Eventlet was deprecated for 26.0 and is now removed:
- Delete gunicorn/workers/geventlet.py and its registry entry
- Drop eventlet from config help text, HTTP/2 unsupported-worker
messages, and the dirty client docstring
- Drop the eventlet optional-dependency, the eventlet entry in the
testing extra, and the eventlet-only filterwarnings ignore
- Drop the EventletWorkerAlpn test class
- Drop the freebsd CI ignore for the (now non-existent) test_geventlet.py
- Drop eventlet from the issue-triage discussion template
- Drop eventlet from README, install/design/http2/settings/news docs;
rewrite the news.md entry from 'deprecated' to 'removed in this release'
Add h2 and uvloop to requirements_test.txt so a plain
'pip install -r requirements_test.txt' run reaches feature parity with
'pip install .[testing]' for those two deps. The container suite
previously skipped 87 HTTP/2 tests for missing h2 and 1 for uvloop;
the in-process suite skips drop from 67 to 40.
The previous default /run/gunicorn.ctl requires root permissions.
Now uses $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gunicorn.ctl if available, otherwise
$HOME/.gunicorn/gunicorn.ctl. This works on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD,
and macOS without requiring elevated privileges.
- Add _get_default_control_socket() helper in config.py
- Create parent directory automatically with 0o700 permissions
- Update gunicornc CLI to use the same default path
- Add unit tests for path selection and directory creation
Wire HttpParser to ASGI hot path, replacing AsyncRequest.parse() with
direct buffer-based parsing. Add FastAsyncRequest wrapper for body
reading. Replace per-request Queue/Task with BodyReceiver for on-demand
body reading. Keep headers as bytes end-to-end to avoid conversion
overhead. Add backpressure control and keepalive timer. Cache response
status lines and Date header.
Benchmark shows 3x improvement: ~875K req/s for simple GET (was ~340K).
- Add guides/gunicornc.md with usage examples and command reference
- Update mkdocs.yml navigation to include Control Interface guide
- Update 2026-news.md and news.md changelog with 25.2.0 release
- Regenerate reference/settings.md with control socket settings
Closes#3484
When a client disconnects during an ASGI request, the worker now:
1. Sends http.disconnect message to the app's receive queue
2. Allows a configurable grace period for cleanup (default: 3 seconds)
3. Only cancels the task after the grace period expires
This follows the ASGI HTTP Connection Scope spec which defines
http.disconnect as the message apps should receive when clients
disconnect: https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/specs/www.html#disconnect-receive-event
The grace period prevents CancelledError from propagating to async
database operations, allowing SQLAlchemy and other async DB libraries
to properly reset their connection pools.
New config option: --asgi-disconnect-grace-period (default: 3 seconds)
- Add explicit do_handshake() in base_async.py before ALPN check
when do_handshake_on_connect is False
- Mark eventlet worker as deprecated (removal in 26.0)
- Add HTTP/2 gevent example with Docker and tests
- Update documentation to reflect eventlet deprecation
- Remove eventlet websocket example (gevent version exists)
The ALPN fix ensures HTTP/2 works correctly with gevent and eventlet
workers when do_handshake_on_connect config is False (the default).
Without explicit handshake, selected_alpn_protocol() returns None.

- Quick start and requirements
- Configuration options and settings
- Worker compatibility matrix
- HTTP 103 Early Hints usage for WSGI and ASGI
- Production deployment with nginx
- Troubleshooting guide
- Update docs/content/asgi.md to reflect HTTP/2 support
- Update docs/content/2026-news.md with 25.0.0 release featuring
HTTP/2 and Early Hints
- Regenerate docs/content/reference/settings.md with HTTP/2 settings
* Python3: refactor returned traceback
Exceptions provide __traceback__ reference since Python 3.0
(and creating cyclic references has not been big deal since Python 2.2)
* --reload: publish entire exception, not just traceback
This is dangerous insofar as the exception text is more
likely to contain secrets than the quoted lines from traceback are.
However, the difference between the two is minor compared to the
primary danger of enabling this on a production machine, so focus
on that instead!
- Bump version to 24.1.0
- Add PROXY protocol v2 documentation to deploy guide
- Add 24.1.0 changelog with new features and bug fixes
- Update all docs.gunicorn.org URLs to gunicorn.org
Extend --proxy-protocol to accept version values (off, v1, v2, auto) instead
of being boolean-only. This allows explicit control over which PROXY protocol
versions are accepted.
Changes:
- Add InvalidProxyHeader exception for v2 binary header errors
- Add validate_proxy_protocol() validator with backwards compatibility
- Update ProxyProtocol setting with nargs="?" and const="auto"
- Add PROXY v2 constants (PP_V2_SIGNATURE, PPCommand, PPFamily, PPProtocol)
- Add _parse_proxy_protocol_v1() and _parse_proxy_protocol_v2() methods
- Update both sync (message.py) and async (asgi/message.py) parsers
- Add hex escape handling in treq.py for v2 binary test data
- Add test cases for v2 TCPv4 and TCPv6
Backwards compatible: --proxy-protocol alone (or True) maps to "auto".
Closes#2912
The syslog_addr setting has different defaults depending on the
platform (macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux). Added default_doc to
show all platform-specific defaults in the documentation, ensuring
consistent output regardless of which platform generates the docs.
Also kept the diagnostic git diff in CI for future debugging.
- Change settings headers to h2 sections / h3 settings for TOC visibility
