Release Notes
=============
.. towncrier release notes start
py-libp2p v0.2.9 (2025-07-09)
-----------------------------
Breaking Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Reordered the arguments to ``upgrade_security`` to place ``is_initiator`` before ``peer_id``, and made ``peer_id`` optional.
This allows the method to reflect the fact that peer identity is not required for inbound connections. (`#681 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/681>`__)
Bugfixes
~~~~~~~~
- Add timeout wrappers in:
1. ``multiselect.py``: ``negotiate`` function
2. ``multiselect_client.py``: ``select_one_of`` , ``query_multistream_command`` functions
to prevent indefinite hangs when a remote peer does not respond. (`#696 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/696>`__)
- Align stream creation logic with yamux specification (`#701 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/701>`__)
- Fixed an issue in ``Pubsub`` where async validators were not handled reliably under concurrency. Now uses a safe aggregator list for consistent behavior. (`#702 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/702>`__)
Features
~~~~~~~~
- Added support for ``Kademlia DHT`` in py-libp2p. (`#579 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/579>`__)
- Limit concurrency in ``push_identify_to_peers`` to prevent resource congestion under high peer counts. (`#621 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/621>`__)
- Store public key and peer ID in peerstore during handshake
Modified the InsecureTransport class to accept an optional peerstore parameter and updated the handshake process to store the received public key and peer ID in the peerstore when available.
Added test cases to verify:
1. The peerstore remains unchanged when handshake fails due to peer ID mismatch
2. The handshake correctly adds a public key to a peer ID that already exists in the peerstore but doesn't have a public key yet (`#631 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/631>`__)
- Fixed several flow-control and concurrency issues in the ``YamuxStream`` class. Previously, stress-testing revealed that transferring data over ``DEFAULT_WINDOW_SIZE`` would break the stream due to inconsistent window update handling and lock management. The fixes include:
- Removed sending of window updates during writes to maintain correct flow-control.
- Added proper timeout handling when releasing and acquiring locks to prevent concurrency errors.
- Corrected the ``read`` function to properly handle window updates for both ``read_until_EOF`` and ``read_n_bytes``.
- Added event logging at ``send_window_updates`` and ``waiting_for_window_updates`` for better observability. (`#639 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/639>`__)
- Added support for ``Multicast DNS`` in py-libp2p (`#649 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/649>`__)
- Optimized pubsub publishing to send multiple topics in a single message instead of separate messages per topic. (`#685 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/685>`__)
- Optimized pubsub message writing by implementing a write_msg() method that uses pre-allocated buffers and single write operations, improving performance by eliminating separate varint prefix encoding and write operations in FloodSub and GossipSub. (`#687 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/687>`__)
- Added peer exchange and backoff logic as part of Gossipsub v1.1 upgrade (`#690 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/690>`__)
Internal Changes - for py-libp2p Contributors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Added sparse connect utility function to pubsub test utilities for creating test networks with configurable connectivity. (`#679 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/679>`__)
- Added comprehensive tests for pubsub connection utility functions to verify degree limits are enforced, excess peers are handled correctly, and edge cases (degree=0, negative values, empty lists) are managed gracefully. (`#707 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/707>`__)
- Added extra tests for identify push concurrency cap under high peer load (`#708 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/708>`__)

Removals
~~~~~~~~
- Removes support for python 3.9 and updates some code conventions, notably using ``|`` operator in typing instead of ``Optional`` or ``Union`` (`#618 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/618>`__)
py-libp2p v0.2.7 (2025-05-22)
-----------------------------
Bugfixes
~~~~~~~~
- ``handler()`` inside ``TCPListener.listen()`` does not catch exceptions thrown during handshaking steps (from ``Sawrm``).
These innocuous exceptions will become fatal and crash the process if not handled. (`#586 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/586>`__)
