.. _changelog: ================ Change history ================ .. _version-2.5.3: 2.5.3 ===== :release-date: 2012-11-29 12:35 PM UTC - Pidbox: Fixed compatibility with Python 2.6 2.5.2 ===== :release-date: 2012-11-29 12:35 PM UTC .. _version-2.5.2: 2.5.2 ===== :release-date: 2012-11-29 12:35 PM UTC - [Redis] Fixed connection leak and added a new 'max_connections' transport option. .. _version-2.5.1: 2.5.1 ===== :release-date: 2012-11-28 12:45 P.M UTC - Fixed bug where return value of Queue.as_dict could not be serialized with JSON (Issue #177). .. _version-2.5.0: 2.5.0 ===== :release-date: 2012-11-27 04:00 P.M UTC - `py-amqp`_ is now the new default transport, replacing ``amqplib``. The new `py-amqp`_ library is a fork of amqplib started with the following goals: - Uses AMQP 0.9.1 instead of 0.8 - Support for heartbeats (Issue #79 + Issue #131) - Automatically revives channels on channel errors. - Support for all RabbitMQ extensions - Consumer Cancel Notifications (Issue #131) - Publisher Confirms (Issue #131). - Exchange-to-exchange bindings: ``exchange_bind`` / ``exchange_unbind``. - API compatible with :mod:`librabbitmq` so that it can be used as a pure-python replacement in environments where rabbitmq-c cannot be compiled. librabbitmq will be updated to support all the same features as py-amqp. - Support for using multiple connection URL's for failover. The first argument to :class:`~kombu.Connection` can now be a list of connection URLs: .. code-block:: python Connection(['amqp://foo', 'amqp://bar']) or it can be a single string argument with several URLs separated by semicolon: .. code-block:: python Connection('amqp://foo;amqp://bar') There is also a new keyword argument ``failover_strategy`` that defines how :meth:`~kombu.Connection.ensure_connection`/ :meth:`~kombu.Connection.ensure`/:meth:`kombu.Connection.autoretry` will reconnect in the event of connection failures. The default reconnection strategy is ``round-robin``, which will simply cycle through the list forever, and there's also a ``shuffle`` strategy that will select random hosts from the list. Custom strategies can also be used, in that case the argument must be a generator yielding the URL to connect to. Example: .. code-block:: python Connection('amqp://foo;amqp://bar') - Now supports PyDev, PyCharm, pylint and other static code analysis tools. - :class:`~kombu.Queue` now supports multiple bindings. You can now have multiple bindings in the same queue by having the second argument be a list: .. code-block:: python from kombu import binding, Queue Queue('name', [ binding(Exchange('E1'), routing_key='foo'), binding(Exchange('E1'), routing_key='bar'), binding(Exchange('E2'), routing_key='baz'), ]) To enable this, helper methods have been added: - :meth:`~kombu.Queue.bind_to` - :meth:`~kombu.Queue.unbind_from` Contributed by Rumyana Neykova. - Custom serializers can now be registered using Setuptools entry-points. See :ref:`serialization-entrypoints`. - New :class:`kombu.common.QoS` class used as a thread-safe way to manage changes to a consumer or channels prefetch_count. This was previously an internal class used in Celery now moved to the :mod:`kombu.common` module. - Consumer now supports a ``on_message`` callback that can be used to process raw messages (not decoded). Other callbacks specified using the ``callbacks`` argument, and the ``receive`` method will be not be called when a on message callback is present. - New utility :func:`kombu.common.ignore_errors` ignores connection and channel errors. Must only be used for cleanup actions at shutdown or on connection loss. - Support for exchange-to-exchange bindings. The :class:`~kombu.Exchange` entity gained ``bind_to`` and ``unbind_from`` methods: .. code-block:: python e1 = Exchange('A')(connection) e2 = Exchange('B')(connection) e2.bind_to(e1, routing_key='rkey', arguments=None) e2.unbind_from(e1, routing_key='rkey', arguments=None) This is currently only supported by the ``pyamqp`` transport. Contributed by Rumyana Neykova. .. _version-2.4.10: 2.4.10 ====== :release-date: 2012-11-22 06:00 P.M UTC - The previous versions connection pool changes broke Redis support so that it would always connect to localhost (default setting) no matter what connection parameters were provided (Issue #176). .. _version-2.4.9: 2.4.9 ===== :release-date: 2012-11-21 03:00 P.M UTC - Redis: Fixed race condition that could occur while trying to restore messages (Issue #171). Fix contributed by Ollie Walsh. - Redis: Each channel is now using a specific connection pool instance, which is disconnected on connection failure. - ProducerPool: Fixed possible dead-lock in the acquire method. - ProducerPool: ``force_close_all`` no longer tries to call the non-existent ``Producer._close``. - librabbitmq: Now implements ``transport.verify_connection`` so that connection pools will not give back connections that are no longer working. - New and better ``repr()`` for Queue and Exchange objects. - Python3: Fixed problem with running the unit test suite. - Python3: Fixed problem with JSON codec. .. _version-2.4.8: 2.4.8 ===== :release-date: 2012-11-02 05:00 P.M UTC - Redis: Improved fair queue cycle implementation (Issue #166). Contributed by Kevin McCarthy. - Redis: Unacked message restore limit is now unlimited by default. Also, the limit can now be configured using the ``unacked_restore_limit`` transport option: .. code-block:: python Connection('redis://', transport_options={ 'unacked_restore_limit': 100, }) A limit of 100 means that the consumer will restore at most 100 messages at each pass. - Redis: Now uses a mutex to ensure only one consumer restores messages at a time. The mutex expires after 5 minutes by default, but can be configured using the ``unacked_mutex_expire`` transport option. - LamportClock.adjust now returns the new clock value. - Heartbeats can now be specified in URLs. Fix contributed by Mher Movsisyan. - Kombu can now be used with PyDev, PyCharm and other static analysis tools. - Fixes problem with msgpack on Python 3 (Issue #162). Fix contributed by Jasper Bryant-Greene - amqplib: Fixed bug with timeouts when SSL is used in non-blocking mode. Fix contributed by Mher Movsisyan .. _version-2.4.7: 2.4.7 ===== :release-date: 2012-09-18 03:00 P.M BST - Virtual: Unknown exchanges now default to 'direct' when sending a message. - MongoDB: Fixed memory leak when merging keys stored in the db (Issue #159) Fix contributed by Michael Korbakov. - MongoDB: Better index for MongoDB transport (Issue #158). This improvement will create a new compund index for queue and _id in order to be able to use both indexed fields for getting a new message (using queue field) and sorting by _id. It'll be necessary to manually delete the old index from the collection. Improvement contributed by rmihael .. _version-2.4.6: 2.4.6 ===== :release-date: 2012-09-12 03:00 P.M BST - Adds additional compatibility dependencies: - Python <= 2.6: - importlib - ordereddict - Python <= 2.5 - simplejson .. _version-2.4.5: 2.4.5 ===== :release-date: 2012-08-30 03:36 P.M BST - Last version broke installtion on PyPy and Jython due to test requirements clean-up. .. _version-2.4.4: 2.4.4 ===== :release-date: 2012-08-29 04:00 P.M BST - amqplib: Fixed a bug with asynchronously reading large messages. - pyamqp: Now requires amqp 0.9.3 - Cleaned up test requirements. .. _version-2.4.3: 2.4.3 ===== :release-date: 2012-08-25 10:30 P.M BST - Fixed problem with amqp transport alias (Issue #154). .. _version-2.4.2: 2.4.2 ===== :release-date: 2012-08-24 05:00 P.M BST - Having an empty transport name broke in 2.4.1. .. _version-2.4.1: 2.4.1 ===== :release-date: 2012-08-24 04:00 P.M BST - Redis: Fixed race condition that could cause the consumer to crash (Issue #151) Often leading to the error message ``"could not convert string to float"`` - Connection retry could cause an inifite loop (Issue #145). - The ``amqp`` alias is now resolved at runtime, so that eventlet detection works even if patching was done later. .. _version-2.4.0: 2.4.0 ===== :release-date: 2012-08-17 08:00 P.M BST - New experimental :mod:`ZeroMQ >> conn = Connection('pyamqp://guest:guest@localhost//') The ``pyamqp://`` transport will be the default fallback transport in Kombu version 3.0, when :mod:`librabbitmq` is not installed, and librabbitmq will also be updated to support the same features. - Connection now supports heartbeat argument. If enabled you must make sure to manually maintain heartbeats by calling the ``Connection.heartbeat_check`` at twice the rate of the specified heartbeat interval. E.g. if you have ``Connection(heartbeat=10)``, then you must call ``Connection.heartbeat_check()`` every 5 seconds. if the server has not sent heartbeats at a suitable rate then the heartbeat check method must raise an error that is listed in ``Connection.connection_errors``. The attribute ``Connection.supports_heartbeats`` has been added for the ability to inspect if a transport supports heartbeats or not. Calling ``heartbeat_check`` on a transport that does not support heartbeats results in a noop operation. - SQS: Fixed bug with invalid characters in queue names. Fix contributed by Zach Smith. - utils.reprcall: Fixed typo where kwargs argument was an empty tuple by default, and not an empty dict. .. _version-2.2.6: 2.2.6 ===== :release-date: 2012-07-10 17:00 P.M BST - Adds ``kombu.messaging.entry_to_queue`` for compat with previous versions. .. _version-2.2.5: 2.2.5 ===== :release-date: 2012-07-10 17:00 P.M BST - Pidbox: Now sets queue expire at 10 seconds for reply queues. - EventIO: Now ignores ``ValueError`` raised by epoll unregister. - MongoDB: Fixes Issue #142 Fix by Flavio Percoco Premoli .. _version-2.2.4: 2.2.4 ===== :release-date: 2012-07-05 16:00 P.M BST - Support for msgpack-python 0.2.0 (Issue #143) The latest msgpack version no longer supports Python 2.5, so if you're still using that you need to depend on an earlier msgpack-python version. Fix contributed by Sebastian Insua - :func:`~kombu.common.maybe_declare` no longer caches entities with the ``auto_delete`` flag set. - New experimental filesystem transport. Contributed by Bobby Beever. - Virtual Transports: Now support anonymous queues and exchanges. .. _version-2.2.3: 2.2.3 ===== :release-date: 2012-06-24 17:00 P.M BST - ``BrokerConnection`` now renamed to ``Connection``. The name ``Connection`` has been an alias for a very long time, but now the rename is official in the documentation as well. The Connection alias has been available since version 1.1.3, and ``BrokerConnection`` will still work and is not deprecated. - ``Connection.clone()`` now works for the sqlalchemy transport. - :func:`kombu.common.eventloop`, :func:`kombu.utils.uuid`, and :func:`kombu.utils.url.parse_url` can now be imported from the :mod:`kombu` module directly. - Pidbox transport callback ``after_reply_message_received`` now happens in a finally block. - Trying to use the ``librabbitmq://`` transport will now show the right name in the :exc:`ImportError` if :mod:`librabbitmq` is not installed. The librabbitmq falls back to the older ``pylibrabbitmq`` name for compatibility reasons and would therefore show ``No module named pylibrabbitmq`` instead of librabbitmq. .. _version-2.2.2: 2.2.2 ===== :release-date: 2012-06-22 02:30 P.M BST - Now depends on :mod:`anyjson` 0.3.3 - Json serializer: Now passes :class:`buffer` objects directly, since this is supported in the latest :mod:`anyjson` version. - Fixes blocking epoll call if timeout was set to 0. Fix contributed by John Watson. - setup.py now takes requirements from the :file:`requirements/` directory. - The distribution directory :file:`contrib/` is now renamed to :file:`extra/` .. _version-2.2.1: 2.2.1 ===== :release-date: 2012-06-21 01:00 P.M BST - SQS: Default visibility timeout is now 30 minutes. Since we have ack emulation the visibility timeout is only in effect if the consumer is abrubtly terminated. - retry argument to ``Producer.publish`` now works properly, when the declare argument is specified. - Json serializer: didn't handle buffer objects (Issue #135). Fix contributed by Jens Hoffrichter. - Virtual: Now supports passive argument to ``exchange_declare``. - Exchange & Queue can now be bound to connections (which will use the default channel): >>> exchange = Exchange('name') >>> bound_exchange = exchange(connection) >>> bound_exchange.declare() - ``SimpleQueue`` & ``SimpleBuffer`` can now be bound to connections (which will use the default channel). - ``Connection.manager.get_bindings`` now works for librabbitmq and pika. - Adds new transport info attributes:: - ``Transport.driver_type`` Type of underlying driver, e.g. "amqp", "redis", "sql". - ``Transport.driver_name`` Name of library used e.g. "amqplib", "redis", "pymongo". - ``Transport.driver_version()`` Version of underlying library. .. _version-2.2.0: 2.2.0 ===== :release-date: 2012-06-07 3:10 P.M BST :by: Ask Solem .. _v220-important: Important Notes --------------- - The canonical source code repository has been moved to http://github.com/celery/kombu - Pidbox: Exchanges used by pidbox are no longer auto_delete. Auto delete has been described as a misfeature, and therefore we have disabled it. For RabbitMQ users old exchanges used by pidbox must be removed, these are named ``mailbox_name.pidbox``, and ``reply.mailbox_name.pidbox``. The following command can be used to clean up these exchanges:: VHOST=/ URL=amqp:// python -c'import sys,kombu;[kombu.Connection( sys.argv[-1]).channel().exchange_delete(x) for x in sys.argv[1:-1]]' \ $(sudo rabbitmqctl -q list_exchanges -p "$VHOST" \ | grep \.pidbox | awk '{print $1}') "$URL" The :envvar:`VHOST` variable must be set to the target RabbitMQ virtual host, and the :envvar:`URL` must be the AMQP URL to the server. - The ``amqp`` transport alias will now use :mod:`librabbitmq` if installed. `py-librabbitmq`_ is a fast AMQP client for Python using the librabbitmq C library. It can be installed by:: $ pip install librabbitmq It will not be used if the process is monkey patched by eventlet/gevent. .. _`py-librabbitmq`: https://github.com/celery/librabbitmq .. _v220-news: News ---- - Redis: Ack emulation improvements. Reducing the possibility of data loss. Acks are now implemented by storing a copy of the message when the message is consumed. The copy is not removed until the consumer acknowledges or rejects it. This means that unacknowledged messages will be redelivered either when the connection is closed, or when the visibility timeout is exceeded. - Visibility timeout This is a timeout for acks, so that if the consumer does not ack the message within this time limit, the message is redelivered to another consumer. The timeout is set to one hour by default, but can be changed by configuring a transport option: >>> Connection('redis://', transport_options={ ... 'visibility_timeout': 1800, # 30 minutes ... }) **NOTE**: Messages that have not been acked will be redelivered if the visibility timeout is exceeded, for Celery users this means that ETA/countdown tasks that are scheduled to execute with a time that exceeds the visibility timeout will be executed twice (or more). If you plan on using long ETA/countdowns you should tweak the visibility timeout accordingly:: BROKER_TRANSPORT_OPTIONS = {'visibility_timeout': 18000} # 5 hours Setting a long timeout means that it will take a long time for messages to be redelivered in the event of a power failure, but if so happens you could temporarily set the visibility timeout lower to flush out messages when you start up the systems again. - Experimental `Apache ZooKeeper`_ transport More information is in the module reference: :mod:`kombu.transport.zookeeper`. Contributed by Mahendra M. .. _`Apache ZooKeeper`: http://zookeeper.apache.org/ - Redis: Priority support. The message's ``priority`` field is now respected by the Redis transport by having multiple lists for each named queue. The queues are then consumed by in order of priority. The priority field is a number in the range of 0 - 9, where 0 is the default and highest priority. The priority range is collapsed into four steps by default, since it is unlikely that nine steps will yield more benefit than using four steps. The number of steps can be configured by setting the ``priority_steps`` transport option, which must be a list of numbers in **sorted order**:: >>> x = Connection('redis://', transport_options={ ... 'priority_steps': [0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9], ... }) Priorities implemented in this way is not as reliable as priorities on the server side, which is why nickname the feature "quasi-priorities"; **Using routing is still the suggested way of ensuring quality of service**, as client implemented priorities fall short in a number of ways, e.g. if the worker is busy with long running tasks, has prefetched many messages, or the queues are congested. Still, it is possible that using priorities in combination with routing can be more beneficial than using routing or priorities alone. Experimentation and monitoring should be used to prove this. Contributed by Germán M. Bravo. - Redis: Now cycles queues so that consuming is fair. This ensures that a very busy queue won't block messages from other queues, and ensures that all queues have an equal chance of being consumed from. This used to be the case before, but the behavior was accidentally changed while switching to using blocking pop. - Redis: Auto delete queues that are bound to fanout exchanges is now deleted at channel.close. - amqplib: Refactored the drain_events implementation. - Pidbox: Now uses ``connection.default_channel``. - Pickle serialization: Can now decode buffer objects. - Exchange/Queue declarations can now be cached even if the entity is non-durable. This is possible because the list of cached declarations are now kept with the connection, so that the entities will be redeclared if the connection is lost. - Kombu source code now only uses one-level of explicit relative imports. .. _v220-fixes: Fixes ----- - eventio: Now ignores ENOENT raised by ``epoll.register``, and EEXIST from ``epoll.unregister``. - eventio: kqueue now ignores :exc:`KeyError` on unregister. - Redis: ``Message.reject`` now supports the ``requeue`` argument. - Redis: Remove superfluous pipeline call. Fix contributed by Thomas Johansson. - Redis: Now sets redelivered header for redelivered messages. - Now always makes sure references to :func:`sys.exc_info` is removed. - Virtual: The compression header is now removed before restoring messages. - More tests for the SQLAlchemy backend. Contributed by Franck Cuny. - Url parsing did not handle MongoDB URLs properly. Fix contributed by Flavio Percoco Premoli. - Beanstalk: Ignore default tube when reserving. Fix contributed by Zhao Xiaohong. Nonblocking consume support --------------------------- librabbitmq, amqplib and redis transports can now be used non-blocking. The interface is very manual, and only consuming messages is non-blocking so far. The API should not be regarded as stable or final in any way. It is used by Celery which has very limited needs at this point. Hopefully we can introduce a proper callback-based API later. - ``Transport.eventmap`` Is a map of ``fd -> callback(fileno, event)`` to register in an eventloop. - ``Transport.on_poll_start()`` Is called before every call to poll. The poller must support ``register(fd, callback)`` and ``unregister(fd)`` methods. - ``Transport.on_poll_start(poller)`` Called when the hub is initialized. The poller argument must support the same interface as :class:`kombu.utils.eventio.poll`. - ``Connection.ensure_connection`` now takes a callback argument which is called for every loop while the connection is down. - Adds ``connection.drain_nowait`` This is a non-blocking alternative to drain_events, but only supported by amqplib/librabbitmq. - drain_events now sets ``connection.more_to_read`` if there is more data to read. This is to support eventloops where other things must be handled between draining events. .. _version-2.1.8: 2.1.8 ===== :release-date: 2012-05-06 3:06 P.M BST :by: Ask Solem * Bound Exchange/Queue's are now pickleable. * Consumer/Producer can now be instantiated without a channel, and only later bound using ``.revive(channel)``. * ProducerPool now takes ``Producer`` argument. * :func:`~kombu.utils.fxrange` now counts forever if the stop argument is set to None. (fxrange is like xrange but for decimals). * Auto delete support for virtual transports were incomplete and could lead to problems so it was removed. * Cached declarations (:func:`~kombu.common.maybe_declare`) are now bound to the underlying connection, so that entities are redeclared if the connection is lost. This also means that previously uncacheable entities (e.g. non-durable) can now be cached. * compat ConsumerSet: can now specify channel. .. _version-2.1.7: 2.1.7 ===== :release-date: 2012-04-27 6:00 P.M BST * compat consumerset now accepts optional channel argument. .. _version-2.1.6: 2.1.6 ===== :release-date: 2012-04-23 1:30 P.M BST * SQLAlchemy transport was not working correctly after URL parser change. * maybe_declare now stores cached declarations per underlying connection instead of globally, in the rare case that data disappears from the broker after connection loss. * Django: Added South migrations. Contributed by Joseph Crosland. .. _version-2.1.5: 2.1.5 ===== :release-date: 2012-04-13 3:30 P.M BST * The url parser removed more than the first leading slash (Issue #121). * SQLAlchemy: Can now specify url using + separator Example:: Connection('sqla+mysql://localhost/db') * Better support for anonymous queues (Issue #116). Contributed by Michael Barrett. * ``Connection.as_uri`` now quotes url parts (Issue #117). * Beanstalk: Can now set message TTR as a message property. Contributed by Andrii Kostenko .. _version-2.1.4: 2.1.4 ===== :release-date: 2012-04-03 4:00 P.M GMT * MongoDB: URL parsing are now delegated to the pymongo library (Fixes Issue #103 and Issue #87). Fix contributed by Flavio Percoco Premoli and James Sullivan * SQS: A bug caused SimpleDB to be used even if sdb persistence was not enabled (Issue #108). Fix contributed by Anand Kumria. * Django: Transaction was committed in the wrong place, causing data cleanup to fail (Issue #115). Fix contributed by Daisuke Fujiwara. * MongoDB: Now supports replica set URLs. Contributed by Flavio Percoco Premoli. * Redis: Now raises a channel error if a queue key that is currently being consumed from disappears. Fix contributed by Stephan Jaekel. * All transport 'channel_errors' lists now includes :exc:`~kombu.exception.StdChannelError`. * All kombu exceptions now inherit from a common :exc:`~kombu.exceptions.KombuError`. .. _version-2.1.3: 2.1.3 ===== :release-date: 2012-03-20 3:00 P.M GMT :by: Ask Solem * Fixes Jython compatibility issues. * Fixes Python 2.5 compatibility issues. .. _version-2.1.2: 2.1.2 ===== :release-date: 2012-03-01 01:00 P.M GMT :by: Ask Solem * amqplib: Last version broke SSL support. .. _version-2.1.1: 2.1.1 ===== :release-date: 2012-02-24 02:00 P.M GMT :by: Ask Solem * Connection URLs now supports encoded characters. * Fixed a case where connection pool could not recover from connection loss. Fix contributed by Florian Munz. * We now patch amqplib's ``__del__`` method to skip trying to close the socket if it is not connected, as this resulted in an annoying warning. * Compression can now be used with binary message payloads. Fix contributed by Steeve Morin. .. _version-2.1.0: 2.1.0 ===== :release-date: 2012-02-04 10:38 P.M GMT :by: Ask Solem * MongoDB: Now supports fanout (broadcast) (Issue #98). Contributed by Scott Lyons. * amqplib: Now detects broken connections by using ``MSG_PEEK``. * pylibrabbitmq: Now supports ``basic_get`` (Issue #97). * gevent: Now always uses the ``select`` polling backend. * pika transport: Now works with pika 0.9.5 and 0.9.6dev. The old pika transport (supporting 0.5.x) is now available as alias ``oldpika``. (Note terribly latency has been experienced with the new pika versions, so this is still an experimental transport). * Virtual transports: can now set polling interval via the transport options (Issue #96). Example:: >>> Connection('sqs://', transport_options={ ... 'polling_interval': 5.0}) The default interval is transport specific, but usually 1.0s (or 5.0s for the Django database transport, which can also be set using the ``KOMBU_POLLING_INTERVAL`` setting). * Adds convenience function: :func:`kombu.common.eventloop`. .. _version-2.0.0: 2.0.0 ===== :release-date: 2012-01-15 18:34 P.M GMT :by: Ask Solem .. _v200-important: Important Notes --------------- .. _v200-python-compatibility: Python Compatibility ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * No longer supports Python 2.4. Users of Python 2.4 can still use the 1.x series. The 1.x series has entered bugfix-only maintenance mode, and will stay that way as long as there is demand, and a willingness to maintain it. .. _v200-new-transports: New Transports ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * ``django-kombu`` is now part of Kombu core. The Django message transport uses the Django ORM to store messages. It uses polling, with a default polling interval of 5 seconds. The polling interval can be increased or decreased by configuring the ``KOMBU_POLLING_INTERVAL`` Django setting, which is the polling interval in seconds as an int or a float. Note that shorter polling intervals can cause extreme strain on the database: if responsiveness is needed you shall consider switching to a non-polling transport. To use it you must use transport alias ``"django"``, or as an URL:: django:// and then add ``kombu.transport.django`` to ``INSTALLED_APPS``, and run ``manage.py syncdb`` to create the necessary database tables. **Upgrading** If you have previously used ``django-kombu``, then the entry in ``INSTALLED_APPS`` must be changed from ``djkombu`` to ``kombu.transport.django``:: INSTALLED_APPS = (…, 'kombu.transport.django') If you have previously used django-kombu, then there is no need to recreate the tables, as the old tables will be fully compatible with the new version. * ``kombu-sqlalchemy`` is now part of Kombu core. This change requires no code changes given that the ``sqlalchemy`` transport alias is used. .. _v200-news: News ---- * :class:`kombu.mixins.ConsumerMixin` is a mixin class that lets you easily write consumer programs and threads. See :ref:`examples` and :ref:`guide-consumers`. * SQS Transport: Added support for SQS queue prefixes (Issue #84). The queue prefix can be set using the transport option ``queue_name_prefix``:: BrokerTransport('SQS://', transport_options={ 'queue_name_prefix': 'myapp'}) Contributed by Nitzan Miron. * ``Producer.publish`` now supports automatic retry. Retry is enabled by the ``reply`` argument, and retry options set by the ``retry_policy`` argument:: exchange = Exchange('foo') producer.publish(message, exchange=exchange, retry=True, declare=[exchange], retry_policy={ 'interval_start': 1.0}) See :meth:`~kombu.Connection.ensure` for a list of supported retry policy options. * ``Producer.publish`` now supports a ``declare`` keyword argument. This is a list of entities (:class:`Exchange`, or :class:`Queue`) that should be declared before the message is published. .. _v200-fixes: Fixes ----- * Redis transport: Timeout was multiplied by 1000 seconds when using ``select`` for event I/O (Issue #86). .. _version-1.5.1: 1.5.1 ===== :release-date: 2011-11-30 01:00 P.M GMT :by: Ask Solem * Fixes issue with ``kombu.compat`` introduced in 1.5.0 (Issue #83). * Adds the ability to disable content_types in the serializer registry. Any message with a content type that is disabled will be refused. One example would be to disable the Pickle serializer: >>> from kombu.serialization import registry # by name >>> registry.disable('pickle') # or by mime-type. >>> registry.disable('application/x-python-serialize') .. _version-1.5.0: 1.5.0 ===== :release-date: 2011-11-27 06:00 P.M GMT :by: Ask Solem * kombu.pools: Fixed a bug resulting in resources not being properly released. This was caused by the use of ``__hash__`` to distinguish them. * Virtual transports: Dead-letter queue is now disabled by default. The dead-letter queue was enabled by default to help application authors, but now that Kombu is stable it should be removed. There are after all many cases where messages should just be dropped when there are no queues to buffer them, and keeping them without supporting automatic cleanup is rather considered a resource leak than a feature. If wanted the dead-letter queue can still be enabled, by using the ``deadletter_queue`` transport option:: >>> x = Connection('redis://', ... transport_options={'deadletter_queue': 'ae.undeliver'}) In addition, an :class:`UndeliverableWarning` is now emitted when the dead-letter queue is enabled and a message ends up there. Contributed by Ionel Maries Cristian. * MongoDB transport now supports Replicasets (Issue #81). Contributed by Ivan Metzlar. * The ``Connection.ensure`` methods now accepts a ``max_retries`` value of 0. A value of 0 now means *do not retry*, which is distinct from :const:`None` which means *retry indefinitely*. Contributed by Dan McGee. * SQS Transport: Now has a lowercase ``sqs`` alias, so that it can be used with broker URLs (Issue #82). Fix contributed by Hong Minhee * SQS Transport: Fixes KeyError on message acknowledgements (Issue #73). The SQS transport now uses UUID's for delivery tags, rather than a counter. Fix contributed by Brian Bernstein. * SQS Transport: Unicode related fixes (Issue #82).

Fix contributed by Pavel Skvazh .. _version-1.4.1: 1.4.1 ===== :release-date: 2011-09-26 04:00 P.M BST :by: Ask Solem * 1.4.0 broke the producer pool, resulting in new connections being established for every acquire. .. _version-1.4.0: 1.4.0 ===== :release-date: 2011-09-22 05:00 P.M BST :by: Ask Solem * Adds module :mod:`kombu.mixins`. This module contains a :class:`~kombu.mixins.ConsumerMixin` class that can be used to easily implement a message consumer thread that consumes messages from one or more :class:`kombu.Consumer` instances. * New example: :ref:`task-queue-example` Using the ``ConsumerMixin``, default channels and the global connection pool to demonstrate new Kombu features. * MongoDB transport did not work with MongoDB >= 2.0 (Issue #66) Fix contributed by James Turk. * Redis-py version check did not account for beta identifiers in version string. Fix contributed by David Ziegler. * Producer and Consumer now accepts a connection instance as the first argument. The connections default channel will then be used. In addition shortcut methods has been added to Connection:: >>> connection.Producer(exchange) >>> connection.Consumer(queues=..., callbacks=...) * Connection has aquired a ``connected`` attribute that can be used to check if the connection instance has established a connection. * ``ConnectionPool.acquire_channel`` now returns the connections default channel rather than establising a new channel that must be manually handled. * Added ``kombu.common.maybe_declare`` ``maybe_declare(entity)`` declares an entity if it has not previously been declared in the same process. * :func:`kombu.compat.entry_to_queue` has been moved to :mod:`kombu.common` * New module :mod:`kombu.clocks` now contains an implementation of Lamports logical clock. .. _version-1.3.5: 1.3.5 ===== :release-date: 2011-09-16 06:00 P.M BST :by: Ask Solem * Python 3: AMQP_PROTOCOL_HEADER must be bytes, not str. .. _version-1.3.4: 1.3.4 ===== :release-date: 2011-09-16 06:00 P.M BST :by: Ask Solem * Fixes syntax error in pools.reset .. _version-1.3.3: 1.3.3 ===== :release-date: 2011-09-15 02:00 P.M BST :by: Ask Solem * pools.reset did not support after forker arguments. .. _version-1.3.2: 1.3.2 ===== :release-date: 2011-09-10 01:00 P.M BST :by: Mher Movsisyan * Broke Python 2.5 compatibility by importing ``parse_qsl`` from ``urlparse`` * Connection.default_channel is now closed when connection is revived after connection failures. * Pika: Channel now supports the ``connection.client`` attribute as required by the simple interface. * pools.set_limit now raises an exception if the limit is lower than the previous limit. * pools.set_limit no longer resets the pools. .. _version-1.3.1: 1.3.1 ===== :release-date: 2011-10-07 03:00 P.M BST * Last release broke after fork for pool reinitialization. * Producer/Consumer now has a ``connection`` attribute, giving access to the :class:`Connection` of the instance. * Pika: Channels now have access to the underlying :class:`Connection` instance using ``channel.connection.client``. This was previously required by the ``Simple`` classes and is now also required by :class:`Consumer` and :class:`Producer`. * Connection.default_channel is now closed at object revival. * Adds kombu.clocks.LamportClock. * compat.entry_to_queue has been moved to new module :mod:`kombu.common`. .. _version-1.3.0: 1.3.0 ===== :release-date: 2011-10-05 01:00 P.M BST * Broker connection info can be now be specified using URLs The broker hostname can now be given as an URL instead, of the format:: transport://user:password@hostname:port/virtual_host for example the default broker is expressed as:: >>> Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//') Transport defaults to amqp, and is not required. user, password, port and virtual_host is also not mandatory and will default to the corresponding transports default. .. note:: Note that the path component (virtual_host) always starts with a forward-slash. This is necessary to distinguish between the virtual host '' (empty) and '/', which are both acceptable virtual host names. A virtual host of '/' becomes: amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672// and a virtual host of '' (empty) becomes:: amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/ So the leading slash in the path component is **always required**. * Now comes with default global connection and producer pools. The acquire a connection using the connection parameters from a :class:`Connection`:: >>> from kombu import Connection, connections >>> connection = Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost//') >>> with connections[connection].acquire(block=True): ... # do something with connection To acquire a producer using the connection parameters from a :class:`Connection`:: >>> from kombu import Connection, producers >>> connection = Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost//') >>> with producers[connection].acquire(block=True): ... producer.publish({'hello': 'world'}, exchange='hello') Acquiring a producer will in turn also acquire a connection from the associated pool in ``connections``, so you the number of producers is bound the same limit as number of connections. The default limit of 100 connections per connection instance can be changed by doing:: >>> from kombu import pools >>> pools.set_limit(10) The pool can also be forcefully closed by doing:: >>> from kombu import pools >>> pool.reset() * SQS Transport: Persistence using SimpleDB is now disabled by default, after reports of unstable SimpleDB connections leading to errors. * :class:`Producer` can now be used as a context manager. * ``Producer.__exit__`` now properly calls ``release`` instead of close. The previous behavior would lead to a memory leak when using the :class:`kombu.pools.ProducerPool` * Now silences all exceptions from `import ctypes` to match behaviour of the standard Python uuid module, and avoid passing on MemoryError exceptions on SELinux-enabled systems (Issue #52 + Issue #53) * ``amqp`` is now an alias to the ``amqplib`` transport. * ``kombu.syn.detect_environment`` now returns 'default', 'eventlet', or 'gevent' depending on what monkey patches have been installed. * Serialization registry has new attribute ``type_to_name`` so it is possible to lookup serializater name by content type. * Exchange argument to ``Producer.publish`` can now be an :class:`Exchange` instance. * ``compat.Publisher`` now supports the ``channel`` keyword argument. * Acking a message on some transports could lead to :exc:`KeyError` being raised (Issue #57). * Connection pool: Connections are no long instantiated when the pool is created, but instantiated as needed instead. * Tests now pass on PyPy. * ``Connection.as_uri`` now includes the password if the keyword argument ``include_password`` is set. * Virtual transports now comes with a default ``default_connection_params`` attribute. .. _version-1.2.1: 1.2.1 ===== :release-date: 2011-07-29 12:52 P.M BST * Now depends on amqplib >= 1.0.0. * Redis: Now automatically deletes auto_delete queues at ``basic_cancel``. * ``serialization.unregister`` added so it is possible to remove unwanted seralizers. * Fixes MemoryError while importing ctypes on SELinux (Issue #52). * ``Connection.autoretry`` is a version of ``ensure`` that works with arbitrary functions (i.e. it does not need an associated object that implements the ``revive`` method. Example usage: .. code-block:: python channel = connection.channel() try: ret, channel = connection.autoretry(send_messages, channel=channel) finally: channel.close() * ``ConnectionPool.acquire`` no longer force establishes the connection. The connection will be established as needed. * ``Connection.ensure`` now supports an ``on_revive`` callback that is applied whenever the connection is re-established. * ``Consumer.consuming_from(queue)`` returns True if the Consumer is consuming from ``queue``. * ``Consumer.cancel_by_queue`` did not remove the queue from ``queues``. * ``compat.ConsumerSet.add_queue_from_dict`` now automatically declared the queue if ``auto_declare`` set. .. _version-1.2.0: 1.2.0 ===== :release-date: 2011-07-15 12:00 P.M BST * Virtual: Fixes cyclic reference in Channel.close (Issue #49). * Producer.publish: Can now set additional properties using keyword arguments (Issue #48). * Adds Queue.no_ack option to control the no_ack option for individual queues. * Recent versions broke pylibrabbitmq support. * SimpleQueue and SimpleBuffer can now be used as contexts. * Test requirements specifies PyYAML==3.09 as 3.10 dropped Python 2.4 support * Now properly reports default values in Connection.info/.as_uri .. _version-1.1.6: 1.1.6 ===== :release-date: 2011-06-13 04:00 P.M BST * Redis: Fixes issue introduced in 1.1.4, where a redis connection failure could leave consumer hanging forever. * SQS: Now supports fanout messaging by using SimpleDB to store routing tables. This can be disabled by setting the `supports_fanout` transport option: >>> Connection(transport='SQS', ... transport_options={'supports_fanout': False}) * SQS: Now properly deletes a message when a message is acked. * SQS: Can now set the Amazon AWS region, by using the ``region`` transport option. * amqplib: Now uses `localhost` as default hostname instead of raising an error. .. _version-1.1.5: 1.1.5 ===== :release-date: 2011-06-07 06:00 P.M BST * Fixes compatibility with redis-py 2.4.4. .. _version-1.1.4: 1.1.4 ===== :release-date: 2011-06-07 04:00 P.M BST * Redis transport: Now requires redis-py version 2.4.4 or later. * New Amazon SQS transport added. Usage: >>> conn = Connection(transport='SQS', ... userid=aws_access_key_id, ... password=aws_secret_access_key) The environment variables :envvar:`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and :envvar:`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` are also supported. * librabbitmq transport: Fixes default credentials support. * amqplib transport: Now supports `login_method` for SSL auth. :class:`Connection` now supports the `login_method` keyword argument. Default `login_method` is ``AMQPLAIN``. .. _version-1.1.3: 1.1.3 ===== :release-date: 2011-04-21 16:00 P.M CEST * Redis: Consuming from multiple connections now works with Eventlet. * Redis: Can now perform channel operations while the channel is in BRPOP/LISTEN mode (Issue #35). Also the async BRPOP now times out after 1 second, this means that cancelling consuming from a queue/starting consuming from additional queues has a latency of up to one second (BRPOP does not support subsecond timeouts). * Virtual: Allow channel objects to be closed multiple times without error. * amqplib: ``AttributeError`` has been added to the list of known connection related errors (:attr:`Connection.connection_errors`). * amqplib: Now converts :exc:`SSLError` timeout errors to :exc:`socket.timeout` (http://bugs.python.org/issue10272) * Ensures cyclic references are destroyed when the connection is closed. .. _version-1.1.2: 1.1.2 ===== :release-date: 2011-04-06 16:00 P.M CEST * Redis: Fixes serious issue where messages could be lost. The issue could happen if the message exceeded a certain number of kilobytes in size. It is recommended that all users of the Redis transport should upgrade to this version, even if not currently experiencing any issues. .. _version-1.1.1: 1.1.1 ===== :release-date: 2011-04-05 15:51 P.M CEST * 1.1.0 started using ``Queue.LifoQueue`` which is only available in Python 2.6+ (Issue #33). We now ship with our own LifoQueue. .. _version-1.1.0: 1.1.0 ===== :release-date: 2011-04-05 01:05 P.M CEST .. _v110-important: Important Notes --------------- * Virtual transports: Message body is now base64 encoded by default (Issue #27). This should solve problems sending binary data with virtual transports. Message compatibility is handled by adding a ``body_encoding`` property, so messages sent by older versions is compatible with this release. However -- If you are accessing the messages directly not using Kombu, then you have to respect the ``body_encoding`` property. If you need to disable base64 encoding then you can do so via the transport options:: Connection(transport='...', transport_options={'body_encoding': None}) **For transport authors**: You don't have to change anything in your custom transports, as this is handled automatically by the base class. If you want to use a different encoder you can do so by adding a key to ``Channel.codecs``. Default encoding is specified by the ``Channel.body_encoding`` attribute. A new codec must provide two methods: ``encode(data)`` and ``decode(data)``. * ConnectionPool/ChannelPool/Resource: Setting ``limit=None`` (or 0) now disables pool semantics, and will establish and close the resource whenever acquired or released. * ConnectionPool/ChannelPool/Resource: Is now using a LIFO queue instead of the previous FIFO behavior. This means that the last resource released will be the one acquired next. I.e. if only a single thread is using the pool this means only a single connection will ever be used. * Connection: Cloned connections did not inherit transport_options (``__copy__``). * contrib/requirements is now located in the top directory of the distribution. * MongoDB: Now supports authentication using the ``userid`` and ``password`` arguments to :class:`Connection` (Issue #30). * Connection: Default autentication credentials are now delegated to the individual transports. This means that the ``userid`` and ``password`` arguments to Connection is no longer *guest/guest* by default. The amqplib and pika transports will still have the default credentials. * :meth:`Consumer.__exit__` did not have the correct signature (Issue #32). * Channel objects now have a ``channel_id`` attribute. * MongoDB: Version sniffing broke with development versions of mongod (Issue #29). * New environment variable :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_CONNECTION` will now emit debug log messages for connection related actions. :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_DEBUG` will also enable :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_CONNECTION`. .. _version-1.0.7: 1.0.7 ===== :release-date: 2011-03-28 05:45 P.M CEST * Now depends on anyjson 0.3.1 cjson is no longer a recommended json implementation, and anyjson will now emit a deprecation warning if used. * Please note that the Pika backend only works with version 0.5.2. The latest version (0.9.x) drastically changed API, and it is not compatible yet. * on_decode_error is now called for exceptions in message_to_python (Issue #24). * Redis: did not respect QoS settings. * Redis: Creating a connection now ensures the connection is established. This means ``Connection.ensure_connection`` works properly with Redis. * consumer_tag argument to ``Queue.consume`` can't be :const:`None` (Issue #21). A None value is now automatically converted to empty string. An empty string will make the server generate a unique tag. * Connection now supports a ``transport_options`` argument. This can be used to pass additional arguments to transports. * Pika: ``drain_events`` raised :exc:`socket.timeout` even if no timeout set (Issue #8). .. version-1.0.6: 1.0.6 ===== :release-date: 2011-03-22 04:00 P.M CET * The ``delivery_mode`` aliases (persistent/transient) were not automatically converted to integer, and would cause a crash if using the amqplib transport. * Redis: The redis-py :exc:`InvalidData` exception suddenly changed name to :exc:`DataError`. * The :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_DEBUG` environment variable can now be set to log all channel method calls. Support for the following environment variables have been added: * :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_CHANNEL` will wrap channels in an object that logs every method call. * :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_DEBUG` both enables channel logging and configures the root logger to emit messages to standard error. **Example Usage**:: $ KOMBU_LOG_DEBUG=1 python >>> from kombu import Connection >>> conn = Connection() >>> channel = conn.channel() Start from server, version: 8.0, properties: {u'product': 'RabbitMQ',.............. } Open OK! known_hosts [] using channel_id: 1 Channel open >>> channel.queue_declare('myq', passive=True) [Kombu channel:1] queue_declare('myq', passive=True) (u'myq', 0, 1) .. _version-1.0.5: 1.0.5 ===== :release-date: 2011-03-17 04:00 P.M CET * Fixed memory leak when creating virtual channels. All virtual transports affected (redis, mongodb, memory, django, sqlalchemy, couchdb, beanstalk). * Virtual Transports: Fixed potential race condition when acking messages. If you have been affected by this, the error would show itself as an exception raised by the OrderedDict implementation. (``object no longer exists``). * MongoDB transport requires the ``findandmodify`` command only available in MongoDB 1.3+, so now raises an exception if connected to an incompatible server version. * Virtual Transports: ``basic.cancel`` should not try to remove unknown consumer tag. .. _version-1.0.4: 1.0.4 ===== :release-date: 2011-02-28 04:00 P.M CET * Added Transport.polling_interval Used by django-kombu to increase the time to sleep between SELECTs when there are no messages in the queue. Users of django-kombu should upgrade to django-kombu v0.9.2. .. _version-1.0.3: 1.0.3 ===== :release-date: 2011-02-12 04:00 P.M CET * ConnectionPool: Re-connect if amqplib connection closed * Adds ``Queue.as_dict`` + ``Exchange.as_dict``. * Copyright headers updated to include 2011. .. _version-1.0.2: 1.0.2 ===== :release-date: 2011-01-31 10:45 P.M CET * amqplib: Message properties were not set properly. * Ghettoq backend names are now automatically translated to the new names. .. _version-1.0.1: 1.0.1 ===== :release-date: 2011-01-28 12:00 P.M CET * Redis: Now works with Linux (epoll) .. _version-1.0.0: 1.0.0 ===== :release-date: 2011-01-27 12:00 P.M CET * Initial release .. _version-0.1.0: 0.1.0 ===== :release-date: 2010-07-22 04:20 P.M CET * Initial fork of carrot
