- Update to 4.0.1:
* Overview
+ CPython 3.11 - 3.13 is now fully supported.
+ End-of-life Python 3.5, 3.6 & 3.7 are no longer supported.
+ End-of-life Python 3.8 is no longer actively supported.
+ Type checking support was introduced.
+ Falcon is no longer vendoring the python-mimeparse library.
+ A number of undocumented internal helpers were renamed to start with an
underscore.
+ A number of previously deprecated methods, attributes and classes have
now been removed.
+ We decided, on the other hand, to keep the deprecated falcon.API alias
until Falcon 5.0.
+ The deprecated api_helpers was removed in favor of the app_helpers
module.
+ The function falcon.http_date_to_dt now validates HTTP dates to have
the correct timezone set. It now also returns timezone-aware
datetime.datetime objects.
+ setup.cfg was dropped in favor of consolidating all static project
configuration in pyproject.toml
* New & Improved
+ A new path converter falcon.routing.PathConverter
capable of matching segments that include / was added.
+ Similar to the existing falcon.routing.IntConverter, a new
falcon.routing.FloatConverter has been added, allowing to convert
path segments to float.
+ A new method falcon.Request.get_header_as_int was implemented.
+ A new property, falcon.Request.headers_lower, was added to provide a
unified, self-documenting way to get a copy of all request headers with
lowercase names to facilitate case-insensitive matching.
