encode Release Notes

0.28.0 (28th November, 2024)

The 0.28 release includes a limited set of deprecations.

Deprecations

We are working towards a simplified SSL configuration API.

For users of the standard verify=True or verify=False cases, or verify=<ssl_context> case this should require no changes. The following cases have been deprecated...

The verify argument as a string argument is now deprecated and will raise warnings.

The cert argument is now deprecated and will raise warnings.

Our revised SSL documentation covers how to implement the same behaviour with a more constrained API.

The following changes are also included:

The deprecated proxies argument has now been removed.

The deprecated app argument has now been removed.

• JSON request bodies use a compact representation. (#3363)
• Review URL percent escape sets, based on WHATWG spec. (#3371, #3373)
• Ensure certifi and httpcore are only imported if required. (#3377)
• Treat socks5h as a valid proxy scheme. (#3178)
• Cleanup Request() method signature in line with client.request() and httpx.request(). (#3378)
• Bugfix: When passing params={}, always strictly update rather than merge with an existing querystring. (#3364)

0.26.0 (20th December, 2023)

Added

The proxy argument was added. You should use the proxy argument instead of the deprecated proxies, or use mounts= for more complex configurations. (#2879)

Deprecated

The proxies argument is now deprecated. It will still continue to work, but it will be removed in the future. (#2879)

Fixed

Fix cases of double escaping of URL path components. Allow / as a safe character in the query portion. (#2990)

Handle NO_PROXY envvar cases when a fully qualified URL is supplied as the value. (#2741)

Allow URLs where username or password contains unescaped '@'. (#2986)

Ensure ASGI raw_path does not include URL query component. (#2999)
