- Updated to latest stable version v1.3.3 - Includes performance improvements and bug fixes - Enhanced cmake configuration with better platform support - Added new features: MQTT support, improved HTTP handling 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add proper imports in .pxd files (htimer_t, hio_t, Loop, Server) - Remove nested cdef: blocks in with gil statements - Add _wakeup method declaration in loop.pxd - Remove hv. prefix from types in loop.pyx (use direct imports)
…ore 0.10 Breaking changes: - Drop support for Python 3.8 and 3.9 - Add support for Python 3.13 Build system upgrades: - cython: >=3.0.0 -> >=3.1.0 - scikit-build-core: >=0.5.0 -> >=0.10.0 - CMake: 3.21 -> 3.25 - pytest: >=7.0 -> >=8.0 Version bump: 0.1.0 -> 0.2.0
Rewrite hvloop as a single-compilation-unit Cython extension over libhv's event engine, targeting web-server workloads (FastAPI/ASGI under uvicorn, WebSocket, TLS). Runs on Linux (epoll), macOS (kqueue), Windows (wepoll). Milestones from docs/plans/2026-06-13-hvloop-tech-design.md: - M1: self-driven loop (no hloop_run), scheduling, timers, executors, getaddrinfo/getnameinfo, exception handling, lifecycle. - M2: TCPTransport, create_connection/create_server, Server, add_reader/add_writer, Unix signal handling. - M3: uvicorn + FastAPI HTTP/WebSocket integration, graceful shutdown. - M4: TLS via stdlib asyncio.sslproto, sock_* family, cibuildwheel CI, benchmarks. 149 tests passing. See CLAUDE.md for architecture and core invariants (loop status forcing, wakeup-fd creation, reference discipline, fd ownership, shared readbuf copy).

tests/certs/server.key (1)
1-29: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider generating the test key/cert at test-collection time instead of committing it.
The static-analysis hint correctly identifies a private key, but per
tests/certs/README.mdthis is intentionally a long-lived, non-sensitive, self-signed test fixture, so it's not a real leak. That said, committing a raw PEM private key still risks tripping repo-wide/CI secret scanners (e.g. GitHub secret scanning) even though it's benign, generating alert noise or false "leaked credential" incidents down the line.Since the README's stated goal is avoiding an
opensslCLI dependency at test time, an alternative that keeps both properties is to generate the self-signed cert/key in aconftest.py/session-scoped fixture using thecryptographypackage (pure Python, no CLI, cacheable to a tmp dir for the test session) rather than committing the key material to the repo.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/build.yml:
- Line 1: The Build and Test workflow is using default GitHub token permissions
and persists checkout credentials in multiple jobs, so tighten the workflow
security settings. Add least-privilege permissions at the workflow or job level
for the affected jobs, and update each checkout step in the build/test job
sections to disable persisted credentials. Apply the change consistently across
the jobs referenced in the workflow so all checkouts use the hardened
configuration.
- Around line 63-65: The macOS Intel runner label in the build workflow is
invalid, which can break the wheel job before it starts. Update the
`macos-x86_64` job in the workflow to use a currently supported Intel macOS
runner label, and keep the `archs: x86_64` setting unchanged so the job still
targets Intel builds.
In `@Makefile`:
- Around line 1-2: The Makefile’s .PHONY declaration is missing the ci target,
so add ci to the existing phony list alongside help, install, test, lint, and
the other targets. Update the .PHONY entry that defines the build/tooling
targets so make ci is always treated as a command and cannot be shadowed by a
real ci file or directory.
- Around line 27-29: The default SKBUILD_PROJECT_VERSION is outdated and should
match the version declared elsewhere. Update the Makefile’s
SKBUILD_PROJECT_VERSION default from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0 so dev builds stay aligned
with the package version used by pyproject.toml and the existing build setup.
In `@src/hvloop/hvloop_shim.h`:
- Around line 91-116: The hvloop_sockaddr_info helper returns a non-negative
family for unsupported sockaddr types without populating the ip buffer, which
can leave stale data in callers; update the non-AF_INET/AF_INET6 path in
hvloop_sockaddr_info to ensure ip is set to a safe empty value (and keep
port/flowinfo/scope_id initialized) before returning the family so
get_extra_info callers never read uninitialized address text.
In `@tests/test_smoke.py`:
- Around line 89-94: The task created in the smoke test is not retained, so it
may be garbage-collected before `setter()` completes and calls `ev.set()`.
Update the `asyncio.ensure_future(setter())` usage in the test to keep a strong
reference to the created task and await or otherwise manage it explicitly, using
the `setter` helper and the surrounding event-wait logic to locate the change.

…, 3.10 test) Three distinct failures surfaced only under CI (local dev was macOS/py3.14): - Linux: static libhv linked into the _core shared object needs position-independent code, else "ld: final link failed: bad value". Set CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE ON before add_subdirectory(vendor/libhv). - Windows: the cython-cmake fallback prepended a backslash Windows path to CMAKE_MODULE_PATH, which broke the compiler-ABI try_compile (re-triggered by libhv's project()) with "Syntax error in cmake code ... (set)". Normalize with file(TO_CMAKE_PATH). - Python 3.10: loop.create_task(context=...) is 3.11+ (asyncio parity; our impl correctly raises on 3.10). Gate test_create_task_with_context with skipif.
…trol Windows CI now builds and runs; 6 remaining failures were test-level: - os.fstat() doesn't work on Windows socket handles (not CRT fds); it raised WinError 6 in 4 fd-ownership tests. Replace with sock.getsockname() as the portable "still open" check (liveness is also proven by the send/recv that follows). - Two write flow-control tests assume a large write to a paused peer stays queued (get_write_buffer_size() > 0); on Windows loopback the payload is absorbed by larger default socket buffers so the buffer reads 0. Mark them xfail(strict=False) on win32 and document the unverified Windows backpressure behaviour in CLAUDE.md as an open question for a Windows maintainer. Linux and macOS remain fully green; local (macOS/3.14) suite unaffected.
The macos-13 (Intel) runners are retired: the Wheels: macos-x86_64 job sat in 'queued' forever across three consecutive runs (no runner ever picked it up). Build x86_64 wheels on macos-latest (arm64) instead — cibuildwheel cross-compiles and runs the wheel tests under Rosetta 2. Also add a concurrency group so superseded runs are cancelled instead of piling up behind a stuck queued job.
- ci: least-privilege workflow permissions (contents: read) and persist-credentials: false on all checkouts. - Makefile: add ci to .PHONY, sync default SKBUILD_PROJECT_VERSION to 0.2.0, and fix the stale extension target name (loop -> _core) in build-ext/help. - shim: hvloop_sockaddr_info now null-terminates the ip buffer up front so non-INET/INET6 families can't leak stale stack bytes to a caller that only checks for -1. - tests: hold a strong reference to the ensure_future task in the smoke test (loops track tasks weakly; RUF006).
