- update to 4.2.0:
* Add support for byte-based paths in connect_unix,
create_unix_listeners, create_unix_datagram_socket, and
create_connected_unix_datagram_socket. (PR by Lura Skye)
* Enabled the Event and CapacityLimiter classes to be
instantiated outside an event loop thread
* Broadly improved/fixed the type annotations. Among other
things, many functions and methods that take variadic
positional arguments now make use of PEP 646 TypeVarTuple to
allow the positional arguments to be validated by static type
checkers. These changes affected numerous methods and
functions, including: * anyio.run() * TaskGroup.start_soon()
* anyio.from_thread.run() * anyio.from_thread.run_sync() *
anyio.to_thread.run_sync() * anyio.to_process.run_sync() *
BlockingPortal.call() * BlockingPortal.start_task_soon() *
BlockingPortal.start_task() (also resolves #560)
* Fixed various type annotations of anyio.Path to match
Typeshed: * anyio.Path.__lt__() * anyio.Path.__le__() *
anyio.Path.__gt__() * anyio.Path.__ge__() *
anyio.Path.__truediv__() * anyio.Path.__rtruediv__() *
anyio.Path.hardlink_to() * anyio.Path.samefile() *
anyio.Path.symlink_to() * anyio.Path.with_segments() (PR by
Ganden Schaffner)
* Fixed adjusting the total number of tokens in a
CapacityLimiter on asyncio failing to wake up tasks waiting
to acquire the limiter in certain edge cases (fixed with help
from Egor Blagov)
* Fixed loop_factory and use_uvloop options not being used on
the asyncio backend
* Fixed cancellation propagating on asyncio from a task group
