Bump falcon from 2.0.0 to 4.0.2

[dependabot]

Bumps falcon from 2.0.0 to 4.0.2.

Release notes

Sourced from falcon's releases.

4.0.2

Falcon 4.0.2 is a minor point release (following the major Falcon 4.0.0 release, and Falcon 4.0.1 bugfix) to fix some missed re-exports for type checkers. In addition, we have also included a couple of documentation improvements.

🐍 Falcon 4.0.2 on PyPI

Fixed

Running Mypy on code that uses parts of falcon.testing would previously lead to errors like:

Name "falcon.testing.TestClient" is not defined

This has been fixed by explicitly exporting the names that are imported into the falcon.testing namespace. (#2387)

Misc

The printable PDF version of our documentation was enabled on Read the Docs. (#2365)

4.0.1

Falcon 4.0.1 is a minor point release addressing a Python distribution issue in Falcon 4.0.0.

Fixed

Installing Falcon 4.0.0 unexpectedly copies many unintended directories from the source tree to the venv’s site-packages. This issue has been rectified, and our CI has been extended with new tests (that verify what is actually installed from the distribution) to make sure this regression does not resurface. (#2384)

4.0.0

We are happy to present Falcon 4.0, a new major version of the framework that brings a couple of commonly requested features including support for matching multiple path segments (using PathConverter), and a fully typed codebase. (Please read more about typing in the notes on RtD.)

🐍 Falcon 4.0.0 on PyPI 📚 Changelog on RtD

The timeframe for Falcon 4.0 was challenging due to the need to balance our high standards with the CPython 3.13 timeline. We aimed to deliver the main development branch in this release, without resorting to another compatibility micro update (as we did with Falcon 3.1.1-3.1.3). Following community feedback, we also want to improve our overall release schedule by shipping smaller increments more often. To support this goal, we have made several tooling and testing improvements: the build process for binary wheels has been simplified using cibuildwheel, and our test suite now only requires pytest as a hard dependency. Additionally, you can run pytest against our tests from any directory. We hope that these changes should also benefit packaging Falcon in Linux distributions.

As with every SemVer major release, we have removed a number of previously deprecated functions, classes, compatibility shims, as well as made other potentially breaking changes that we could not risk in a minor version. If you have been paying attention the deprecation warnings from the 3.x series, the impact should be minimal, but please do take a look at the list of breaking changes on RtD.

This release would not have been possible without the numerous contributions from our community. This release alone comprises a number of pull requests submitted by a group of 30 talented individuals. What is more, we were particularly impressed by the high-quality discussions and code submissions during our EuroPython 2024 Sprint. Some notable sprint contributions include CHIPS support, and a new WebSocket Tutorial, among others. In fact, according to the statistics on GitHub, we are thrilled to report that the total number of Falcon contributors has now exceeded 200. We find it fascinating that our framework has become a collaborative effort involving so many individuals, and would like to thank everyone who has made this release possible!

4.0.0rc1

We are almost ready to release Falcon 4.0! :snake: 4.0.0rc1 on PyPI 📚 Changelog on RtD

We would greatly appreciate it if you could help us with the final round of testing on your apps (pip install falcon==4.0.0rc1), and let us know if you run into any issues!

Thank You!

4.0.0b4

Falcon 4.0.0b4 is hopefully the final beta release of Falcon 4.0. Compared to 4.0.0b3, we have made the timezone-aware datetime breaking changes more consistent, and documented the scope clearer.

🐍 4.0.0b4 on PyPI 📚 Changelog on RtD

Please test this beta release with your apps (pip install falcon==4.0.0b4), and let us know if you run into any issues!

Release Manager's Guide

Release Process:

1. Bump version (including the suffix for pre-release, if applicable).
2. Update changelog and render towncrier fragments.
3. Release beta or rc.
4. Run benchmark and check for regressions.
5. Review and edit doc changes since the last release for clarity and consistency.
6. Publish final version and add a release note.
7. Run benchmark and update falconframework.org with latest numbers.
8. Announce the new version in Gitter channels and on the socials.
9. Improve this document.

Bump version

Modify falcon/version.py if it has not been updated since the previous release. Examine the rendered changelog to determine the appropriate SEMVER field to modify.

Note that we have dropped setup.cfg altogether, so __version__ in falcon/version.py must contain the whole version (including the previously separately managed tag_build), for instance:

# Development version
__version__ = '4.0.0.dev1'
First alpha
version = '4.0.0a1'
Release candidate
version = '4.0.0rc1'
Stable release
version = '4.0.0'

Update changelog filename in pyproject.toml to suit.

Update changelog and render towncrier fragments

If a changelog RST has not yet been created, add one under docs/changes using the following template, and update the summary and changes to supported platforms to suit:
