New features:

`BlockingConnection.consume` now returns `(None, None, None)` when
inactivity timeout is reached
([PR](https://github.com/pika/pika/pull/901))

`BlockingConnection` now supports the `add_callback_threadsafe` method
which allows a function to be executed correctly on the IO loop thread.
The main use-case for this is as follows:

-   Application sets up a thread for `BlockingConnection` and calls
    `basic_consume` on it
-   When a message is received, work is done on another thread
-   When the work is done, the worker uses
    `connection.add_callback_threadsafe` to call the `basic_ack` method
    on the channel instance.

Please see `examples/basic_consumer_threaded.py` for an example. As
always, `SelectConnection` and a fully async consumer/publisher is the
preferred method of using Pika.

Heartbeats are now sent at an interval equal to 1/2 of the negotiated
idle connection timeout. RabbitMQ\'s default timeout value is 60
seconds, so heartbeats will be sent at a 30 second interval. In
addition, Pika\'s check for an idle connection will be done at an
interval equal to the timeout value plus 5 seconds to allow for delays.
This results in an interval of 65 seconds by default.

High-level summary of notable changes:

-   Change to 3-Clause BSD License
-   Python 3.x support
-   Over 150 commits from 19 contributors
-   Refactoring of SelectConnection ioloop
-   This major release contains certain non-backward-compatible API
    changes as well as significant performance improvements in the
    [BlockingConnection]{.title-ref} adapter.
-   Non-backward-compatible changes in
    [Channel.add_on_return_callback]{.title-ref} callback\'s signature.
-   The [AsyncoreConnection]{.title-ref} adapter was retired

**Details**

Python 3.x: this release introduces python 3.x support. Tested on Python
3.3 and 3.4.

\`AsyncoreConnection\`: Retired this legacy adapter to reduce
maintenance burden; the recommended replacement is the
[SelectConnection]{.title-ref} adapter.

\`SelectConnection\`: ioloop was refactored for compatibility with other
ioloops.

\`Channel.add_on_return_callback\`: The callback is now passed the
individual parameters channel, method, properties, and body instead of a
tuple of those values for congruence with other similar callbacks.

\`BlockingConnection\`: This adapter underwent a makeover under the hood
and gained significant performance improvements as well as enhanced
timer resolution. It is now implemented as a client of the
[SelectConnection]{.title-ref} adapter.

Below is an overview of the [BlockingConnection]{.title-ref} and
[BlockingChannel]{.title-ref} API changes:

> -   Recursion: the new implementation eliminates callback recursion
>     that sometimes blew out the stack in the legacy implementation
>     (e.g., publish -\> consumer_callback -\> publish -\>
>     consumer_callback, etc.). While
>     [BlockingConnection.process_data_events]{.title-ref} and
>     [BlockingConnection.sleep]{.title-ref} may still be called from
>     the scope of the blocking adapter\'s callbacks in order to process
>     pending I/O, additional callbacks will be suppressed whenever
>     [BlockingConnection.process_data_events]{.title-ref} and
>     [BlockingConnection.sleep]{.title-ref} are nested in any
>     combination; in that case, the callback information will be
>     bufferred and dispatched once nesting unwinds and control returns
>     to the level-zero dispatcher.
>
> -   \`BlockingConnection.connect\`: this method was removed in favor
>     of the constructor as the only way to establish connections; this
>     reduces maintenance burden, while improving reliability of the
>     adapter.
>
> -   \`BlockingConnection.process_data_events\`: added the optional
>     parameter [time_limit]{.title-ref}.
>
> -   \`BlockingConnection.add_on_close_callback\`: removed; legacy
>     raised [NotImplementedError]{.title-ref}.
>
> -   \`BlockingConnection.add_on_open_callback\`: removed; legacy
>     raised [NotImplementedError]{.title-ref}.
>
> -   \`BlockingConnection.add_on_open_error_callback\`: removed; legacy
>     raised [NotImplementedError]{.title-ref}.
>
> -   \`BlockingConnection.add_backpressure_callback\`: not supported
>
> -   \`BlockingConnection.set_backpressure_multiplier\`: not supported
>
> -   \`BlockingChannel.add_on_flow_callback\`: not supported; per
>     docstring in channel.py: \"Note that newer versions of RabbitMQ
>     will not issue this but instead use TCP backpressure\".
>
> -   \`BlockingChannel.flow\`: not supported
>
> -   \`BlockingChannel.force_data_events\`: removed as it is no longer
>     necessary following redesign of the adapter.
>
> -   Removed the [nowait]{.title-ref} parameter from
>     [BlockingChannel]{.title-ref} methods, forcing
>     [nowait=False]{.title-ref} (former API default) in the
>     implementation; this is more suitable for the blocking nature of
>     the adapter and its error-reporting strategy; this concerns the
>     following methods: [basic_cancel]{.title-ref},
>     [confirm_delivery]{.title-ref}, [exchange_bind]{.title-ref},
>     [exchange_declare]{.title-ref}, [exchange_delete]{.title-ref},
>     [exchange_unbind]{.title-ref}, [queue_bind]{.title-ref},
>     [queue_declare]{.title-ref}, [queue_delete]{.title-ref}, and
>     [queue_purge]{.title-ref}.
>
> -   \`BlockingChannel.basic_cancel\`: returns a sequence instead of
>     None; for a [no_ack=True]{.title-ref} consumer,
>     [basic_cancel]{.title-ref} returns a sequence of pending messages
>     that arrived before broker confirmed the cancellation.
>
> -   \`BlockingChannel.consume\`: added new optional kwargs
>     [arguments]{.title-ref} and [inactivity_timeout]{.title-ref}.
>     Also, raises ValueError if the consumer creation parameters don\'t
>     match those used to create the existing queue consumer generator,
>     if any; this happens when you break out of the consume loop, then
>     call [BlockingChannel.consume]{.title-ref} again with different
>     consumer-creation args without first cancelling the previous queue
>     consumer generator via [BlockingChannel.cancel]{.title-ref}. The
>     legacy implementation would silently resume consuming from the
>     existing queue consumer generator even if the subsequent
>     [BlockingChannel.consume]{.title-ref} was invoked with a different
>     queue name, etc.
>
> -   \`BlockingChannel.cancel\`: returns 0; the legacy implementation
>     tried to return the number of requeued messages, but this number
>     was not accurate as it didn\'t include the messages returned by
>     the Channel class; this count is not generally useful, so
>     returning 0 is a reasonable replacement.
>
> -   \`BlockingChannel.open\`: removed in favor of having a single
>     mechanism for creating a channel
>     ([BlockingConnection.channel]{.title-ref}); this reduces
>     maintenance burden, while improving reliability of the adapter.
>
> -   \`BlockingChannel.confirm_delivery\`: raises UnroutableError when
>     unroutable messages that were sent prior to this call are returned
>     before we receive Confirm.Select-ok.
>
> -   [BlockingChannel.basic_publish: always returns True when delivery
>     confirmation is not enabled (publisher-acks = off); the legacy
>     implementation returned a bool in this case if
>     \`mandatory=True]{.title-ref} to indicate whether the message was
>     delivered; however, this was non-deterministic, because
>     Basic.Return is asynchronous and there is no way to know how long
>     to wait for it or its absence. The legacy implementation returned
>     None when publishing with publisher-acks = off and
>     [mandatory=False]{.title-ref}. The new implementation always
>     returns True when publishing while publisher-acks = off.
>
> -   
>
>     \`BlockingChannel.publish\`: a new alternate method (vs. [basic_publish]{.title-ref}) for
>
>     :   publishing a message with more detailed error reporting via
>         UnroutableError and NackError exceptions.
>
> -   \`BlockingChannel.start_consuming\`: raises
>     pika.exceptions.RecursionError if called from the scope of a
>     [BlockingConnection]{.title-ref} or [BlockingChannel]{.title-ref}
>     callback.
>
> -   \`BlockingChannel.get_waiting_message_count\`: new method; returns
>     the number of messages that may be retrieved from the current
>     queue consumer generator via [BasicChannel.consume]{.title-ref}
>     without blocking.

## 0.9.13 - 2013-05-15

[0.9.13](https://github.com/pika/pika/compare/0.9.12...0.9.13)

**Major Changes**

-   IPv6 Support with thanks to Alessandro Tagliapietra for initial
    prototype
-   Officially remove support for \<= Python 2.5 even though it was
    broken already
-   Drop pika.simplebuffer.SimpleBuffer in favor of the Python stdlib
    collections.deque object
-   New default object for receiving content is a \"bytes\" object which
    is a str wrapper in Python 2, but paves way for Python 3 support
-   New \"Raw\" mode for frame decoding content frames (#334) addresses
    issues #331, #229 added by Garth Williamson
-   Connection and Disconnection logic refactored, allowing for cleaner
    separation of protocol logic and socket handling logic as well as
    connection state management
-   New \"on_open_error_callback\" argument in creating connection
    objects and new Connection.add_on_open_error_callback method
-   New Connection.connect method to cleanly allow for reconnection code
-   Support for all AMQP field types, using protocol specified
    signed/unsigned unpacking

**Backwards Incompatible Changes**

-   Method signature for creating connection objects has new argument
    \"on_open_error_callback\" which is positionally before
    \"on_close_callback\"
-   Internal callback variable names in connection.Connection have been
    renamed and constants used. If you relied on any of these callbacks
    outside of their internal use, make sure to check out the new
    constants.
-   Connection.\_connect method, which was an internal only method is
    now deprecated and will raise a DeprecationWarning. If you relied on
    this method, your code needs to change.
-   pika.simplebuffer has been removed

**Bugfixes**

-   BlockingConnection consumer generator does not free buffer when
    exited (#328)
-   Unicode body payloads in the blocking adapter raises exception
    (#333)
-   Support \"b\" short-short-int AMQP data type (#318)
-   Docstring type fix in adapters/select_connection (#316) fix by
    Rikard Hultén
-   IPv6 not supported (#309)
-   Stop the HeartbeatChecker when connection is closed (#307)
-   Unittest fix for SelectConnection (#336) fix by Erik Andersson
-   Handle condition where no connection or socket exists but
    SelectConnection needs a timeout for retrying a connection (#322)
-   TwistedAdapter lagging behind BaseConnection changes (#321) fix by
    Jan Urbański

**Other**

-   Refactored documentation
-   Added Twisted Adapter example (#314) by nolinksoft

## 0.9.12 - 2013-03-18

[0.9.12](https://github.com/pika/pika/compare/0.9.11...0.9.12)

**Bugfixes**

-   New timeout id hashing was not unique

## 0.9.11 - 2013-03-17

[0.9.11](https://github.com/pika/pika/compare/0.9.10...0.9.11)

**Bugfixes**

-   Address inconsistent channel close callback documentation and add
    the signature change to the TwistedChannel class (#305)

-   Move documentation into its own repository
    <https://github.com/pika/documentation>
-   channel.py

    -   Add default value of None to ChannelTransport.rpc
    -   Validate callback and acceptable replies parameters in
        ChannelTransport.RPC

    -   Change ConnectionParameters initialization parameter heartbeat
        to boolean
    -   Validate all inbound parameter types in ConnectionParameters
    -   Remove the Connection.\_erase_credentials stub method in favor
        of letting the Credentials object deal with that itself.
    -   Warn if the credentials object intends on erasing the
        credentials and a reconnection strategy other than
        NullReconnectionStrategy is specified.

        immediately. New behavior allows you to do so.
    -   Removed overriding of base basic_consume and basic_cancel
        methods. Now uses underlying Channel versions of those methods.
    -   Added start_consuming() method to BlockingChannel to start the
        consumption loop.
    -   Updated stop_consuming() to iterate through all the registered
        consumers in self.\_consumers and issue a basic_cancel.
