*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
0.4.X is the last minor version to support the Hixie protocol. 0.5.0
will drop the Hixie protocol support. The latest released version of
all major browsers (and web-socket-js) support the IETF 6455 protocol.
- Other changes: add 'include/' sub-dir to source distribution and to
installed packaged.
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
This is the last minor version to support the Hixie protocol. I may do
bug fixes (e.g. 0.4.1) but 0.5.0 will drop the Hixie protocol support.
The latest released version of all major browsers (and web-socket-js)
support the IETF 6455 protocol.
- Other changes: updating TODO and release process notes.
Make websockify subdirectory and move websocket.py ->
websockify/websocket.py and websockify ->
websockify/websocketproxy.py. Create a ./run script that launches
websockify as before (unfortunately can't have a websockify script at
the same level since this is now a directory). Make websockify.py
a symlink to ./run. Once the package is installed, the main launch
script will be /usr/bin/websockify.
This makes it easier to package up websockify as a python module.
setup.py should now properly install websockify as a module.
Note that to include the base websocket module/class you will now do:
import websockify.websocket
#OR
from websockify.websocket import WebSocketServer
To import the full websocket proxy functionality:
import websockify.websocketproxy
#OR
from websockify.websocket import WebSocketProxy
This will also help with startup speed slightly because the code in
websocketproxy will now be byte compiled since it is no longer in the
main invocation script.
