Package Change Age Confidence
gunicorn (changelog) ==23.0.0 -> ==25.0.1 age confidence

Release Notes

benoitc/gunicorn (gunicorn)

v25.0.1

Compare Source

Bug Fixes
  • Fix ASGI streaming responses (SSE) hanging: add chunked transfer encoding for
    HTTP/1.1 responses without Content-Length header. Without chunked encoding,
    clients wait for connection close to determine end-of-response.
Changes
  • Update celery_alternative example to use FastAPI with native ASGI worker and
    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

v25.0.0: 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)

    • 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)

    • 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)

    • 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)

    • WSGI: environ['wsgi.early_hints'](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)

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().

  • 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)

  • Fix ASGI: quick shutdown on SIGINT/SIGQUIT, graceful on SIGTERM

Deprecations

  • Eventlet Worker: The eventlet worker is deprecated and will be removed in
    Gunicorn 26.0. Eventlet itself is no longer actively maintained.
    Please migrate to gevent, gthread, or another supported worker type.

Changes

  • Remove obsolete Makefile targets
    (PR #​3471)
  • Replace RST with markdown documentation format

v24.1.1

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

  • Fix forwarded_allow_ips and proxy_allow_ips to remain as strings for backward
    compatibility with external tools like uvicorn. Network validation now uses strict
    mode to detect invalid CIDR notation (e.g., 192.168.1.1/24 where host bits are set)
    (#​3458,
    PR #​3459)

Full Changelog: benoitc/gunicorn@24.1.0...24.1.1

v24.1.0: Gunicorn 24.1.0

Compare Source

New Features

  • Official Docker Image: Gunicorn now publishes official Docker images to GitHub Container Registry (PR #​3454)

    • Available at ghcr.io/benoitc/gunicorn
    • Based on Python 3.12 slim image
    • Uses recommended worker formula (2 × CPU + 1)
    • Configurable via environment variables
  • PROXY Protocol v2 Support: Extended PROXY protocol implementation to support the binary v2 format in addition to the existing text-based v1 format (PR #​3451)

    • New --proxy-protocol modes: off, v1, v2, auto
    • auto mode (default when enabled) detects v1 or v2 automatically
    • v2 binary format is more efficient and supports additional metadata
    • Works with HAProxy, AWS NLB/ALB, and other PROXY protocol v2 sources
  • CIDR Network Support: --forwarded-allow-ips and --proxy-allow-from now accept CIDR notation (e.g., 192.168.0.0/16) for specifying trusted networks (PR #​3449)

  • Socket Backlog Metric: New gunicorn.socket.backlog gauge metric reports the current socket backlog size on Linux systems (PR #​3450)

  • InotifyReloader Enhancement: The inotify-based reloader now watches newly imported modules, not just those loaded at startup (PR #​3447)

Bug Fixes

  • Fix signal handling regression where SIGCLD alias caused "Unhandled signal: cld" errors on Linux when workers fail during boot (#​3453)
  • Fix socket blocking mode on keepalive connections preventing SSL handshake failures with async workers (PR #​3452)
  • Use smaller buffer size in finish_body() for faster timeout detection on slow or abandoned connections (PR #​3453)
  • Handle SSLWantReadError in finish_body() to prevent worker hangs during SSL renegotiation (PR #​3448)
  • Log SIGTERM as info level instead of warning to reduce noise in orchestrated environments (PR #​3446)
  • Print exception details to stderr when worker fails to boot (PR #​3443)
  • Fix unreader.unread() to prepend data to buffer instead of appending (PR #​3442)
  • Prevent RecursionError when pickling Config objects (PR #​3441)
  • Use proper exception chaining with raise from in glogging.py (PR #​3440)
