Lataa Px 0.11.0

New features
- Added Kerberos ticket management (--kerberos) for Linux and macOS — Px
acquires and renews Kerberos tickets automatically using kinit with the
configured --username and password from PX_PASSWORD or keyring. No keytab
file is created. Addresses #252 and #258.
Bug fixes
- Fixed auth failure recovery when a Kerberos ticket becomes available after Px
startup — clearing MCURL.failed allows previously-blocked proxies to be
retried (#258).
- Fixed --verbose output not appearing in non-TTY environments (e.g. Docker
with workers=1) due to Python block-buffering stdout.
Docker
- Added BUILDER build arg and local builder stage to Dockerfile to support
both CI (pre-built wheel) and local (source tree) builds.
- The full Docker image now requires --cap-add IPC_LOCK — gnome-keyring 48+
(Alpine 3.23+) links libcap-ng which aborts without the IPC_LOCK capability.
Improvements
- Replaced synchronous http.server + threading with asyncio + h11.
CONNECT tunnels now use zero-thread bidirectional relays: TunnelRelay
(FD watchers via add_reader/add_writer) on Linux, and
_async_tunnel_relay (asyncio StreamReader/StreamWriter for the
client side, IOCP-backed sock_recv/sock_sendall for the upstream
libcurl socket) on Windows. Thread count stays bounded at the thread
pool size regardless of active tunnel count.
- Changed --workers default from 2 to 1 — the async event loop handles
concurrency without multiple processes.
- Reduced per-request overhead: double-checked locking in reload_proxy(),
cached get_curl_features() and noproxy_hosts, shallow copy for proxy
server lists, tuples for hot-path membership checks.
- Optimized --verbose logging: skipped file I/O overhead and
process/thread name lookup when --workers=1. Log output is more
compact (timestamp + call tree + message) while retaining diagnostic value.
- Added Winget package support — Px can now be installed on Windows via
winget install genotrance.px. Manifests are submitted automatically on
release via vedantmgoyal9/winget-releaser. Addresses #115, PR #264.
- Documented WinSW service account and environment variable options for
running Px as a Windows service with SSPI or explicit credentials (#259).
Internal
- Added h11 runtime dependency, psutil dev dependency.
- Wired --threads to asyncio default executor pool size.
- Dynamic xdist worker count (-n auto) — auto-scales to hardware via a
platform-aware pytest_xdist_auto_num_workers hook in conftest.py.
- Switched test fixtures and helpers from --debug (file logging) to
--verbose (stdout logging), reducing test suite runtime by ~58%.
- Added concurrency benchmark tests (make benchmark) covering HTTP
throughput, CONNECT tunnel throughput, thread pool saturation, active data
exchange, thread count bounds, and memory bounds. Benchmarks now test up to
1 000–1 024 concurrent connections with sliding success thresholds for
barrier-synchronised active tunnel tests.
- Added large data transfer reliability tests (make test-large-data) with
SHA-256 integrity verification for concurrent multi-MB GET/POST over HTTP
and HTTPS. CI jobs run these on both Linux and Windows.
