• WSTransport.wait_disconnected raises WSError exception if disconnect was cause by protocol parsing error.
• Transfer user exception from on_ws_disconnected to wait_disconnected on the client side

1.13.0 (2026-02-14)

• #23: add support for SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HTTP proxies (no support for HTTPS proxy yet)

1.12.0 (2026-02-11)

• #71: add support for HTTP redirects
• Following discussion #68 added raw_header, raw_body and response attributes to WSError exception.
• Added additional checks for URL and WSInvalidURL exception
• Some non-latency critical code has been "de-cythonized" for better debugging experience.
• WSUpgradeRequest, WSUpgradeResponse, WSUpgradeResponseWithListener moved to a pure python module
• Mark picows extension module freethreading compatible

If your picows imports break after upgrading to 1.12.0 make sure you are importing from the package level.
Correct:
from picows import WSListener, WSFrame, WSUpgradeResponse

Wrong:
from picows.picows import WSListener, WSFrame, WSUpgradeResponse

The only exception to this are Cython definitions. You still have to cimport them from picows.picows
from picows.picows cimport WSListener, WSFrame
