3.8.5

Security bugfixes

• Upgraded the vendored copy of llhttp_ to v8.1.1 -- by :user:webknjaz
  and :user:Dreamsorcerer.

  Thanks to :user:sethmlarson for reporting this and providing us with
  comprehensive reproducer, workarounds and fixing details! For more
  information, see
  GHSA-45c4-8wx5-qw6w.

  (#7346)

Features

• Added information to C parser exceptions to show which character caused the error. -- by :user:Dreamsorcerer

  (#7366)

Bugfixes

• Fixed a transport is :data:None error -- by :user:Dreamsorcerer.

  (#3355)

3.8.4

Bugfixes

• Fixed incorrectly overwriting cookies with the same name and domain, but different path.
  (#6638)
• Fixed ConnectionResetError not being raised after client disconnection in SSL environments.
  (#7180)

---

3.8.3

.. attention::

This is the last :doc:aiohttp <index> release tested under
Python 3.6. The 3.9 stream is dropping it from the CI and the
distribution package metadata.

Bugfixes

• Increased the upper boundary of the :doc:multidict:index dependency
  to allow for the version 6 -- by :user:hugovk.

  It used to be limited below version 7 in :doc:aiohttp <index> v3.8.1 but
  was lowered in v3.8.2 via :pr:6550 and never brought back, causing
  problems with dependency pins when upgrading. :doc:aiohttp <index> v3.8.3
  fixes that by recovering the original boundary of < 7.
  (#6950)

3.8.2 (2022-09-20, subsequently yanked on 2022-09-21)

.. note::

This release has some compatibility fixes for Python 3.11 but it may
still have some quirks. Some tests are still flaky in the CI.

.. caution::

This release has been yanked from PyPI. Modern pip will not pick it
up automatically. The reason is that is has multidict < 6 set in
the distribution package metadata (see :pr:6950). Please, use
aiohttp ~= 3.8.3, != 3.8.1 instead, if you can.

v3.8.1

Bugfixes

• Fix the error in handling the return value of getaddrinfo.
  getaddrinfo will return an (int, bytes) tuple, if CPython could not handle the address family.
  It will cause a index out of range error in aiohttp. For example, if user compile CPython with
  --disable-ipv6 option but his system enable the ipv6.

v3.8.0b0

Features

• Added a GunicornWebWorker feature for extending the aiohttp server configuration by allowing the 'wsgi' coroutine to return web.AppRunner object.
  (#2988)_

• Switch from http-parser to llhttp
  (#3561)_

• Use Brotli instead of brotlipy
  (#3803)_

• Disable implicit switch-back to pure python mode. The build fails loudly if aiohttp
  cannot be compiled with C Accelerators. Use AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS=1 to explicitly
  disable C Extensions complication and switch to Pure-Python mode. Note that Pure-Python
  mode is significantly slower than compiled one.
  (#3828)_

• Make access log use local time with timezone
  (#3853)_

• Implemented readuntil in StreamResponse
  (#4054)_

• FileResponse now supports ETag.
  (#4594)_

• Add a request handler type alias aiohttp.typedefs.Handler.
  (#4686)_

• AioHTTPTestCase is more async friendly now.

  For people who use unittest and are used to use :py:exc:~unittest.TestCase
  it will be easier to write new test cases like the sync version of the :py:exc:~unittest.TestCase class,
  without using the decorator @unittest_run_loop, just async def test_*.
  The only difference is that for the people using python3.7 and below a new dependency is needed, it is asynctestcase.
  (#4700)_

• Add validation of HTTP header keys and values to prevent header injection.
  (#4818)_

• Add predicate to AbstractCookieJar.clear.
  Add AbstractCookieJar.clear_domain to clean all domain and subdomains cookies only.
  (#4942)_

• Add keepalive_timeout parameter to web.run_app.
  (#5094)_

• Tracing for client sent headers
  (#5105)_

• Make type hints for http parser stricter
  (#5267)_

• Add final declarations for constants.
  (#5275)_

• Switch to external frozenlist and aiosignal libraries.
  (#5293)_

• Don't send secure cookies by insecure transports.

  By default, the transport is secure if https or wss scheme is used.
  Use CookieJar(treat_as_secure_origin="http://127.0.0.1") to override the default security checker.
  (#5571)_

• Always create a new event loop in aiohttp.web.run_app().
  This adds better compatibility with asyncio.run() or if trying to run multiple apps in sequence.
  (#5572)_

• Add aiohttp.pytest_plugin.AiohttpClient for static typing of pytest plugin.
  (#5585)_

• Added a socket_factory argument to BaseTestServer.
  (#5844)_

  (#5909)_

• Added support for Python 3.10 to Github Actions CI/CD workflows and fix the related deprecation warnings -- :user:Hanaasagi.
  (#5927)_

• Switched chardet to charset-normalizer for guessing the HTTP payload body encoding -- :user:Ousret.
  (#5930)_

• Added optional auto_decompress argument for HttpRequestParser
  (#5957)_

• Added support for HTTPS proxies to the extent CPython's
  :py:mod:asyncio supports it -- by :user:bmbouter,
  :user:jborean93 and :user:webknjaz.
  (#5992)_

• Added base_url parameter to the initializer of :class:~aiohttp.ClientSession.
  (#6013)_

  (#6139)_

• Started shipping platform-specific arm64 wheels for Apple Silicon — :user:asvetlov.
  (#6139)_

Bugfixes

• Modify drain_helper() to handle concurrent await resp.write(...) or ws.send_json(...) calls without race-condition.
  (#2934)
• Started using MultiLoopChildWatcher when it's available under POSIX while setting up the test I/O loop.
  (#3450)_
• Only encode content-disposition filename parameter using percent-encoding.
  Other parameters are encoded to quoted-string or RFC2231 extended parameter
  value.
  (#4012)_
• Fixed HTTP client requests to honor no_proxy environment variables.
  (#4431)_
• Change return type on URLDispatcher to UrlMappingMatchInfo to improve type annotations.
  (#4748)_

  (#5403)_
• Include query parameters from params keyword argument in tracing URL.
  (#5432)_
• Fix annotations
  (#5466)_
• Fixed the multipart POST requests processing to always release file
  descriptors for the tempfile.Temporaryfile-created
  _io.BufferedRandom instances of files sent within multipart request
  bodies via HTTP POST requests -- by :user:webknjaz.
  (#5494)_
• Fix 0 being incorrectly treated as an immediate timeout.
  (#5527)_
• Replace deprecated app handler design in tests/autobahn/server.py with call to web.run_app; replace deprecated aiohttp.ws_connect calls in tests/autobahn/client.py with aiohttp.ClienSession.ws_connect.
  (#5606)_
• Fixed test for HTTPUnauthorized that access the text argument. This is not used in any part of the code, so it's removed now.

  (#5877)_
• Fix the error in handling the return value of getaddrinfo.
  getaddrinfo will return an (int, bytes) tuple, if CPython could not handle the address family.
  It will cause a index out of range error in aiohttp. For example, if user compile CPython with
  --disable-ipv6 option but his system enable the ipv6.
  (#5901)_
• Removed the deprecated loop argument from the asyncio.sleep/gather calls
  (#5905)_
• Return None from request.if_modified_since, request.if_unmodified_since, request.if_range and response.last_modified when corresponding http date headers are invalid.
  (#5925)_
• Fix resetting SIGCHLD signals in Gunicorn aiohttp Worker to fix subprocesses that capture output having an incorrect returncode.
  (#6130)_

  (#6182)_

Improved Documentation

• Refactored OpenAPI/Swagger aiohttp addons, added aio-openapi
