I'm very happy to release txtorcon 0.19.0. This merges most of the
development that happened over the last several months on the
release-1.x branch. Featuring:
* Full Python3 support (and universal wheels)
* Drop txsocksx and use a custom implementation (this also implements
the custom Tor SOCKS5 methods RESOLVE and RESOLVE_PTR). Uses
Automat for the state-machine.
* Drop support for older Twisted releases (12, 13 and 14 are no
longer supported).
* Add a top-level API object (txtorcon.Tor) that abstracts a running
Tor. Instances of this class are created with txtorcon.connect or
txtorcon.launch. These instances are intended to be "the"
high-level API and most users shouldn't need anything else.
* Integrated support for twisted.web.client.Agent, baked into
txtorcon.Tor. This allows simple, straightforward use of treq or
"raw" twisted.web.client for making client-type Web requests via
Tor. Automatically handles configuration of SOCKS ports.
* new high-level API for putting streams on specific Circuits. This
adds txtorcon.Circuit.stream_via and txtorcon.Circuit.web_agent
methods that work the same as the "Tor" equivalent methods except
they use a specific circuit. This makes
txtorcon.TorState.set_attacher the "low-level" / "expert"
interface. Most users should only need the new API.
* big revamp / re-write of the documentation, including the new
Programming Guide:
https://txtorcon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide.html
* Issue 203: https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon/issues/203
* new helper: txtorcon.Router.get_onionoo_details which downloads
JSON for a particular relay from OnionOO
* new helper: txtorcon.util.create_tbb_web_headers which returns
headers resembling a recent Tor Browser suitable for use with
Twisted or treq web agents.
* Issue 72: https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon/issues/72
* Specific SocksError subclasses for all the available SOCKS5 errors
added by https://github.com/felipedau
* (more) Python3 fixes from https://github.com/rodrigc
