PyCA cryptography 1.9 released
by Paul Kehrer May 30, 2017

May 30, 2017

PyCA cryptography 1.8 (and 1.8.1) has been released to PyPI. cryptography includes both high level recipes and low level interfaces to common cryptographic algorithms such as symmetric ciphers, message digests, and key derivation functions. We support Python 2.6-2.7, Python 3.3+, and PyPy. Changelog: * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Elliptic Curve signature verification no longer returns True on success. This brings it in line with the interface’s documentation, and our intent. The correct way to use verify() has always been to check whether or not InvalidSignature was raised. * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Dropped support for macOS 10.7 and 10.8. * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: The minimum supported PyPy version is now 5.3. * Python 3.3 support has been deprecated, and will be removed in the next cryptography release. * Add support for providing tag during GCM finalization via finalize_with_tag(). * Fixed an issue preventing cryptography from compiling against LibreSSL 2.5.x. * Added key_size convenience methods for determining the bit size of a secret scalar for an elliptic curve. * Accessing an unrecognized extension marked critical on an X.509 object will no longer raise an UnsupportedExtension exception, instead an UnrecognizedExtension object will be returned. This behavior was based on a poor reading of the RFC, unknown critical extensions only need to be rejected on certificate verification. * The CommonCrypto backend has been removed. * MultiBackend has been removed. * Whirlpool and RIPEMD160 have been deprecated. Thanks to all the contributors for their hard work on this release! -Paul Kehrer (reaperhulk)

ANN: firehose-0.5 released
by David Malcolm May 26, 2017

May 26, 2017

"firehose" is a Python package intended for managing the results from code analysis tools (e.g. compiler warnings, static analysis, linters, etc). It provides parsers for the output of various tools, including for the output of gcc, clang-analyzer, cppcheck, and findbugs. These parsers convert the results into a common data model of Python objects, with methods for lossless roundtrips through a provided XML format. There is also a JSON equivalent. It is available on pypi here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/firehose and via git from: https://github.com/fedora-static-analysis/firehose The mailing list is: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/firehose-devel Firehose is Free Software, licensed under the LGPLv2.1 or (at your option) any later version. It requires Python 2.7 or 3.2 onwards, and has been successfully tested with PyPy. Changes since 0.5: * Added Sphinx-based documentation (David Malcolm) Prebuilt docs can be seen at http://firehose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html * Added parser for flawfinder (David Carlos de Araujo Silva) * Added parser for splint (David Malcolm) * Parser for clang analyzer now captures version information, testid, and other per-issue data (David Malcolm) Enjoy!

Nikola v7.8.6 is out!
by Chris Warrick May 26, 2017

May 26, 2017

On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Nikola v7.8.6. It fixes some bugs and adds new features. What is Nikola? =============== Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python. It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn Jupyter (IPython) Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image galleries, and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds are extremely fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what has been changed). Find out more at the website: https://getnikola.com/ Downloads ========= Install using `pip install Nikola` or download tarballs on GitHub and PyPI: https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/releases/tag/v7.8.6 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Nikola/7.8.6 Or if you prefer, Snapcraft packages are now built automatically, and Nikola v7.8.6 will be available in the stable channel. Changes ======= Features -------- * Guess file format from file name on new_post (Issue #2798) * Use BaguetteBox as lightbox in base theme (Issue #2777) * New ``deduplicate_ids`` filter, for preventing duplication of HTML ``id`` attributes (Issue #2570) * Ported gallery image layout to base theme (Issue #2775) * Better error handling when posts can't be parsed (Issue #2771) * Use ``.theme`` files to store theme metadata (Issue #2758) * New ``add_header_permalinks`` filter, for Sphinx-style header links (Issue #2636) * Added alternate links for gallery translations (Issue #993) Bugfixes -------- * Use ``locale.getdefaultlocale()`` for better locale guessing (credit: @madduck) * Save dependencies for template hooks properly (using ``.__doc__`` or ``.template_registry_identifier`` for callables) * Enable larger panorama thumbnails (Issue #2780) * Disable ``archive_rss`` link handler, which was useless because no such RSS was ever generated (Issue #2783) * Ignore files ending wih "bak" (Issue #2740) * Use page.tmpl by default, which is inherited from story.tmpl (Issue #1891) Other ----- * Limit Jupyter support to notebook >= 4.0.0 (it already was in requirements-extras.txt; Issue #2733) -- Chris Warrick

ANNOUNCE: Mailman 3.1.0 final!
by Barry Warsaw May 25, 2017

May 25, 2017

Hello Mailpeople! On behalf of the entire team and all our wonderful contributors, I'm happy to announce the release of GNU Mailman 3.1 final. My deep thanks go to all the Mailman project sprinters at Pycon 2017 for getting us over the line! Two years after the original release of Mailman 3.0, this version contains a huge number of improvements across the entire stack. Many bugs have been fixed and new features added in the Core, Postorius (web u/i), and HyperKitty (archiver). Upgrading from Mailman 2.1 should be better too. We are seeing more production sites adopt Mailman 3, and we've been getting great feedback as these have rolled out. Important: mailman-bundler, our previous recommended way of deploying Mailman 3, has been deprecated. Abhilash Raj is putting the finishing touches on Docker images to deploy everything, and he'll have a further announcement in a week or two. Feedback is welcome: https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman What is GNU Mailman? GNU Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists. Mailman is integrated with the web, making it easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists. Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, and more. Mailman 3 is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 3. The best places to start for all things related to this release: http://docs.mailman3.org/ http://www.list.org/ https://gitlab.com/mailman (Note: due to timezone skew, some of the tarballs may not be available on PyPI until tomorrow.) Happy Mailman Day, -Your friendly neighborhood cabal An overview of what's new in Mailman 3.1 ======================================== Feature parity with Mailman 2.1 ------------------------------- * You should be able to do just about everything that you could do in Mailman 2.1 *except* for topics and sibling/umbrella lists. Core ---- * Added support for Python 3.5 and 3.6 * MySQL is now an officially supported database * Many improvements with importing Mailman 2.1 lists * DMARC mitigations have been added, based on, but different than the same feature in Mailman 2.1 * The REST API requires HTTP/1.1 * A new REST API version (3.1) has been added which changes how UUIDs are interpreted, fixing the problem for some JavaScript libraries * Many new REST resources and methods have been added * Individual mailing lists can augment the system's header matching rules * `mailman create` now creates missing domains by default * `mailman digests` now has `--verbose` and `--dry-run` options * `mailman shell` now supports readline history * `mailman members` can filter members based on their subscription roles * A new template system has been added for all messages originating from inside Mailman. * The Message-ID-Hash header replaces X-Message-ID-Hash * New placeholders have been added for headers and footers * Unsubscriptions can now be confirmed and/or moderated Postorius/HyperKitty -------------------- * General U/I and U/X improvements * Many more features from the Core's have been plumbed through * We've adopted Django social auth logins and dropped Persona (since it's no longer supported upstream). You can now log in via Facebook, Google, GitHub, and GitLab. Backward incompatibilities -------------------------- * Core/REST: Held message resources now have an `original_subject` key that is not RFC 2047 decoded. `subject` is now RFC 2047 decoded. * Core/REST: If you've run pre-release versions from git head, and stored welcome and goodbye templates via REST, the template key names have changed backward incompatibility.
