-tuples style usage. (Pull #1211)
326
327### Fixed
328
329* Ensure that automatically included headers on a request may be modified. (Pull #1205)
330* Allow explicit `Content-Length` header on streaming requests. (Pull #1170)
331* Handle URL quoted usernames and passwords properly. (Pull #1159)
332* Use more consistent default for `HEAD` requests, setting `allow_redirects=True`. (Pull #1183)
333* If a transport error occurs while streaming the response, raise an `httpx` exception, not the underlying `httpcore` exception. (Pull #1190)
334* Include the underlying `httpcore` traceback, when transport exceptions occur. (Pull #1199)
335
336## 0.14.1 (August 11th, 2020)
337
338### Added
339
340* The `httpx.URL(...)` class now raises `httpx.InvalidURL` on invalid URLs, rather than exposing the underlying `rfc3986` exception. If a redirect response includes an invalid 'Location' header, then a `RemoteProtocolError` exception is raised, which will be associated with the request that caused it. (Pull #1163)
341
342### Fixed
343
344* Handling multiple `Set-Cookie` headers became broken in the 0.14.0 release, and is now resolved. (Pull #1156)
345
346## 0.14.0 (August 7th, 2020)
347
348The 0.14 release includes a range of improvements to the public API, intended on preparing for our upcoming 1.0 release.
349
350* Our HTTP/2 support is now fully optional. **You now need to use `pip install httpx[http2]` if you want to include the HTTP/2 dependancies.**
351* Our HSTS support has now been removed. Rewriting URLs from `http` to `https` if the host is on the HSTS list can be beneficial in avoiding roundtrips to incorrectly formed URLs, but on balance we've decided to remove this feature, on the principle of least surprise. Most programmatic clients do not include HSTS support, and for now we're opting to remove our support for it.
352* Our exception hierarchy has been overhauled. Most users will want to stick with their existing `httpx.HTTPError` usage, but we've got a clearer overall structure now. See https://www.python-httpx.org/exceptions/ for more details.
353
354When upgrading you should be aware of the following public API changes. Note that deprecated usages will currently continue to function, but will issue warnings.
355
356* You should now use `httpx.codes` consistently instead of `httpx.StatusCodes`.
357* Usage of `httpx.Timeout()` should now always include an explicit default. Eg. `httpx.Timeout(None, pool=5.0)`.
358* When using `httpx.Timeout()`, we now have more concisely named keyword arguments. Eg. `read=5.0`, instead of `read_timeout=5.0`.
359* Use `httpx.Limits()` instead of `httpx.PoolLimits()`, and `limits=...` instead of `pool_limits=...`.
360* The `httpx.Limits(max_keepalive=...)` argument is now deprecated in favour of a more explicit `httpx.Limits(max_keepalive_connections=...)`.
361* Keys used with `Client(proxies={...})` should now be in the style of `{"http://": ...}`, rather than `{"http": ...}`.
362* The multidict methods `Headers.getlist()` and `QueryParams.getlist()` are deprecated in favour of more consistent `.get_list()` variants.
363* The `URL.is_ssl` property is deprecated in favour of `URL.scheme == "https"`.
364* The `URL.join(relative_url=...)` method is now `URL.join(url=...)`. This change does not support warnings for the deprecated usage style.
365
366One notable aspect of the 0.14.0 release is that it tightens up the public API for `httpx`, by ensuring that several internal attributes and methods have now become strictly private.
367
368The following previously had nominally public names on the client, but were all undocumented and intended solely for internal usage. They are all now replaced with underscored names, and should not be relied on or accessed.
369
370These changes should not affect users who have been working from the `httpx` documentation.
371
372* `.merge_url()`, `.merge_headers()`, `.merge_cookies()`, `.merge_queryparams()`
373* `.build_auth()`, `.build_redirect_request()`
374* `.redirect_method()`, `.redirect_url()`, `.redirect_headers()`, `.redirect_stream()`
375* `.send_handling_redirects()`, `.send_handling_auth()`, `.send_single_request()`
376* `.init_transport()`, `.init_proxy_transport()`
377* `.proxies`, `.transport`, `.netrc`, `.get_proxy_map()`
378
379See pull requests #997, #1065, #1071.
380
381Some areas of API which were already on the deprecation path, and were raising warnings or errors in 0.13.x have now been escalated to being fully removed.
382
383* Drop `ASGIDispatch`, `WSGIDispatch`, which have been replaced by `ASGITransport`, `WSGITransport`.
384* Drop `dispatch=...`` on client, which has been replaced by `transport=...``
385* Drop `soft_limit`, `hard_limit`, which have been replaced by `max_keepalive` and `max_connections`.
386* Drop `Response.stream` and` `Response.raw`, which have been replaced by ``.aiter_bytes` and `.aiter_raw`.
387* Drop `proxies=<transport instance>` in favor of `proxies=httpx.Proxy(...)`.

391### Added
392
393* Added dedicated exception class `httpx.HTTPStatusError` for `.raise_for_status()` exceptions. (Pull #1072)
394* Added `httpx.create_ssl_context()` helper function. (Pull #996)

397
398### Changed
399
400* Use `httpx.codes` consistently in favour of `httpx.StatusCodes` which is placed into deprecation. (Pull #1088)
401* Usage of `httpx.Timeout()` should now always include an explicit default. Eg. `httpx.Timeout(None, pool=5.0)`. (Pull #1085)
402* Switch to more concise `httpx.Timeout()` keyword arguments. Eg. `read=5.0`, instead of `read_timeout=5.0`. (Pull #1111)
403* Use `httpx.Limits()` instead of `httpx.PoolLimits()`, and `limits=...` instead of `pool_limits=...`. (Pull #1113)
404* Keys used with `Client(proxies={...})` should now be in the style of `{"http://": ...}`, rather than `{"http": ...}`. (Pull #1127)
405* The multidict methods `Headers.getlist` and `QueryParams.getlist` are deprecated in favour of more consistent `.get_list()` variants. (Pull #1089)
406* `URL.port` becomes `Optional[int]`. Now only returns a port if one is explicitly included in the URL string. (Pull #1080)
407* The `URL(..., allow_relative=[bool])` parameter no longer exists. All URL instances may be relative. (Pull #1073)
408* Drop unnecessary `url.full_path = ...` property setter. (Pull #1069)
409* The `URL.join(relative_url=...)` method is now `URL.join(url=...)`. (Pull #1129)

426## 0.13.3 (May 29th, 2020)
427
428### Fixed

436
437* Include explicit "Content-Length: 0" on POST, PUT, PATCH if no request body is used. (Pull #995)
438* Add `http2` option to `httpx.Client`. (Pull #982)

440
441## 0.13.1 (May 22nd, 2020)
442
443### Fixed
444
445* Fix pool options deprecation warning. (Pull #980)
446* Include `httpx.URLLib3ProxyTransport` in top-level API. (Pull #979)
447
448## 0.13.0 (May 22nd, 2020)
449
450This release switches to `httpcore` for all the internal networking, which means:
451
452* We're using the same codebase for both our sync and async clients.
453* HTTP/2 support is now available with the sync client.
454* We no longer have a `urllib3` dependency for our sync client, although there is still an *optional* `URLLib3Transport` class.
455
456It also means we've had to remove our UDS support, since maintaining that would have meant having to push back our work towards a 1.0 release, which isn't a trade-off we wanted to make.
457
458We also now have [a public "Transport API"](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/#custom-transports), which you can use to implement custom transport implementations against. This formalises and replaces our previously private "Dispatch API".
459
460### Changed
461
462* Use `httpcore` for underlying HTTP transport. Drop `urllib3` requirement. (Pull #804, #967)
463* Rename pool limit options from `soft_limit`/`hard_limit` to `max_keepalive`/`max_connections`. (Pull #968)
464* The previous private "Dispatch API" has now been promoted to a public "Transport API". When customizing the transport use `transport=...`. The `ASGIDispatch` and `WSGIDispatch` class naming is deprecated in favour of `ASGITransport` and `WSGITransport`. (Pull #963)
465
466### Added
467
468* Added `URLLib3Transport` class for optional `urllib3` transport support. (Pull #804, #963)
469* Streaming multipart uploads. (Pull #857)
470* Logging via HTTPCORE_LOG_LEVEL and HTTPX_LOG_LEVEL environment variables
471and TRACE level logging. (Pull encode/httpcore#79)
472
473### Fixed
474
475* Performance improvement in brotli decoder. (Pull #906)
476* Proper warning level of deprecation notice in `Response.stream` and `Response.raw`. (Pull #908)
477* Fix support for generator based WSGI apps. (Pull #887)
478* Reuse of connections on HTTP/2 in close concurrency situations. (Pull encode/httpcore#81)
479* Honor HTTP/2 max concurrent streams settings (Pull encode/httpcore#89, encode/httpcore#90)
480* Fix bytes support in multipart uploads. (Pull #974)
481* Improve typing support for `files=...`. (Pull #976)

490
491### Added
492
493* Logging via HTTPCORE_LOG_LEVEL and HTTPX_LOG_LEVEL environment variables
494and TRACE level logging. (HTTPCore Pull #79)
495
496### Fixed
497
498* Reuse of connections on HTTP/2 in close concurrency situations. (HTTPCore Pull #81)
499* When using an `app=<ASGI app>` observe neater disconnect behaviour instead of sending empty body messages. (Pull #919)
500
501## 0.13.0.dev1 (May 6th, 2020)
502
503The 0.13.0.dev1 is a *pre-release* version. To install it, use `pip install httpx --pre`.
504
505### Fixed
506
507* Passing `http2` flag to proxy dispatchers. (Pull #934)
508* Use [`httpcore` v0.8.3](https://github.com/encode/httpcore/releases/tag/0.8.3)
509which addresses problems in handling of headers when using proxies.
510
511## 0.13.0.dev0 (April 30th, 2020)
512
513The 0.13.0.dev0 is a *pre-release* version. To install it, use `pip install httpx --pre`.
514
515This release switches to `httpcore` for all the internal networking, which means:
516
517* We're using the same codebase for both our sync and async clients.
518* HTTP/2 support is now available with the sync client.
519* We no longer have a `urllib3` dependency for our sync client, although there is still an *optional* `URLLib3Dispatcher` class.
520
521It also means we've had to remove our UDS support, since maintaining that would have meant having to push back our work towards a 1.0 release, which isn't a trade-off we wanted to make.

544## 0.12.1 (March 19th, 2020)
545
546### Fixed
547
548* Resolved packaging issue, where additional files were being included.
549
550## 0.12.0 (March 9th, 2020)
551
552The 0.12 release tightens up the API expectations for `httpx` by switching to private module names to enforce better clarity around public API.
553
554All imports of `httpx` should import from the top-level package only, such as `from httpx import Request`, rather than importing from privately namespaced modules such as `from httpx._models import Request`.
555
556### Added
557
558* Support making response body available to auth classes with `.requires_response_body`. (Pull #803)
559* Export `NetworkError` exception. (Pull #814)
560* Add support for `NO_PROXY` environment variable. (Pull #835)
561
562### Changed
563
564* Switched to private module names. (Pull #785)
565* Drop redirect looping detection and the `RedirectLoop` exception, instead using `TooManyRedirects`. (Pull #819)
566* Drop `backend=...` parameter on `AsyncClient`, in favour of always autodetecting `trio`/`asyncio`. (Pull #791)
567
568### Fixed
569
570* Support basic auth credentials in proxy URLs. (Pull #780)
571* Fix `httpx.Proxy(url, mode="FORWARD_ONLY")` configuration. (Pull #788)
572* Fallback to setting headers as UTF-8 if no encoding is specified. (Pull #820)
573* Close proxy dispatches classes on client close. (Pull #826)
574* Support custom `cert` parameters even if `verify=False`. (Pull #796)
575* Don't support invalid dict-of-dicts form data in `data=...`. (Pull #811)
576
577---
578
579## 0.11.1 (January 17th, 2020)
580
581### Fixed
582
583* Fixed usage of `proxies=...` on `Client()`. (Pull #763)
584* Support both `zlib` and `deflate` style encodings on `Content-Encoding: deflate`. (Pull #758)
585* Fix for streaming a redirect response body with `allow_redirects=False`. (Pull #766)
586* Handle redirect with malformed Location headers missing host. (Pull #774)
587
588## 0.11.0 (January 9th, 2020)
589
590The 0.11 release reintroduces our sync support, so that `httpx` now supports both a standard thread-concurrency API, and an async API.
591
592Existing async `httpx` users that are upgrading to 0.11 should ensure that:
593
594* Async codebases should always use a client instance to make requests, instead of the top-level API.
595* The async client is named as `httpx.AsyncClient()`, instead of `httpx.Client()`.
596* When instantiating proxy configurations use the `httpx.Proxy()` class, instead of the previous `httpx.HTTPProxy()`. This new configuration class works for configuring both sync and async clients.
597
598We believe the API is now pretty much stable, and are aiming for a 1.0 release sometime on or before April 2020.
599
600### Changed
601
602- Top level API such as `httpx.get(url, ...)`, `httpx.post(url, ...)`, `httpx.request(method, url, ...)` becomes synchronous.
603- Added `httpx.Client()` for synchronous clients, with `httpx.AsyncClient` being used for async clients.
604- Switched to `proxies=httpx.Proxy(...)` for proxy configuration.
605- Network connection errors are wrapped in `httpx.NetworkError`, rather than exposing lower-level exception types directly.
606
607### Removed
608
609- The `request.url.origin` property and `httpx.Origin` class are no longer available.
610- The per-request `cert`, `verify`, and `trust_env` arguments are escalated from raising errors if used, to no longer being available. These arguments should be used on a per-client instance instead, or in the top-level API.
611- The `stream` argument has escalated from raising an error when used, to no longer being available. Use the `client.stream(...)` or `httpx.stream()` streaming API instead.
612
613### Fixed
614
615- Redirect loop detection matches against `(method, url)` rather than `url`. (Pull #734)
616
617---
618
619## 0.10.1 (December 31st, 2019)
620
621### Fixed
622
623- Fix issue with concurrent connection acquiry. (Pull #700)
624- Fix write error on closing HTTP/2 connections. (Pull #699)
625
626## 0.10.0 (December 29th, 2019)
627
628The 0.10.0 release makes some changes that will allow us to support both sync and async interfaces.
629
630In particular with streaming responses the `response.read()` method becomes `response.aread()`, and the `response.close()` method becomes `response.aclose()`.
631
632If following redirects explicitly the `response.next()` method becomes `response.anext()`.
633
634### Fixed
635
636- End HTTP/2 streams immediately on no-body requests, rather than sending an empty body message. (Pull #682)
637- Improve typing for `Response.request`: switch from `Optional[Request]` to `Request`. (Pull #666)
638- `Response.elapsed` now reflects the entire download time. (Pull #687, #692)
639
640### Changed
641
642- Added `AsyncClient` as a synonym for `Client`. (Pull #680)
643- Switch to `response.aread()` for conditionally reading streaming responses. (Pull #674)
644- Switch to `response.aclose()` and `client.aclose()` for explicit closing. (Pull #674, #675)
645- Switch to `response.anext()` for resolving the next redirect response. (Pull #676)
646
647### Removed
648
649- When using a client instance, the per-request usage of `verify`, `cert`, and `trust_env` have now escalated from raising a warning to raising an error. You should set these arguments on the client instead. (Pull #617)
650- Removed the undocumented `request.read()`, since end users should not require it.
651
652---
653
654## 0.9.5 (December 20th, 2019)
655
656### Fixed
657
658- Fix Host header and HSTS rewrites when an explicit `:80` port is included in URL. (Pull #649)
659- Query Params on the URL string are merged with any `params=...` argument. (Pull #653)
660- More robust behavior when closing connections. (Pull #640)
661- More robust behavior when handling HTTP/2 headers with trailing whitespace. (Pull #637)
662- Allow any explicit `Content-Type` header to take precedence over the encoding default. (Pull #633)
663
664## 0.9.4 (December 12th, 2019)
665
666### Fixed
667
668- Added expiry to Keep-Alive connections, resolving issues with acquiring connections. (Pull #627)

678
679* Released due to packaging build artifact.
680
681## 0.9.1 (December 6th, 2019)
682
683* Released due to packaging build artifact.
684
685## 0.9.0 (December 6th, 2019)
686
687The 0.9 releases brings some major new features, including:
688
689* A new streaming API.
690* Autodetection of either asyncio or trio.
691* Nicer timeout configuration.
692* HTTP/2 support off by default, but can be enabled.
693
694We've also removed all private types from the top-level package export.
695
696In order to ensure you are only ever working with public API you should make
697sure to only import the top-level package eg. `import httpx`, rather than
698importing modules within the package.
699
700### Added
701
702- Added concurrency backend autodetection. (Pull #585)
703- Added `Client(backend='trio')` and `Client(backend='asyncio')` API. (Pull #585)
704- Added `response.stream_lines()` API. (Pull #575)
705- Added `response.is_error` API. (Pull #574)
706- Added support for `timeout=Timeout(5.0, connect_timeout=60.0)` styles. (Pull #593)
707
708### Fixed
709
710- Requests or Clients with `timeout=None` now correctly always disable timeouts. (Pull #592)
711- Request 'Authorization' headers now have priority over `.netrc` authentication info. (Commit 095b691)
712- Files without a filename no longer set a Content-Type in multipart data. (Commit ed94950)
713
714### Changed
715
716- Added `httpx.stream()` API. Using `stream=True` now results in a warning. (Pull #600, #610)
717- HTTP/2 support is switched to "off by default", but can be enabled explicitly. (Pull #584)
718- Switched to `Client(http2=True)` API from `Client(http_versions=["HTTP/1.1", "HTTP/2"])`. (Pull #586)
719- Removed all private types from the top-level package export. (Pull #608)
720- The SSL configuration settings of `verify`, `cert`, and `trust_env` now raise warnings if used per-request when using a Client instance. They should always be set on the Client instance itself. (Pull #597)
721- Use plain strings "TUNNEL_ONLY" or "FORWARD_ONLY" on the HTTPProxy `proxy_mode` argument. The `HTTPProxyMode` enum still exists, but its usage will raise warnings. (#610)
722- Pool timeouts are now on the timeout configuration, not the pool limits configuration. (Pull #563)
723- The timeout configuration is now named `httpx.Timeout(...)`, not `httpx.TimeoutConfig(...)`. The old version currently remains as a synonym for backwards compatability.  (Pull #591)
724
