7.1.0

2025-09-17

Enhancements

• 2581_, [Windows]: publish ARM64 wheels. (patch by Matthieu Darbois)
• 2571_, [FreeBSD]: Dropped support for FreeBSD 8 and earlier. FreeBSD 8 was maintained from 2009 to 2013.
• 2575_: introduced dprint CLI tool to format .yml and .md files.

Bug fixes

• 2473_, [macOS]: Fix build issue on macOS 11 and lower.
• 2494_, [Windows]: All APIs dealing with paths, such as Process.memory_maps(), Process.exe() and Process.open_files()_ does not properly handle UNC paths. Paths such as \\??\\C:\\Windows\\Temp and '\\Device\\HarddiskVolume1\\Windows\\Temp' are now converted to C:\\Windows\\Temp. (patch by Ben Peddell)
• 2506_, [Windows]: Windows service APIs had issues with unicode services using special characters in their name.
• 2514_, [Linux]: Process.cwd()_ sometimes fail with FileNotFoundError due to a race condition.
• 2526_, [Linux]: Process.create_time(), which is used to univocally identify a process over time, is subject to system clock updates, and as such can lead to Process.is_running() returning a wrong result. A monotonic creation time is now used instead. (patch by Jonathan Kohler)
• 2528_, [Linux]: Process.children()_ may raise PermissionError. It will now raise AccessDenied_ instead.
• 2540_, [macOS]: boot_time()_ is off by 45 seconds (C precision issue).
• 2541_, 2570_, 2578_ [Linux], [macOS], [NetBSD]: Process.create_time()_ does not reflect system clock updates.
• 2542_: if system clock is updated Process.children()_ and Process.parent()_ may not be able to return the right information.
• 2545_: [Illumos]: Fix handling of MIB2_UDP_ENTRY in net_connections()_.
• 2552_, [Windows]: boot_time()_ didn't take into account the time spent during suspend / hibernation.
• 2560_, [Linux]: Process.memory_maps()_ may crash with IndexError on RISCV64 due to a malformed /proc/{PID}/smaps file. (patch by Julien Stephan)
• 2586_, [macOS], [CRITICAL]: fixed different places in C code which can trigger a segfault.
• 2604_, [Linux]: virtual_memory()_ "used" memory does not match recent versions of free CLI utility. (patch by Isaac K. Ko)
• 2605_, [Linux]: psutil.sensors_battery() reports a negative amount for seconds left.
• 2607_, [Windows]: WindowsService.description() method may fail with ERROR_NOT_FOUND. Now it returns an empty string instead.
• 2610:, [macOS], [CRITICAL]: fix cpu_freq()_ segfault on ARM architectures.
