[Kludex]

Hi there 👋

You want the next Starlette release? Help me to review the checklist. :)

Checklist

• Add WebSocketException and support for WS handlers #1263
• Add Mount(..., middleware=[...]) #1649 [APPROVED]
• Add AsyncTemplateResponse to Jinja2Templates #1701 postponing to 0.22.0.
• Replace HTTP client on TestClient from requests to httpx #1376 [APPROVED]
• Replace task cancellation in BaseHTTPMiddleware with http.disconnect+recv_stream.close #1715
• A formatter to migrate from requests to httpx based TestClient. This is mainly to help our users to migrate. 🙏 Good enough: https://github.com/Kludex/bump-testclient/
• Add official support for Python 3.11 #1863
• Implement __repr__ for route classes #1864

The checklist is to make a decision, not necessarily to accept it. 🙏

That's big!

That's big!

Should we make a release with what we have?

@tomchristie Can you invite @alex-oleshkevich to encode, please? 🙏

Is there any schedule? It would be valuable for 3rd-party to predict when a new release happens. Currently it seems it is pretty random.

Any member has the power to create a release.

Which kind of predictability are you referring to? Like, is there any package in the Python ecosystem that have this?

It could be like the first day of each month if there are enough changes to include.

Django has 6 month cycle, Ubuntu does so. Starlette while at version 0.* may have more frequent releases.

May case: I am hungry to see new test client and middleware in Mount So I can remove hacks from my library. I basically want to see a date when I can do that :)

I think that's something to consider for when Starlette is on 1.0+.

I'll try to speed up. 🥺 🙏
