# What's new in Tornado 4.0.2
### Sept 10, 2014
### Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause a timeout to fire after beingcancelled.
- [`AsyncTestCase`](# "tornado.testing.AsyncTestCase") once again passes along arguments to test methods,making it compatible with extensions such as Nose's test generators.
- [`StaticFileHandler`](# "tornado.web.StaticFileHandler") can again compress its responses when gzip is enabled.
- `simple_httpclient` passes its `max_buffer_size` argument to theunderlying stream.
- Fixed a reference cycle that can lead to increased memory consumption.
- [`add_accept_handler`](# "tornado.netutil.add_accept_handler") will now limit the number of times it will call[`accept`](https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/socket.html#socket.socket.accept "(in Python v3.4)") [https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/socket.html#socket.socket.accept] per [`IOLoop`](# "tornado.ioloop.IOLoop") iteration, addressing a potentialstarvation issue.
- Improved error handling in [`IOStream.connect`](# "tornado.iostream.IOStream.connect") (primarily for FreeBSDsystems)
