minicorn 1.1.0 - ASGI Support

A major feature release introducing full ASGI 3.0 support, bringing minicorn into the async world alongside the existing WSGI server.

New Features

  • ASGI 3.0 Server - Full support for async ASGI applications (FastAPI, Starlette, Quart, etc.) built on Python's asyncio
  • Concurrent Request Handling - Async I/O enables handling multiple requests concurrently without threading
  • HTTP/1.1 for ASGI - Complete HTTP/1.1 implementation for ASGI apps including keep-alive, chunked transfer encoding, and streaming
  • ASGI Lifespan Protocol - Supports lifespan.startup and lifespan.shutdown events for proper app initialization/cleanup
  • CLI --asgi Flag - Simple toggle to switch between WSGI and ASGI mode: 
    minicorn fastapi_app:app --asgi
  • Auto-reload for ASGI - The --reload flag works seamlessly with ASGI applications too

Changes

  • Dual Server Architecture - minicorn now ships with two server cores:
    • minicorn.wsgi_server - Synchronous WSGI server (unchanged from 0.1.0)
    • minicorn.asgi_server - New async ASGI server
  • Updated Exports - New serve_asgi() and run_asgi() functions available from the minicorn package

Quick Start (ASGI)

# Install
pip install minicorn

# Run a FastAPI app
minicorn main:app --asgi

# Run with custom host/port and auto-reload
minicorn main:app --asgi --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 --reload

Notes

  • ASGI support is marked as BETA in this release
  • The WSGI server remains fully stable and unchanged
  • Requires Python 3.10+
