• v3.2.0 Changes

  • ➕ Added support for IPv6 (#28_)

  • ➕ Added SSH tunneling support (ssh_connect)

  • ➕ Added restricted object wrapping

  • 🛠 Several fixes to AsyncResult and weak references

  • ➕ Added the ThreadPoolServer

  • 🛠 Fixed some minor (harmless) races that caused tracebacks occasionally when server-threads terminated

  • Fixes issues #8, #41, #42, #43, #46, and #49.

  • Converted all CRLF to LF (#40_)

  • ⬇️ Dropped TLSlite integration (#45_). We've been dragging this corpse for too long.

  • 🆕 New documentation (both the website and docstrings) written in Sphinx

    • The site has moved to sourceforge <http://rpyc.sourceforge.net>_. Wikidot had served us well over the past three years, but they began displaying way too many ads and didn't support uploading files over rsync, which made my life hard.
    • New docs are part of the git repository. Updating the site is as easy as make upload

  • Python 3.0-3.2 support

• v3.1.0 Changes

  What's New ^{^}

  • 👌 Supports CPython 2.4-2.7, IronPython, and Jython

  • tlslite <http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpyc/files/tlslite>_ has been ported to python 2.5-2.7 (the original library targeted 2.3 and 2.4)

  • 🎉 Initial python 3 support -- not finished!

  • 🚚 Moves to a more conventional directory structure

  • 🚚 Moves to more standard facilities (logging, nosetests)

  • 🐎 Solves a major performance issue with the BgServingThread (#32_), by removing the contention between the two threads that share the connection

  • Fixes lots of issues concerning the ForkingServer (#3, #7, and #15_)

  • Many small bug fixes (#16, #13, #4_, etc.)

  • ↔ Integrates with the built-in ssl module for SSL support

    • rpyc_classic.py now takes several --ssl-xxx switches (see --help for more info)

  • 🛠 Fixes typos, running pylint, etc.

  Breakage from 3.0.7

  • 🏗 Removing egg builds (we're pure python, and eggs just messed up the build)

  • 📦 Package layout changed drastically, and some files were renamed

    • The servers/ directory was renamed scripts/
    • classic_server.py was renamed rpyc_classic.py
    • They scripts now install to your python scripts directory (no longer part of the package), e.g. C:\python27\Scripts

  • rpyc_classic.py now takes --register in order to register, instead of --dont-register, which was a silly choice.

  • classic.tls_connect, factory.tls_connect were renamed tlslite_connect, to distinguish it from the new ssl_connect.

• v3.0.7 Changes

  • Moving to git as source control

  • 🏗 Build script: more egg formats; register in pypi <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPyC/>_ ; remove svn; auto-generate license.py as well

  • 💄 Cosmetic touches to Connection: separate serve into _recv and dispatch

  • Shutdown socket before closing (SHUT_RDWR) to prevent TIME_WAIT and other problems with various Unixes

  • PipeStream: use low-level file APIs (os.read, os.write) to prevent stdio-level buffering that messed up select

  • 🌲 classic_server.py: open logfile for writing (was opened for reading)

  • ⏱ registry_server.py: type of timeout is now int (was str)

  • 👍 utils/server.py: better handling of sockets; fix python 2.4 syntax issue

  • 🚦 ForkingServer: re-register SIGCHLD handler after handling that signal, to support non-BSD-compliant platforms where after the invocation of the signal handler, the handler is reset

• v3.0.6 Changes

  • 🖐 Handle metaclasses better in inspect_methods

  • 💅 vinegar.py: handle old-style-class exceptions better; python 2.4 issues

  • VdbAuthenticator: when loading files, open for read only; API changes (from_dict instead of from_users), from_file accepts open-mode

  • 👍 ForkingServer: better handling of SIGCHLD

• v3.0.5 Changes

  • setup.py now also creates egg files

  • Slightly improved servers/vdbconf.py

  • 🛠 Fixes to utis/server.py:

    • The authenticator is now invoked by _accept_client, which means it is invoked on the client's context (thread or child process). This solves a problem with the forking server having a TLS authenticator.
    • Changed the forking server to handle SIGCHLD instead of using double-fork.

• v3.0.4 Changes

  • 🛠 Fix: inspect_methods used dir and getattr to inspect the given object; this caused a problem with premature activation of properties (as they are activated by getattr). Now it inspects the object's type instead, following the MRO by itself, to avoid possible side effects.

• v3.0.3 Changes

  • 🔄 Changed versioning scheme: now 3.0.3 instead of 3.03, and the version tuple is (3, 0, 3)

  • ➕ Added servers/vdbconf.py - a utility to manage verifier databases (used by tlslite)

  • ➕ Added the --vdb switch to classic_server.py, which invokes a secure server (TLS) with the given VDB file.

• v3.00 Changes

  Known Issues ^{^}

  • comparison - comparing remote and local objects will usually not work, but there's nothing to do about it.

  • 64bit platforms: since channels use 32bit length field, you can't pass data/strings over 4gb. this is not a real limitation (unless you have a super-fast local network and tons of RAM), but as 64bit python becomes the defacto standard, I will upgrade channels to 64bit length field.

  • threads - in face of no better solution, and after consulting many people, I resorted to setting a timeout on the underlying recv(). This is not an elegant way, but all other solution required rewriting all sorts of threading primitives and were not necessarily deadlock/race-free. as the zen says, "practicality beats purity".

  • 🏁 Windows - pipes supported, but Win32 pipes work like shit
