v0.1.0

Initial release of Pounce — a free-threading-native ASGI server for Python 3.14t.

Highlights

• Free-threading native — Worker threads sharing one interpreter on 3.14t, automatic fallback to processes on GIL builds
• Full protocol support — HTTP/1.1 (h11 or httptools), HTTP/2 (h2), WebSocket (wsproto), TLS
• Compression — zstd (stdlib PEP 784) + gzip content negotiation, zero external dependencies
• Streaming-first — Body chunks sent immediately to socket, never buffered
• Multi-worker — Supervisor with health monitoring, crash detection, automatic restart
• Dev reload — File watcher with hot module reimport
• Observability — Structured lifecycle events with Server-Timing headers
• Pure Python — No Rust, no C extensions in the server core
• 426+ tests passing across unit, integration, and ASGI 3.0 compliance suites
