-**Pyro 4.52**
-
-- fixed Python 3.6 compatibility issue in name server when using sqlite storage ("cannot VACUUM from within a transaction")
-- fixed Python 3.6 ResourceWarning in unit test
-- Python 3.6 added to travis CI build
-- fixed possible crash on Python 2.x when shutting down a daemon from within a Pyro server object itself (because it tried to join its own thread)
-- sensible error is raised again in client when threadpool server can't accept any more new connections (regression since 4.50)
-- daemon has new ``resetMetadataCache`` method to be used when the set of exposed members of your Pyro class changes during runtime
-- better testcases for properly handling handshake error reasons
-
-
-**Pyro 4.51**
-
-- added PYROMETA magic URI protocol, to look up an object with the given metadata tags (yellow-page lookup rather than by name)
-  Example: ``Pyro4.Proxy("PYROMETA:metatag1,metatag2")``
-- added distributed-computing3 example to show simple work load distribution using PYROMETA object discovery
-- fixed unlikely but possible crash in logging statement when client disconnects from multiplex server
-
-
-**Pyro 4.50**
-
-- new ITER_STREAM_LINGER config item to keep streams alive for a given period after proxy disconnect (defaults to 30 sec.)
-- new NS_AUTOCLEAN config item to set a recurring period in seconds where the Name server checks its registrations.
-  It will then auto cleanup registrations after a short while if they're no longer available. (defaults to 0.0 - disabled).
-- Future can now be given a delay before it is evaluated
-- Future can now be cancelled (if it hasn't been evalued yet)
-
-
-**Pyro 4.49**
-
-- added iterator item streaming support. It is now possible to return iterators from a remote
-  call or even call a remote generator function, and iterate over it in the client.
-  Items will be retrieved on demand from the server.
-- new ITER_STREAMING config item to disable or enable streaming support in the server (default=enabled)
-- new ITER_STREAM_LIFETIME config item to be able to set a maximum lifetime for item streams (default=no limit)
-- the iter streaming is supported for Java and .NET in Pyrolite 4.14 as well
-- new simplified stockquotes example using generators instead of callbacks
-- changed daemon shutdown mechanism again to not use separate thread anymore, fixes thread leak
-- serpent library dependency updated to 1.15
-
-
-**Pyro 4.48**
-
-- The threaded socket server now adapts the number of threads dynamically depending on connection count.
-  This resolves the problem where your clients freeze because the server ran out of free connections
-  When all threads are busy, new connections will fail with an exception.
-- THREADPOOL_SIZE_MIN config item added to specify the min number of threads (defaults to 4)
-- THREADPOOL_SIZE increased to 40 (was 16, and no longer allocates all these threads upfront)
-- THREADPOOL_ALLOW_QUEUE config item removed, it is no longer relevant
-- made the repr strings use semicolons instead of comma as separator to avoid confusion when printed in lists
-- added per proxy serializer override by setting proxy._pyroSerializer
-- added distributed-mandelbrot example that shows ascii animation and picture of the mandelbrot fractal set
-- fixed timeout when locating name server on 127.0.1.1 on systems that don't use that address (osx)
-- fixed ResourceWarning in socketutil.createSocket; socket that could not be connected is properly closed now
-
-
-**Pyro 4.47**
-
-- *Backwards incompatible change:* As announced in the previous version, the instance_mode and instance_creator
-  parameters have now been removed from the @expose decorator.  Use @behavior to specify them instead on your classes.
-- The default instance mode when using @expose on the class and not using @behavior, is now also 'session'
-  (was 'single').   Note that when you used @behavior with its default argument or only @expose on methods,
-  the instance mode of the class already was 'session'.
-  If your code really requires the pyro object to be a singleton, add an explicit
-  @behavior(instance_mode="single") to that class. You can already start doing this while still using Pyro 4.46 and
-  then upgrade the library once you've converted everything.
-- Name server lookup now also considers 127.0.1.1 when trying to find a name server on localhost.
-  This is convenient on some systems (Debian Linux) where 127.0.1.1 is often the address assigned
-  to the local system via the hosts file.
-- fixed multiplex server shutdown sometimes hanging
-- fixed crash that sometimes occurred in daemon shutdown
-- fixed crash that sometimes occurred when releasing and reconnecting the proxy from different threads
-
-
-**Pyro 4.46**
-
-.. note::
-    Compatibility issue:
-    The change mentioned below about ``@expose`` now being required by default
-    requires a change in your (server-)code or configuration. Read on for details.
-
-.. note::
-    Using ``@expose(...)`` on a class to set the ``instance_mode`` or/and ``instance_creator`` for that
-    class, also exposes ALL methods of that class. That is an unintended side-effect that will be fixed
-    in the next Pyro version. You can already fix your code right now to prepare for this. Read on for details.
-
-- ``@Pyro4.behavior`` decorator added that should now be used to set instance_mode and instance_creator instead of
-  using ``@Pyro4.expose``.  You can still use ``@expose`` in this release, but its arguments will be removed
-  in the next Pyro version.  So by then you have to have updated your code or it won't run anymore.
-  The fix is simple: replace all occurences of ``@expose(...)`` *where you set the ``instance_mode`` or/and ``instance_creator``*
-  on your Pyro class, by ``@behavior(...)`` -- and add new ``@expose`` decorations to the class or the methods
-  as required to properly expose them. Also read the next bullet.
-- *Backwards incompatible behavior change:* in the spirit of 'secure by default', it's now required to use ``@expose``
-  on things you want to expose via Pyro. This is because the REQUIRE_EXPOSE config item is now True by default.
-  The "servers" chapter contains details about this and how you can best approach this upgrade issue.
-- blobtransfer example added.
-- improved the docs on binary data transfer a bit.
-- code now uses set literals instead of old fashioned set([...])
-- removed the way outdated 'upgrading from Pyro3' chapter from the documentation.
-- Pyro4.util.get_exposed_members now has a cache which speeds up determining object metadata enormously on subsequent connections.
-- added paragraph to server chapter in documentation about how to expose classes without changing the source code (such as 3rd party libraries)
-- added thirdpartylib example for the above
-
-
-**Pyro 4.45**
-
-- Dependency fix in setup/wheel/pip for selectors34 module.
-
-
-**Pyro 4.44**
-
-- *Behavior change:* when the threadpool server is used and it runs out of worker threads, clients attempting to connect
-  now get a connection error telling them that the server threadpool has to be increased.
-  On python 3.2 and newer a short timeout is used for the case that in the meantime a connection becomes available.
-- THREADPOOL_ALLOW_QUEUE config item added. Enables you to choose for the previous
-  blocking behavior when the threadpool server can no longer accept new connections. Defaults to False.
-  *note: this is a temporary solution, in the next release a different threadpool implementation will be shipped
-  for which this config item is no longer relevant. It will be removed again then.*
-- Fixed 'malformed string' error when a Python 2 client talks to a Python 3 server;
-  proxy metadata and nameserver metadata tags are no longer returned as a set but as a list.
-  (This problem occurs in the serpent serializer because of a problem with the underlying ast.literal_eval function
-  across different python versions)
-- improved multiplex server, now uses best available selector on your platform (kqueue, epoll, etc)
-  This was done by using the 'selectors' module, on older pythons (<3.4)
-  the backport 'selectors34' has been added as a new requirement.
-- added selector property on the daemon (to expose the multiplexing selector if that servertype is used).
-- Added Daemon.combine() which merges different daemons' request loops and lets you just run the 'master daemon' requestLoop
-- fixed import and test problems with IronPython (it doesn't like the dill serializer either, like pypy)
-- Improved security when comparing HMAC codes (against timing attacks)
-- added 'diffie-hellman' example to shows a way to approach server-client agreement on a shared secret key
-- a few IronPython releated changes regarding str/bytes to decrease the number of special cases
-
-
-**Pyro 4.43**
-
-- improved docs on instance modes and instance creation
-- improved cleanup of objects with instance_mode 'session', fixes possible memory leak
-- fixed float vs None bug in rare situation when connecting socket gets a retryable error
-
-
-**Pyro 4.42**
-
-- added dill serialization support (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dill)
-- fixed dotted attribute client code in the ``attributes`` example
-- handles EINTR signal and will continue the server loop now in this case, on Python 3.4 and newer.
-- fixed async proxy calls not being done async, when metadata is used
-
-
-**Pyro 4.41**
-
-- fixed uri parsing bug in locateNS when trying to locate name server via unix domain socket
-- fixed IronPython crash with Pyro4.core.current_context
-- got rid of __slots__ on the URI class
-- fixed output of nsc metadata string on Python 2.x
-- sock_reuse option is now default on
-- daemon now logs its pid when starting
-- poll-server error handling now reflects the select server (swallow error when shutting down)
-
-
-**Pyro 4.40**
-
-- added python 3.5 to supported versions and configs
-- support for metadata added to the name server (list of strings per registration).
-  This provides a service like yellow-pages where you can query on category (for instance).
-  You need to use memory or sqlite storage for this; the dbm storage doesn't support it.
-- name server also has a new method set_metadata(), to set new metadata for an existing registration
-- nsc tool has new commands to deal with metadata in the name server: setmeta, listmeta_all and listmeta_any
-- removed obsolete stdinstdout example, it depended on exposing private attributes and Pyro hasn't allowed this anymore for quite some time (4.27)
-- removed a problematic ipv6 unittest, and an often-failing workaround to determine the ipv6 address
-- added ``current_context.client_sock_addr`` containing the address of the client doing the call
-- current_context is now correct for oneway calls and async calls
-- fixed some __copy__ methods to correctly deal with possible subclassing (Proxy)
-
-
-**Pyro 4.39**
-
-- dropped support for Python 2.6 and Python 3.2. Supported versions are now 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and up.
-- better exception when message size exceeds 2 gigabyte limit
-- mentioned the 2 gigabyte message size limit in the docs
-- added auto retry mechanism, MAX_RETRIES config item, and autoretry example.
-- API CHANGE: the instance_creator function passed to @expose now get the class as a single parameter when invoked by Pyro
-- removed test suite dependencies on unittest2 (was used for Python 2.6)
-- greatly improved the messagebus example, it now contains a persistent storage as well
-- can now deserialize sqlite3 exceptions as well (without the need of registering custom class serializers)
-- serialized proxies now gets the timeout and retries properties from the active config settings rather than from the serialized data
-- new MessageTooLargeError when the max message size is exceeded (subclesses ProtocolError, which was the old error thrown in this case)
-
-
-**Pyro 4.38**
-
-.. note::
-    The below mentioned wire protocol change is backwards-incompatible.
-    You have to update all your pyro libraries on clients and servers.
-    (And Pyrolite libraries if you use them too)
-
-- wire protocol version changed to 48 (new connection logic).
-- changed the initial connection handshake protocol. Proxy and daemon now perform a handshake by exchanging data.
-  You can set your own data on the proxy attribute ``_pyroHandshake``. You can override a proxy method ``_pyroValidateHandshake``
-  and a daemon method ``validateHandshake`` to customize/validate the connection setup.
-- drastically reduced the overhead of creating a new proxy connection by piggybacking the metadata on the
-  connection response (this avoids a separate remote call to get_metadata). New proxy connections are ~50% faster.
-- added ``Daemon.clientDisconnect()`` as a hook for when clients disconnect (``Daemon.validateHandshake`` can
-  be used as the hook to handle new connections)
-- you can now register a class on the Daemon instead of an object, and define instancing strategy: singleton, session, percall
-- you can provide an optional factory method to create instances of your pyro server class when needed according to the instancing_strategy
-- added handshake, instancemode and usersession examples
-- added distributed-computing2 example
-- added messagebus example
-- fixed callcontext example daemon to actually return a custom annotation
-- fixed benchmark/connections example
-- httpgateway recognises ``X-Pyro-Correlation-Id`` http header on requests
-- new mailing list address (``[email protected]``).  Bye bye Sourceforge.
