0.3.0

Highlights

• Fast HTTP/1.1 parser — Custom_fast_h1.pyreplaces h11 on the sync worker hot path. Direct bytes parsing (~3 µs/req vs ~22 µs for h11) with full safety: method validation, header size limits, null byte/control character injection rejection, duplicate Content-Length detection, and request smuggling prevention (RFC 7230 §3.3.3).
• 30k req/s on pure Python — Sync worker throughput now matches uvicorn through fused parsing, shared request pipeline, and single-pass header scanning.
• Shared request pipeline —prepare_request(), negotiate_compressor(), log_request(), and is_trusted_peer()are shared between Worker and SyncWorker for feature parity and code deduplication.

Added

• _fast_h1.py— Fast HTTP/1.1 parser for sync workers
• _headers.py — Shared get_header()consolidates 7 duplicate copies across modules
• _request_pipeline.py— Shared request pipeline for Worker and SyncWorker
• TCP_NODELAY set on accepted connections inaccept_distributor.py

Changed

• Middleware classification cached —MiddlewareStack.__init__ classifies middleware once via inspect.signatureinstead of per-request
• ConnectionClosed → ConnectionCompleted — Lifecycle event renamed for clarity
• trusted_hosts type — Changed from tuple[str, ...] to frozenset[str]for O(1) lookup with pre-computed wildcard flag
• Single-pass header scanning — Response send path detects Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding in one pass
• OpenTelemetry optimizations — Pre-instantiated propagator, filtered to trace headers only
• Static file header extraction — Single pass over request headers
• Shared socket for thread workers —create_listeners(shared=True)avoids macOS SO_REUSEPORT distribution issues
• Server and supervisor simplified — Streamlined lifecycle state machine and worker spawning
