0.24.0 (6th April, 2023)

Changed

• The logging behaviour has been change to be more in-line with other standard Python logging usages. We no longer have a custom TRACE log level, and we no longer use the HTTPX_LOG_LEVEL environment variable to auto-configure logging. We now have a significant amount of DEBUG logging available at the network level. Full documentation is available at https://www.python-httpx.org/logging/ (Use standard logging style #2547, Add DEBUG level logging. httpcore#648)
• The Response.iter_lines() method now matches the stdlib behaviour and does not include the newline characters. It also resolves a performance issue. (Change LineDecoder to match stdlib splitlines, resulting in significant speed up #2423)
• Query parameter encoding switches from using + for spaces and %2F for forward slash, to instead using %20 for spaces and treating forward slash as a safe, unescaped character. This differs from requests, but is in line with browser behavior in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Both options are RFC valid. (Use '%20' for encoding spaces in query parameters. #2543)
• NetRC authentication is no longer automatically handled, but is instead supported by an explicit httpx.NetRCAuth() authentication class. See the documentation at https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/#netrc-support (Drop private import of 'encode_request' in test_multipart #2525)

Removed

• The rfc3986 dependancy has been removed. (Drop rfc3986 requirement. #2252)
