* CPython 3.14 is now fully supported. (#2413)
* Although the Falcon 4.x series is only guaranteed to support Python 3.10+,
this release still supports 3.8 & 3.9 at runtime using the pure Python wheel.
* Falcon 4.2 is expected to drop the end-of-life Python 3.8 completely (but
runtime support will continue for 3.9 on a best effort basis).
* StaticRoute now renders Etag headers. It also checks If-None-Match in requests
and returns HTTP 304 response if appropriate. (#2243)
* StaticRoute now sets the Last-Modified header when serving static files. The
improved implementation also checks the value of the If-Modified-Since header,
and renders an HTTP 304 response when the requested file has not been modified. (#2244)
* Similar to create_environ(), the create_scope() testing helper now preserves the
raw URI path, and propagates it to the created ASGI connection scope as the
raw_path byte string (according to the ASGI specification). (#2262)
* Two new media_type constants, falcon.MEDIA_CSV and falcon.MEDIA_PARQUET, were
added in order to provide better support for Python data analysis applications
out of the box. (#2335)
* Support for allowing cross-origin private network access was added to the built-in
CORSMiddleware. The new feature is off by default, and can be enabled by passing
the keyword argument allow_private_network=True to CORSMiddleware during
initialization. (#2381)
* The falcon.secure_filename() utility function can now ensure that the length of the
sanitized filename does not exceed the requested limit (passed via the max_length
argument). In addition, a new option, max_secure_filename_length, was added to
MultipartParseOptions in order to automatically populate this argument when
referencing a body part’s secure_filename. (#2420)
* The unset_cookie() method now accepts a same_site parameter (with underscore) for
consistency with set_cookie(). The previous samesite parameter (without underscore)
is now deprecated (referencing it will emit a deprecation warning). (#2453)
* A new method, __rich__, has been added to falcon.testing.Result for facilitating
