Release Notes

benoitc/gunicorn (gunicorn)

v26.0.0

Compare Source

Breaking Changes

• Eventlet worker removed: The eventlet worker class has been dropped. Migrate to gevent, gthread, or tornado.

New Features

• ASGI Framework Compatibility Suite: New end-to-end compatibility test harness covering Starlette, FastAPI, Litestar, Quart, Sanic, and BlackSheep. Current grid passes 438/444 tests (98%).
• ASGI Test Suite Expansion: 134 additional ASGI unit tests covering protocol semantics, lifespan, websockets, and chunked framing.

Security

• HTTP/1.1 Request-Target Validation (RFC 9112 sections 3.2.3, 3.2.4):
  • Reject authority-form request-target outside CONNECT
  • Reject asterisk-form request-target outside OPTIONS
  • Reject relative-reference request-targets
• Header Field Hardening (RFC 9110):
  • Reject control characters in header field-value (section 5.5)
  • Reject forbidden trailer field-names (section 6.5.1)
  • Reject Content-Length list form (RFC 9112 section 6.3)
• Request Smuggling Hardening:
  • Tighten keepalive gate and scope finish_body byte cap
  • Keep _body_receiver alive across the keepalive smuggling gate so pipelined requests cannot re-enter a closed body
  • Address parser/protocol findings from a six-point WSGI/ASGI audit
• PROXY Protocol (ASGI): Enforce proxy_allow_ips and tighten v1/v2 parsing in the ASGI callback parser.
• Connection Draining: Drain the connection on close per RFC 9112 section 9.6 to prevent reset-on-close truncation.

Bug Fixes

• Body Framing on HEAD/204/304:
  • Keep Content-Length on HEAD and 304 responses (#​3621)
  • Drop body framing on HEAD/204/304 even when the framework set it
  • Warn once when an ASGI app emits a body for a no-body response
• HTTP/2 ASGI:
  • Fix _handle_stream_ended to set _body_complete in the async HTTP/2 handler so request bodies finalize correctly on stream end
  • Add InvalidChunkExtension mapping and fast-parser support in ASGI tests (#​3565)
• HTTP/1.1 100-Continue: Stop adding Transfer-Encoding: chunked to 100-Continue interim responses.
• WebSocket Close Handshake (RFC 6455):
  • Comply with the close handshake state machine
  • Close the transport after the close handshake completes
  • Fix binary send when the text key is None
• Early Hints: Validate headers in the early_hints callback to match process_headers; pass only the header name to InvalidHeader (#​3588).
• ASGI Framework Fixes:
  • Fix ASGI disconnect handling for Django-style apps
  • Fix Litestar request handling (use raw ASGI receive for body/headers)
  • Fix Litestar HTTP endpoints for compatibility tests
  • Fix Quart headers endpoint to normalize keys to lowercase
  • Fix Quart WebSocket close test app (missing accept())
  • Fix duplicate Transfer-Encoding header for BlackSheep streaming

Refactoring

• Split BodyReceiver._closed into separate transport and body-wait flags for clearer keepalive/EOF semantics.

Changes

• Fast HTTP Parser: Require gunicorn_h1c >= 0.6.5. Drop the last python_only test markers; the C extension is now used wherever available (CPython only; PyPy continues to use the Python parser).
• Test Dependencies: Add h2 and uvloop to the testing extra; remove eventlet.
• Docker Build: Bump GitHub Actions docker/setup-qemu-action, docker/setup-buildx-action, docker/login-action, docker/build-push-action, and docker/metadata-action to current major versions.

Bug Fixes

• HTTP/2 ASGI Body Duplication: Fix request body being received twice in HTTP/2
  ASGI requests, causing JSON parsing errors with "Extra data" messages
  (#​3558)

• ASGI Chunked EOF Handling: Add finish() method to callback parser to handle
  chunked encoding edge case where connection closes before final CRLF after zero-chunk

  (#​3563)

Security

  • Reject stacked chunked encoding
  • Validate Transfer-Encoding values
  • Strict chunk size validation

Bug Fixes

• Fix ASGI concurrent request failures through nginx proxy by normalizing
  sockaddr tuples to handle both 2-tuple (IPv4) and 4-tuple (IPv6) formats
  (PR #​3485)

• Fix graceful disconnect handling for ASGI worker to properly handle

  clients wait for connection close to determine end-of-response.

Changes

  uvloop for async task execution

Testing

• Add ASGI compliance test suite with Docker-based integration tests covering HTTP,
  WebSocket, streaming, lifespan, framework integration (Starlette, FastAPI),
  HTTP/2, and concurrency scenarios

  • Or use config format module:class:N (e.g., myapp:HeavyModel:2)
  • Requests automatically routed to workers with the target app
  • New exception DirtyNoWorkersAvailableError for graceful error handling
  • Example: 8 workers × 10GB model = 80GB → with workers=2: 20GB (75% savings)

  explicitly performed before checking selected_alpn_protocol().

• Fix setproctitle initialization with systemd socket activation
  (#​3465)

• Fix Expect: 100-continue handling: ignore the header for HTTP/1.0 requests
  since 100-continue is only valid for HTTP/1.1+
  (PR #​3463)

• Fix missing _expected_100_continue attribute in UWSGIRequest

• Disable setproctitle on macOS to prevent segfaults during process title updates

• Publish full exception traceback when the application fails to load
  (#​3462)

Code Review

This pull request updates the gunicorn dependency to version 26.0.0 across multiple requirements.txt files in the repository. A review comment points out that in kubernetes_engine/django_tutorial/requirements.txt, the environment markers for Python 2 are now invalid and redundant because Gunicorn 26.0.0 does not support Python 2 and the project already requires Python 3.12+.

[gemini-code-assist]

Gunicorn 20.0 and later (including version 26.0.0) do not support Python 2. The environment marker python_version < '3.0' is invalid for this version and will cause installation failures in Python 2 environments. Additionally, these two lines are redundant as they cover almost all Python versions with the same package version. Since the project requires Python 3.12+ (as indicated by the Django requirement on line 1), these lines should be simplified to a single entry.
