Add support for streaming responses when dirty app actions return
generators (sync or async). This enables real-time delivery of
incremental results for use cases like LLM token generation.
Features:
- Streaming protocol with chunk/end/error message types
- Worker support for sync and async generators
- Arbiter forwarding of streaming messages
- Deadline-based timeout handling
- Async client streaming API
Protocol:
- Chunk messages (type: "chunk") contain partial data
- End messages (type: "end") signal stream completion
- Error messages can occur mid-stream
New files:
- benchmarks/dirty_streaming.py: Streaming benchmark suite
- tests/dirty/test_*_streaming*.py: Streaming test coverage
- docs/content/dirty.md: Streaming documentation with examples
Introduce Dirty Arbiters - a separate process pool for executing
long-running, blocking operations (AI model loading, heavy computation)
without blocking HTTP workers. Inspired by Erlang's dirty schedulers.
Key features:
- Completely separate from HTTP workers - can be killed/restarted independently
- Stateful - loaded resources persist in dirty worker memory
- Message-passing IPC via Unix sockets with JSON serialization
- Explicit execute() API from HTTP workers
- Asyncio-based for clean concurrent handling
Architecture:
- DirtyArbiter: manages the dirty worker pool, routes requests
- DirtyWorker: executes functions, maintains state, handles requests
- DirtyClient: sync/async API for HTTP workers to call dirty apps
- DirtyProtocol: length-prefixed JSON messages over Unix sockets
- DirtyApp: base class for dirty applications
Configuration options:
- dirty_apps: list of import paths for dirty applications
- dirty_workers: number of dirty workers (default: 0)
- dirty_timeout: task timeout in seconds (default: 300)
- dirty_graceful_timeout: shutdown timeout (default: 30)
Lifecycle hooks:
- on_dirty_starting(arbiter)
- dirty_post_fork(arbiter, worker)
- dirty_worker_init(worker)
- dirty_worker_exit(arbiter, worker)
Includes comprehensive test suite with 164 tests covering:
- Protocol encoding/decoding
- Worker and arbiter lifecycle
- Client sync/async APIs
- Signal handling
- Error handling and timeouts
- Integration tests
* 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!
- Add docker/Dockerfile with non-root user and configurable environment
- Add GitHub Actions workflow to build multi-platform images (amd64/arm64)
- Publish to ghcr.io/benoitc/gunicorn on version tags
- Update documentation with official image usage examples
- 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.

This change extends Python support back to 3.10 and 3.11, which are
still actively maintained by the PSF:
- Python 3.10: Security support until Oct 2026
- Python 3.11: Active support (latest feature release)
- Python 3.12: Active support
- Python 3.13: Latest stable release
The previous change to support only 3.12+ was too restrictive as many
users are still on Python 3.10 and 3.11 in production environments.
Changes:
- Updated pyproject.toml to set minimum Python to 3.10
- Added Python 3.10, 3.11, and PyPy 3.10 to CI matrix
- Updated all documentation to reflect Python 3.10+ requirement
- Maintained compatibility with latest pylint for Python 3.12+
* Update CI and project to support only Python N (3.13) and N-1 (3.12)
- Update GitHub Actions workflows to test only Python 3.12 and 3.13
- Update pyproject.toml to require Python >= 3.12
- Update tox.ini to test only py312 and py313
- Update documentation to reflect Python 3.12+ requirement
- Clean up AppVeyor configuration for Python 3.12
* Update pylint to 3.3.2 for Python 3.12 compatibility
* Disable new pylint warnings for pre-existing issues
