This release contains enhancements to media handling, serving static files, and a fix for the WebSockets-sink interaction, alongside performance optimizations and full support for CPython 3.14.

🐍 Falcon 4.1.0 on PyPI
📚 Changelog on RtD

During this release cycle, we have migrated to publishing to PyPI with a Trusted Publisher (thanks to @​webknjaz for helping to iron out the workflow details).

For those relying on other package distribution channels than PyPI, we have prepared a brand new Packaging Guide for Falcon. Please check it out and let us know what you think! Additionally, we have formalized our security maintenance policy as well as the status of stable releases: Releases and Versioning.

This release also incorporates many pull requests submitted by our community. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all 17 contributors who made this release possible!

v4.0.2

Compare Source

Falcon 4.0.2 is a minor point release (following the major Falcon 4.0.0 release, and Falcon 4.0.1 bugfix) to fix some missed re-exports for type checkers. In addition, we have also included a couple of documentation improvements.

🐍 Falcon 4.0.2 on PyPI

Fixed

Running Mypy on code that uses parts of falcon.testing would previously lead to errors like:

Name "falcon.testing.TestClient" is not defined

This has been fixed by explicitly exporting the names that are imported into the falcon.testing namespace. (#​2387)

Misc

The printable PDF version of our documentation was enabled on Read the Docs. (#​2365)

v4.0.1

Compare Source

Falcon 4.0.1 is a minor point release addressing a Python distribution issue in Falcon 4.0.0.

Fixed

Installing Falcon 4.0.0 unexpectedly copies many unintended directories from the source tree to the venv’s site-packages. This issue has been rectified, and our CI has been extended with new tests (that verify what is actually installed from the distribution) to make sure this regression does not resurface. (#​2384)

v4.0.0

Compare Source

We are happy to present Falcon 4.0, a new major version of the framework that brings a couple of commonly requested features including support for matching multiple path segments (using PathConverter), and a fully typed codebase. (Please read more about typing in the notes on RtD.)

🐍 Falcon 4.0.0 on PyPI
📚 Changelog on RtD

The timeframe for Falcon 4.0 was challenging due to the need to balance our high standards with the CPython 3.13 timeline. We aimed to deliver the main development branch in this release, without resorting to another compatibility micro update (as we did with Falcon 3.1.1-3.1.3). Following community feedback, we also want to improve our overall release schedule by shipping smaller increments more often. To support this goal, we have made several tooling and testing improvements: the build process for binary wheels has been simplified using cibuildwheel, and our test suite now only requires pytest as a hard dependency. Additionally, you can run pytest against our tests from any directory. We hope that these changes should also benefit packaging Falcon in Linux distributions.

As with every SemVer major release, we have removed a number of previously deprecated functions, classes, compatibility shims, as well as made other potentially breaking changes that we could not risk in a minor version. If you have been paying attention the deprecation warnings from the 3.x series, the impact should be minimal, but please do take a look at the list of breaking changes on RtD.

This release would not have been possible without the numerous contributions from our community. This release alone comprises a number of pull requests submitted by a group of 30 talented individuals. What is more, we were particularly impressed by the high-quality discussions and code submissions during our EuroPython 2024 Sprint. Some notable sprint contributions include CHIPS support, and a new WebSocket Tutorial, among others. In fact, according to the statistics on GitHub, we are thrilled to report that the total number of Falcon contributors has now exceeded 200. We find it fascinating that our framework has become a collaborative effort involving so many individuals, and would like to thank everyone who has made this release possible!

v3.1.3

Compare Source

Falcon 3.1.3 is a minor bugfix release that only pins the pytest-asyncio test dependency
in order to prevent an incompatible version from interfering with the build workflow.

This release is otherwise identical to Falcon 3.1.2.

v3.1.2

Compare Source

Falcon 3.1.2 is a minor point release fixing a couple of high impact bugs,
as well as publishing binary wheels for the recently released CPython 3.12.

v3.1.1

Compare Source

Falcon 3.1.1 is a minor point release addressing a couple of high impact bugs,
and enabling the framework on the recently released CPython 3.11.
