v1.5.0

🆕 Browser Extension

A new Chrome extension is now part of the Kiosk Manager repository (browser-extension/). It replaces the iframe-based player with direct tab navigation and adds Cypress-like automation
scripting to kiosk displays.

Key features:

• Auto-detects the Kiosk Manager by navigating to /play/ – no manual setup required on the device
• Rotates playlist URLs via direct tab navigation (no iframes)
• Automation scripts run automatically when the browser navigates to a matching URL (e.g. PowerBI login)
• Cypress-like script API: cy.get(), .click(), .type(), .autofill(), cy.wait(), cy.waitForUrl(), and more
• Scripts are stored centrally in the Kiosk Manager admin and delivered via the playlist API
• Eval-free script execution – safe regardless of page Content Security Policy

🆕 Automation Scripts

A new AutomationScript model allows attaching browser automation scripts directly to Content Items.

• Many-to-many relationship – one script can be reused across multiple content items
• URL-pattern trigger – scripts execute automatically when the browser navigates to a matching URL
• Permission-guarded – only users with kioskmanager.manage_automation_scripts or superusers can view and edit scripts
• Scripts are returned inline with each playlist item via /api/playlist/

Migration

python manage.py migrate

Three migrations are included (0004–0006): FK → M2M refactor, permission, and model options.

Automated patch release generated after merging Dependabot PR #67.

PR Link: #67

Dependabot Changes:

Bumps gunicorn from 23.0.0 to 25.0.0.

Release notes

Sourced from gunicorn's releases.

Gunicorn 25.0.0

New Features

• Dirty Arbiters: Separate process pool for executing long-running, blocking operations (AI model loading, heavy computation) without blocking HTTP workers ([PR #3460](benoitc/gunicorn#3460))

  • Inspired by Erlang's dirty schedulers
  • Asyncio-based with Unix socket IPC
  • Stateful workers that persist loaded resources
  • New settings: --dirty-app, --dirty-workers, --dirty-timeout, --dirty-threads, --dirty-graceful-timeout
  • Lifecycle hooks: on_dirty_starting, dirty_post_fork, dirty_worker_init, dirty_worker_exit

• Per-App Worker Allocation for Dirty Arbiters: Control how many dirty workers load each app for memory optimization with heavy models ([PR #3473](benoitc/gunicorn#3473))

  • Set workers class attribute on DirtyApp (e.g., workers = 2)
  • 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)

• HTTP/2 Support (Beta): Native HTTP/2 (RFC 7540) support for improved performance with modern clients ([PR #3468](benoitc/gunicorn#3468))

  • Multiplexed streams over a single connection
  • Header compression (HPACK)
  • Flow control and stream prioritization
  • Works with gthread, gevent, and ASGI workers
  • New settings: --http-protocols, --http2-max-concurrent-streams, --http2-initial-window-size, --http2-max-frame-size, --http2-max-header-list-size
  • Requires SSL/TLS and h2 library: pip install gunicorn[http2]
  • New example: examples/http2_gevent/ with Docker and tests

• HTTP 103 Early Hints: Support for RFC 8297 Early Hints to enable browsers to preload resources before the final response ([PR #3468](benoitc/gunicorn#3468))

  • WSGI: environ['wsgi.early_hints'](https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/blob/HEAD/headers) callback
  • ASGI: http.response.informational message type
  • Works with both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2

• uWSGI Protocol for ASGI Worker: The ASGI worker now supports receiving requests via the uWSGI binary protocol from nginx ([PR #3467](benoitc/gunicorn#3467))

Bug Fixes

• Fix HTTP/2 ALPN negotiation for gevent and eventlet workers when do_handshake_on_connect is False (the default). The TLS handshake is now explicitly performed before checking selected_alpn_protocol().
