consistent robust pypi-cache
----------------------------------------

You can point ``pip or easy_install`` to the ``root/pypi/+simple/``
index, serving as a self-updating transparent cache for pypi-hosted
**and** external packages.  Cache-invalidation uses the latest and
greatest PyPI protocols.  The cache index continues to serve when
offline and will resume cache-updates once network is available.

github-style indexes
---------------------------------

Each user can have multiple indexes and upload packages and docs via
standard ``setup.py`` invocations.  Users, indexes (and soon projects
and releases) are manipulaed through a RESTful HTTP API.

index inheritance
--------------------------

Each index can be configured to merge in other indexes so that it serves
both its uploads and all releases from other index(es).  For example, an
index using ``root/pypi`` as a parent is a good place to test out a
release candidate before you push it to PyPI.

good defaults and easy deployment
---------------------------------------

Get started easily and create a permanent devpi-server deployment
including pre-configured templates for ``nginx`` and cron. 

separate tool for Packaging/Testing activities
-------------------------------------------------------

The complimentary `devpi-client <http://pypi.python.org/devpi-client>`_ tool
helps to manage users, indexes, logins and typical setup.py-based upload and
installation workflows.

See http://doc.devpi.net for getting started and documentation.



Changelog
=========

2.5.3 (2015-11-23)
------------------

- fix a bug that resulted from accessing a non-existing project on 
  root/pypi where upstream does not contain the X-PYPI-LAST-SERIAL
  header usually.  Thanks Matthias Bach.

2.5.2 (2015-11-20)
------------------

- recognize "pex" for redirections of user/index/NAME to
  user/index/+simple/NAME just like we do with pip/setuptools.

- fix py2 incompatibility introduced with 2.5.1 where we used
  a unicode header and pyramid only likes str-headers.

2.5.1 (2015-11-20)
------------------

- fix issue289: fix simple page serving on replicas


2.5.0 (2015-11-19)
------------------

- fix a regression of 2.3.0 which would cause many write-transactions
  for mirrored simple-page entries that didn't change.  Previous to the fix,
  accesses to mirrored simple pages will result in a new
  write-transaction every 30 minutes if the page is accessed which
  is likely on a somewhat busy site.  If you running with replicas
  it is recommended to do an an export/import cycle to remove all 
  the unneccessary writes that were produced since devpi-server-2.3.0.
  They delay the setup of new replicas considerably.

- add info about pypi_whitelist on simple page when root/pypi is blocked for
  a project.

- replica simple-page serving will not unneccessarily wait for new 
  simple-page entries to arrive at the replication side if the master 
  does not return any changes in the initial simple-page request.
  Previously a replica would wait for the replication-thread to catch
  up even if no links changed.

- fix setup.py to work on py34 and with LANG="C" environments.
  Thanks Jason R. Coombs.

- fix issue284: allow users who are listed in acl_upload to delete packages


2.4.0 (2015-11-11)
------------------

- NOTE: devpi-server-2.4 is compatible to data from devpi-server-2.3 but
  not the other way round.  Once you run devpi-server-2.4 you can not go
  back. It's always a good idea to make a backup before trying a new version :)

- NOTE: if you use ``--logger-cfg`` with .yaml files you will need to
  install pyyaml yourself as devpi-server-2.4 dropped it as a direct
  dependency as it does not install for win32/python3.5 and is 
  not needed for devpi-server operations except for logging configuration.
  Specifying a ``*.json`` file always works.

- add timeout to replica requests

- fix issue275: improve error message when a serverdir exists but has no
  version

- improve testing mechanics and name normalization related to storing doczips

- refine keyfs to provide lazy deep readonly-views for
  dict/set/list/tuple types by default.  This introduces safety because
  users (including plugins) of keyfs-values can only write/modify a value
  by explicitly getting it with readonly=False (thereby deep copying it)
  and setting it with the transaction.  It also allows to avoid unnecessary
  copy-operations when just reading values.

- fix issue283: pypi cache didn't work for replicas.

- performance improvements for simple pages with lots of releases.
  this also changed the db layout of the caching from pypi.python.org mirrors
  but will seamlessly work on older data, see NOTE at top.

- add "--profile-requests=NUM" option which turns on per-request
  profiling and will print out after NUM requests are executed
  and then restart profiling.

- fix tests for pypy. We officially support pypy now.
