[2025] Releasing version 3.0.0

[amotl]

About

We are intending to release Responder 3.0.0.

Notes

• responder 3.0.0 is largely compatible with responder 2.0.0,
  and unlocks using it with Python 3.11 and higher.
• All subsystems have been refactored to be true extensions,
  see responder.ext.{cli,graphql,openapi,schema}.

Details

What's inside

Maintenance

Currently, the package can't be installed on current systems, i.e. Python 3.11+.
The next release intends to improve this situation.

• Uvicorn version too old ? #470
• Vulnerability in referenced starlette version #496
• Can't install on Debian bookworm with Python >= 3.11 #518
• New release pending? / Python >= 3.11 need a compiler when installing #522
• Maintenance 2024-10 #525

Code wrangling

Some subsystem modules got lost on the main branch.
Those patches bring them back into responder.ext.

• Feature: Bring back CLI interface #547
  • CLI 2024: Re-add command line interface #549
  • CLI 2025: Use pueblo.sfa for responder run #576
• Feature: Bring back GraphQL extension #551
  • GraphQL: Re-add extension and dependencies (2024) #554
• Feature: Bring back OpenAPI extension
  • OpenAPI: Refactor module to responder.ext.openapi #555

The documentation is on RTD now.

• Using Read the Docs #564
