Unreleased

  • Nothing (yet)!

2.1.1 - 2024-10-27

Fixed

  • Make sure WSGI SlicedFile is closed properly to prevent subtle bugs.

2.1.0 - 2024-10-02

Added

  • Support Python 3.13.

Changed

  • Query strings are now preserved during HTTP redirection.

2.0.1 - 2024-09-13

Fixed

  • Fix crash when running manage.py collectstatic when Django's settings.py:STATIC_ROOT is a Path object.

2.0.0 - 2024-09-12

Added

  • Django settings.py:SERVESTATIC_USE_MANIFEST will allow ServeStatic to use the Django manifest rather than scanning the filesystem.
    • When also using ServeStatic's CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage backend, ServeStatic will no longer need to call os.stat.

Changed

  • Minimum python version is now 3.9.
  • Django setings.py:SERVESTATIC_USE_FINDERS will now discover files strictly using the finders API. Previously, ServeStatic would also scan settings.py:STATIC_ROOT for files not found by the finders API.
  • Async file reading is now done via threads rather than aiofiles due recent performance tests.
  • BaseServeStatic has been renamed to ServeStaticBase.
  • AsgiFileServer has been renamed to FileServerASGI.

Added

  • Verbose Django 404 error page when settings.py:DEBUG is True

Fixed

  • Fix Django compatibility with third-party sync middleware.
    • ServeStatic Django middleware now only runs in async mode to avoid clashing with Django's internal usage of asgiref.AsyncToSync.
