Changelog

Sourced from httpx's changelog.

0.28.1 (6th December, 2024)

• Fix SSL case where verify=False together with client side certificates.

0.28.0 (28th November, 2024)

Be aware that the default JSON request bodies now use a more compact representation. This is generally considered a prefered style, tho may require updates to test suites.

The 0.28 release includes a limited set of deprecations...

Deprecations:

We are working towards a simplified SSL configuration API.

For users of the standard verify=True or verify=False cases, or verify=<ssl_context> case this should require no changes. The following cases have been deprecated...

• The verify argument as a string argument is now deprecated and will raise warnings.
• The cert argument is now deprecated and will raise warnings.

Our revised SSL documentation covers how to implement the same behaviour with a more constrained API.

The following changes are also included:

• The deprecated proxies argument has now been removed.
• The deprecated app argument has now been removed.
• JSON request bodies use a compact representation. (#3363)
• Review URL percent escape sets, based on WHATWG spec. (#3371, #3373)
• Ensure certifi and httpcore are only imported if required. (#3377)
• Treat socks5h as a valid proxy scheme. (#3178)
• Cleanup Request() method signature in line with client.request() and httpx.request(). (#3378)
• Bugfix: When passing params={}, always strictly update rather than merge with an existing querystring. (#3364)

0.27.2 (27th August, 2024)

Fixed

• Reintroduced supposedly-private URLTypes shortcut. (#2673)

0.27.1 (27th August, 2024)

Added

• Support for zstd content decoding using the python zstandard package is added. Installable using httpx[zstd]. (#3139)

Fixed

• Improved error messaging for InvalidURL exceptions. (#3250)
• Fix app type signature in ASGITransport. (#3109)

0.27.0 (21st February, 2024)

Declining this one — not superseded. The floor stays at httpx >= 0.27, < 1.

Checked against GitHub's advisory database before deciding: no advisory touches httpx above 0.23.0, and this project's floor is already 0.27. So the raise fixes nothing here.

That matters because it isn't free. httpx is a runtime dependency, so raising its floor narrows what a user may install, and under docs/design/deprecation-policy.md § Dependency floors that is a breaking change owed an announcement. Paying that for no security or functional gain is a cost with no return.

Nothing is wrong with the proposal — versioning-strategy: increase is set deliberately, and it raises the lower bound on every in-range release whether or not the raise buys anything. Surfacing the decision is the config working; this is the decision.

Sibling proposals #208, #211 and #212 were taken and shipped in #221 — #211 was the one that mattered, clearing a HIGH and a MODERATE advisory in build-system.requires. Full reasoning there.

Reopen if an advisory later lands in the allowed range.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
