2.0.2 Release Notes

Channels 2.0.2 is a patch release of Channels, fixing a bug in the database connection handling.

As always, when updating Channels make sure to also update its dependencies (asgiref and daphne) as these also get their own bugfix updates, and some bugs that may appear to be part of Channels are actually in those packages.

New Features

  • There is a new channels.db.database_sync_to_async wrapper that is like sync_to_async but also closes database connections for you. You can read more about usage in Database Access.

Bugfixes

  • SyncConsumer and all its descendant classes now close database connections when they exit.

Backwards Incompatible Changes

None.
