1 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.2 to 2.41.3 (codename: "I Left My
2 Deprecated APIs in A Coruña"):
4 * BUILD DEPENDENCY CHANGES: libsoup-gnome no longer depends on
5 libgnome-keyring, and the sqlite3 dependency has been moved
6 from libsoup-gnome to libsoup proper. (See below).
9 * SoupRequest is now stable API. SoupRequester, however, is
10 deprecated. Instead you can now call soup_session_request()
11 or soup_session_request_uri() to create a SoupRequest.
13 Some documentation has been updated to reflect this, but
14 much more still needs to be (in particular the "Client-side
17 * SoupRequestHTTP now has a number of fields and methods that
18 mirror the SoupMessage data, so you don't have to use
19 soup_request_http_get_message() in many cases. On the flip
20 side, there is also now soup_message_get_request(). And you
21 can create a SoupRequestHTTP directly (and override its
22 request method) by using soup_session_request_http() or
23 soup_session_request_http_uri()).
25 * soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() is now deprecated; apps
26 that want to do streaming reads should just use SoupRequest,
27 which is vastly more sane.
30 * SoupPasswordManager is now deprecated, and
31 SoupPasswordManagerGNOME is now a no-op (and libsoup-gnome
32 no longer links against libgnome-keyring). [#594377, #679866]
34 * SoupCookieJarSqlite is now deprecated in favor of
35 SoupCookieJarDB, which is exactly the same thing except that
36 it's in libsoup itself rather than being in libsoup-gnome
37 (something that many people have requested). This means that
38 libsoup now requires sqlite3... if this offends you horribly
39 then you have a few months to speak up...
41 * SoupProxyResolverGNOME is now deprecated; there hasn't been
42 any real reason to use it since SoupProxyResolverDefault was
45 * As a result of the last three items, libsoup-gnome now
46 consists entirely of deprecated APIs, and there is no reason
47 you should use it any more (though packagers need to keep
48 building it, for backward compatibility).
51 * SoupSession is no longer an abstract class, and you can
52 create a plain SoupSession, which behaves in a more
53 traditionally-gio-like way (allowing a mix of sync and async
54 methods, etc). This "plain" SoupSession also has more sane
55 default values of certain properties, and has certain
56 SoupSessionFeatures built in.
58 This will eventually replace SoupSessionAsync and
59 SoupSessionSync completely, but most of the documentation
60 hasn't yet been updated at this point...
62 This change involved merging the majority of the
63 SoupSessionAsync and SoupSessionSync code into SoupSession,
64 getting rid of lots of redundancy in the process. There may
65 be some bug fallout from this (probably on the
66 SoupSessionSync side, since WebKit's tests tend to shake out
67 all SoupSessionAsync bugs). However, this should help to
68 avoid SoupSessionSync-only bugs in the future, since much
69 more of the code is now shared.
72 * Usernames and passwords passed into SoupSession a URI will
73 now be cleared after they're used, so that if they are
74 wrong, the authenticate signal will be emitted on the next
75 round. [#689673, Martin Robinson]
77 * SoupURI now leaves "%00" in URIs as-is, rather than decoding
78 it to "\0", which was not intended and is never useful.
80 * Fixed a bug in SoupBodyOutputStream that could cause libsoup
81 to sometimes use blocking I/O rather than non-blocking when
82 writing chunked message bodies. [#688974, Milan Plzik]
84 * Fixed a bug in SoupFilterInputStream that could cause some
85 non-blocking reads to suck up CPU while waiting for the
86 network. (This was noticed with multipart/x-mixed-replace
87 processing; it's not clear if it affected anything else.)
90 * tests: misc small fixes
93 * New/updated translations:
94 Assamese, Galician, Japanese, Odia, Polish, Spanish
96 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.1 to 2.41.2:
98 * libsoup-2.4.so and libsoup-gnome-2.4.so now only export the
99 symbols that are part of the public API. (Plus, temporarily,
100 one additional symbol, soup_message_io_cleanup, which is
101 used by gvfs and possibly a few other modules, even though
102 it shouldn't be. If you copied soup-input-stream.c from
103 gvfs, you should port your code to use SoupRequest instead.)
106 * Added SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED / SOUP_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
107 macros like the corresponding glib ones, to allow libsoup
108 users to request per-version deprecation/availability
111 * Fixed a crash caused by a race condition in SoupSessionSync,
112 and reorganized some code to avoid other possible similar
113 race conditions. [#684238, Dan]
115 * Fixed a crash when a DNS resolution failed, caused by a bug
116 in the GTask porting in 2.41.1. [#688330, Milan Crha]
118 * Fixed a problem that would cause g_warning()s in epiphany
119 when browsing sites that (incorrectly) returned empty
120 Cache-Control headers. [#683433, Dan]
122 * We now add a Host header to HTTP/1.0 requests as well as
125 * Fixed a bug in the printing of IPv6 address literals in the
126 Host header in SoupLogger. (They were being sent across the
127 wire correctly, they were just printed wrong by SoupLogger.)
130 * Belatedly added soup-multipart-input-stream.h to soup.h.
133 * Removed an evil hack in the long-deprecated
134 SoupProxyResolver code (not to be confused with
135 SoupProxyURIResolver), to avoid warnings with glib master.
136 If you had previously implemented a custom
137 SoupProxyResolver, then it will probably (silently) stop
138 working, but you should have ported it to
139 SoupProxyURIResolver years ago anyway... [Dan, #687659]
141 * Fixed a few race conditions in the test programs that could
142 cause "make check" to fail on slow or heavily-loaded
145 * Further cleaned up and reorganized the internal HTTP I/O
146 codepaths, in preparation for an improved SoupCache.
147 [#682112, Sergio] (This change should not actually be
148 externally noticeable. But if SoupContentDecoder or
149 SoupContentSniffer turns out to be broken in this release,
152 * New/updated translations:
155 Changes in libsoup from 2.40.1 to 2.41.1:
157 * Changed the behavior of NTLM authentication to be more like
158 what other apps apparently do. Now if the user does not
159 specify a domain in the username (eg, "MYDOMAIN\username"),
160 then we will not specify a domain in the NTLM response
161 (rather than assuming that the user is in the server's
162 default domain). People who get broken by this change should
163 be able to fix it by including an explicit domain in their
164 username, but the theory is that no one should get broken by
165 this... If this change does turn out to hurt more than it
166 helps then it may be reverted later. [#624613, Dan, based on
167 a suggestion from David Woodhouse]
169 * Fixed a crash caused by a race condition in SoupSessionSync.
172 * SoupRequest now supports resource:// URIs, for reading from
173 gresource. [#682721, Carlos]
175 * Added new compile-time and runtime APIs for checking the
176 libsoup version. [#684514, Martin Robinson]
178 * Updated to take advantage of (and require) glib 2.35;
179 removed all g_type_init() calls and ported to GTask. [Dan]
181 * Added support for Apache 2.4 to the unit tests. [Dan]
186 Changes in libsoup from 2.40.0 to 2.40.1:
188 * Improved the parsing of multipart/x-mixed-replace responses.
191 * Fixed handling of IPv6 address literals. [#684990, Dan]
193 * New/updated translations:
194 Catalan, Catalan (Valencian), Norwegian bokmål
196 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.92 to 2.40.0:
198 * New/updated translations:
199 Bengali (India), Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Estonian,
200 German, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Latvian, Malayalam,
201 Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Ukranian
203 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.91 to 2.39.92:
205 * Fixed some g_warnings (and a possible crash) with the
206 soup_request_send_async(). [#683404, Dan]
208 * Fixed a hang with SoupSessionSync [#682923, Dan]
210 * Handle empty "Cache-Control" headers. [Sergio]
212 * New/updated translations:
213 Assamese, Belarusian, Brazilian Portuguese, British English,
214 Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, French, Galician,
215 Greek, Gujarati, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Lithuanian,
216 Marathi, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian,
219 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.90 to 2.39.91:
221 * Added missing (transfer full) annotation to
222 soup_cookie_jar_add_cookie() and
223 soup_cookie_jar_add_cookie_with_first_party(), fixing
224 crashes in bindings. [#682554, Daniel Drake]
226 * Fixed a crash [#682569, Alexander Larsson] and a win32 build
227 problem [#683200, Kalev Lember] introduced by the memory
228 leak fixes in 2.39.90
230 * Fixed the SoupMessage:network-event signal, which had been
231 skipping the G_SOCKET_CLIENT_COMPLETE state in tunneled
232 https connections. And added a test for this. [Dan]
234 * New/updated translations:
235 French, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish,
236 Punjabi, Swedish, Tamil
238 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.5 to 2.39.90:
240 * Added SoupMultipartInputStream, for handling multipart
241 responses (particularly multipart/x-mixed-replace).
244 * Fixed a potential crash in SoupSessionAsync after the
245 session is finalized.
247 * Fixed a regression in soup_tls_is_public_suffix() [#681085,
250 * Added a SOUP_MESSAGE_IDEMPOTENT flag, so that apps can
251 bypass the "POSTs must be sent on new connections" check,
252 which was causing evolution-ews to have to create a new
253 connection for every request. [#681493, Milan Crha]
255 * Changed SoupSession so that pending SoupMessages now hold a
256 ref on the session. It is possible that this will break code
257 that was depending on the old, dumb, behavior (where
258 unreffing the session with messages pending would cause
259 those messages to be cancelled), in which case this will be
260 reverted before 2.40.
262 * Fixed memory leaks found by valgrind.
264 * Cleaned up some code in SoupCache. [#681509, Sergio]
266 * New/updated translations:
267 Bengali (India), Chinese (Traditional), German, Marathi,
270 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.4.1 to 2.39.5:
272 * Fixed several bugs in the soup-message-io updates that could
273 cause hangs or I/O errors. [#679527 and other bugs not filed
276 * Fixed SoupServer:async-context to work properly again
278 * Further fixes to soup_uri_normalize() when using the
279 "unescape_extra" parameter. [#680018]
281 * Fixed soup_xmlrpc_parse_method_call() to handle the case
282 where there is no <params> element (which is legal).
285 * Fixed the deprecation warning on soup_message_headers_get()
288 * Added warnings to some erroneous SoupSocket usages rather
289 than returning bogus data. [#673083, Simon McVittie]
291 * Fixed build under Windows/MinGW
293 * SoupSocket no longer emits the "readable" signal when a
294 socket is disconnected if that socket is non-blocking.
296 * Updated public suffix list to the current version.
298 * New/Updated translations:
299 Assamese, Chinese (simplified), Esperanto, Galician, Greek, Gujarati,
300 Hebrew, Norwegian bokmål, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian
302 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.4 to 2.39.4.1:
304 * Fixed indentation problems in tld-parser.py so it will work
305 under python 3. [#680089, "marduk"]
307 * Actually fixed cookies in non-suffixed/private domains,
308 which still didn't work after the last fix. [#679230,
311 * Updated translations:
314 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.3 to 2.39.4:
316 * Fixed the SoupRequest codepaths to properly retry in the
317 case where the server closes a persistent connection when we
318 try to use it. [Dan, might be the fix for #679527, but this
319 is not yet confirmed]
321 * Fixed the content-type and content-length of requests
322 retrieved from SoupCache. [#680029, Carlos Garcia Campos]
324 * Fixed the handling of cookies in non-suffixed and private
325 domains ("localhost", "foo.local", etc) [#679230, Sergio and
328 * Fixed cookie parsing to allow attribute values on "secure"
329 and "HttpOnly". (Neither is supposed to have a value, but it
330 happens in the real world.) [#678753, Dan, based on a patch
333 * Fixed soup_uri_normalize() to not always run the "fixup"
334 codepath. [#680018, pointed out by Yann Soubeyrand]
336 * Fixed a (rare) crash when closing the stream returned from
337 SoupRequestHTTP. [Dan]
339 * Use G_DEPRECATED on deprecated functions, and then fix up
340 the warnings this caused due to libsoup using its own
341 deprecated functions. [#671770, Javier Jardón]
343 * Fixed up "make dist" by, among other things, rewriting
344 tld-parser in python. [#678909, Colin Walters]
346 * Removed the "getbug" example program in tests/, which didn't
347 work any more anyway. [Dan]
349 * Various internal code cleanups. [Dan] Fixed one crash
350 resulting from this [#680055, Alban Browaeys]; hopefully
351 there won't be any more.
353 * New/Updated translations:
354 Assamese, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Chinese (traditional), Hebrew,
355 Indonesian, Lithuanian, Norwegian bokmål, Vietnamese
357 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.2 to 2.39.3:
359 * Added new functions for comparing domains against the
360 "public suffix" list (http://publicsuffix.org/), and in
361 particular fixed SoupCookieJar to not allow setting cookies
362 in "public" domains (eg, ".co.uk"). [#673802, Sergio]
364 * Added two new SoupCookieJar APIs
365 (soup_cookie_jar_get_cookies() and
366 soup_cookie_jar_set_cookie_with_first_party()) as part of
367 fixing the handling of HttpOnly cookies in WebKitGTK.
368 [#677922, Christophe Dumez]
370 * Fixed g-i annotation of
371 soup_message_headers_get_content_type(). [#677002, Dan]
373 * Updated translations:
374 Galician, Greek, Slovenian, Spanish, Telugu
376 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.1 to 2.39.2:
378 * Fixed several bugs that resulted from the I/O code rewrite
379 in 2.39.1, and added more test cases to exercise the new
382 * Problems with cancelling messages from the
383 got-headers signal [#674747, Dan]
385 * Persistent connections were not always being closed
386 properly after a message was cancelled mid-response.
389 * Cancelling a SoupRequest before it started I/O
392 * Asynchronous HTTP authentication via the SoupRequest
395 * Memory leak [#676038, Ray Strode]
397 * Refcounting bug that manifested as a crash in rygel
398 [#676038, Ray Strode]
400 * Handling failed CONNECT requests via SoupRequest
403 * Messages with trailing junk following a compressed
404 message body [#676477, Dan]
406 * Fixed three cache-related bugs that affect some sites
407 (notably Twitter) [Sergio]
409 * Fixed a bug in the /usr/bin/ntlm_auth integration when you
410 don't already have credentials cached, and avoid printing
411 warning messages when ntlm_auth is present but not usable.
414 * Fixed some g-ir-scanner warnings, and included
415 SoupRequester/SoupRequest in the introspected API [#676742,
418 * Added soup_buffer_get_as_bytes() [#676776, Jasper]
420 * New/updated translations:
421 Belarusian, Chinese (simplified), French, Galician, Greek,
422 Hebrew, Polish, Punjabi, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish
424 Changes in libsoup from 2.38.1 to 2.39.1:
426 * Major rewrite of the I/O code to use gio streams more
427 directly. In particular, when using SoupRequestHTTP now, the
428 input stream that is returned is actually pulling data from
429 the socket, rather than just repeatedly pausing and
430 unpausing the underlying SoupMessage and waiting for data to
431 be pushed into it. This also means that SoupRequestHTTP now
432 works with SoupSessionSync as well. [#591739, Dan]
434 (The SoupRequest API is still protected by unstable-API
435 #ifdefs, but will be made public later in this cycle.)
437 * Libsoup now finally supports SOCKS proxies again. [#553269,
440 * Certain error messages returned from the streaming API
441 (SoupRequest, etc) are now localized; more strings will be
444 * New translations: Galician, Hebrew, Indonesian, Norwegian
445 bokmål, Polish, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish.
447 * Added a SoupCookieJar:is-persistent property, to distinguish
448 memory-only jars from SoupCookieJarText and
449 SoupCookieJarSqlite. [#672838, Carlos Garcia Campos]
451 Changes in libsoup from 2.38.0 to 2.38.1:
453 * Fixed a situation where soup_connection_disconnect() could
454 end up calling g_object_unref(NULL) when an idle connection
455 was closed. [Sergio, #672178]
457 * Fixed two warnings when cancelling an in-progress
458 soup_socket_connect_async(). [pointed out on the mailing
459 list by Sven Neumann]
461 * Fixed a crash when disposing a SoupServer with open
462 connections. [#673468, Jonny Lamb]
464 * Fixed the SoupSession:ssl-use-system-ca-file property to get
465 turned off (rather than on) when you set it to FALSE... Also
466 fixed up the property notifications around the various
467 certificate-verification properties (ssl-ca-file,
468 ssl-use-system-ca-file, and tls-database).
470 * Fixed SoupSession to not leak paused SoupMessages that
471 were still in progress when it was unreffed. [#673905]
473 * Updated the win32 file: URI code again, to fix regressions
474 in the WebKit tests. [WebKit bug #82484]
476 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.92 to 2.38.0:
478 * Minor documentation fixes
480 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.91 to 2.37.92:
482 * Added soup_session_prefetch_dns() and deprecated
483 soup_session_prepare_for_uri(). The new method takes a
484 completion callback, allowing you to know how many DNS
485 resolutions are currently outstanding, so you don't spam the
486 resolver. [Sergio, WebKit bug #41630]
488 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.90 to 2.37.91:
490 * Fixed an out-of-bounds memory read that could occur when
491 parsing malformed requests/responses.
493 * Fixed a build-related bug in Makefile.glib that affected
494 locales such as Estonian where "Z" is not the last (ASCII)
495 letter of the alphabet. [#654395, Priit Laes]
497 * Fixed the handling of file: URIs with query components,
498 which got broken in 2.37.90.
500 * Fixed SoupAuthManagerNTLM to not fall back to allowing Basic
501 auth when NTLM failed.
503 * Further tweaked the warnings/fallback in SoupURI, so that
504 soup_uri_to_string() on an http URI with a NULL path would
505 translate that to "/" like it used to. [#670431]
507 * Fixed a warning when cancelling the load of a page with many
508 subresources. [#667245]
510 * Use G_GNUC_BEGIN/END_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS if GLib is new
511 enough, to avoid getting warned about the use of
514 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.5 to 2.37.90:
516 * libsoup is now beta-testing Makefile.glib from bug 654395.
517 If 2.37.90 fails to build in some strange way that 2.37.5
518 did not, this is probably why.
520 * Replaced some of the SoupURI g_return_if_fail()s that were
521 added in 2.37.5 with g_warn_if_fail()s. Although it had
522 always been documented that SoupURIs must have a non-NULL
523 path, most SoupURI functions treated NULL the same as "",
524 and various apps (eg, rhythmbox, midori) were accidentally
525 relying on this. [Dan]
527 * Added various return-if-fails and other sanity checks to
528 various functions. [#669479, Robert Swain, Mark Nauwelaerts,
531 * Updated docs/annotation of soup_form_decode_multipart() to
532 note that all of the out parameters are (allow-none). Fixed
533 the file_control_name parameter to actually allow NULL like
534 the docs already claimed. [#669479, Simon McVittie]
536 * Fixed a minor URI parsing bug. (It was allowing URI schemes
537 to contain numbers.) [Dan]
539 * Fixed a few memory leaks introduced in the 2.37 cycle. [Dan]
541 * Fixed SoupServer to be able to correctly respond to HTTP/1.0
542 requests over IPv6 (which previously would always have
543 returned "400 Bad Request"). [#666399, Dan]
545 * Changed SoupSessionAsync to make it possible to finalize it
546 from the "wrong" thread. [#667364, Dan].
548 * Fixed SoupCache to not cache resources whose URIs have query
549 components (unless they have explicit cache headers); to not
550 generate broken conditional requests for resources that
551 cannot be conditionally validated; and to not spew warnings
552 when receiving invalid Cache-Control headers. [#668865,
555 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.4 to 2.37.5:
557 * Fixed a bug in SoupSession:use-thread-context [Dan]
559 * Fixed the case of cancelling a message from
560 SoupSession::request-started [#668098, Raphael Kubo da
563 * Fixed a crash in epiphany when loading a page with more than
564 1000 or so images. [#668508, Dan]
566 * Fixed a bunch of cases involving invalid URLs found while
567 testing SoupServer against an HTTP protocol fuzzer. Also
568 fixed up some documentation/annotations and added some new
569 test cases. [#667637, Simon McVittie]
571 * Fixed SoupRequestFile to work on Windows. [Paweł Forysiuk]
573 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.3 to 2.37.4:
575 * SoupMessage now has a "network-event" signal that can be
576 monitored for information about DNS, proxy lookup, TCP
577 connections, and TLS handshakes. [Dan]
579 * The HTTP header parsing code now avoids hitting
580 g_return_if_fails() (and returns an error instead) in a few
581 cases of seriously-invalid headers. [#666316, Simon
584 * POSTs and other non-idempotent requests are now always sent
585 on newly-created connections. You can also force this
586 behavior on other messages by setting the
587 SOUP_MESSAGE_NEW_CONNECTION flag. [#578990, Dan]
589 * Server-closed idle connections are now detected ahead of
590 time on Windows, preventing occasional spurious "Connection
591 terminated unexpectedly" errors. (This had been fixed on
592 UNIX since 2.28, but the earlier fix didn't work with
593 WinSock.) [#578990, Dan]
595 * Plugged a leak in SoupRequestHTTP. [#667099, Xan]
597 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.2 to 2.37.3:
599 * Now requires glib 2.31
601 * Simplified SoupHTTPInputStream and SoupRequestHTTP, allowing
602 related simplifications in WebKit's ResourceHandleSoup. This
603 is an ABI-incompatible change, but SoupHTTPInputStream is an
604 unstable API. [#663451, Dan]
606 * Fixed a bug that caused the SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED
607 flag to always be cleared, causing epiphany to claim all
608 https pages were untrusted. [#665182, Dan]
610 * Fixed some bugs in the handling of SoupSession:http-aliases
611 and SoupSession:https-aliases.
613 * Fixed handling of ACLOCAL_FLAGS [#641470, Craig Keogh]
615 * Fixed SoupContentDecoder's "ignore Content-Encoding: gzip
616 because the server didn't actually mean it" hack to handle
619 * Clarified the documentation on SoupSession:ssl-strict
622 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.1 to 2.37.2:
624 * Fixed up the output of SoupDirectoryInputStream, thus
625 improving the display of local directories in WebKit-based
626 browsers. [#662266, Sergio]
628 * Fixed a bug introduced in 2.37.1 that caused some cancelled
629 SoupMessages to be leaked. [#662847, Sergio]
631 * Added new SoupSession properties "http-aliases" and
632 "https-aliases" that allow you to configure more explicitly
633 what URL protocols are treated as aliases for http (eg,
634 "dav:", "webcal:", etc), and which should be recognized as
635 meaning something else, (eg, "ftp:") [Dan]
637 * Added soup_session_would_redirect() and
638 soup_session_redirect_message(), to help users that want to
639 handle some or all redirects themselves. Added
640 soup_message_set_redirect() to make it easier to return
641 redirection responses from a SoupServer. [Dan]
643 * Added the SoupSession "use-thread-context" property, which
644 tells it to use GMainContexts in a gio-compliant way (and in
645 particular, allows having different messages running in
646 different GMainContexts on the same SoupSession, though only
647 to a limited extent since SoupSessionAsync is still not
648 thread-safe). In particular, this was added in order to
649 address WebKit bug 68238. [Dan]
651 * Made SoupURI %-encode non-ASCII characters when parsing
652 URIs, in particular to fix a problem with certain servers
653 sending syntactically invalid redirects that they would then
654 only interpret correctly if you fixed the syntax for them.
655 (@$!@#! Although the new code is probably more correct than
656 the old code anyway, so...) [#662806, Dan]
658 * Fixed a connection-handling bug that could cause problems
659 with servers that requested authentication and then timed
660 out the connection while the application was waiting for the
661 user to enter a password. [#660057, Dan]
663 * Made NTLM and Basic authentication handle some non-ASCII
664 usernames and passwords. (NTLM should handle most. It's
665 impossible to fix Basic in the general case.) [#576838,
666 Joachim Breitner, "sponsored by ITOMIG GmbH and the City of
669 * Added support for "deflate" Content-Encoding, so that we can
670 work with broken servers that insisted on using it even
671 though we explicitly indicated in the request headers that
672 we didn't support it. (@$#!#) [#661682, Sergio]
674 Changes in libsoup from 2.36.0 to 2.37.1:
676 * Fixed a problem with connections being assigned to multiple
677 requests at once after a redirection [#651146, Sergio]. Made
678 soup_session_pause/unpause_message() work in any state, not
679 just while the HTTP I/O is occurring, and used this to add a
680 test case for that bug. [Dan]
682 * Ported SoupSession to use GTlsDatabase internally, and added
683 two new properties, SoupSession:use-system-ca-file (to
684 specify that the session should use the default system
685 tlsdb) and SoupSession:tlsdb (to specify a specific tlsdb to
688 * Likewise, added SoupServer:tls-certificate, for specifying a
689 certificate/key for an https server to use.
691 * Made SoupHTTPInputStream use memory more efficiently.
694 * Fixed soup_message_get_https_status() to return information
695 more reliably (with latest glib-networking).
697 * Bumped the glib requirement to 2.30.0; although libsoup does
698 not use any new glib 2.30 APIs, there are several important
699 bugfixes in glib between 2.28 and 2.30 that libsoup needs.
700 Currently libsoup builds against either glib 2.30.x or glib
703 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.92 to 2.36.0:
705 * Improvements to gtk-doc documentation. [Dan]
707 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.90 to 2.35.92:
709 * Fixed a problem where SoupHTTPRequest response bodies could
710 be truncated. [#659256, Sergio]
712 * Fixed a bug in copying TLS information from SoupSocket to
713 SoupMessage, causing all https connections to be reported as
714 "untrusted" in epiphany. [Dan]
716 * Made SoupSession remove items from its host cache after a
717 while, so that if a host changes IP address, it will
718 eventually try to re-resolve it. [#646959, Sergio]
720 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.5 to 2.35.90:
722 * Added SOUP_MESSAGE_CAN_REBUILD flag, to use with
723 soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE) on a request body,
724 to indicate that the caller will recreate the request body
725 after it has been discarded if the message needs to be
728 * Fixed the build on mingw-w64 by not using "interface" as
729 as variable name. [#656402, Erik van Pienbroek]
731 * (The multihosted https server regression mentioned in the
732 2.35.5 NEWS turned out to be a glib-networking bug, which is
733 fixed as of 2.29.18.)
735 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.4 to 2.35.5:
737 * Support NTLM single sign on via samba's /usr/bin/ntlm_auth.
738 [#650940, Mandy Wu]. This is enabled by default (if NTLM is
739 enabled for the session and the ntlm_auth binary is
740 available), but will fall back to the standard
741 password-based authentication if SSO fails.
743 * Default to TLS+extensions for https connections, falling
744 back to SSLv3-without-extensions (the old default) only if
745 the server fails to negotiate TLS. [#581342]
747 * As a result of this change, some users are currently
748 seeing problems with sites that serve multiple https
749 hosts from a single IP address (eg,
750 *.launchpad.net). There is no known workaround at
753 * Fixed a longstanding problem with https pages sometimes not
754 loading when using a proxy. [#631368, based on patches from
755 DongJae Kim and Thierry Reding]
757 * SoupContentSniffer: don't use gio's sniffing rules, since
758 the spec now recommends that browsers not do any additional
759 sniffing beyond what's in the spec. [#648846, "arno"]
761 * Fixed SoupRequestHTTP to work properly with alternate
762 GMainContexts. [#653707]
764 * Added some annotations from Vala's vapi files. [#655397,
765 Evan Nemerson]. Also, removed SoupProxyResolver from the
766 gir/typelib, since it had been deprecated since before
767 introspection was available, and it was being scanned wrong
770 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.3 to 2.35.4:
772 * CVE-2011-2524: Fixed a security hole that caused some
773 SoupServer users to unintentionally allow accessing the
774 entire local filesystem when they thought they were only
775 providing access to a single directory. [#653258]
777 * Plugged another SoupCache memory leak [Xan]
779 * Simplified SoupCache keys, and handle collisions. [#649963,
782 * Annotate SoupSession:add-feature, etc, as (skip), so they
783 don't conflict with the methods of the same name. [#655150,
786 Changes in libsoup from 2.34.1 to 2.35.3:
788 * SoupCache fixes [Sergio]:
790 * Don't store hop-by-hop headers [#650094]
792 * Fix status code and headers of responses returned
793 from the cache after being revalidated [#649965]
795 * Added versioning support to the cache file format
796 [#652554] and extended it to keep track of the
797 status code [#649965]
799 * Fixed storage of time values in the cache [#653349]
801 * Fixed a use-after-free that could result in bogus
802 data being written to the cache [#650620]
804 * Various leaks [#649309]
806 * Work around an Apache bug where it tells browsers to
807 automatically decode .gz files but still keep the .gz in the
810 * Fixed an overflow when sending a response larger than 2^31
811 bytes (eg, streaming movies in Rygel). [#638468, Jens Georg]
813 * Always send the Keep-Alive header, not just to hosts we
814 already know to be HTTP/1.0 [#648680, Sergio]
816 * Fixed various leaks [#652699, Sergio], [#651643, Milan],
819 * Minor build fix for Debian/Ubuntu [#648948]
823 Changes in libsoup from 2.34.0 to 2.34.1:
825 * Two multipart forms/Content-Disposition fixes [Dan]:
827 * UTF-8-encoded header encoding/decoding rules updated
828 to match RFC 5987. In particular, a UTF-8-encoded
829 filename parameter in Content-Disposition will now
830 override an ASCII one.
832 * When not using UTF-8-encoded filenames in
833 Content-Disposition, always quote the filename,
834 since some servers erroneously fail to handle
835 non-quoted ones. [#641280]
837 * Fixed several memory leaks [Dan, Xan]
839 * Fixed decoding base64 data: URLs [#646896, Sergio]
841 * Simplified the libsoup-gnome build on Windows by dropping
842 the gnome-keyring dependency. [Fridrich Štrba]
844 * Fixed a bug in soup_uri_to_string() in which (invalid) port
845 numbers could be output as negative numbers (tripping up a
846 WebKit "sanity checking" test). [#647767, Sergio]
848 * Fixed a cache corruption bug in SoupCache. [#648285, Sergio]
850 * Fixed a crash in SoupSessionSync when using
851 soup_session_abort().
853 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.92 to 2.34.0:
855 * Fixed the GMainContext handling of the new
856 SoupProxyResolverDefault (which among other things fixes
857 gstreamer usage inside epiphany). [#646201, Sebastian Dröge]
859 * Tweaked the introspection Makefile rules to fix a problem
860 building on Debian/Ubuntu. [#645505]
862 * Belated bumped the shared library versioning to reflect the
863 API additions since 2.32.0
865 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.90 to 2.33.92:
867 * LIBSOUP NO LONGER DEPENDS ON GCONF OR LIBPROXY.
870 * Added SoupProxyResolverDefault, which uses uses gio's
871 GProxyResolver to resolve proxies [#642982, Gustavo Noronha
872 Silva]. Despite the "default" in the name, it is not used by
873 default, for compatibility reasons, but it is available in
874 plain libsoup, not libsoup-gnome. (Of course, it depends on
875 having glib-networking installed.)
877 * Updated SoupProxyResolverGNOME to be based on
878 SoupProxyResolverDefault, but explicitly requesting the
879 "gnome" GProxyResolver if it is available [#625898], and
880 removed the old code that used GConf and libproxy directly.
882 * Added soup_server_disconnect(), to explicitly disconnect a
883 SoupServer, since it is not possible to g_object_unref() it
884 from memory-managed language bindings. [#638576, Andreas
887 * SoupDate now parses month names case-insensitively [#644048,
890 * Avoid a g_return_if_fail() when using
891 SOUP_COOKIE_JAR_ACCEPT_NO_THIRD_PARTY with non-http URIs
892 (file:, data:, etc). [#643226]
894 * SoupCookieJar now catches overflows when parsing very
895 distant dates [#643462, based on a patch from Mark
898 * Fixed a buggy interaction between request body streaming and
899 restarted requests [David Woodhouse]. Added some new tests
900 to tests/chunk-test.c to make sure that a specific
901 (unsupported!) way of using those methods would not get
902 broken in the future.
904 * Fixed soup_socket_get_remote_address(), which had been
905 broken since 2.33.4 (and which in turn caused
906 soup_client_context_get_address/_get_host to be broken).
909 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.6 to 2.33.90:
911 * Attempted to make libsoup's dependency on glib-networking
912 (for TLS support) more explicit, by requiring that
913 glib-networking be present at compile time unless the
914 builder explicitly passes "--disable-tls-check", and noting
915 that packagers should give libsoup a runtime dependency on
918 * Fixed a bug in talking to servers with virtual hosts with
919 Unicode names (IDNs) [#642075]
921 * Added a "Connection: Keep-Alive" header when talking to
922 HTTP/1.0 hosts, to improve performance. [#640414, Sergio
925 * Changed SoupCache to not cache multipart/x-mixed-replace
926 content. [#642028, Sergio Villar Senin]
928 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.5 to 2.33.6:
930 * Made SoupSessionAsync do idle-connection cleanup more
931 sanely, resulting in faster load times for pages with lots
932 of subresources. [#639768, Sergio Villar Senin]
934 * Fixed soup_form_decode()'s behavior (and by extension,
935 SoupServer query string handling) with datasets that contain
936 multiple values for the same key, and added a test case.
937 [#639783, Sven Neumann]
939 * Fixed warnings pointed out by gcc 4.6, including a bug in
940 SoupCache that would cause unnecessary revalidations
943 * Belated copied a fix from the WebKit copy of soup-cache.c
944 into ours, and fixed a bug in the local copy of
945 soup-request-data.c [#641022, Sergio Villar Senin], in
946 preparation for making WebKit use the libsoup versions.
948 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.4 to 2.33.5:
950 * Fixed certain cases of soup_session_cancel_message() with
951 SoupSessionSync that could previously cause warnings or
954 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.2 to 2.33.4:
956 * SoupSocket now uses GSocketConnection and GTlsConnection
957 internally rather than making socket calls directly and
958 using GIOStream, and TLS is handled via glib's APIs rather
959 than using gnutls directly.
961 * The gzip Content-Encoding handler is now implemented using
964 * As a result of the above two changes, libsoup no longer
965 directly depends on gnutls, libgcrypt, or zlib, though it
966 still indirectly depends on zlib via glib and libxml2. Also,
967 although libsoup does not depend on glib-networking as a
968 build-time dependency, some "make check" tests will be
969 skipped if it is not installed.
971 * The SoupRequest/SoupCache code from WebKit has been
972 imported, but it is not yet recommended for general use, and
973 is not necessarily API stable. [#523100, Sergio Villar, with
974 the SoupRequest parts based on the Summer of Code work by
975 Gabriel Corvalan and the cache parts based on an earlier
978 * Added SoupMessage:tls-certificate and
979 SoupMessage:tls-errors, which give more information about
980 the certificate used to authenticate a TLS connection.
982 * It is now possible to disable Basic or Digest auth in a
983 session by using soup_session_remove_feature_by_type() with
984 SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_BASIC or SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_DIGEST. Likewise, the
985 right way to enable NTLM support now is to call
986 soup_session_add_feature_by_type() with SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_NTLM;
987 SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM is now deprecated.
989 * Allow setting cookies on file:// URIs, since other browsers
990 do, and WebKit has a test for it. [#603825]
992 * .gir/.typelib files now include C header/library information
993 (needed by vala and some other bindings) [#635395, Evan
996 * Added annotations on soup_message_headers_get_content_type()
997 [Lucas Rocha] and SoupHTTPVersion [John Palmieri]
999 * Fixed a Set-Cookie processing leak [#636741, Jonathan
1002 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.1 to 2.32.2:
1004 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused evolution-exchange
1005 to get stuck and stop updating. [#634422]
1007 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with apps using asynchronous
1008 sessions from multiple threads (in particular, gupnp)
1011 * Fixed the regression test for #631525 to not cause spurious
1012 "make check" failures on some machines.
1014 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.0 to 2.32.1:
1016 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with the use of persistent
1017 connections that caused spurious "Connection terminated
1018 unexpectedly" errors. [#631525, debugged by Sergio Villar]
1020 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused proxy-related
1021 DNS errors to return SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than
1022 SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE_PROXY.
1024 * Usernames/passwords specified explicitly in request URIs now
1025 override existing cached auth info. [#631679, Sergio Villar]
1027 * Changed soup_uri_decode() and soup_uri_normalize() to just
1028 ignore malformed %-encoding rather than returning NULL,
1029 for consistency with soup_uri_new(). [#630540]
1031 * Fixed soup_form_decode() to ignore invalid parameters,
1032 and soup_form_encode_hash() to just g_return_if_fail()
1033 rather than crashing if there are NULL values in the
1036 * Added another workaround for stupid servers that close the
1037 connection before returning the full response (in this case,
1038 when using chunked encoding and failing to include the
1039 final 0-length chunk). [#629160]
1041 * Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJarText that deleted excess cookies
1042 whenever any cookie expired. [#631641, Michał Kazior]
1044 * Fixed a small leak in SoupContentDecoder if you were using
1045 it incorrectly. [pointed out in email by Christophe
1048 * Added regression tests for passwords-in-URIs [#631679,
1049 Sergio Villar] and SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT.
1051 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.92 to 2.32.0:
1053 * (No changes, just a version bump)
1055 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.90 to 2.31.92:
1057 * Updated for gobject-introspection 0.9.5. Also added some new
1058 annotations and removed a bunch of private headers from the
1061 * Percent-encoded characters in URIs are no longer
1062 automatically normalized to uppercase, since apparently some
1063 servers are stupid. [#628728, Sergio Villar Senin]
1065 * Fixed a crash when resolving a URI containing both spaces
1066 and non-UTF8 8bit characters. [#629449]
1068 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.90:
1070 * libsoup now tries to connect to each IP address associated
1071 with a hostname, if the first one fails. In particular, if a
1072 host has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and only one of them
1073 is reachable from the current host, libsoup will now try the
1074 other one rather than failing. (libc is supposed to sort the
1075 IP addresses in the right order, such that, eg, if you don't
1076 have IPv6 connectivity, it will put the IPv4 address first.
1077 For some reason though, this seems to be broken on some
1078 distros.) [#526321].
1080 * Fixed Accept-Language header generation in locales where ","
1081 is used as the decimal point.
1083 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.6:
1085 * Disabled TLS 1.2 in addition to the already-disabled 1.1 and
1086 1.0 [see below, in libsoup 2.27.2], thus making libsoup
1087 usable with gnutls 2.10. [#622857. This commit, 01a43ad9,
1088 can be applied to libsoup 2.30.x as well if you need that
1089 release to work with gnutls 2.10.]
1091 * When using libproxy 0.3 or newer, libsoup no longer leaks
1092 proxy-related environment variables into child processes
1095 * Changed the way message/connection binding works in
1096 SoupSession so that (among other things), when there are
1097 multiple requests queued to a host, and one of them gets a
1098 network error, the other requests are still allowed to try
1099 to succeed, rather than all failing immediately. [#619633]
1101 * SoupSession now limits the number of times a message can be
1102 redirected, to avoid infinite loops [#604383, José Millán
1105 * Fixed handling of certain messages where the response
1106 headers included "Connection: close" but the server did not
1107 actually close the connection at the end. [#611481]
1109 * Fixed some incorrect g-i annotations [#621021]
1111 * Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access when processing certain
1112 Set-Cookie headers [#620288]
1114 * Improved msg->reason_phrase on network errors [#623274]
1116 * Fixed gir file disting [#621727, Yaakov Selkowitz]
1118 Changes in libsoup from 2.30.1 to 2.31.2:
1120 * gobject-introspection has now been merged in. Use
1121 --enable-introspection to build. [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
1122 Note that the introspected API is not yet stable, and in
1123 particular, there are numerous values annotated as "utf8"
1124 which are actually not guaranteed to be utf8. (Eg, most
1127 * Added some helper functions for bindings:
1128 soup_buffer_new_take(),
1129 soup_message_body_append_take(), and
1130 soup_buffer_get_data(). [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
1132 * Also added properties for several SoupMessage public
1133 fields, and getter methods for various boxed types
1134 (SoupCookie, SoupDate, SoupURI).
1136 * Added some additional hash-table annotations.
1137 [#619086, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1139 * Marked SoupSession abstract. [#617216, Lorenzo Gil, the
1140 first bug filed by someone trying to use libsoup via
1141 introspection!] Likewise for SoupAuth and SoupAuthDomain.
1143 * Fixed a problem with SoupSessionAsync that would cause
1144 messages to get lost if you aborted a previous message while
1145 it was still looking up the hostname. Fixed several other
1146 problems that were discovered while adding a regression test
1147 for that. [#618641, thanks to Claudio Saavedra for a good
1150 * Fixed another connecting-to-lame-http-server problem, and a
1151 getting-stuck-in-a-loop-reconnecting bug that it revealed.
1154 Changes in libsoup from 2.30.0 to 2.30.1:
1156 * Fix for https through proxies that close the connection when
1157 returning a "407 Proxy Authentication Required" response,
1158 and add a regression test for that case. [#611663]
1160 * Fixed multiple forms/multipart-related interoperability
1161 problems reported by Egon Andersen:
1163 * Don't quote the multipart boundary string if it's
1164 not needed, since RFC 2616 recommends that you
1165 don't, and some servers don't handle quotes there
1166 correctly. (Sigh.) [#614176]
1168 * Don't put an extra blank line before the first
1169 multipart part, since it's unnecessary and some
1170 servers don't handle a multipart preamble correctly.
1173 * Don't put Content-Transfer-Encoding headers in the
1174 multipart/form-data parts, even though the HTML 4
1175 spec says you must, since no other browsers do, and
1176 some servers don't handle them correctly. (Sigh.)
1179 * Changed SoupCookieJarSqlite to actually erase deleted
1180 cookies from the database. [#615711, Lukasz Slachciak]
1182 * Fixed SoupLogger to be more robust against getting passed
1183 bad data by the session. [#611663]
1185 * Fixed SoupAuthDomain to ignore paths when doing proxy auth
1187 * Fixed a g_warning when hovering over a javascript link in
1188 WebKit. [#613442, Xan Lopez]
1190 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.91 to 2.30.0:
1192 * Fixed a crash in the whitespace-stripping code in
1193 soup_uri_new() [#612644, "arnaud.lb"]
1195 * Update content-sniffing algorithm to match Chrome and the
1196 soon-to-be-updated sniffing spec. [#611502, Gustavo Noronha
1199 * We now handle "Content-Encoding: x-gzip" as well as "gzip"
1200 (even though "x-gzip" has been deprecated for more than 10
1203 * Fixed leaks found by valgrind
1205 * Make the "make check" programs only bind to 127.0.0.1, not
1206 any public network interfaces. [#609489, Saleem Absulrasool]
1208 * Add a test to sniffing-test to make sure that Content-Type
1209 parameters are preserved correctly. [Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1211 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.90 to 2.29.91:
1213 * Added SOUP_SESSION_SSL_STRICT and
1214 SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED, to allow callers to
1215 determine if an https response comes from a server with a
1216 recognized/valid or unrecognized/invalid certificate.
1217 [#610374, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1219 * Fixed handling of certain badly-formatted URIs [#590524]
1221 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.6 to 2.29.90:
1223 * Added soup_cookie_jar_set_accept_policy() and related API
1224 for implementing cookie acceptance policies. [#608353, Xan
1227 * Fixed the "request-read" signal in SoupServer to actually be
1230 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.5 to 2.29.6:
1232 * Fixed SoupContentDecoder to ignore trailing junk after the
1233 encoded message body (as other browsers do), rather than
1234 getting stuck in an infinite loop. [#606352]
1236 * Fixed an invalid read in soup_cookie_applies_to_uri()
1237 [#607024, pointed out by Xan]
1239 * Fixed linking on OS X [#606959]
1241 * Removed a harmless warning in SoupServer. [#606645]
1243 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.3 to 2.29.5:
1245 * Added SoupContentDecoder, providing support for
1246 Content-Encoding: gzip for WebKitGTK. [#522772]
1248 * Added "accept-language" and "accept-language-auto"
1249 properties to SoupSession, to support the Accept-Language
1250 header. [#597004, Mario Sanchez Prada]
1252 * Fixed a bug in SoupPasswordManagerGNOME that could cause
1253 crashes if you typed the wrong password once and then tried
1254 again. [#595554, debugged by Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1256 * Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDigest if the server claims support
1257 for both qop=auth and qop=auth-int. (This was not noticed
1258 sooner because no one actually supports qop=auth-int, and
1259 the server in question here was probably confused. :)
1261 * Updated cookie parsing/output to more closely match
1262 draft-ietf-httpstate-cookie-00. [Also fixes #603496 (WebKit
1263 unit test), and #604794 (hang parsing malformed Set-Cookie
1266 * Fixed https-via-proxy to not hang if there is an error
1267 communicating with the proxy immediately after the TLS
1268 negotiation. [#587528]
1270 * Fixed a bug that broke gobject-introspection's introspection
1271 of libsoup. [#603696, Vincent Untz]
1273 * Handle spurious CR/LFs between responses. [#602863,
1274 Alexander V. Butenko]
1276 * Fixed soup-message-client-io to not erroneously include URI
1277 fragments on the Request-Line when sending via a proxy.
1278 [Related to WebKit bug #28687]
1280 * Fixed Digest authentication against certain (buggy?)
1281 clients/servers that require you to use quotes in exactly the
1282 same places where the spec uses them. [#582219]
1284 * Fix ugly gtype-related hack to work with the latest unstable
1285 glib. [Benjamin Otte]
1287 Changes in libsoup from 2.28.1 to 2.29.3:
1289 * Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite when using cookie
1290 databases not created by libsoup (eg, upgraded epiphany
1291 installations). [Patch from Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]
1293 * Fixed SoupCookieJar to handle non-http URIs properly (so
1294 that, eg, JavaScript bookmarklets that try to set/read
1295 cookies won't cause crashes). [#602498]
1297 * HEAD requests that receive a "303 See Other" response will
1298 now do a HEAD, not a GET, on the redirected-to resource.
1299 Fixes gvfs access to some sites, including certain
1300 youtube.com URIs. [#600830]
1302 * Fixed a g_warning that would always trigger in the
1303 server-side SoupCookie code. [#602389]
1305 * Fixed the server-side SoupMultipart code to be able to parse
1306 multiparts containing binary attachments, rather than
1307 rejecting them as malformed. [#601640]
1309 * Fixed the Request-Line format in the https-over-proxy case.
1310 Among other things, this fixes access to bugzilla.gnome.org
1311 from WebKitGTK-based browsers. [#598277, #600826]
1313 * Fixed a leak in SoupSession if a message was cancelled while
1314 the initial socket connection was in progress. [#596074,
1315 debugged by Arnout Vandecappelle]
1317 * Fixed server-side parsing of Digest auth. [#602898, Chris
1320 * Fixed WinSock initialization on Windows. [#600689, Tor
1323 * Fixed a sporadic crash in the SSL code on Windows. [#600748,
1326 * Fixed handling of https connections with timeouts on
1327 Windows. [#600749, Tor Lillqvist]
1329 * Added soup_session_prepare_for_uri(), to allow DNS
1330 prefetching for faster browsing. [#598948, José Millán Soto]
1332 * SoupSession now avoids redundant DNS lookups again when
1333 first connecting to a new site, resulting in (probably
1334 imperceptibly) faster loads.
1336 * Added some debugging APIs to SoupConnection and SoupSession
1337 for use by, eg, epiphany's soup-fly extension. [#589163,
1340 Changes in libsoup from 2.28.0 to 2.28.1:
1342 * libsoup will now attempt to make multiple connections to a
1343 server at once when there are multiple messages queued to
1344 that server. The previous behavior (only allowing a single
1345 pending connection to each server) resulted in slow load
1346 times on pages with lots of subresources (images, css, js,
1347 etc) on servers that disallow persistent connections.
1350 * There should now be fewer (no?) "Connection terminated
1351 unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK.
1353 * Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite [#596859, patch from
1356 * Fixed soup_address_get_physical() and address-to-name
1357 resolution of SoupAddress [patch from Enrico Tröger].
1359 * Fixed a bug in SoupContentSniffer that could cause false
1360 negatives [#597545, patch from Alejandro Castro].
1362 * Fixed the configure error if you have gnutls-devel but not
1363 gcrypt-devel installed [#587709].
1365 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.92 to 2.28.0:
1367 * Fixed a handful of leaks found with valgrind, including a
1368 large one in SoupContentSniffer [WebKit bug 28148].
1370 * Changed the behavior of SoupCookieJarSqlite to improve
1371 performance. [#584522, patch from Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1373 * Fixed a crash in SoupSocket that affected gupnp. [#594951,
1374 patch from Olivier Crête]
1376 * Fixed the type of the SOUP_METHOD_* and SOUP_URI_SCHEME_*
1377 macros to be const char * rather than gpointer. [#594508]
1379 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.91 to 2.27.92:
1381 * Removed SoupPasswordManager from the public API until its
1382 problems can be addressed. Although it is still present, you
1383 need to #define a special symbol for it to be visible in the
1384 header files; see #594377 for details.
1386 * Fixed a bug where empty query components were dropped from
1389 * Fixed "make check" to work (but warn) when building with
1392 * Fixed some small documentation bugs pointed out by Dominik
1393 Bylica and Lucian Langa.
1395 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.90 to 2.27.91:
1397 * Added SoupPasswordManager, an interface for managing
1398 persistent password storage, and SoupPasswordManagerGNOME
1399 (in libsoup-gnome), which implements it using gnome-keyring.
1400 tests/get.c provides a minimal example of how to use it.
1402 * libsoup should now notice when the server closes a
1403 persistent connection, and close its side of the connection
1404 sooner. This should hopefully fix the spurious "Connection
1405 terminated unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK. [#578990]
1407 * Fixed some problems with connection management in
1408 SoupSession that could cause a session to eventually "stall"
1409 and be unable to process new requests. [#592084]
1411 * Fixed an infinite loop that caused 100% CPU usage if the
1412 network went down at exactly the right time while there were
1413 unsent messages in the queue. [#592492]
1415 * Fixed a crash in SoupLogger. [#591857]
1417 * Fixed the definition of soup_message_is_keepalive() for
1418 HTTP/1.0 messages, to fix a problem introduced in 2.27.90
1419 where some messages would load completely but never emit
1422 * Fixed a crash in SoupServer introduced in 2.27.90 when
1423 processing a request with no "Host" header.
1425 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.5 to 2.27.90:
1427 * libsoup now uses glib's GResolver rather than its own DNS
1428 code. For 2.27.90, the only visible change should be that
1429 internationalized domain names are now supported. [#548287]
1431 * Added soup_message_disable_feature(), which allows you to
1432 disable particular features (eg, cookies, proxy,
1433 content-sniffing, etc) on a per-message basis. [#574773]
1435 * It is now possible to implement "OPTIONS *" in a SoupServer;
1436 you must explicitly register a handler for "*" in order to
1439 * Ignore Content-Length on EOF-terminated responses, to match
1440 other browsers and therefore cope with broken servers that
1441 send the wrong length. [Patch from Benjamin Otte.]
1443 * Fixed the status code when trying to fetch an https URI with
1444 a non-gnutls build of libsoup. [#590464]
1446 * Fixed strict-aliasing warnings introduced in 2.27.4
1449 * Fixed some warnings noted by fortify [#591226] and -Wextra.
1451 * libsoup now uses automake 1.11's silent-rules support by
1452 default (if you are building with automake 1.11). Use
1453 "./configure --disable-silent-rules" or "make V=1" to
1456 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.4 to 2.27.5:
1458 * Fixed a crash when a web server redirected a request to a
1459 non-http URI (eg, "about:blank"). [#528882]
1461 * Fixed a hang when trying to create an attachment on certain
1462 bugzilla installations from epiphany. [#584645]
1464 * Fixed verification of V1 TLS certificates [#589323, Patrick
1467 * Fixed compile problems on Windows (in the ssl code), and on
1468 Linux (when the most recent version of gtk-doc was
1471 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.2 to 2.27.4:
1473 * Added SoupContentSniffer and the "content-sniffed" signal on
1474 SoupMessage, to do Content-Type sniffing per the HTML5 /
1475 draft-abarth-mime-sniff algorithm. [#572589, Gustavo Noronha
1478 * Updated the earlier SoupSession timeout fixes ([#574414],
1479 [#578928]) so that async connect() also times out [#588177,
1480 Mark Nauwelaerts] and SSL works on Windows again [#587910,
1483 * Fixed the behavior on a 301 response to a POST to match
1484 real-world usage rather than what the spec says. (We were
1485 doing the right thing on 302 and 303, but had missed 301.)
1488 * Changed configure so that if GNUTLS isn't found then it
1489 errors out, rather than silently building an SSL-less
1490 libsoup. Configure with --disable-ssl if you actually don't
1493 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.1 to 2.27.2:
1495 * Replaced SoupProxyResolver with SoupProxyURIResolver, which
1496 is a bit simpler, works with non-HTTP URIs (and so could be
1497 used by gvfsd-ftp) and supports proxy auth correctly.
1500 * Fixed SoupSession to not try to resolve http server
1501 hostnames when it's just going to pass the hostname off to a
1502 proxy server anyway. This fixes things on hosts that use a
1503 proxy for everything and have no working DNS config
1504 [#577532] and also makes WebKitGTK behave more like other
1505 browsers in terms of per-host connection limits (we now
1506 limit connections based on hostname rather than on IP
1509 We also no longer set the AI_CANONNAME flag when calling
1510 getaddrinfo(), which saves us a little bit of unnecessary
1511 network traffic. [Pointed out by Christophe Gillette on the
1514 * libsoup now always uses SSL 3.0 (not TLS 1.0 or 1.1) for
1515 https URIs, to work around problems with older servers that
1516 don't implement the (apparently quite confusing) TLS/SSL
1517 compatibility rules correctly. Makes a bunch of
1518 previously-inaccessible sites now accessible in WebKitGTK
1519 (notably PayPal) [#581342]. Will eventually be revisited, to
1520 first try TLS 1.1 and fall back if that fails.
1522 * Fixed Digest auth to (recent) Apple CalDAV servers.
1525 * Changed the way the SoupSession "authenticate" signal works
1526 a bit. We now never emit "authenticate" before sending a
1527 request, even if we know for sure that it's going to fail,
1528 because this makes the semantics of the authenticate handler
1529 too complicated (and because we'll only get into this
1530 situation if a previous call to the authenticate handler
1531 failed anyway). Fixes problems in WebKitGTK when you cancel
1532 a password dialog, and then later try to load the page
1533 again. [#583462, mostly figured out by Gustavo Noronha
1536 * Fixed a bug in the CRLF-vs-LF patch (#571283) that caused
1537 libsoup to fail to parse the response headers (returning
1538 SOUP_STATUS_MALFORMED) if a CR LF got split across two
1541 * Allow using PUT in soup_form_request_for_data(), to work
1542 with certain broken web APIs. [#581860, Ross Burton]. Also,
1543 fixed a problem with empty POST bodies that made some parts
1544 of gmail not work in WebKitGTK.
1546 * Applied some minor bugfixes to configure.in and autogen.sh
1547 [#583911, #583942]. Fixed configure.in to not use gcc
1548 warning options that the installed version of gcc doesn't
1549 recognize [#578851].
1551 * Added G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED and G_GNUC_PRINTF to a few
1552 methods that should have had them. [#581754, Ross Burton]
1554 Changes in libsoup from 2.26.1 to 2.27.1:
1556 * SOUP_SESSION_TIMEOUT now works properly with
1557 SoupSessionAsync [#574414] and SSL [#578928]. Added
1558 tests/timeout-test to test this.
1562 * soup_date_to_string() now handles SOUP_DATE_RFC2822
1563 [#579055, Enrico Tröger]
1565 * soup_date_new_from_string() now accepts 24:00 as a
1566 time in ISO8601 timestamps
1568 * soup_date_to_string() now coerces the date to UTC
1569 for HTTP and cookie dates, and outputs the UTC
1570 correct offset for the other date types.
1572 * Added regression tests to tests/date
1574 * soup_headers_parse() now completely ignores
1575 syntactically-incorrect headers, rather than passing them to
1576 soup_message_headers_append() and causing a g_warning.
1577 soup_message_headers_append() now also rejects 0-length
1578 header names. Updated tests/header-parsing to check this.
1581 * Fix a crash when cancelling a message from a "restarted"
1582 handler, and updated a regression test to notice the
1583 underlying cause. [#580193]
1585 * Completing the API updates for #576760 from 2.26.1,
1586 soup_message_headers_get() is now marked deprecated in favor
1587 of soup_message_headers_get_one() and _get_list().
1589 Changes in libsoup from 2.26.0 to 2.26.1:
1591 * libsoup uses libproxy for PAC and WPAD proxy resolution
1592 again. However, it arranges to do all communication with
1593 GConf itself, to ensure that libproxy doesn't call it in
1594 non-thread-safe ways. [#571527] Also, fixed a bug in
1595 SoupSessionSync when proxy resolution failed. [#574957,
1596 patch from Milan Crha].
1598 (Also fixed three SoupProxyResolverGNOME bugs since the
1599 2.26.0.9 preview release. [#578746, #578809])
1601 * SoupURI now handles unencoded spaces in URIs. In particular,
1602 redirects via Location headers with spaces in them now work.
1605 * libsoup can now deal with servers (and clients) that
1606 erroneously use LF LF instead of CR LF CR LF to separate
1607 the headers and body. [#571283]
1609 * Added soup_message_headers_get_one() and
1610 soup_message_headers_get_list(), which will eventually
1611 deprecate soup_message_headers_get(). This lets applications
1612 deal correctly with implementations that erroneously send
1613 multiple copies of single-valued headers. [#576760]
1615 * In particular, soup_message_headers_get_content_type() now
1616 ignores duplicate Content-Type headers [#576760] and also
1617 ignores syntactically-incorrect Content-Type headers.
1620 * SoupCookieJar can now store multiple cookies with the same
1621 domain and name, but different paths. [#577360]
1623 * Abnormal SSL connection closes are now treated as ordinary
1624 EOFs, for compatibility with certain sites. [#577386]
1626 * soup_header_g_string_append_param() now allows NULL values.
1629 * soup_message_headers_append() now rejects header names and
1630 values with newlines or certain other illegal data in them,
1631 rather than generating syntactically invalid headers.
1633 * Fixed a small bug in soup_date_new_from_string's ISO 8601
1634 handling [qv #578369 for g_time_val_from_iso8601].
1636 * The regression tests now work correctly on machines where
1637 "localhost" resolves to "::1" instead of "127.0.0.1".
1638 [#576583, patch from Andreas Rottmann]
1640 * Fixed warnings when a message has a network problem when
1641 many other messages are queued. [#578809]
1643 * Miscellaneous documentation fixes/clarifications.
1645 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.91 to 2.26.0:
1647 * Temporarily disable libproxy support to work around a bug in
1648 its gnome plugin that causes gvfsd-http (and probably
1649 eventually other apps) to crash. [#571527]. For now,
1650 SoupProxyResolverGNOME uses only GConf. To be fixed in
1653 * Fixed a bug that showed up in WebKit, where if many messages
1654 were queued all at once to a server that doesn't support
1655 persistent connections, some of the requests will get lost.
1656 #574365, reported by Xan Lopez.
1658 * Fixed SoupServer to support using SOUP_ENCODING_EOF, so you
1659 can stream responses of unknown length to HTTP/1.0 clients.
1660 [#572153]. Added a regression test for this, and for chunked
1661 and Content-Length-based streaming.
1663 * Fixed several bugs that prevented SoupCookieJarSqlite from
1664 working. [#572409, patch from Xan Lopez]
1666 * Added G_{BEGIN,END}_DECLS guards to public headers that were
1667 missing it. (Xan Lopez)
1669 * Misc gtk-doc improvements
1671 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.5 to 2.25.91:
1673 * Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGNOME when the proxy
1674 requires authentication. (This does not make proxy
1675 authentication *work* yet, it just makes it not crash.)
1677 * Updated documentation
1679 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.4 to 2.25.5:
1681 * SoupProxyResolverGConf (which was incomplete) is gone, and
1682 libsoup-gnome now requires libproxy, which is now officially
1683 an external dependency of GNOME.
1685 * Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJar that was making it send
1686 "Cookie: (null)" when it had no cookies for a site, which
1687 confused some web servers (WebKit bug 23240).
1689 * Fixed a bug with using SOUP_MEMORY_TEMPORARY buffers and
1690 soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE). (Part of WebKit bug
1691 18343, noticed by Gustavo Noronha Silva.)
1693 * Fixed the build with non-gcc compilers
1695 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.3 to 2.25.4:
1697 * Added soup_session_get_feature() and
1698 soup_session_get_features(), to query the features currently
1699 available in a session (which is needed by the patch in
1700 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22624)
1702 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.2 to 2.25.3:
1704 * Fixed a crash when using both cookies and a proxy. [#562191,
1707 * Fixed soup_form_decode() to correctly handle forms with
1708 URI-encoded parameter names [#563302, Evan Nemerson] and
1709 added a regression test.
1711 * Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGConf. [#563145]
1713 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.1 to 2.25.2:
1715 * Fixed client behavior when presented with multiple auth
1716 types to choose the *strongest* auth type (eg, Digest)
1717 rather than the *weakest* one [#562339, Pontus Oldberg].
1718 Added a regression test for this.
1720 * Moved libsoup-gnome headers to a different directory to make
1721 it easier to split libsoup and libsoup-gnome into separate
1722 packages, and to ensure that things that only want to be
1723 looking at plain libsoup headers (like gir-repository) don't
1724 accidentally see the libsoup-gnome ones.
1726 * Some minor doc fixes
1728 * Fixed libsoup-gnome linking with --as-needed. [#559342]
1730 Changes in libsoup from 2.24.1 to 2.25.1:
1732 libsoup 2.25.1 introduces a new library, libsoup-gnome, which
1733 will be used for features which are important to GNOME apps,
1734 but which require GNOME-specific libraries that non-GNOME apps
1735 may not want to add dependencies on.
1737 In 2.25.1, libsoup-gnome contains:
1739 * SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME, a SoupSessionFeature
1740 type that can be added to a SoupSession to provide
1741 automatic proxy handling via the GConf proxy keys. (See
1742 below) The default implementation uses libproxy, which
1743 also handles WPAD, PAC, etc, but if libproxy is not
1744 available it will use GConf directly, supporting only
1745 the basic HTTP proxy functionality.
1747 * SoupCookieJarSqlite, a SoupSessionFeature that handles
1748 cookies and stores them in a Firefox 3-compatible sqlite
1749 file. (This is not actually a "GNOME-specific" feature,
1750 but I didn't want to make libsoup itself depend on
1751 sqlite, and I didn't want to make the dependency
1752 optional. This might change before 2.26.)
1754 * SOUP_TYPE_GNOME_FEATURES_2_26: a SoupSessionFeature type
1755 that can be added to a SoupSession to add all
1756 GNOME-integration features that are available for 2.26;
1757 as of 2.25.1, this is just the GNOME proxy resolver, but
1758 by 2.26.0 it may also include gnome-keyring support and
1759 possibly other features.
1761 Applications/libraries that are currently doing GConf proxy
1762 lookup by hand can be updated as follows:
1764 * Remove all of the existing code that listens to the
1765 GConf keys and sets SOUP_SESSION_PROXY_URI
1767 * Change the configure check to require
1768 "libsoup-gnome-2.4 >= 2.25.1" instead of "libsoup-2.4"
1770 * #include <libsoup/soup-gnome.h>
1772 * After creating your SoupSession, do:
1774 soup_session_add_feature_by_type (session, SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME);
1776 (Or alternatively, use SOUP_SESSION_ADD_FEATURE_BY_TYPE
1777 with soup_session_async_new_with_options() or
1778 soup_session_sync_new_with_options().)
1781 Other new features and bug fixes in 2.25.1 include:
1783 * SoupCookieJarText, like SoupCookieJarSqlite, but using the
1784 old-style cookies.txt format, and in the base libsoup rather
1787 * Various bugfixes to SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar to fix the
1788 problems with cookies not working on certain sites.
1790 * The new SoupMultipart type provides support for multipart
1791 MIME bodies, and soup-form now includes several methods for
1792 generating and parsing multipart form data and file uploads.
1794 * SoupMessageHeaders now has methods for easy handling of the
1795 Content-Type, Content-Disposition, Range, and Content-Range
1796 headers. The Content-Disposition handling recognizes
1797 RFC2231-encoded UTF-8 filenames.
1799 * SoupServer now automatically handles partial GET requests;
1800 if your server returns SOUP_STATUS_OK in response to a
1801 partial GET, libsoup will automatically convert it to a
1802 SOUP_STATUS_PARTIAL_CONTENT response with only the requested
1805 Thanks to Xan Lopez and Diego Escalante Urrelo for their work
1806 on SoupCookie, SoupCookieJar, SoupCookieJarText, and
1807 SoupCookieJarSqlite.
1809 Changes in libsoup from 2.24.0.1 to 2.24.1:
1811 * Fixed a crash when unreffing the session from a
1812 soup_session_queue_message() callback [#533473], and added
1813 regression test. In particular, this fixes a crash in
1814 seahorse when trying to connect to a non-responsive
1817 * Fixed an infinite loop when giving a bad password to a site
1818 that uses non-standard capitalization in the
1819 WWW-Authenticate header (eg, gmail.com) [#536285].
1821 * Fixed a leak in SoupSessionAsync when using a non-default
1822 GMainContext. [addendum to #498509, Arnout Vandecappelle]
1823 Added additional code to the regression tests to make sure
1824 sessions and servers do not get leaked.
1826 * Fixed a leak in the XML-RPC code
1828 * Compile fixes for "gcc -pedantic" [#553976, Sander Dijkhuis]
1829 and -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED / -DG_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES
1830 [#557072, Cosimo Cecchi]
1832 * Patched xmlrpc-test to accept the incorrect response to
1833 test_echo() that php-xmlrpc gives when it's built against
1834 libxml2 >= 2.7.1 (qv http://bugs.php.net/45996), so that
1835 I can "make distcheck"...
1837 * Updated generated documentation
1839 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.92 to 2.24.0.1:
1841 * Reverted part of the fix for #528882, which caused the DAAP
1842 plugin in rhythmbox to crash. [#553466]
1844 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.91 to 2.23.92:
1846 * Fixed the handling of a 302 response to a HEAD request,
1847 which should NOT be treated like a 303 response. [#551190,
1850 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.6 to 2.23.91:
1852 * Fixed a crash in gvfs [#528882], though there is still an
1853 unknown bug there. As part of this fix, libsoup will now
1854 return an error if you try to do an operation on a non-HTTP
1855 URI. (Previously it was just treating any URI scheme except
1858 * Added soup_date_to_timeval() for gvfs. [#549006, patch from
1861 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.1 to 2.23.6:
1863 * Fixed use of g_idle_add() so that heavy I/O won't end up
1864 blocking libsoup callbacks. [#536676, Benjamin Otte]
1866 * Allow the caller to override the Host header. [#539803, Marc
1869 * Properly handle responses larger than 4G. [#539861, Peter
1872 * Fixed the build when using certain LDFLAGS [#541506, Götz
1875 * Fixed a small bug in Digest auth handling. [#544681, Mads
1878 * Fixed multiple Windows bugs [Tor Lillqvist]
1880 Changes in libsoup from 2.4.1 to 2.23.1:
1882 * This is the first unstable release leading up to GNOME 2.24.
1883 Bumped the libsoup version number up to 2.23.x to match the
1884 GNOME version; note that the API version is still "2.4",
1885 meaning in particular that you still call it "libsoup-2.4"
1886 when using pkg-config.
1888 * Added SoupSessionFeature, an interface type that will be
1889 used for several new features. Ported SoupLogger and
1890 SoupAuthManager to use it.
1892 * Added SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar. This API is already
1893 being used in Epiphany, via WebKit, but it is not yet
1896 * Fixed GnuTLS support on Win32. [#528752, Marc Maurer]
1898 Changes in libsoup from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1:
1900 * Fixed SoupMessage to not downgrade to HTTP/1.0 for the
1901 second attempt when it receives an HTTP/1.0 redirect or 401.
1902 [#521848, Tommu Komulainen]
1904 * Fixed Host: header syntax when the host is an IPv6 address
1907 * Fixed SoupSession to not emit "authenticate" multiple times
1908 for messages that have been requeued. [#522601, Tommi
1909 Komulainen]. Also added two new signals to SoupSession,
1910 request-queued and request-unqueued, to help simplify
1911 certain session-helpers and avoid bugs like this in the
1914 * Fixed soup_server_pause_message() to actually work (rather
1915 than *un*pausing the message).
1917 * Added a property SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT that can be used
1918 to set a timeout after which idle connections will
1919 automatically be closed. [#518214, Jorn Baayen]
1921 * Implemented RFC 2069-style Digest auth, and fixed SoupAuth
1922 to compare auth scheme names case-insensitively, to fix
1923 authentication against Apple's calendar server. [#498484]
1925 * Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDomainDigest if the client provided
1926 an unrecognized username. [pointed out by Curtis Magyar on
1929 * Fixed a few SoupDate bugs. (In particular, it was outputting
1930 the wrong day of the week when stringifying dates.)
1932 * Improved the cleanup of idle connections, to fix slow load
1933 times with the libsoup backend of WebKit.
1935 * Added a new SoupMessage signal "wrote-body-data" that can be
1936 used for progress information when sending a large request
1937 body. Also allow providing the request body in multiple
1938 chunks even when using Content-Length encoding. [#525101,
1941 * libsoup now ignores SIGPIPE globally, instead of
1942 un-thread-safe-ly ignoring it only around network writes. In
1943 particular, this means it is ignored when the SSL code needs
1944 to unexpectedly do a write when we asked it to do a read.
1945 [#524397, Curtis Magyar]
1947 * The discard-body-chunks-once-they're-no-longer-needed
1948 behavior, confusingly called SOUP_MESSAGE_OVERWRITE_CHUNKS,
1949 is now controlled by a SoupMessageBody method
1950 (soup_message_body_set_accumulate()), and can be applied to
1951 either the request body or the response body.
1952 (OVERWRITE_CHUNKS is still available for backward
1953 compatibility.) [#522146, Christian Kellner]
1955 * The DNS cache no longer caches "no such host" results, since
1956 some name servers lie to clients outside their firewall,
1957 which could then cause problems for laptops moved between
1958 networks. [#523269, Jörgen Scheibengruber]
1960 * Added some new regression tests, fixed some small bugs in
1963 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.4 to 2.4.0:
1965 * Fixed a small memory leak in SoupSession. [#518798, Wouter
1968 * Minor fixes to redirect behavior; PROPFINDs can now be
1969 automatically redirected (pointed out by Christian Kellner),
1970 and 302 is treated like 307, not 303. Also fixed to make
1971 sure that redirect-test actually gets run by "make check".
1973 * The SoupSocket I/O methods now set nread/nwrote even on
1974 error. [Benjamin Otte]
1976 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.2 to 2.3.4:
1978 * The documentation should be accessible from devhelp again
1979 [#518384, Mart Raudsepp]. (Also fixed another
1980 documentation-generation bug that affected builds from svn,
1981 but not the 2.3.2 tarball for some reason. [#518317,
1984 * Fixed dependencies in libsoup-2.4.pc file [#517631,
1987 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.0.1 to 2.3.2:
1989 API changes / Behavior changes:
1991 * soup_server_add_auth_domain() now refs the auth domain when
1992 adding it. (soup_server_remove_auth_domain() already
1993 unreffed it.) This means existing applications using
1994 SoupAuthDomain will now have a small memory leak. Those
1995 applications should update their libsoup-2.4 requirement to
1996 ">= 2.3.2" at some point before the final GNOME 2.22.0
1997 release, and then fix the code to unref the auth domain
1998 after adding it to the server.
2000 * SoupSession's automatic redirect-handling behavior now obeys
2001 RFC 2616 more closely. In particular, status codes 300 and
2002 304 are no longer mistakenly considered redirects; POSTs
2003 that receive 303 are now redirected into GETs; and POSTs
2004 that receive 301, 302, or 307 are now not redirected.
2006 Applications that were using the SOUP_MESSAGE_NO_REDIRECT
2007 flag to prevent libsoup from redirecting POSTs incorrectly
2008 before should now be able to remove that if they depend on
2009 libsoup-2.4 >= 2.3.2.
2013 * Added a SOUP_SESSION_USER_AGENT property to SoupSession, and
2014 SOUP_SERVER_SERVER_HEADER to SoupServer, to support
2015 automatically adding "User-Agent" and "Server" headers to
2016 messages. (The default behavior is to do nothing, as
2019 * Added several new methods to soup-forms.h. Applications that
2020 are encoding a fixed set of form fields can now just pass
2021 them to soup_form_encode(), rather than needing to construct
2022 a GHashTable or GData list. (Likewise, the new
2023 soup_uri_set_query_from_fields() behaves similarly for
2024 directly updating a URI with form data.) There are also now
2025 soup_form_request_new() and other related methods, to
2026 directly create a GET or POST SoupMessage for submitting a
2029 The original soup_form_* methods have all been renamed,
2030 although #defines exist for backward compatibility.
2032 * Added soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() and
2033 soup_buffer_new_with_owner(), to give applications more
2034 control over memory usage/copying when doing streaming HTTP.
2035 [Wouter Cloetens, #513810].
2037 * Added several new methods to soup-value-utils.h for working
2038 with multiple array or hash table values at once:
2039 soup_value_hash_new_with_vals(),
2040 soup_value_hash_insert_vals(),
2041 soup_value_hash_lookup_vals(),
2042 soup_value_array_new_with_vals(), and
2043 soup_value_array_append_vals().
2045 This helps to simplify XML-RPC calls that send or receive
2048 * Added soup_date_to_time_t().
2050 * Added SoupMessageHeadersIterator, an iterator type for
2051 SoupMessageHeaders that can be used instead of
2052 soup_message_headers_foreach().
2056 * Fixed a crash-when-idle in evolution-exchange [#437835] and
2057 rhythmbox [#506552].
2059 * Added the API version to the gtk-doc installation dir, to
2060 prevent parallel-installation problems with libsoup 2.2 and
2061 2.4. [#512810, Daniel Gryniewicz].
2063 * Fixed tests/query-test to compile correctly on Solaris.
2064 [#513602, patch from Jeff Cai]
2066 * Fixed some other minor HTTP conformance issues.
2070 * Although not present in the release tarball, there are now
2071 experimental python bindings for libsoup in GNOME subversion
2072 (in the python/ subdirectory of libsoup trunk). These are
2073 not yet stable (and are not built by default or installed
2074 even when building from svn), but comments on them are
2075 welcome at libsoup-list@gnome.org
2077 Changes in libsoup from the 2.2 series to 2.3.0.1:
2079 libsoup 2.3.0 is the first beta release of the libsoup 2.4
2080 series. It is an API break from the earlier 2.2 series that
2081 fixes various bugs and API warts and lays the groundwork for
2082 language bindings and various new features in upcoming
2085 (2.3.0.1 is identical to the 2.3.0 release in terms of code,
2086 but includes this updated NEWS file which was accidentally
2087 left out of the 2.3.0 tarball.)
2089 http://library.gnome.org/devel/libsoup/unstable/libsoup-porting-2.2-2.4.html
2090 goes over the API changes in detail. If you have questions not
2091 answered by the porting document, please send mail to
2092 libsoup-list@gnome.org.
2094 Specific user-reported bugs fixed in this release:
2096 * SoupURI now correctly handles URIs with complex encoded
2097 queries [#266516, Jean-Yves Lefort]
2099 * It is now possible for a SoupServer to use Digest auth
2100 without needing to have the cleartext password available.
2101 [#347108, Anas Nashif]
2103 * Digest authentication now properly handles "stale=true" and
2104 "nextnonce=..." [#471380, Jari Urpalainen]
2106 * SoupServer is now subclassible [#491653, Mathias Hasselmann]
2108 * soup_server_run_async and soup_server_quit no longer ref and
2109 unref the server, as that doesn't match ordinary GObject
2110 conventions [#494128, Mathias Hasselmann]
2112 * The test programs no longer use a symbol name that conflicts
2113 with Cygwin [#501631, Cygwin Ports Maintainer]
2115 * libsoup can now handle the not-quite-HTTP responses returned
2116 by Shoutcast servers [#502325, Wouter Cloetens]
2118 * If you use libsoup while disconnected from the network, it
2119 no longer caches the failed DNS results [#508593, Bradley
2122 Items from http://live.gnome.org/LibSoup/ToDo fixed:
2124 * "Expect: 100-continue" processing now works correctly on
2125 both client and server.
2127 * SoupSessions are no longer leaked
2129 * The XML-RPC API is improved. The SOAP API is gone...
2131 * Added utility functions for HTML form handling
2133 * Improved message header handling
2135 * SoupServer now automatically adds a "Date" header
2139 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.103 to 2.2.104:
2141 * soup_message_io_pause() and soup_message_io_pause() are now
2142 allowed for client messages (and in particular, they don't
2143 mess up when called from the "got_chunk" callback).
2144 [#452280, Marco Barisione]
2146 * Fixed some bugs in SOUP_SESSION_ASYNC_CONTEXT support that
2147 would cause parts of an operation to run in the default
2148 context rather than the session's context. Also fixed some
2149 leaks and added a regression test. [#498509, Wouter
2152 * There is a new test/sample program, tests/pull-api.c,
2153 showing how to implement a pull API using SoupSessionAsync.
2154 (This depends on the fixes for #452280 and #498509, so it
2155 won't work with older versions of libsoup.)
2157 * Discovered "valgrind --leak-resolution=med" and fixed some
2160 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.102 to 2.2.103:
2162 * Fix memory corruption in SoupSessionAsync that caused
2163 rhythmbox to crash. [#484988, patch from Rob Bradford]
2165 * Fix socket refcounting in SoupServer to fix warnings /
2166 possible crash. [#459896, Emanuele Aina]
2168 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.101 to 2.2.102:
2170 * Unbreak the build when building without SSL. Not that you
2171 should be building without SSL anyway, but... (reported by
2174 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.100 to 2.2.101:
2176 * Fix build on cygwin [384498]
2178 * Fix SSL rehandshaking on synchronous sockets [415402, Jacob
2179 Berkman] and add a regression test for it.
2181 * Fix two bugs in https tunnels over proxies that require
2182 authentication (noticed by Varadhan), and add a regression
2185 * Ensure that if you queue multiple messages at once to an
2186 http server that requires authentication but that you
2187 haven't authenticated to yet, that all of the messages get
2188 properly authenticated [271540, James Willcox]. And add a
2189 regression test for it.
2191 * Fix NTLM authentication, which got broken by the previous
2192 fix. [471389, Varadhan]. Add a basic NTLM regression test
2193 that doesn't really test the crypto/encoding parts, but at
2194 least makes sure that the message flow is correct.
2196 * Allow trailing whitespace after HTTP version in
2197 Response-Line, for compatibility with broken servers
2198 [475169, Stephane Loeuillet]. Add that case to the
2199 header-parsing regression test.
2201 * Fix crash when the session's "authenticate" handler returns
2202 a username and no password when using NTLM. [480987, Wendell
2205 * Use "new" glib base64 and iso8601 methods rather than
2206 duplicating them. [337010, patch from Emmanuele Bassi].
2208 * Implement soup_session_queue_message() for SoupSessionSync.
2210 * Add G_BEGIN_DECLS / G_END_DECLS to all headers that were
2211 missing them. [438776, patch from Jonathon Jongsma].
2213 * Fix broken definition of SOUP_IS_MESSAGE_FILTER_CLASS. Noted
2214 by "cascardo" on libsoup-list.
2216 * Remove documentation of non-public MD5 methods [440092,
2217 Jonathon Jongsma]. Removed a mysterious half-sentence in the
2218 SoupMessage docs [458116, Marco Barisione].
2220 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.99 to 2.2.100:
2222 * Fixed soup_headers_parse_status_line() so WebDAV response
2223 parsing will work again. [406997]
2225 * Fixed a bug in the header-parsing regression test that
2226 caused the test to fail sometimes, even though the actual
2227 header-parsing code was fine.
2229 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.98 to 2.2.99:
2231 * Fixed header parsing, including a crash in SoupServer with
2232 certain malformed requests [391970].
2234 * Fixed redirection to other hosts with SoupSessionAsync.
2237 * Fixed a small memory leak pointed out by Chris Austin.
2239 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.97 to 2.2.98:
2241 * The XML-RPC code now correctly interprets <value>foo</value>
2242 as meaning the same thing as
2243 <value><string>foo</string></value>. [364490] Pointed out by
2246 * Memory leak fixes from Andrew W. Nosenko.
2248 * A few symbols that should have been static before now are.
2249 [376387] Patch from Matthias Clasen.
2251 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.96 to 2.2.97:
2253 * Fixed SOAP and XML-RPC code to handle whitespace and
2254 comments in the XML better. (Based on a patch from Andrew W.
2257 * Fixed lots of typecasting/constness warnings in the code
2258 (mostly via a patch from Andrew W. Nosenko)
2260 * Fixed build on Cygwin [321827]
2262 * Fixed libsoup-2.2.pc fields [343340] and make it get
2263 uninstalled correctly [356809]. (Mikhail Zabaluev and
2266 * Fixed some small leaks in SoupServer pointed out by Paolo
2269 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.95.1 to 2.2.96:
2271 * SoupServer now works even if you don't explicitly set an
2272 encoding for the response. (In particular, the automatic 404
2273 if you request a path with no handlers now works. Problem
2274 pointed out by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn.)
2276 * WWW-Authenticate and Proxy-Authenticate responses with no
2277 realm parameter are now ignored, as per RFC 2617, fixing a
2278 crash pointed out by Nate Nielsen.
2280 * Added soup_xmlrpc_message_from_string(), from Fernando
2283 * simple-httpd and "get" now support HEAD
2285 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.94 to 2.2.95.1:
2287 * Even more fixes to XML-RPC, found by the new XML-RPC
2288 regression test. This includes some API changes that I don't
2289 feel guilty about, because the code totally didn't work at
2292 * Fixed a bug in soup_mktime_utc()
2294 * (2.2.95 was identical to 2.2.95.1. The only difference is
2295 that the shared library version was belatedly bumped from
2296 8.2.0 to 8.3.0 to reflect the API "additions")
2298 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.93 to 2.2.94:
2300 * Various fixes to the XML-RPC code (which apparently had not
2301 actually ever worked before) from Brent Smith. [343973,
2304 * Added client and server API tutorials to the docs
2306 * auth-test now uses a local Apache 2.2 install, if possible,
2307 rather than depending on files that used to be on an old
2308 Ximian web server but haven't been anywhere for a long time.
2311 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.92 to 2.2.93:
2313 * Fixed outgoing data corruption caused when SoupServer
2314 started writing out a response a second time after already
2315 having started once. [334469]. Also fixed 342640 and another
2316 bug caused by the workaround for 334469 in 2.2.92. Based on
2317 patches and analysis from William Jon McCann and Armin
2320 * Fixed a deadlock when changing a session's proxy URI.
2321 [309867 / bnc 174255, based on a patch by Veerapuram
2324 * Fixed https-via-proxies in the synchronous case. [bnc 174255]
2326 * Fixed a crash in evolution-exchange [342545, fix based on an
2327 analysis by Wang Xin].
2329 * Fixed simple-proxy to not crash at startup. Oops. (Alex
2332 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.91 to 2.2.92:
2334 * Fixed server-side digest auth to return a valid "algorithm"
2335 value and client-side to not crash if it sees an invalid one
2338 * Fixed the Request-Line parsing code to not hardcode a
2339 maximum URI length (to allow very long DAAP requests from
2340 iTunes in Rhythmbox). [335040]
2342 * Fixed some warnings (signed/unsigned mismatch).
2344 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.7 to 2.2.91:
2346 * (The large version number bump is because there was an
2347 internal 2.2.90 release for SUSE 10.1 alphas, which was
2348 supposed to be intermediate between 2.2.7 and 2.4.0. But
2349 2.4.0 didn't end up happening, and I don't want to regress
2350 the version number at this point.)
2352 * SoupSession, SoupServer, SoupConnection, SoupSocket, and
2353 SoupAddress now have an "async-context" property that allows
2354 you to use the async API in a non-default GMainContext.
2355 [Based on patches from Armin Bauer and Jürg Billeter.]
2357 * SoupSession, SoupConnection, and SoupSocket now have a
2358 "timeout" property to stop synchronous sockets from hanging
2359 forever if the remote end is unresponsive (from Varadhan).
2361 * Fixed some bugs in soup_date_iso8601_parse(). [324671, from
2364 * More Windows build fixes from Tor.
2366 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6.1 to 2.2.7:
2368 * Fixed a crash when using NTLM connections [316313, probably
2369 also 318252]. (Also 321208, which was a bug introduced in
2370 the original fix for 316313.)
2372 * Fixed a bug that could cause soup to suck up all available
2373 CPU when a connection to a SoupServer was dropped by the
2374 other side [319305, patch from Jonathan Matthew]
2376 * Fixed the creation of struct elements in XMLRPC messages
2377 [321362, patch from Sebastian Bauer]
2379 * Plugged a small memory leak in SoupSocket (from Wang Xin).
2381 * Fixed two compile problems, a gccism [320349, patch from
2382 Roland Illig], and a strict-aliasing warning from gcc 4.1.
2384 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6 to 2.2.6.1:
2386 * Fixed a crash when using SoupSoapMessage
2388 Changes from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6:
2390 * Fixed a crash when canceling a message (from Tambet Ingo)
2392 * Fixed a bug where a connection could be leaked forever in
2393 some circumstances if a request got a 30x, 401, or 407
2394 response, eventually causing a hang when the session hit its
2395 maximum connection limit. (Dan/Tambet)
2397 * Fixed a memory leak. (Tambet)
2399 * Fixed a bug that would sometimes show up when connecting to
2400 a server on localhost [#312540]
2402 * Added some API to SoupServer and SoupSocket to help fix a
2403 long-standing rcd bug.
2405 Changes from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5:
2407 * Win32 support (from Tor Lillqvist)
2409 * Up-to-date API documentation pretty much everywhere
2411 * Basic XMLRPC support (from Mariano Suarez-Alvarez, Fernando
2412 Herrera, and Jeff Bailey)
2414 * New HTTP timestamp-manipulation methods soup_date_parse,
2415 soup_date_generate, and soup_date_iso8601_parse.
2417 * SoupSession now handles relative URLs in the Location header
2418 (in violation of RFC 2616, but in line with how some servers
2421 Changes from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4:
2423 * Fixed a problem with NTLM authentication against
2424 multi-domain servers. [306877]
2426 * Fixed DNS lookups on Solaris. [254551, 268389]
2428 Changes from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3:
2430 * Now compiles against gnutls 1.2.0 [257811]
2432 * Fixed a bug that could result in 100% CPU usage if an SSL
2433 server closed the connection uncleanly. [273352]
2435 Changes from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2:
2437 * The SSL validation fix from 2.2.1 [264414] is now completely
2438 fixed. (Part of the fix didn't actually make it into 2.2.1)
2440 * HTTPS certificate validation now works when using an HTTP
2443 * HTTP proxy code deals better with proxies that try to make
2444 the user do HTML-form-based authentication. [268531]
2446 * 64-bit fixes for NTLM auth code. [270323, from Michael
2449 Changes from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1:
2451 * Updated for a libgcrypt API change between 1.1.9x and 1.2.x
2452 that caused a crash at runtime if you compiled against
2455 * SSL certificate validation failure should now always result
2456 in a status of SOUP_STATUS_SSL_FAILED, rather than getting
2457 turned into SOUP_STATUS_IO_ERROR. [264414]
2460 Changes in libsoup from the 2.0 series (1.99.x versions) to 2.2:
2462 * Most of the libsoup datatypes are now GObjects. (SoupUri
2463 is currently an exception to this.)
2465 * SoupMessage now emits signals at various stages of
2466 processing. (Eg, "wrote_body", "got_headers".) (You
2467 can also still use soup_message_add_*handler().)
2469 * SoupContexts are gone; soup_message_new() now takes a URI
2472 * All formerly global state is now maintained by the
2473 SoupSession object. (This includes the connection pool,
2474 proxy server, cached authentication information, SSL
2477 * You can create a SoupSessionAsync (for 2.0-like
2478 behavior) or SoupSessionSync (for blocking,
2481 * You can add SoupMessageFilter objects to a session
2482 to have certain processing automatically performed
2483 on every message sent via that session. (Eg, setting
2486 * NTLM authentication is no longer supported by
2487 default. You must enable it by setting the
2488 SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM flag on the session.
2490 * The preferred method of handling authentication is
2491 now via the "authenticate" and "reauthenticate"
2492 signals on SoupSession. (The old style, of encoding
2493 the user and password information into the url is
2494 also still supported.)
2496 * The SOUP_ERROR_* values are now SOUP_STATUS_* (so that we
2497 don't have "SOUP_ERROR_OK" and the like).
2499 * SOUP_MESSAGE_IS_ERROR() is gone, since some cases
2500 want to include 3xx responses and some don't.
2502 * SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE and
2503 SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE_PROXY are now gone,
2504 since they didn't carry any information that
2505 SOUP_STATUS_UNAUTHORIZED and
2506 SOUP_STATUS_PROXY_UNAUTHORIZED don't.
2508 * DNS errors now show up as the new status code
2509 SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than being mixed in
2510 with SOUP_ERROR_CANT_CONNECT.
2512 * Minimal SOAP support has been added back, via
2513 SoupSoapMessage/SoupSoapResponse
2515 * The HTTP I/O state machine was completely rewritten, fixing
2516 numerous crashes, leaks, and protocol errors.
2518 * SoupUri now conforms to RFC 2396. Mostly.
2520 * Various test programs have been added under tests/
2524 * Support for OpenSSL (which was horribly buggy) and
2525 Mozilla NSS (which was never finished). We only
2526 support GNUTLS for SSL now.
2530 * CGI support in SoupServer
