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.
- Read chunk size lines and trailers in 64-byte blocks instead of 1 byte
at a time, pushing back excess data to the unreader buffer
- Reuse BytesIO buffers with truncate/seek instead of creating new
objects to reduce GC pressure in AsyncUnreader
- Use bytearray.find() directly instead of converting to bytes first
in header parsing loop
- Use index-based iteration for header parsing instead of list.pop(0)
which is O(n) per pop vs O(1) for index access
Add tests for the optimized parsing code paths.
