* Version 1.0.49:
- This version fixes a regression introduced in version 1.0.48 that broke
the external authentication feature. Reported by Peter Hudec, thanks!
- Sockets from `pure-authd` and `pure-extauth` are now always owned by
`root` in order to cope with the absence of `CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE` on Linux.
Suggested by Arkadiusz MiÅkiewicz, thanks!
* Version 1.0.48:
- SNI support has been added. A new service, `pure-certd`, can run
external code written in any language in order to map SNI names to TLS certificates.
- External authentication handlers get a new
`AUTHD_CLIENT_SNI_NAME` environment variable set when the client uses SNI.
- TLS certificates and keys can now be in different files.
- `make install` does not overwrite existing configuration files any
more. The example files layout has changed.
- TLS 1.3 is enabled when using OpenSSL 1.1.x.
- TLS < 1.2 is disabled by default.
- Quirks for obsolete OpenSSL versions have been removed.
- Username _ftp can be used as an alternative to ftp everywhere.
- Password hashing parameters are now chosen according to locally
available resources. The `pure-pw` command gets to new switches: `-C` (as
a hint regarding the number of simultaneous login attempts) and `-M`
(total memory, in MB, to reserve for password hashing).
- New translation: Albanian, thanks to Moisi Xhaferaj.
- The `PRET` command has been added. It can avoid opening useless data
connections for nonexistent content.
- Dot-files are always displayed. We don't lie any more in some
commands while not lying in other commands to respect the protocol.
- Support for RFC 2640 has been removed from the free version, as it
was early, experimental, slow, mostly broken and unmaintained code.
- The `NLST` command doesn't perform globbing any more.
- The `MLSD` command now prepends the path to file names.
* Version 1.0.47:
- Unlike other directory listing commands, the STAT command should
use TLS on the control channel even if TLS has been disabled on the data
channel. It wasn't the case; this has been fixed. Thanks to Carlo
Cannas.
- Return a 451 error code instead of 226 on aborted uploads.
- The system user "_ftp" can be used as an alternative to "ftp" for
anonymous sessions.
- Compatibility with libsodium > 1.0.12 was added (including minimal
mode).
* Version 1.0.46:
- The server can now be linked against OpenSSL 1.1.x with the strict API.
- Unmaintained contributions have been removed.
- Globbing: the number of * in an expression has been limited to 3.
* Version 1.0.45:
- TLS v1.0 sessions are now refused.
- Version 1.0.44 didn't properly parse the TLSCipherSuite directive.
This has been fixed.
* Version 1.0.44:
- The Perl and Python wrappers are gone. The daemon can now use a
configuration file without requiring external dependencies.
- Pure-FTPd can now be linked against OpenSSL 1.1.x
- The QUIT command didn't work properly when the server was compiled
without support for RFC2640. This has been fixed.
- 3DES was removed from the default cipher suite.
* Version 1.0.43:
- Passwords can now be hashed using Argon2.
- The -J switch didn't work any more in 1.0.42. This has been fixed.
- The default cipher suite was simplified.
- Authentication against system accounts is compatible with OpenBSD 6.0.
- Fixed: protocol conformance when TLS sessions are refused.
- Altlog records can now be sent to `stdout`/`stderr`.
* Version 1.0.42:
- Compilation fix for OpenBSD and Bitrig when Pure-FTPd is not
compiled with libsodium.
- The connection is now dropped if HTTP commands are received.
- LDAP force_default_gid and force_default_uid now work as documented.
- The ONLY_ACCEPT_REUSED_SSL_SESSIONS switch (introduced in Pure-FTPd
1.0.22 circa 2009, but disabled back then due to client compatibility
concerns) is now on by default, except in broken clients compatibility mode.
* Version 1.0.41:
- libmariadb is looked for in addition to libmysqlclient
- MySQL: my_make_scrambled_password() is not always an exported
symbol any more, so pure-ftpd now ships a reimplementation.
- openssl/ec.h is not available on some Linux distributions that
disable EC in OpenSSL. This is being tested by autoconf.
- New command-line switch: -2/--certfile= to set the path to the
certificate file when using TLS.
* Version 1.0.40:
- Support for TCP_FASTOPEN added on Linux
- The LDAP configuration file didn't allow a default gid without also
defining a default uid. This is no longer the case.
- OpenBSD's glob() left the glob_t structure uninitialized if the
pattern was larger than PATH_MAX, causing globfree() to free() an
unwanted pointer. The bug was introduced in Pure-FTPd 1.0.34.
* Version 1.0.39:
- Explicitly include openssl/ec.h for OpenSSL 0.9.8 (CentOS 5)
- Retry if SSL_shutdown() returns -1 and SSL_ERROR_WANT_(READ|WRITE)
* Version 1.0.38:
- The default cipher suite is now ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES:CAMELLIA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!aECDH:!EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:!EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!KRB5-DES-CBC3-SH
- TLS forward secrecy support was added. DH parameters are loaded from
TLS_DHPARAMS_FILE, if present. ECDH is also supported - Default curve
is prime256v1 (TLS_DEFAULT_ECDH_CURVE). The best curve is automatically
selected when using LibreSSL.
- scrypt hashed passwords can be used in the MySQL, PostgreSQL and
LDAP backends.
* Version 1.0.37:
- The -C: prefix can be added to the cipher suite in order to make valid
client certificates mandatory. This is no longer a compile-time option.
- The Clear Command Channel (CCC) command is now supported.
- pure-config.py is compatible with Python 3.
- SSL (v2, v3) is refused by default.
- The PureDB backend supports the scrypt function in order to hash
passwords. This is the preferred algorithm, but requires the presence
of libsodium.
- DES-hashed passwords are not supported any more.
- LDAP uid and gid values can over overridden in the LDAP configuration file.
- New LDAPUseTLS directive for LDAP.
- RC4 was killed.
* Version 1.0.36:
- The safe_write()/safe_read() factorization broke extauth. Using
safe_read_partial() to read from the extauth pipe wasn't enough.
Bug reported by Rasmus Fauske.
- Improved autoconf detection of -fstack-protector and -fPIE
- If 10 digits are not enough to print the size of a file in an
ls-like output, bump the max number of digits to 18. This adds support for
files up to 1 exabyte.
- Pure-FTPd can be compiled with Cygwin, ASLR/DEP is enabled by
default on Windows, and ASCII downloads on Windows have been fixed.
- A new undocumented macro, ALLOW_EVERYTHING_IN_FILE_NAMES, allows
any characters in a file name. Disabled by default.
- Don't display dot files (except . and ..) if dot_read_ok is 0 in
donlist() - but not in sglob() yet. This change is purely cosmetic. There are
many ways to figure out if a file exists.

Changes since v1.10:
v1.11 - 10.03.2020
- Bugfix: The Help screen scrollbars could act strange when switching subjects
- Bugfix: Some of the Instr. Ed. (+ extension) scrollbars could be moved with
the up/down pushbuttons even if the current instrument is not allocated.
This is not supposed to be possible.
- Bugfix: In the Instr. Ed. screen, the "Add" button (vol/pan env.) could lead
to a crash if the current instrument wasn't allocated.
- Bugfix: The piano in the Instr. Ed. screen could show wrong keypresses if
extremely low or high pitches were being played.
- The up/down pushbutton delay has been increased, it's too short in original
FT2 (in my opinion).
- The 4-tap cubic spline interpolation table (for the audio mixer) has been
recalculated in higher precision and more phases. It should in theory be
better, but I can't personally hear any difference.
- Windows: The DPI-scaling is now per-monitor aware instead of system aware.
Maybe this solve the issue of blurry pixels for some people...
- Don't warn the user when loading a song with stereo samples. They will be
mixed to mono anyway, and I don't think it's an important warning to show.
- Fixed some minor grammar errors in some GUI texts

Python 3.7.7 final
Library
bpo-13487: Avoid a possible “RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration” from inspect.getmodule() when it tried to loop through sys.modules.
Documentation
bpo-17422: The language reference no longer restricts default class namespaces to dicts only.
Python 3.7.7 release candidate 1
Security
bpo-39401: Avoid unsafe load of api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll at startup on Windows 7.
Core and Builtins
bpo-39776: Fix race condition where threads created by PyGILState_Ensure() could get a duplicate id.
This affects consumers of tstate->id like the contextvar caching machinery, which could return invalid cached objects under heavy thread load (observed in embedded scenarios).
bpo-39778: Fixed a crash due to incorrect handling of weak references in collections.OrderedDict classes. Patch by Pablo Galindo.
bpo-39382: Fix a use-after-free in the single inheritance path of issubclass(), when the __bases__ of an object has a single reference, and so does its first item. Patch by Yonatan Goldschmidt.
bpo-39606: Fix regression caused by fix for bpo-39386, that prevented calling aclose on an async generator that had already been closed or exhausted.
bpo-39510: Fix segfault in readinto() method on closed BufferedReader.
bpo-39453: Fixed a possible crash in list.__contains__() when a list is changed during comparing items. Patch by Dong-hee Na.
bpo-39427: Document all possibilities for the -X options in the command line help section. Patch by Pablo Galindo.
bpo-39421: Fix possible crashes when operating with the functions in the heapq module and custom comparison operators.
bpo-39386: Prevent double awaiting of async iterator.
bpo-38588: Fix possible crashes in dict and list when calling PyObject_RichCompareBool().
bpo-39031: When parsing an “elif” node, lineno and col_offset of the node now point to the “elif” keyword and not to its condition, making it consistent with the “if” node. Patch by Lysandros Nikolaou.
bpo-38610: Fix possible crashes in several list methods by holding strong references to list elements when calling PyObject_RichCompareBool().
Library
bpo-39794: Add –without-decimal-contextvar build option. This enables a thread-local rather than a coroutine local context.
bpo-39769: The compileall.compile_dir() function’s ddir parameter and the compileall command line flag -d no longer write the wrong pathname to the generated pyc file for submodules beneath the root of the directory tree being compiled. This fixes a regression introduced with Python 3.5.
bpo-30566: Fix IndexError when trying to decode an invalid string with punycode codec.
bpo-39649: Remove obsolete check for __args__ in bdb.Bdb.format_stack_entry.
bpo-27657: The original fix for bpo-27657, “Fix urlparse() with numeric paths” (GH-16839) included in 3.7.6, inadvertently introduced a behavior change that broke several third-party packages relying on the original undefined parsing behavior. The change is reverted in 3.7.7, restoring the behavior of 3.7.5 and earlier releases.
bpo-21016: The pydoc and trace modules now use the sysconfig module to get the path to the Python standard library, to support uncommon installation path like /usr/lib64/python3.9/ on Fedora. Patch by Jan Matějek.
bpo-39548: Fix handling of header in urllib.request.AbstractDigestAuthHandler when the optional qop parameter is not present.
bpo-39450: Striped whitespace from docstring before returning it from unittest.case.shortDescription().
bpo-39493: Mark typing.IO.closed as a property
bpo-39485: Fix a bug in unittest.mock.create_autospec() that would complain about the wrong number of arguments for custom descriptors defined in an extension module returning functions.
bpo-39430: Fixed race condition in lazy imports in tarfile.
bpo-39389: Write accurate compression level metadata in gzip archives, rather than always signaling maximum compression.
bpo-39274: bool(fraction.Fraction) now returns a boolean even if (numerator != 0) does not return a boolean (ex: numpy number).
bpo-39242: Updated the Gmane domain from news.gmane.org to news.gmane.io which is used for examples of NNTP news reader server and nntplib tests.
bpo-39152: Fix ttk.Scale.configure([name]) to return configuration tuple for name or all options. Giovanni Lombardo contributed part of the patch.
bpo-39198: If an exception were to be thrown in Logger.isEnabledFor (say, by asyncio timeouts or stopit) , the logging global lock may not be released appropriately, resulting in deadlock. This change wraps that block of code with try...finally to ensure the lock is released.
bpo-39191: Perform a check for running loop before starting a new task in loop.run_until_complete() to fail fast; it prevents the side effect of new task spawning before exception raising.
bpo-38871: Correctly parenthesize filter-based statements that contain lambda expressions in mod:lib2to3. Patch by Dong-hee Na.
bpo-39142: A change was made to logging.config.dictConfig to avoid converting instances of named tuples to ConvertingTuple. It’s assumed that named tuples are too specialised to be treated like ordinary tuples; if a user of named tuples requires ConvertingTuple functionality, they will have to implement that themselves in their named tuple class.
bpo-38971: Open issue in the BPO indicated a desire to make the implementation of codecs.open() at parity with io.open(), which implements a try/except to assure file stream gets closed before an exception is raised.
bpo-39057: urllib.request.proxy_bypass_environment() now ignores leading dots and no longer ignores a trailing newline.
bpo-39056: Fixed handling invalid warning category in the -W option. No longer import the re module if it is not needed.
bpo-39055: base64.b64decode() with validate=True raises now a binascii.Error if the input ends with a single \n.
bpo-38878: Fixed __subclasshook__ of os.PathLike to return a correct result upon inheritence. Patch by Bar Harel.
bpo-35182: Fixed Popen.communicate() subsequent call crash when the child process has already closed any piped standard stream, but still continues to be running. Patch by Andriy Maletsky.
bpo-38473: Use signature from inner mock for autospecced methods attached with unittest.mock.attach_mock(). Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.
bpo-38293: Add copy.copy() and copy.deepcopy() support to property() objects.
bpo-37953: In typing, improved the __hash__ and __eq__ methods for ForwardReferences.
bpo-36406: Handle namespace packages in doctest. Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.
Documentation
bpo-13790: Change ‘string’ to ‘specification’ in format doc.
bpo-39530: Fix misleading documentation about mixed-type numeric comparisons.
bpo-17422: The language reference now specifies restrictions on class namespaces. Adapted from a patch by Ethan Furman.
bpo-39654: In pyclbr doc, update ‘class’ to ‘module’ where appropriate and add readmodule comment. Patch by Hakan Çelik.
bpo-39392: Explain that when filling with turtle, overlap regions may be left unfilled.
bpo-39381: Mention in docs that asyncio.get_event_loop() implicitly creates new event loop only if called from the main thread.
bpo-38918: Add an entry for __module__ in the “function” & “method” sections of the inspect docs types and members table
bpo-3530: In the ast module documentation, fix a misleading NodeTransformer example and add advice on when to use the fix_missing_locations function.
Tests
bpo-38546: Fix test_ressources_gced_in_workers() of test_concurrent_futures: explicitly stop the manager to prevent leaking a child process running in the background after the test completes.
Build
bpo-39144: The ctags and etags build targets both include Modules/_ctypes and Python standard library source files.
Windows
bpo-38597: distutils will no longer statically link vcruntime140.dll when a redistributable version is unavailable. All future releases of CPython will include a copy of this DLL to ensure distributed extensions can continue to load.
bpo-38380: Update Windows builds to use SQLite 3.31.1
bpo-39439: Reduce overhead when using multiprocessing in a Windows virtual environment
bpo-39185: The build.bat script has additional options for very-quiet output (-q) and very-verbose output (-vv)
macOS
bpo-38380: Update macOS builds to use SQLite 3.31.1
IDLE
bpo-39781: Selecting code context lines no longer causes a jump.
bpo-39663: Add tests for pyparse find_good_parse_start().
bpo-39600: In the font configuration window, remove duplicated font names.
bpo-30780: Add remaining configdialog tests for buttons and highlights and keys tabs.
bpo-39388: IDLE Settings Cancel button now cancels pending changes
bpo-39050: Make IDLE Settings dialog Help button work again.
bpo-34118: Tag memoryview, range, and tuple as classes, the same as list, etcetera, in the library manual built-in functions list.

ChangeLog:
This release includes the ECL lexer as a new lexer. It also incorporates
fixes for the CoffeeScript, Markdown, NASM, Ruby, Scala and Varnish lexers.
Packaged by pin in pkgsrc-wip. (The change log below doesn't note this,
but NetBSD-specific patches from pin were also merged in 0.13.0.)
V0.13.0
---------
* Allow dash and some other characters (-,;!@*') in URL schemes.
* Support syntax color customization, with two separate settings for light and dark color schemes.
* Also added an option for the whitespace color value.
* Never use processEvents(); it makes single-instance apps prone to crash in rare cases.
* Consider the HTML ampersand valid in "&name;", "&number;" and "&hexadecimal;".
* Yet smarter Shift+Enter with alphabetical lists.
* Bypass medium focus stealing prevention.
* Fixed a problem in highlighting of multiline comments (with languages that have regex).
* Fixed highlighting of Markdown code blocks without language.
* Remember cursor's horizontal pixel position before Backspace/Enter and restore it after Down/Up. This feature was removed with Backspace due
to a regression in Qt 5.14.1.
* Found and fixed a potential issue in translations (thanks to Masamichi Ito — ito32bit at GitHub).
* Don't read custom shortcuts and syntax colors from global config files because the user should be able to restore their default values.
V0.12.1
---------
* Removed "changelog" and "gtkrc" from the language menu (like "srt") while keeping their syntax highlighting.
* Allow searching in the language menu by typing continuously.
* More informative message when a non-text file isn't opened because of preferences.
* Fixed disabled sort line actions in context menu.
* Fixed a case of escaped quote/brace/bracket in YAML.
* Reformat the visible text rectangle on toggling line wrapping.
* Considered the new behavior of horizontal wheel scrolling in Qt 5.14.0.
* Added a workaround for the bug in horizontal scrollbars of Qt 5.14.0.
bsdtar chooses the base system tar if it is libarchive tar (NetBSD
9/current, typically), and the package otherwise, so there is no need
to conditionalize setting bsdtar on NetBSD.
(As discussed on tech-pkg@.)
