1 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.91 to 2.41.92:
3 * Fixed a bug that caused libsoup to retry an incorrect
4 password repeatedly, forever, in a certain case that
5 affected Google calendars in evolution in particuar.
6 [Red Hat bug #916224, Dan]
8 * Also added code to make such infinite retry loops impossible
11 * Fixed SoupRequestData's handling of URIs with "%00" in them.
12 [#695246, Žan Doberšek]
14 * Added the SoupSession:proxy-resolver property, to override
15 the GProxyResolver used by a session. (This means there are
16 now three different ways of controlling proxy resolution in
17 SoupSession... this will be cleaned up a bit after 2.42.)
20 * Added missing G_BEGIN_DECLS/G_END_DECLS to
21 soup-message-headers.h, so that its functions can be called
22 from C++. [Carlos Garcia Campos]
24 * Updated translations:
25 Assamese, Belarusian, Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan
26 (Valencian), Catalan, Danish, Estonian, French, Greek,
27 Gujarati, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Portuguese, Russian,
30 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.90 to 2.41.91:
32 * Fixed a crash that showed up with XMLRPC requests in
33 WebKitGTK. [#694920, Sergio]
35 * Fixed SoupCache to update the cached headers when it
36 receives a 304 Not Modified response, and added a test for
37 this. [#695121, Sergio]
39 * libsoup now builds under automake 1.13 (and "make check"
40 works under the parallel test harness which is the default
43 * The tests/ directory now contains only actual test programs
44 that are run by "make check", and the programs that are
45 intended more as example code are under examples/.
47 * New/updated translations:
48 Aragonese, Chinese (traditional), Czech, Galician, Hebrew,
49 Lithuanian, Norwegian bokmål, Punjabi, Spanish, Uyghur,
52 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.5 to 2.41.90:
54 * Added SoupSession:local-address property, which allows you
55 to force connections to bind to a particular local address
56 (eg, to control the interface that is used). [#693215, Jonh
59 * Fixed SoupCache to properly handle messages that get
60 cancelled, and added tests for this. [#692310, Sergio]
62 * Fixed a reference leak in SoupCache that resulted in
63 epiphany hanging for several seconds on exit and then
64 eventually printing "Cache flush finished despite X pending
65 requests". And added more tests. [#682527, Sergio]
67 * Fixed SoupAuthNTLM so that SoupSession:authenticate gets
68 emitted with retrying=TRUE if the first attempt fails (ie,
69 make it work the same way as SoupAuthBasic and
70 SoupAuthDigest). [#693222, Dan]
72 * Fixed the SoupSession:add-feature-by-type property to accept
73 non-SoupSessionFeature features as well (eg, auth types)
76 * Fixed a build bug that would break all the apache-based
77 tests if you didn't have PHP installed. [#693311, Dan]
79 * Updated translations:
80 Malayalam, Polish, Serbian, Slovak
82 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.4 to 2.41.5:
84 * Reverted the change to SoupURI's password handling from
85 2.41.4, since it turns out to have broken some things.
88 * Avoid a g_return_if_fail() when loading
89 SoupSession:ssl-ca-file fails. [#691930, Guillaume
92 * Fixed a bug in SoupBodyInputStream that caused redirects in
93 WebKitGTK to hang. [#692026, Sergio]
95 * Updated translations:
96 Belarusian, Chinese (traditional), German, Italian,
97 Norwegian bokmål, Serbian, Uyghur
99 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.3 to 2.41.4:
101 * Lots of docs fixes, including catching up with some (but not
102 all!) of the API additions and deprecations, and a new
103 chapter with hints on porting from
104 SoupSessionAsync/SoupSessionSync to the new-and-improved
107 * The plain SoupSession type now supports
108 soup_session_queue_message() (with SoupSessionAsync
109 semantics) and soup_session_send_message() (with
110 SoupSessionSync semantics), and there are now
111 soup_session_new() and soup_session_new_with_options().
113 * The mirroring of the SoupMessage API onto SoupRequestHTTP,
114 added in 2.41.3, has been reverted. However, new APIs
115 soup_session_send() and soup_session_send_async() have been
116 added that let you use the GInputStream-based API with
117 SoupMessages rather than SoupRequest, so if you're doing
118 HTTP-specific stuff, you can just use that instead.
120 * soup_message_get_https_status() now returns the certificate
121 and flags for unsuccessful https connections as well as
122 successful ones. [#690176]
124 * Fixed a deadlock when calling soup_session_abort() on a
125 SoupSessionSync in some cases. [#691399]
127 * Internal SoupCache rewrites/improvements [#682112, Sergio]
129 * Plugged a memory leak in SoupCache [#690382, Sudarsana
130 Nagineni] and one in SoupAuthDigest [#690142]
132 * LIBSOUP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED has been renamed to
133 SOUP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, but that's just to keep gtk-doc
134 happy, and you shouldn't use it. You should use
135 SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED instead.
137 * Fixed the samba-windbind-based NTLM support, which appears
138 to have been broken before.
140 * SoupAuthManager is now a public class (so you can remove it
141 as a feature from a session, or disable it for a particular
142 message). It also has a new method
143 soup_auto_manager_use_auth(), which can be used to "preload"
144 authentication for a host so that libsoup will use
145 authentication on the very first request.
147 * SoupURI now treats "http://user@example.com" as having a
148 password of "" rather than NULL, since a NULL password would
149 not be valid for any known HTTP auth type.
151 * build: libsoup now uses autoreconf instead of
152 gnome-autogen.sh, and no longer uses AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT
155 * Updated translations:
156 Assamese, Bulgarian, Estonian, Friulian, Galician, Hebrew,
157 Polish, Slovenian, Spanish
159 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.2 to 2.41.3 (codename: "I Left My
160 Deprecated APIs in A Coruña"):
162 * BUILD DEPENDENCY CHANGES: libsoup-gnome no longer depends on
163 libgnome-keyring, and the sqlite3 dependency has been moved
164 from libsoup-gnome to libsoup proper. (See below).
167 * SoupRequest is now stable API. SoupRequester, however, is
168 deprecated. Instead you can now call soup_session_request()
169 or soup_session_request_uri() to create a SoupRequest.
171 Some documentation has been updated to reflect this, but
172 much more still needs to be (in particular the "Client-side
175 * SoupRequestHTTP now has a number of fields and methods that
176 mirror the SoupMessage data, so you don't have to use
177 soup_request_http_get_message() in many cases. On the flip
178 side, there is also now soup_message_get_request(). And you
179 can create a SoupRequestHTTP directly (and override its
180 request method) by using soup_session_request_http() or
181 soup_session_request_http_uri()).
183 * soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() is now deprecated; apps
184 that want to do streaming reads should just use SoupRequest,
185 which is vastly more sane.
188 * SoupPasswordManager is now deprecated, and
189 SoupPasswordManagerGNOME is now a no-op (and libsoup-gnome
190 no longer links against libgnome-keyring). [#594377, #679866]
192 * SoupCookieJarSqlite is now deprecated in favor of
193 SoupCookieJarDB, which is exactly the same thing except that
194 it's in libsoup itself rather than being in libsoup-gnome
195 (something that many people have requested). This means that
196 libsoup now requires sqlite3... if this offends you horribly
197 then you have a few months to speak up...
199 * SoupProxyResolverGNOME is now deprecated; there hasn't been
200 any real reason to use it since SoupProxyResolverDefault was
203 * As a result of the last three items, libsoup-gnome now
204 consists entirely of deprecated APIs, and there is no reason
205 you should use it any more (though packagers need to keep
206 building it, for backward compatibility).
209 * SoupSession is no longer an abstract class, and you can
210 create a plain SoupSession, which behaves in a more
211 traditionally-gio-like way (allowing a mix of sync and async
212 methods, etc). This "plain" SoupSession also has more sane
213 default values of certain properties, and has certain
214 SoupSessionFeatures built in.
216 This will eventually replace SoupSessionAsync and
217 SoupSessionSync completely, but most of the documentation
218 hasn't yet been updated at this point...
220 This change involved merging the majority of the
221 SoupSessionAsync and SoupSessionSync code into SoupSession,
222 getting rid of lots of redundancy in the process. There may
223 be some bug fallout from this (probably on the
224 SoupSessionSync side, since WebKit's tests tend to shake out
225 all SoupSessionAsync bugs). However, this should help to
226 avoid SoupSessionSync-only bugs in the future, since much
227 more of the code is now shared.
230 * Usernames and passwords passed into SoupSession a URI will
231 now be cleared after they're used, so that if they are
232 wrong, the authenticate signal will be emitted on the next
233 round. [#689673, Martin Robinson]
235 * SoupURI now leaves "%00" in URIs as-is, rather than decoding
236 it to "\0", which was not intended and is never useful.
238 * Fixed a bug in SoupBodyOutputStream that could cause libsoup
239 to sometimes use blocking I/O rather than non-blocking when
240 writing chunked message bodies. [#688974, Milan Plzik]
242 * Fixed a bug in SoupFilterInputStream that could cause some
243 non-blocking reads to suck up CPU while waiting for the
244 network. (This was noticed with multipart/x-mixed-replace
245 processing; it's not clear if it affected anything else.)
248 * tests: misc small fixes
251 * New/updated translations:
252 Assamese, Galician, Japanese, Odia, Polish, Spanish
254 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.1 to 2.41.2:
256 * libsoup-2.4.so and libsoup-gnome-2.4.so now only export the
257 symbols that are part of the public API. (Plus, temporarily,
258 one additional symbol, soup_message_io_cleanup, which is
259 used by gvfs and possibly a few other modules, even though
260 it shouldn't be. If you copied soup-input-stream.c from
261 gvfs, you should port your code to use SoupRequest instead.)
264 * Added SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED / SOUP_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
265 macros like the corresponding glib ones, to allow libsoup
266 users to request per-version deprecation/availability
269 * Fixed a crash caused by a race condition in SoupSessionSync,
270 and reorganized some code to avoid other possible similar
271 race conditions. [#684238, Dan]
273 * Fixed a crash when a DNS resolution failed, caused by a bug
274 in the GTask porting in 2.41.1. [#688330, Milan Crha]
276 * Fixed a problem that would cause g_warning()s in epiphany
277 when browsing sites that (incorrectly) returned empty
278 Cache-Control headers. [#683433, Dan]
280 * We now add a Host header to HTTP/1.0 requests as well as
283 * Fixed a bug in the printing of IPv6 address literals in the
284 Host header in SoupLogger. (They were being sent across the
285 wire correctly, they were just printed wrong by SoupLogger.)
288 * Belatedly added soup-multipart-input-stream.h to soup.h.
291 * Removed an evil hack in the long-deprecated
292 SoupProxyResolver code (not to be confused with
293 SoupProxyURIResolver), to avoid warnings with glib master.
294 If you had previously implemented a custom
295 SoupProxyResolver, then it will probably (silently) stop
296 working, but you should have ported it to
297 SoupProxyURIResolver years ago anyway... [Dan, #687659]
299 * Fixed a few race conditions in the test programs that could
300 cause "make check" to fail on slow or heavily-loaded
303 * Further cleaned up and reorganized the internal HTTP I/O
304 codepaths, in preparation for an improved SoupCache.
305 [#682112, Sergio] (This change should not actually be
306 externally noticeable. But if SoupContentDecoder or
307 SoupContentSniffer turns out to be broken in this release,
310 * New/updated translations:
313 Changes in libsoup from 2.40.1 to 2.41.1:
315 * Changed the behavior of NTLM authentication to be more like
316 what other apps apparently do. Now if the user does not
317 specify a domain in the username (eg, "MYDOMAIN\username"),
318 then we will not specify a domain in the NTLM response
319 (rather than assuming that the user is in the server's
320 default domain). People who get broken by this change should
321 be able to fix it by including an explicit domain in their
322 username, but the theory is that no one should get broken by
323 this... If this change does turn out to hurt more than it
324 helps then it may be reverted later. [#624613, Dan, based on
325 a suggestion from David Woodhouse]
327 * Fixed a crash caused by a race condition in SoupSessionSync.
330 * SoupRequest now supports resource:// URIs, for reading from
331 gresource. [#682721, Carlos]
333 * Added new compile-time and runtime APIs for checking the
334 libsoup version. [#684514, Martin Robinson]
336 * Updated to take advantage of (and require) glib 2.35;
337 removed all g_type_init() calls and ported to GTask. [Dan]
339 * Added support for Apache 2.4 to the unit tests. [Dan]
344 Changes in libsoup from 2.40.0 to 2.40.1:
346 * Improved the parsing of multipart/x-mixed-replace responses.
349 * Fixed handling of IPv6 address literals. [#684990, Dan]
351 * New/updated translations:
352 Catalan, Catalan (Valencian), Norwegian bokmål
354 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.92 to 2.40.0:
356 * New/updated translations:
357 Bengali (India), Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Estonian,
358 German, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Latvian, Malayalam,
359 Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Ukranian
361 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.91 to 2.39.92:
363 * Fixed some g_warnings (and a possible crash) with the
364 soup_request_send_async(). [#683404, Dan]
366 * Fixed a hang with SoupSessionSync [#682923, Dan]
368 * Handle empty "Cache-Control" headers. [Sergio]
370 * New/updated translations:
371 Assamese, Belarusian, Brazilian Portuguese, British English,
372 Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, French, Galician,
373 Greek, Gujarati, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Lithuanian,
374 Marathi, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian,
377 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.90 to 2.39.91:
379 * Added missing (transfer full) annotation to
380 soup_cookie_jar_add_cookie() and
381 soup_cookie_jar_add_cookie_with_first_party(), fixing
382 crashes in bindings. [#682554, Daniel Drake]
384 * Fixed a crash [#682569, Alexander Larsson] and a win32 build
385 problem [#683200, Kalev Lember] introduced by the memory
386 leak fixes in 2.39.90
388 * Fixed the SoupMessage:network-event signal, which had been
389 skipping the G_SOCKET_CLIENT_COMPLETE state in tunneled
390 https connections. And added a test for this. [Dan]
392 * New/updated translations:
393 French, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish,
394 Punjabi, Swedish, Tamil
396 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.5 to 2.39.90:
398 * Added SoupMultipartInputStream, for handling multipart
399 responses (particularly multipart/x-mixed-replace).
402 * Fixed a potential crash in SoupSessionAsync after the
403 session is finalized.
405 * Fixed a regression in soup_tls_is_public_suffix() [#681085,
408 * Added a SOUP_MESSAGE_IDEMPOTENT flag, so that apps can
409 bypass the "POSTs must be sent on new connections" check,
410 which was causing evolution-ews to have to create a new
411 connection for every request. [#681493, Milan Crha]
413 * Changed SoupSession so that pending SoupMessages now hold a
414 ref on the session. It is possible that this will break code
415 that was depending on the old, dumb, behavior (where
416 unreffing the session with messages pending would cause
417 those messages to be cancelled), in which case this will be
418 reverted before 2.40.
420 * Fixed memory leaks found by valgrind.
422 * Cleaned up some code in SoupCache. [#681509, Sergio]
424 * New/updated translations:
425 Bengali (India), Chinese (Traditional), German, Marathi,
428 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.4.1 to 2.39.5:
430 * Fixed several bugs in the soup-message-io updates that could
431 cause hangs or I/O errors. [#679527 and other bugs not filed
434 * Fixed SoupServer:async-context to work properly again
436 * Further fixes to soup_uri_normalize() when using the
437 "unescape_extra" parameter. [#680018]
439 * Fixed soup_xmlrpc_parse_method_call() to handle the case
440 where there is no <params> element (which is legal).
443 * Fixed the deprecation warning on soup_message_headers_get()
446 * Added warnings to some erroneous SoupSocket usages rather
447 than returning bogus data. [#673083, Simon McVittie]
449 * Fixed build under Windows/MinGW
451 * SoupSocket no longer emits the "readable" signal when a
452 socket is disconnected if that socket is non-blocking.
454 * Updated public suffix list to the current version.
456 * New/Updated translations:
457 Assamese, Chinese (simplified), Esperanto, Galician, Greek, Gujarati,
458 Hebrew, Norwegian bokmål, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian
460 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.4 to 2.39.4.1:
462 * Fixed indentation problems in tld-parser.py so it will work
463 under python 3. [#680089, "marduk"]
465 * Actually fixed cookies in non-suffixed/private domains,
466 which still didn't work after the last fix. [#679230,
469 * Updated translations:
472 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.3 to 2.39.4:
474 * Fixed the SoupRequest codepaths to properly retry in the
475 case where the server closes a persistent connection when we
476 try to use it. [Dan, might be the fix for #679527, but this
477 is not yet confirmed]
479 * Fixed the content-type and content-length of requests
480 retrieved from SoupCache. [#680029, Carlos Garcia Campos]
482 * Fixed the handling of cookies in non-suffixed and private
483 domains ("localhost", "foo.local", etc) [#679230, Sergio and
486 * Fixed cookie parsing to allow attribute values on "secure"
487 and "HttpOnly". (Neither is supposed to have a value, but it
488 happens in the real world.) [#678753, Dan, based on a patch
491 * Fixed soup_uri_normalize() to not always run the "fixup"
492 codepath. [#680018, pointed out by Yann Soubeyrand]
494 * Fixed a (rare) crash when closing the stream returned from
495 SoupRequestHTTP. [Dan]
497 * Use G_DEPRECATED on deprecated functions, and then fix up
498 the warnings this caused due to libsoup using its own
499 deprecated functions. [#671770, Javier Jardón]
501 * Fixed up "make dist" by, among other things, rewriting
502 tld-parser in python. [#678909, Colin Walters]
504 * Removed the "getbug" example program in tests/, which didn't
505 work any more anyway. [Dan]
507 * Various internal code cleanups. [Dan] Fixed one crash
508 resulting from this [#680055, Alban Browaeys]; hopefully
509 there won't be any more.
511 * New/Updated translations:
512 Assamese, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Chinese (traditional), Hebrew,
513 Indonesian, Lithuanian, Norwegian bokmål, Vietnamese
515 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.2 to 2.39.3:
517 * Added new functions for comparing domains against the
518 "public suffix" list (http://publicsuffix.org/), and in
519 particular fixed SoupCookieJar to not allow setting cookies
520 in "public" domains (eg, ".co.uk"). [#673802, Sergio]
522 * Added two new SoupCookieJar APIs
523 (soup_cookie_jar_get_cookies() and
524 soup_cookie_jar_set_cookie_with_first_party()) as part of
525 fixing the handling of HttpOnly cookies in WebKitGTK.
526 [#677922, Christophe Dumez]
528 * Fixed g-i annotation of
529 soup_message_headers_get_content_type(). [#677002, Dan]
531 * Updated translations:
532 Galician, Greek, Slovenian, Spanish, Telugu
534 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.1 to 2.39.2:
536 * Fixed several bugs that resulted from the I/O code rewrite
537 in 2.39.1, and added more test cases to exercise the new
540 * Problems with cancelling messages from the
541 got-headers signal [#674747, Dan]
543 * Persistent connections were not always being closed
544 properly after a message was cancelled mid-response.
547 * Cancelling a SoupRequest before it started I/O
550 * Asynchronous HTTP authentication via the SoupRequest
553 * Memory leak [#676038, Ray Strode]
555 * Refcounting bug that manifested as a crash in rygel
556 [#676038, Ray Strode]
558 * Handling failed CONNECT requests via SoupRequest
561 * Messages with trailing junk following a compressed
562 message body [#676477, Dan]
564 * Fixed three cache-related bugs that affect some sites
565 (notably Twitter) [Sergio]
567 * Fixed a bug in the /usr/bin/ntlm_auth integration when you
568 don't already have credentials cached, and avoid printing
569 warning messages when ntlm_auth is present but not usable.
572 * Fixed some g-ir-scanner warnings, and included
573 SoupRequester/SoupRequest in the introspected API [#676742,
576 * Added soup_buffer_get_as_bytes() [#676776, Jasper]
578 * New/updated translations:
579 Belarusian, Chinese (simplified), French, Galician, Greek,
580 Hebrew, Polish, Punjabi, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish
582 Changes in libsoup from 2.38.1 to 2.39.1:
584 * Major rewrite of the I/O code to use gio streams more
585 directly. In particular, when using SoupRequestHTTP now, the
586 input stream that is returned is actually pulling data from
587 the socket, rather than just repeatedly pausing and
588 unpausing the underlying SoupMessage and waiting for data to
589 be pushed into it. This also means that SoupRequestHTTP now
590 works with SoupSessionSync as well. [#591739, Dan]
592 (The SoupRequest API is still protected by unstable-API
593 #ifdefs, but will be made public later in this cycle.)
595 * Libsoup now finally supports SOCKS proxies again. [#553269,
598 * Certain error messages returned from the streaming API
599 (SoupRequest, etc) are now localized; more strings will be
602 * New translations: Galician, Hebrew, Indonesian, Norwegian
603 bokmål, Polish, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish.
605 * Added a SoupCookieJar:is-persistent property, to distinguish
606 memory-only jars from SoupCookieJarText and
607 SoupCookieJarSqlite. [#672838, Carlos Garcia Campos]
609 Changes in libsoup from 2.38.0 to 2.38.1:
611 * Fixed a situation where soup_connection_disconnect() could
612 end up calling g_object_unref(NULL) when an idle connection
613 was closed. [Sergio, #672178]
615 * Fixed two warnings when cancelling an in-progress
616 soup_socket_connect_async(). [pointed out on the mailing
617 list by Sven Neumann]
619 * Fixed a crash when disposing a SoupServer with open
620 connections. [#673468, Jonny Lamb]
622 * Fixed the SoupSession:ssl-use-system-ca-file property to get
623 turned off (rather than on) when you set it to FALSE... Also
624 fixed up the property notifications around the various
625 certificate-verification properties (ssl-ca-file,
626 ssl-use-system-ca-file, and tls-database).
628 * Fixed SoupSession to not leak paused SoupMessages that
629 were still in progress when it was unreffed. [#673905]
631 * Updated the win32 file: URI code again, to fix regressions
632 in the WebKit tests. [WebKit bug #82484]
634 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.92 to 2.38.0:
636 * Minor documentation fixes
638 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.91 to 2.37.92:
640 * Added soup_session_prefetch_dns() and deprecated
641 soup_session_prepare_for_uri(). The new method takes a
642 completion callback, allowing you to know how many DNS
643 resolutions are currently outstanding, so you don't spam the
644 resolver. [Sergio, WebKit bug #41630]
646 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.90 to 2.37.91:
648 * Fixed an out-of-bounds memory read that could occur when
649 parsing malformed requests/responses.
651 * Fixed a build-related bug in Makefile.glib that affected
652 locales such as Estonian where "Z" is not the last (ASCII)
653 letter of the alphabet. [#654395, Priit Laes]
655 * Fixed the handling of file: URIs with query components,
656 which got broken in 2.37.90.
658 * Fixed SoupAuthManagerNTLM to not fall back to allowing Basic
659 auth when NTLM failed.
661 * Further tweaked the warnings/fallback in SoupURI, so that
662 soup_uri_to_string() on an http URI with a NULL path would
663 translate that to "/" like it used to. [#670431]
665 * Fixed a warning when cancelling the load of a page with many
666 subresources. [#667245]
668 * Use G_GNUC_BEGIN/END_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS if GLib is new
669 enough, to avoid getting warned about the use of
672 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.5 to 2.37.90:
674 * libsoup is now beta-testing Makefile.glib from bug 654395.
675 If 2.37.90 fails to build in some strange way that 2.37.5
676 did not, this is probably why.
678 * Replaced some of the SoupURI g_return_if_fail()s that were
679 added in 2.37.5 with g_warn_if_fail()s. Although it had
680 always been documented that SoupURIs must have a non-NULL
681 path, most SoupURI functions treated NULL the same as "",
682 and various apps (eg, rhythmbox, midori) were accidentally
683 relying on this. [Dan]
685 * Added various return-if-fails and other sanity checks to
686 various functions. [#669479, Robert Swain, Mark Nauwelaerts,
689 * Updated docs/annotation of soup_form_decode_multipart() to
690 note that all of the out parameters are (allow-none). Fixed
691 the file_control_name parameter to actually allow NULL like
692 the docs already claimed. [#669479, Simon McVittie]
694 * Fixed a minor URI parsing bug. (It was allowing URI schemes
695 to contain numbers.) [Dan]
697 * Fixed a few memory leaks introduced in the 2.37 cycle. [Dan]
699 * Fixed SoupServer to be able to correctly respond to HTTP/1.0
700 requests over IPv6 (which previously would always have
701 returned "400 Bad Request"). [#666399, Dan]
703 * Changed SoupSessionAsync to make it possible to finalize it
704 from the "wrong" thread. [#667364, Dan].
706 * Fixed SoupCache to not cache resources whose URIs have query
707 components (unless they have explicit cache headers); to not
708 generate broken conditional requests for resources that
709 cannot be conditionally validated; and to not spew warnings
710 when receiving invalid Cache-Control headers. [#668865,
713 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.4 to 2.37.5:
715 * Fixed a bug in SoupSession:use-thread-context [Dan]
717 * Fixed the case of cancelling a message from
718 SoupSession::request-started [#668098, Raphael Kubo da
721 * Fixed a crash in epiphany when loading a page with more than
722 1000 or so images. [#668508, Dan]
724 * Fixed a bunch of cases involving invalid URLs found while
725 testing SoupServer against an HTTP protocol fuzzer. Also
726 fixed up some documentation/annotations and added some new
727 test cases. [#667637, Simon McVittie]
729 * Fixed SoupRequestFile to work on Windows. [Paweł Forysiuk]
731 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.3 to 2.37.4:
733 * SoupMessage now has a "network-event" signal that can be
734 monitored for information about DNS, proxy lookup, TCP
735 connections, and TLS handshakes. [Dan]
737 * The HTTP header parsing code now avoids hitting
738 g_return_if_fails() (and returns an error instead) in a few
739 cases of seriously-invalid headers. [#666316, Simon
742 * POSTs and other non-idempotent requests are now always sent
743 on newly-created connections. You can also force this
744 behavior on other messages by setting the
745 SOUP_MESSAGE_NEW_CONNECTION flag. [#578990, Dan]
747 * Server-closed idle connections are now detected ahead of
748 time on Windows, preventing occasional spurious "Connection
749 terminated unexpectedly" errors. (This had been fixed on
750 UNIX since 2.28, but the earlier fix didn't work with
751 WinSock.) [#578990, Dan]
753 * Plugged a leak in SoupRequestHTTP. [#667099, Xan]
755 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.2 to 2.37.3:
757 * Now requires glib 2.31
759 * Simplified SoupHTTPInputStream and SoupRequestHTTP, allowing
760 related simplifications in WebKit's ResourceHandleSoup. This
761 is an ABI-incompatible change, but SoupHTTPInputStream is an
762 unstable API. [#663451, Dan]
764 * Fixed a bug that caused the SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED
765 flag to always be cleared, causing epiphany to claim all
766 https pages were untrusted. [#665182, Dan]
768 * Fixed some bugs in the handling of SoupSession:http-aliases
769 and SoupSession:https-aliases.
771 * Fixed handling of ACLOCAL_FLAGS [#641470, Craig Keogh]
773 * Fixed SoupContentDecoder's "ignore Content-Encoding: gzip
774 because the server didn't actually mean it" hack to handle
777 * Clarified the documentation on SoupSession:ssl-strict
780 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.1 to 2.37.2:
782 * Fixed up the output of SoupDirectoryInputStream, thus
783 improving the display of local directories in WebKit-based
784 browsers. [#662266, Sergio]
786 * Fixed a bug introduced in 2.37.1 that caused some cancelled
787 SoupMessages to be leaked. [#662847, Sergio]
789 * Added new SoupSession properties "http-aliases" and
790 "https-aliases" that allow you to configure more explicitly
791 what URL protocols are treated as aliases for http (eg,
792 "dav:", "webcal:", etc), and which should be recognized as
793 meaning something else, (eg, "ftp:") [Dan]
795 * Added soup_session_would_redirect() and
796 soup_session_redirect_message(), to help users that want to
797 handle some or all redirects themselves. Added
798 soup_message_set_redirect() to make it easier to return
799 redirection responses from a SoupServer. [Dan]
801 * Added the SoupSession "use-thread-context" property, which
802 tells it to use GMainContexts in a gio-compliant way (and in
803 particular, allows having different messages running in
804 different GMainContexts on the same SoupSession, though only
805 to a limited extent since SoupSessionAsync is still not
806 thread-safe). In particular, this was added in order to
807 address WebKit bug 68238. [Dan]
809 * Made SoupURI %-encode non-ASCII characters when parsing
810 URIs, in particular to fix a problem with certain servers
811 sending syntactically invalid redirects that they would then
812 only interpret correctly if you fixed the syntax for them.
813 (@$!@#! Although the new code is probably more correct than
814 the old code anyway, so...) [#662806, Dan]
816 * Fixed a connection-handling bug that could cause problems
817 with servers that requested authentication and then timed
818 out the connection while the application was waiting for the
819 user to enter a password. [#660057, Dan]
821 * Made NTLM and Basic authentication handle some non-ASCII
822 usernames and passwords. (NTLM should handle most. It's
823 impossible to fix Basic in the general case.) [#576838,
824 Joachim Breitner, "sponsored by ITOMIG GmbH and the City of
827 * Added support for "deflate" Content-Encoding, so that we can
828 work with broken servers that insisted on using it even
829 though we explicitly indicated in the request headers that
830 we didn't support it. (@$#!#) [#661682, Sergio]
832 Changes in libsoup from 2.36.0 to 2.37.1:
834 * Fixed a problem with connections being assigned to multiple
835 requests at once after a redirection [#651146, Sergio]. Made
836 soup_session_pause/unpause_message() work in any state, not
837 just while the HTTP I/O is occurring, and used this to add a
838 test case for that bug. [Dan]
840 * Ported SoupSession to use GTlsDatabase internally, and added
841 two new properties, SoupSession:use-system-ca-file (to
842 specify that the session should use the default system
843 tlsdb) and SoupSession:tlsdb (to specify a specific tlsdb to
846 * Likewise, added SoupServer:tls-certificate, for specifying a
847 certificate/key for an https server to use.
849 * Made SoupHTTPInputStream use memory more efficiently.
852 * Fixed soup_message_get_https_status() to return information
853 more reliably (with latest glib-networking).
855 * Bumped the glib requirement to 2.30.0; although libsoup does
856 not use any new glib 2.30 APIs, there are several important
857 bugfixes in glib between 2.28 and 2.30 that libsoup needs.
858 Currently libsoup builds against either glib 2.30.x or glib
861 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.92 to 2.36.0:
863 * Improvements to gtk-doc documentation. [Dan]
865 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.90 to 2.35.92:
867 * Fixed a problem where SoupHTTPRequest response bodies could
868 be truncated. [#659256, Sergio]
870 * Fixed a bug in copying TLS information from SoupSocket to
871 SoupMessage, causing all https connections to be reported as
872 "untrusted" in epiphany. [Dan]
874 * Made SoupSession remove items from its host cache after a
875 while, so that if a host changes IP address, it will
876 eventually try to re-resolve it. [#646959, Sergio]
878 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.5 to 2.35.90:
880 * Added SOUP_MESSAGE_CAN_REBUILD flag, to use with
881 soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE) on a request body,
882 to indicate that the caller will recreate the request body
883 after it has been discarded if the message needs to be
886 * Fixed the build on mingw-w64 by not using "interface" as
887 as variable name. [#656402, Erik van Pienbroek]
889 * (The multihosted https server regression mentioned in the
890 2.35.5 NEWS turned out to be a glib-networking bug, which is
891 fixed as of 2.29.18.)
893 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.4 to 2.35.5:
895 * Support NTLM single sign on via samba's /usr/bin/ntlm_auth.
896 [#650940, Mandy Wu]. This is enabled by default (if NTLM is
897 enabled for the session and the ntlm_auth binary is
898 available), but will fall back to the standard
899 password-based authentication if SSO fails.
901 * Default to TLS+extensions for https connections, falling
902 back to SSLv3-without-extensions (the old default) only if
903 the server fails to negotiate TLS. [#581342]
905 * As a result of this change, some users are currently
906 seeing problems with sites that serve multiple https
907 hosts from a single IP address (eg,
908 *.launchpad.net). There is no known workaround at
911 * Fixed a longstanding problem with https pages sometimes not
912 loading when using a proxy. [#631368, based on patches from
913 DongJae Kim and Thierry Reding]
915 * SoupContentSniffer: don't use gio's sniffing rules, since
916 the spec now recommends that browsers not do any additional
917 sniffing beyond what's in the spec. [#648846, "arno"]
919 * Fixed SoupRequestHTTP to work properly with alternate
920 GMainContexts. [#653707]
922 * Added some annotations from Vala's vapi files. [#655397,
923 Evan Nemerson]. Also, removed SoupProxyResolver from the
924 gir/typelib, since it had been deprecated since before
925 introspection was available, and it was being scanned wrong
928 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.3 to 2.35.4:
930 * CVE-2011-2524: Fixed a security hole that caused some
931 SoupServer users to unintentionally allow accessing the
932 entire local filesystem when they thought they were only
933 providing access to a single directory. [#653258]
935 * Plugged another SoupCache memory leak [Xan]
937 * Simplified SoupCache keys, and handle collisions. [#649963,
940 * Annotate SoupSession:add-feature, etc, as (skip), so they
941 don't conflict with the methods of the same name. [#655150,
944 Changes in libsoup from 2.34.1 to 2.35.3:
946 * SoupCache fixes [Sergio]:
948 * Don't store hop-by-hop headers [#650094]
950 * Fix status code and headers of responses returned
951 from the cache after being revalidated [#649965]
953 * Added versioning support to the cache file format
954 [#652554] and extended it to keep track of the
955 status code [#649965]
957 * Fixed storage of time values in the cache [#653349]
959 * Fixed a use-after-free that could result in bogus
960 data being written to the cache [#650620]
962 * Various leaks [#649309]
964 * Work around an Apache bug where it tells browsers to
965 automatically decode .gz files but still keep the .gz in the
968 * Fixed an overflow when sending a response larger than 2^31
969 bytes (eg, streaming movies in Rygel). [#638468, Jens Georg]
971 * Always send the Keep-Alive header, not just to hosts we
972 already know to be HTTP/1.0 [#648680, Sergio]
974 * Fixed various leaks [#652699, Sergio], [#651643, Milan],
977 * Minor build fix for Debian/Ubuntu [#648948]
981 Changes in libsoup from 2.34.0 to 2.34.1:
983 * Two multipart forms/Content-Disposition fixes [Dan]:
985 * UTF-8-encoded header encoding/decoding rules updated
986 to match RFC 5987. In particular, a UTF-8-encoded
987 filename parameter in Content-Disposition will now
988 override an ASCII one.
990 * When not using UTF-8-encoded filenames in
991 Content-Disposition, always quote the filename,
992 since some servers erroneously fail to handle
993 non-quoted ones. [#641280]
995 * Fixed several memory leaks [Dan, Xan]
997 * Fixed decoding base64 data: URLs [#646896, Sergio]
999 * Simplified the libsoup-gnome build on Windows by dropping
1000 the gnome-keyring dependency. [Fridrich Štrba]
1002 * Fixed a bug in soup_uri_to_string() in which (invalid) port
1003 numbers could be output as negative numbers (tripping up a
1004 WebKit "sanity checking" test). [#647767, Sergio]
1006 * Fixed a cache corruption bug in SoupCache. [#648285, Sergio]
1008 * Fixed a crash in SoupSessionSync when using
1009 soup_session_abort().
1011 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.92 to 2.34.0:
1013 * Fixed the GMainContext handling of the new
1014 SoupProxyResolverDefault (which among other things fixes
1015 gstreamer usage inside epiphany). [#646201, Sebastian Dröge]
1017 * Tweaked the introspection Makefile rules to fix a problem
1018 building on Debian/Ubuntu. [#645505]
1020 * Belated bumped the shared library versioning to reflect the
1021 API additions since 2.32.0
1023 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.90 to 2.33.92:
1025 * LIBSOUP NO LONGER DEPENDS ON GCONF OR LIBPROXY.
1028 * Added SoupProxyResolverDefault, which uses uses gio's
1029 GProxyResolver to resolve proxies [#642982, Gustavo Noronha
1030 Silva]. Despite the "default" in the name, it is not used by
1031 default, for compatibility reasons, but it is available in
1032 plain libsoup, not libsoup-gnome. (Of course, it depends on
1033 having glib-networking installed.)
1035 * Updated SoupProxyResolverGNOME to be based on
1036 SoupProxyResolverDefault, but explicitly requesting the
1037 "gnome" GProxyResolver if it is available [#625898], and
1038 removed the old code that used GConf and libproxy directly.
1040 * Added soup_server_disconnect(), to explicitly disconnect a
1041 SoupServer, since it is not possible to g_object_unref() it
1042 from memory-managed language bindings. [#638576, Andreas
1045 * SoupDate now parses month names case-insensitively [#644048,
1048 * Avoid a g_return_if_fail() when using
1049 SOUP_COOKIE_JAR_ACCEPT_NO_THIRD_PARTY with non-http URIs
1050 (file:, data:, etc). [#643226]
1052 * SoupCookieJar now catches overflows when parsing very
1053 distant dates [#643462, based on a patch from Mark
1056 * Fixed a buggy interaction between request body streaming and
1057 restarted requests [David Woodhouse]. Added some new tests
1058 to tests/chunk-test.c to make sure that a specific
1059 (unsupported!) way of using those methods would not get
1060 broken in the future.
1062 * Fixed soup_socket_get_remote_address(), which had been
1063 broken since 2.33.4 (and which in turn caused
1064 soup_client_context_get_address/_get_host to be broken).
1067 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.6 to 2.33.90:
1069 * Attempted to make libsoup's dependency on glib-networking
1070 (for TLS support) more explicit, by requiring that
1071 glib-networking be present at compile time unless the
1072 builder explicitly passes "--disable-tls-check", and noting
1073 that packagers should give libsoup a runtime dependency on
1076 * Fixed a bug in talking to servers with virtual hosts with
1077 Unicode names (IDNs) [#642075]
1079 * Added a "Connection: Keep-Alive" header when talking to
1080 HTTP/1.0 hosts, to improve performance. [#640414, Sergio
1083 * Changed SoupCache to not cache multipart/x-mixed-replace
1084 content. [#642028, Sergio Villar Senin]
1086 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.5 to 2.33.6:
1088 * Made SoupSessionAsync do idle-connection cleanup more
1089 sanely, resulting in faster load times for pages with lots
1090 of subresources. [#639768, Sergio Villar Senin]
1092 * Fixed soup_form_decode()'s behavior (and by extension,
1093 SoupServer query string handling) with datasets that contain
1094 multiple values for the same key, and added a test case.
1095 [#639783, Sven Neumann]
1097 * Fixed warnings pointed out by gcc 4.6, including a bug in
1098 SoupCache that would cause unnecessary revalidations
1101 * Belated copied a fix from the WebKit copy of soup-cache.c
1102 into ours, and fixed a bug in the local copy of
1103 soup-request-data.c [#641022, Sergio Villar Senin], in
1104 preparation for making WebKit use the libsoup versions.
1106 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.4 to 2.33.5:
1108 * Fixed certain cases of soup_session_cancel_message() with
1109 SoupSessionSync that could previously cause warnings or
1112 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.2 to 2.33.4:
1114 * SoupSocket now uses GSocketConnection and GTlsConnection
1115 internally rather than making socket calls directly and
1116 using GIOStream, and TLS is handled via glib's APIs rather
1117 than using gnutls directly.
1119 * The gzip Content-Encoding handler is now implemented using
1122 * As a result of the above two changes, libsoup no longer
1123 directly depends on gnutls, libgcrypt, or zlib, though it
1124 still indirectly depends on zlib via glib and libxml2. Also,
1125 although libsoup does not depend on glib-networking as a
1126 build-time dependency, some "make check" tests will be
1127 skipped if it is not installed.
1129 * The SoupRequest/SoupCache code from WebKit has been
1130 imported, but it is not yet recommended for general use, and
1131 is not necessarily API stable. [#523100, Sergio Villar, with
1132 the SoupRequest parts based on the Summer of Code work by
1133 Gabriel Corvalan and the cache parts based on an earlier
1136 * Added SoupMessage:tls-certificate and
1137 SoupMessage:tls-errors, which give more information about
1138 the certificate used to authenticate a TLS connection.
1140 * It is now possible to disable Basic or Digest auth in a
1141 session by using soup_session_remove_feature_by_type() with
1142 SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_BASIC or SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_DIGEST. Likewise, the
1143 right way to enable NTLM support now is to call
1144 soup_session_add_feature_by_type() with SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_NTLM;
1145 SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM is now deprecated.
1147 * Allow setting cookies on file:// URIs, since other browsers
1148 do, and WebKit has a test for it. [#603825]
1150 * .gir/.typelib files now include C header/library information
1151 (needed by vala and some other bindings) [#635395, Evan
1154 * Added annotations on soup_message_headers_get_content_type()
1155 [Lucas Rocha] and SoupHTTPVersion [John Palmieri]
1157 * Fixed a Set-Cookie processing leak [#636741, Jonathan
1160 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.1 to 2.32.2:
1162 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused evolution-exchange
1163 to get stuck and stop updating. [#634422]
1165 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with apps using asynchronous
1166 sessions from multiple threads (in particular, gupnp)
1169 * Fixed the regression test for #631525 to not cause spurious
1170 "make check" failures on some machines.
1172 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.0 to 2.32.1:
1174 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with the use of persistent
1175 connections that caused spurious "Connection terminated
1176 unexpectedly" errors. [#631525, debugged by Sergio Villar]
1178 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused proxy-related
1179 DNS errors to return SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than
1180 SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE_PROXY.
1182 * Usernames/passwords specified explicitly in request URIs now
1183 override existing cached auth info. [#631679, Sergio Villar]
1185 * Changed soup_uri_decode() and soup_uri_normalize() to just
1186 ignore malformed %-encoding rather than returning NULL,
1187 for consistency with soup_uri_new(). [#630540]
1189 * Fixed soup_form_decode() to ignore invalid parameters,
1190 and soup_form_encode_hash() to just g_return_if_fail()
1191 rather than crashing if there are NULL values in the
1194 * Added another workaround for stupid servers that close the
1195 connection before returning the full response (in this case,
1196 when using chunked encoding and failing to include the
1197 final 0-length chunk). [#629160]
1199 * Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJarText that deleted excess cookies
1200 whenever any cookie expired. [#631641, Michał Kazior]
1202 * Fixed a small leak in SoupContentDecoder if you were using
1203 it incorrectly. [pointed out in email by Christophe
1206 * Added regression tests for passwords-in-URIs [#631679,
1207 Sergio Villar] and SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT.
1209 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.92 to 2.32.0:
1211 * (No changes, just a version bump)
1213 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.90 to 2.31.92:
1215 * Updated for gobject-introspection 0.9.5. Also added some new
1216 annotations and removed a bunch of private headers from the
1219 * Percent-encoded characters in URIs are no longer
1220 automatically normalized to uppercase, since apparently some
1221 servers are stupid. [#628728, Sergio Villar Senin]
1223 * Fixed a crash when resolving a URI containing both spaces
1224 and non-UTF8 8bit characters. [#629449]
1226 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.90:
1228 * libsoup now tries to connect to each IP address associated
1229 with a hostname, if the first one fails. In particular, if a
1230 host has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and only one of them
1231 is reachable from the current host, libsoup will now try the
1232 other one rather than failing. (libc is supposed to sort the
1233 IP addresses in the right order, such that, eg, if you don't
1234 have IPv6 connectivity, it will put the IPv4 address first.
1235 For some reason though, this seems to be broken on some
1236 distros.) [#526321].
1238 * Fixed Accept-Language header generation in locales where ","
1239 is used as the decimal point.
1241 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.6:
1243 * Disabled TLS 1.2 in addition to the already-disabled 1.1 and
1244 1.0 [see below, in libsoup 2.27.2], thus making libsoup
1245 usable with gnutls 2.10. [#622857. This commit, 01a43ad9,
1246 can be applied to libsoup 2.30.x as well if you need that
1247 release to work with gnutls 2.10.]
1249 * When using libproxy 0.3 or newer, libsoup no longer leaks
1250 proxy-related environment variables into child processes
1253 * Changed the way message/connection binding works in
1254 SoupSession so that (among other things), when there are
1255 multiple requests queued to a host, and one of them gets a
1256 network error, the other requests are still allowed to try
1257 to succeed, rather than all failing immediately. [#619633]
1259 * SoupSession now limits the number of times a message can be
1260 redirected, to avoid infinite loops [#604383, José Millán
1263 * Fixed handling of certain messages where the response
1264 headers included "Connection: close" but the server did not
1265 actually close the connection at the end. [#611481]
1267 * Fixed some incorrect g-i annotations [#621021]
1269 * Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access when processing certain
1270 Set-Cookie headers [#620288]
1272 * Improved msg->reason_phrase on network errors [#623274]
1274 * Fixed gir file disting [#621727, Yaakov Selkowitz]
1276 Changes in libsoup from 2.30.1 to 2.31.2:
1278 * gobject-introspection has now been merged in. Use
1279 --enable-introspection to build. [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
1280 Note that the introspected API is not yet stable, and in
1281 particular, there are numerous values annotated as "utf8"
1282 which are actually not guaranteed to be utf8. (Eg, most
1285 * Added some helper functions for bindings:
1286 soup_buffer_new_take(),
1287 soup_message_body_append_take(), and
1288 soup_buffer_get_data(). [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
1290 * Also added properties for several SoupMessage public
1291 fields, and getter methods for various boxed types
1292 (SoupCookie, SoupDate, SoupURI).
1294 * Added some additional hash-table annotations.
1295 [#619086, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1297 * Marked SoupSession abstract. [#617216, Lorenzo Gil, the
1298 first bug filed by someone trying to use libsoup via
1299 introspection!] Likewise for SoupAuth and SoupAuthDomain.
1301 * Fixed a problem with SoupSessionAsync that would cause
1302 messages to get lost if you aborted a previous message while
1303 it was still looking up the hostname. Fixed several other
1304 problems that were discovered while adding a regression test
1305 for that. [#618641, thanks to Claudio Saavedra for a good
1308 * Fixed another connecting-to-lame-http-server problem, and a
1309 getting-stuck-in-a-loop-reconnecting bug that it revealed.
1312 Changes in libsoup from 2.30.0 to 2.30.1:
1314 * Fix for https through proxies that close the connection when
1315 returning a "407 Proxy Authentication Required" response,
1316 and add a regression test for that case. [#611663]
1318 * Fixed multiple forms/multipart-related interoperability
1319 problems reported by Egon Andersen:
1321 * Don't quote the multipart boundary string if it's
1322 not needed, since RFC 2616 recommends that you
1323 don't, and some servers don't handle quotes there
1324 correctly. (Sigh.) [#614176]
1326 * Don't put an extra blank line before the first
1327 multipart part, since it's unnecessary and some
1328 servers don't handle a multipart preamble correctly.
1331 * Don't put Content-Transfer-Encoding headers in the
1332 multipart/form-data parts, even though the HTML 4
1333 spec says you must, since no other browsers do, and
1334 some servers don't handle them correctly. (Sigh.)
1337 * Changed SoupCookieJarSqlite to actually erase deleted
1338 cookies from the database. [#615711, Lukasz Slachciak]
1340 * Fixed SoupLogger to be more robust against getting passed
1341 bad data by the session. [#611663]
1343 * Fixed SoupAuthDomain to ignore paths when doing proxy auth
1345 * Fixed a g_warning when hovering over a javascript link in
1346 WebKit. [#613442, Xan Lopez]
1348 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.91 to 2.30.0:
1350 * Fixed a crash in the whitespace-stripping code in
1351 soup_uri_new() [#612644, "arnaud.lb"]
1353 * Update content-sniffing algorithm to match Chrome and the
1354 soon-to-be-updated sniffing spec. [#611502, Gustavo Noronha
1357 * We now handle "Content-Encoding: x-gzip" as well as "gzip"
1358 (even though "x-gzip" has been deprecated for more than 10
1361 * Fixed leaks found by valgrind
1363 * Make the "make check" programs only bind to 127.0.0.1, not
1364 any public network interfaces. [#609489, Saleem Absulrasool]
1366 * Add a test to sniffing-test to make sure that Content-Type
1367 parameters are preserved correctly. [Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1369 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.90 to 2.29.91:
1371 * Added SOUP_SESSION_SSL_STRICT and
1372 SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED, to allow callers to
1373 determine if an https response comes from a server with a
1374 recognized/valid or unrecognized/invalid certificate.
1375 [#610374, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1377 * Fixed handling of certain badly-formatted URIs [#590524]
1379 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.6 to 2.29.90:
1381 * Added soup_cookie_jar_set_accept_policy() and related API
1382 for implementing cookie acceptance policies. [#608353, Xan
1385 * Fixed the "request-read" signal in SoupServer to actually be
1388 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.5 to 2.29.6:
1390 * Fixed SoupContentDecoder to ignore trailing junk after the
1391 encoded message body (as other browsers do), rather than
1392 getting stuck in an infinite loop. [#606352]
1394 * Fixed an invalid read in soup_cookie_applies_to_uri()
1395 [#607024, pointed out by Xan]
1397 * Fixed linking on OS X [#606959]
1399 * Removed a harmless warning in SoupServer. [#606645]
1401 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.3 to 2.29.5:
1403 * Added SoupContentDecoder, providing support for
1404 Content-Encoding: gzip for WebKitGTK. [#522772]
1406 * Added "accept-language" and "accept-language-auto"
1407 properties to SoupSession, to support the Accept-Language
1408 header. [#597004, Mario Sanchez Prada]
1410 * Fixed a bug in SoupPasswordManagerGNOME that could cause
1411 crashes if you typed the wrong password once and then tried
1412 again. [#595554, debugged by Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1414 * Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDigest if the server claims support
1415 for both qop=auth and qop=auth-int. (This was not noticed
1416 sooner because no one actually supports qop=auth-int, and
1417 the server in question here was probably confused. :)
1419 * Updated cookie parsing/output to more closely match
1420 draft-ietf-httpstate-cookie-00. [Also fixes #603496 (WebKit
1421 unit test), and #604794 (hang parsing malformed Set-Cookie
1424 * Fixed https-via-proxy to not hang if there is an error
1425 communicating with the proxy immediately after the TLS
1426 negotiation. [#587528]
1428 * Fixed a bug that broke gobject-introspection's introspection
1429 of libsoup. [#603696, Vincent Untz]
1431 * Handle spurious CR/LFs between responses. [#602863,
1432 Alexander V. Butenko]
1434 * Fixed soup-message-client-io to not erroneously include URI
1435 fragments on the Request-Line when sending via a proxy.
1436 [Related to WebKit bug #28687]
1438 * Fixed Digest authentication against certain (buggy?)
1439 clients/servers that require you to use quotes in exactly the
1440 same places where the spec uses them. [#582219]
1442 * Fix ugly gtype-related hack to work with the latest unstable
1443 glib. [Benjamin Otte]
1445 Changes in libsoup from 2.28.1 to 2.29.3:
1447 * Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite when using cookie
1448 databases not created by libsoup (eg, upgraded epiphany
1449 installations). [Patch from Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]
1451 * Fixed SoupCookieJar to handle non-http URIs properly (so
1452 that, eg, JavaScript bookmarklets that try to set/read
1453 cookies won't cause crashes). [#602498]
1455 * HEAD requests that receive a "303 See Other" response will
1456 now do a HEAD, not a GET, on the redirected-to resource.
1457 Fixes gvfs access to some sites, including certain
1458 youtube.com URIs. [#600830]
1460 * Fixed a g_warning that would always trigger in the
1461 server-side SoupCookie code. [#602389]
1463 * Fixed the server-side SoupMultipart code to be able to parse
1464 multiparts containing binary attachments, rather than
1465 rejecting them as malformed. [#601640]
1467 * Fixed the Request-Line format in the https-over-proxy case.
1468 Among other things, this fixes access to bugzilla.gnome.org
1469 from WebKitGTK-based browsers. [#598277, #600826]
1471 * Fixed a leak in SoupSession if a message was cancelled while
1472 the initial socket connection was in progress. [#596074,
1473 debugged by Arnout Vandecappelle]
1475 * Fixed server-side parsing of Digest auth. [#602898, Chris
1478 * Fixed WinSock initialization on Windows. [#600689, Tor
1481 * Fixed a sporadic crash in the SSL code on Windows. [#600748,
1484 * Fixed handling of https connections with timeouts on
1485 Windows. [#600749, Tor Lillqvist]
1487 * Added soup_session_prepare_for_uri(), to allow DNS
1488 prefetching for faster browsing. [#598948, José Millán Soto]
1490 * SoupSession now avoids redundant DNS lookups again when
1491 first connecting to a new site, resulting in (probably
1492 imperceptibly) faster loads.
1494 * Added some debugging APIs to SoupConnection and SoupSession
1495 for use by, eg, epiphany's soup-fly extension. [#589163,
1498 Changes in libsoup from 2.28.0 to 2.28.1:
1500 * libsoup will now attempt to make multiple connections to a
1501 server at once when there are multiple messages queued to
1502 that server. The previous behavior (only allowing a single
1503 pending connection to each server) resulted in slow load
1504 times on pages with lots of subresources (images, css, js,
1505 etc) on servers that disallow persistent connections.
1508 * There should now be fewer (no?) "Connection terminated
1509 unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK.
1511 * Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite [#596859, patch from
1514 * Fixed soup_address_get_physical() and address-to-name
1515 resolution of SoupAddress [patch from Enrico Tröger].
1517 * Fixed a bug in SoupContentSniffer that could cause false
1518 negatives [#597545, patch from Alejandro Castro].
1520 * Fixed the configure error if you have gnutls-devel but not
1521 gcrypt-devel installed [#587709].
1523 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.92 to 2.28.0:
1525 * Fixed a handful of leaks found with valgrind, including a
1526 large one in SoupContentSniffer [WebKit bug 28148].
1528 * Changed the behavior of SoupCookieJarSqlite to improve
1529 performance. [#584522, patch from Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1531 * Fixed a crash in SoupSocket that affected gupnp. [#594951,
1532 patch from Olivier Crête]
1534 * Fixed the type of the SOUP_METHOD_* and SOUP_URI_SCHEME_*
1535 macros to be const char * rather than gpointer. [#594508]
1537 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.91 to 2.27.92:
1539 * Removed SoupPasswordManager from the public API until its
1540 problems can be addressed. Although it is still present, you
1541 need to #define a special symbol for it to be visible in the
1542 header files; see #594377 for details.
1544 * Fixed a bug where empty query components were dropped from
1547 * Fixed "make check" to work (but warn) when building with
1550 * Fixed some small documentation bugs pointed out by Dominik
1551 Bylica and Lucian Langa.
1553 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.90 to 2.27.91:
1555 * Added SoupPasswordManager, an interface for managing
1556 persistent password storage, and SoupPasswordManagerGNOME
1557 (in libsoup-gnome), which implements it using gnome-keyring.
1558 tests/get.c provides a minimal example of how to use it.
1560 * libsoup should now notice when the server closes a
1561 persistent connection, and close its side of the connection
1562 sooner. This should hopefully fix the spurious "Connection
1563 terminated unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK. [#578990]
1565 * Fixed some problems with connection management in
1566 SoupSession that could cause a session to eventually "stall"
1567 and be unable to process new requests. [#592084]
1569 * Fixed an infinite loop that caused 100% CPU usage if the
1570 network went down at exactly the right time while there were
1571 unsent messages in the queue. [#592492]
1573 * Fixed a crash in SoupLogger. [#591857]
1575 * Fixed the definition of soup_message_is_keepalive() for
1576 HTTP/1.0 messages, to fix a problem introduced in 2.27.90
1577 where some messages would load completely but never emit
1580 * Fixed a crash in SoupServer introduced in 2.27.90 when
1581 processing a request with no "Host" header.
1583 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.5 to 2.27.90:
1585 * libsoup now uses glib's GResolver rather than its own DNS
1586 code. For 2.27.90, the only visible change should be that
1587 internationalized domain names are now supported. [#548287]
1589 * Added soup_message_disable_feature(), which allows you to
1590 disable particular features (eg, cookies, proxy,
1591 content-sniffing, etc) on a per-message basis. [#574773]
1593 * It is now possible to implement "OPTIONS *" in a SoupServer;
1594 you must explicitly register a handler for "*" in order to
1597 * Ignore Content-Length on EOF-terminated responses, to match
1598 other browsers and therefore cope with broken servers that
1599 send the wrong length. [Patch from Benjamin Otte.]
1601 * Fixed the status code when trying to fetch an https URI with
1602 a non-gnutls build of libsoup. [#590464]
1604 * Fixed strict-aliasing warnings introduced in 2.27.4
1607 * Fixed some warnings noted by fortify [#591226] and -Wextra.
1609 * libsoup now uses automake 1.11's silent-rules support by
1610 default (if you are building with automake 1.11). Use
1611 "./configure --disable-silent-rules" or "make V=1" to
1614 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.4 to 2.27.5:
1616 * Fixed a crash when a web server redirected a request to a
1617 non-http URI (eg, "about:blank"). [#528882]
1619 * Fixed a hang when trying to create an attachment on certain
1620 bugzilla installations from epiphany. [#584645]
1622 * Fixed verification of V1 TLS certificates [#589323, Patrick
1625 * Fixed compile problems on Windows (in the ssl code), and on
1626 Linux (when the most recent version of gtk-doc was
1629 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.2 to 2.27.4:
1631 * Added SoupContentSniffer and the "content-sniffed" signal on
1632 SoupMessage, to do Content-Type sniffing per the HTML5 /
1633 draft-abarth-mime-sniff algorithm. [#572589, Gustavo Noronha
1636 * Updated the earlier SoupSession timeout fixes ([#574414],
1637 [#578928]) so that async connect() also times out [#588177,
1638 Mark Nauwelaerts] and SSL works on Windows again [#587910,
1641 * Fixed the behavior on a 301 response to a POST to match
1642 real-world usage rather than what the spec says. (We were
1643 doing the right thing on 302 and 303, but had missed 301.)
1646 * Changed configure so that if GNUTLS isn't found then it
1647 errors out, rather than silently building an SSL-less
1648 libsoup. Configure with --disable-ssl if you actually don't
1651 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.1 to 2.27.2:
1653 * Replaced SoupProxyResolver with SoupProxyURIResolver, which
1654 is a bit simpler, works with non-HTTP URIs (and so could be
1655 used by gvfsd-ftp) and supports proxy auth correctly.
1658 * Fixed SoupSession to not try to resolve http server
1659 hostnames when it's just going to pass the hostname off to a
1660 proxy server anyway. This fixes things on hosts that use a
1661 proxy for everything and have no working DNS config
1662 [#577532] and also makes WebKitGTK behave more like other
1663 browsers in terms of per-host connection limits (we now
1664 limit connections based on hostname rather than on IP
1667 We also no longer set the AI_CANONNAME flag when calling
1668 getaddrinfo(), which saves us a little bit of unnecessary
1669 network traffic. [Pointed out by Christophe Gillette on the
1672 * libsoup now always uses SSL 3.0 (not TLS 1.0 or 1.1) for
1673 https URIs, to work around problems with older servers that
1674 don't implement the (apparently quite confusing) TLS/SSL
1675 compatibility rules correctly. Makes a bunch of
1676 previously-inaccessible sites now accessible in WebKitGTK
1677 (notably PayPal) [#581342]. Will eventually be revisited, to
1678 first try TLS 1.1 and fall back if that fails.
1680 * Fixed Digest auth to (recent) Apple CalDAV servers.
1683 * Changed the way the SoupSession "authenticate" signal works
1684 a bit. We now never emit "authenticate" before sending a
1685 request, even if we know for sure that it's going to fail,
1686 because this makes the semantics of the authenticate handler
1687 too complicated (and because we'll only get into this
1688 situation if a previous call to the authenticate handler
1689 failed anyway). Fixes problems in WebKitGTK when you cancel
1690 a password dialog, and then later try to load the page
1691 again. [#583462, mostly figured out by Gustavo Noronha
1694 * Fixed a bug in the CRLF-vs-LF patch (#571283) that caused
1695 libsoup to fail to parse the response headers (returning
1696 SOUP_STATUS_MALFORMED) if a CR LF got split across two
1699 * Allow using PUT in soup_form_request_for_data(), to work
1700 with certain broken web APIs. [#581860, Ross Burton]. Also,
1701 fixed a problem with empty POST bodies that made some parts
1702 of gmail not work in WebKitGTK.
1704 * Applied some minor bugfixes to configure.in and autogen.sh
1705 [#583911, #583942]. Fixed configure.in to not use gcc
1706 warning options that the installed version of gcc doesn't
1707 recognize [#578851].
1709 * Added G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED and G_GNUC_PRINTF to a few
1710 methods that should have had them. [#581754, Ross Burton]
1712 Changes in libsoup from 2.26.1 to 2.27.1:
1714 * SOUP_SESSION_TIMEOUT now works properly with
1715 SoupSessionAsync [#574414] and SSL [#578928]. Added
1716 tests/timeout-test to test this.
1720 * soup_date_to_string() now handles SOUP_DATE_RFC2822
1721 [#579055, Enrico Tröger]
1723 * soup_date_new_from_string() now accepts 24:00 as a
1724 time in ISO8601 timestamps
1726 * soup_date_to_string() now coerces the date to UTC
1727 for HTTP and cookie dates, and outputs the UTC
1728 correct offset for the other date types.
1730 * Added regression tests to tests/date
1732 * soup_headers_parse() now completely ignores
1733 syntactically-incorrect headers, rather than passing them to
1734 soup_message_headers_append() and causing a g_warning.
1735 soup_message_headers_append() now also rejects 0-length
1736 header names. Updated tests/header-parsing to check this.
1739 * Fix a crash when cancelling a message from a "restarted"
1740 handler, and updated a regression test to notice the
1741 underlying cause. [#580193]
1743 * Completing the API updates for #576760 from 2.26.1,
1744 soup_message_headers_get() is now marked deprecated in favor
1745 of soup_message_headers_get_one() and _get_list().
1747 Changes in libsoup from 2.26.0 to 2.26.1:
1749 * libsoup uses libproxy for PAC and WPAD proxy resolution
1750 again. However, it arranges to do all communication with
1751 GConf itself, to ensure that libproxy doesn't call it in
1752 non-thread-safe ways. [#571527] Also, fixed a bug in
1753 SoupSessionSync when proxy resolution failed. [#574957,
1754 patch from Milan Crha].
1756 (Also fixed three SoupProxyResolverGNOME bugs since the
1757 2.26.0.9 preview release. [#578746, #578809])
1759 * SoupURI now handles unencoded spaces in URIs. In particular,
1760 redirects via Location headers with spaces in them now work.
1763 * libsoup can now deal with servers (and clients) that
1764 erroneously use LF LF instead of CR LF CR LF to separate
1765 the headers and body. [#571283]
1767 * Added soup_message_headers_get_one() and
1768 soup_message_headers_get_list(), which will eventually
1769 deprecate soup_message_headers_get(). This lets applications
1770 deal correctly with implementations that erroneously send
1771 multiple copies of single-valued headers. [#576760]
1773 * In particular, soup_message_headers_get_content_type() now
1774 ignores duplicate Content-Type headers [#576760] and also
1775 ignores syntactically-incorrect Content-Type headers.
1778 * SoupCookieJar can now store multiple cookies with the same
1779 domain and name, but different paths. [#577360]
1781 * Abnormal SSL connection closes are now treated as ordinary
1782 EOFs, for compatibility with certain sites. [#577386]
1784 * soup_header_g_string_append_param() now allows NULL values.
1787 * soup_message_headers_append() now rejects header names and
1788 values with newlines or certain other illegal data in them,
1789 rather than generating syntactically invalid headers.
1791 * Fixed a small bug in soup_date_new_from_string's ISO 8601
1792 handling [qv #578369 for g_time_val_from_iso8601].
1794 * The regression tests now work correctly on machines where
1795 "localhost" resolves to "::1" instead of "127.0.0.1".
1796 [#576583, patch from Andreas Rottmann]
1798 * Fixed warnings when a message has a network problem when
1799 many other messages are queued. [#578809]
1801 * Miscellaneous documentation fixes/clarifications.
1803 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.91 to 2.26.0:
1805 * Temporarily disable libproxy support to work around a bug in
1806 its gnome plugin that causes gvfsd-http (and probably
1807 eventually other apps) to crash. [#571527]. For now,
1808 SoupProxyResolverGNOME uses only GConf. To be fixed in
1811 * Fixed a bug that showed up in WebKit, where if many messages
1812 were queued all at once to a server that doesn't support
1813 persistent connections, some of the requests will get lost.
1814 #574365, reported by Xan Lopez.
1816 * Fixed SoupServer to support using SOUP_ENCODING_EOF, so you
1817 can stream responses of unknown length to HTTP/1.0 clients.
1818 [#572153]. Added a regression test for this, and for chunked
1819 and Content-Length-based streaming.
1821 * Fixed several bugs that prevented SoupCookieJarSqlite from
1822 working. [#572409, patch from Xan Lopez]
1824 * Added G_{BEGIN,END}_DECLS guards to public headers that were
1825 missing it. (Xan Lopez)
1827 * Misc gtk-doc improvements
1829 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.5 to 2.25.91:
1831 * Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGNOME when the proxy
1832 requires authentication. (This does not make proxy
1833 authentication *work* yet, it just makes it not crash.)
1835 * Updated documentation
1837 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.4 to 2.25.5:
1839 * SoupProxyResolverGConf (which was incomplete) is gone, and
1840 libsoup-gnome now requires libproxy, which is now officially
1841 an external dependency of GNOME.
1843 * Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJar that was making it send
1844 "Cookie: (null)" when it had no cookies for a site, which
1845 confused some web servers (WebKit bug 23240).
1847 * Fixed a bug with using SOUP_MEMORY_TEMPORARY buffers and
1848 soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE). (Part of WebKit bug
1849 18343, noticed by Gustavo Noronha Silva.)
1851 * Fixed the build with non-gcc compilers
1853 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.3 to 2.25.4:
1855 * Added soup_session_get_feature() and
1856 soup_session_get_features(), to query the features currently
1857 available in a session (which is needed by the patch in
1858 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22624)
1860 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.2 to 2.25.3:
1862 * Fixed a crash when using both cookies and a proxy. [#562191,
1865 * Fixed soup_form_decode() to correctly handle forms with
1866 URI-encoded parameter names [#563302, Evan Nemerson] and
1867 added a regression test.
1869 * Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGConf. [#563145]
1871 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.1 to 2.25.2:
1873 * Fixed client behavior when presented with multiple auth
1874 types to choose the *strongest* auth type (eg, Digest)
1875 rather than the *weakest* one [#562339, Pontus Oldberg].
1876 Added a regression test for this.
1878 * Moved libsoup-gnome headers to a different directory to make
1879 it easier to split libsoup and libsoup-gnome into separate
1880 packages, and to ensure that things that only want to be
1881 looking at plain libsoup headers (like gir-repository) don't
1882 accidentally see the libsoup-gnome ones.
1884 * Some minor doc fixes
1886 * Fixed libsoup-gnome linking with --as-needed. [#559342]
1888 Changes in libsoup from 2.24.1 to 2.25.1:
1890 libsoup 2.25.1 introduces a new library, libsoup-gnome, which
1891 will be used for features which are important to GNOME apps,
1892 but which require GNOME-specific libraries that non-GNOME apps
1893 may not want to add dependencies on.
1895 In 2.25.1, libsoup-gnome contains:
1897 * SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME, a SoupSessionFeature
1898 type that can be added to a SoupSession to provide
1899 automatic proxy handling via the GConf proxy keys. (See
1900 below) The default implementation uses libproxy, which
1901 also handles WPAD, PAC, etc, but if libproxy is not
1902 available it will use GConf directly, supporting only
1903 the basic HTTP proxy functionality.
1905 * SoupCookieJarSqlite, a SoupSessionFeature that handles
1906 cookies and stores them in a Firefox 3-compatible sqlite
1907 file. (This is not actually a "GNOME-specific" feature,
1908 but I didn't want to make libsoup itself depend on
1909 sqlite, and I didn't want to make the dependency
1910 optional. This might change before 2.26.)
1912 * SOUP_TYPE_GNOME_FEATURES_2_26: a SoupSessionFeature type
1913 that can be added to a SoupSession to add all
1914 GNOME-integration features that are available for 2.26;
1915 as of 2.25.1, this is just the GNOME proxy resolver, but
1916 by 2.26.0 it may also include gnome-keyring support and
1917 possibly other features.
1919 Applications/libraries that are currently doing GConf proxy
1920 lookup by hand can be updated as follows:
1922 * Remove all of the existing code that listens to the
1923 GConf keys and sets SOUP_SESSION_PROXY_URI
1925 * Change the configure check to require
1926 "libsoup-gnome-2.4 >= 2.25.1" instead of "libsoup-2.4"
1928 * #include <libsoup/soup-gnome.h>
1930 * After creating your SoupSession, do:
1932 soup_session_add_feature_by_type (session, SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME);
1934 (Or alternatively, use SOUP_SESSION_ADD_FEATURE_BY_TYPE
1935 with soup_session_async_new_with_options() or
1936 soup_session_sync_new_with_options().)
1939 Other new features and bug fixes in 2.25.1 include:
1941 * SoupCookieJarText, like SoupCookieJarSqlite, but using the
1942 old-style cookies.txt format, and in the base libsoup rather
1945 * Various bugfixes to SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar to fix the
1946 problems with cookies not working on certain sites.
1948 * The new SoupMultipart type provides support for multipart
1949 MIME bodies, and soup-form now includes several methods for
1950 generating and parsing multipart form data and file uploads.
1952 * SoupMessageHeaders now has methods for easy handling of the
1953 Content-Type, Content-Disposition, Range, and Content-Range
1954 headers. The Content-Disposition handling recognizes
1955 RFC2231-encoded UTF-8 filenames.
1957 * SoupServer now automatically handles partial GET requests;
1958 if your server returns SOUP_STATUS_OK in response to a
1959 partial GET, libsoup will automatically convert it to a
1960 SOUP_STATUS_PARTIAL_CONTENT response with only the requested
1963 Thanks to Xan Lopez and Diego Escalante Urrelo for their work
1964 on SoupCookie, SoupCookieJar, SoupCookieJarText, and
1965 SoupCookieJarSqlite.
1967 Changes in libsoup from 2.24.0.1 to 2.24.1:
1969 * Fixed a crash when unreffing the session from a
1970 soup_session_queue_message() callback [#533473], and added
1971 regression test. In particular, this fixes a crash in
1972 seahorse when trying to connect to a non-responsive
1975 * Fixed an infinite loop when giving a bad password to a site
1976 that uses non-standard capitalization in the
1977 WWW-Authenticate header (eg, gmail.com) [#536285].
1979 * Fixed a leak in SoupSessionAsync when using a non-default
1980 GMainContext. [addendum to #498509, Arnout Vandecappelle]
1981 Added additional code to the regression tests to make sure
1982 sessions and servers do not get leaked.
1984 * Fixed a leak in the XML-RPC code
1986 * Compile fixes for "gcc -pedantic" [#553976, Sander Dijkhuis]
1987 and -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED / -DG_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES
1988 [#557072, Cosimo Cecchi]
1990 * Patched xmlrpc-test to accept the incorrect response to
1991 test_echo() that php-xmlrpc gives when it's built against
1992 libxml2 >= 2.7.1 (qv http://bugs.php.net/45996), so that
1993 I can "make distcheck"...
1995 * Updated generated documentation
1997 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.92 to 2.24.0.1:
1999 * Reverted part of the fix for #528882, which caused the DAAP
2000 plugin in rhythmbox to crash. [#553466]
2002 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.91 to 2.23.92:
2004 * Fixed the handling of a 302 response to a HEAD request,
2005 which should NOT be treated like a 303 response. [#551190,
2008 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.6 to 2.23.91:
2010 * Fixed a crash in gvfs [#528882], though there is still an
2011 unknown bug there. As part of this fix, libsoup will now
2012 return an error if you try to do an operation on a non-HTTP
2013 URI. (Previously it was just treating any URI scheme except
2016 * Added soup_date_to_timeval() for gvfs. [#549006, patch from
2019 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.1 to 2.23.6:
2021 * Fixed use of g_idle_add() so that heavy I/O won't end up
2022 blocking libsoup callbacks. [#536676, Benjamin Otte]
2024 * Allow the caller to override the Host header. [#539803, Marc
2027 * Properly handle responses larger than 4G. [#539861, Peter
2030 * Fixed the build when using certain LDFLAGS [#541506, Götz
2033 * Fixed a small bug in Digest auth handling. [#544681, Mads
2036 * Fixed multiple Windows bugs [Tor Lillqvist]
2038 Changes in libsoup from 2.4.1 to 2.23.1:
2040 * This is the first unstable release leading up to GNOME 2.24.
2041 Bumped the libsoup version number up to 2.23.x to match the
2042 GNOME version; note that the API version is still "2.4",
2043 meaning in particular that you still call it "libsoup-2.4"
2044 when using pkg-config.
2046 * Added SoupSessionFeature, an interface type that will be
2047 used for several new features. Ported SoupLogger and
2048 SoupAuthManager to use it.
2050 * Added SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar. This API is already
2051 being used in Epiphany, via WebKit, but it is not yet
2054 * Fixed GnuTLS support on Win32. [#528752, Marc Maurer]
2056 Changes in libsoup from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1:
2058 * Fixed SoupMessage to not downgrade to HTTP/1.0 for the
2059 second attempt when it receives an HTTP/1.0 redirect or 401.
2060 [#521848, Tommu Komulainen]
2062 * Fixed Host: header syntax when the host is an IPv6 address
2065 * Fixed SoupSession to not emit "authenticate" multiple times
2066 for messages that have been requeued. [#522601, Tommi
2067 Komulainen]. Also added two new signals to SoupSession,
2068 request-queued and request-unqueued, to help simplify
2069 certain session-helpers and avoid bugs like this in the
2072 * Fixed soup_server_pause_message() to actually work (rather
2073 than *un*pausing the message).
2075 * Added a property SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT that can be used
2076 to set a timeout after which idle connections will
2077 automatically be closed. [#518214, Jorn Baayen]
2079 * Implemented RFC 2069-style Digest auth, and fixed SoupAuth
2080 to compare auth scheme names case-insensitively, to fix
2081 authentication against Apple's calendar server. [#498484]
2083 * Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDomainDigest if the client provided
2084 an unrecognized username. [pointed out by Curtis Magyar on
2087 * Fixed a few SoupDate bugs. (In particular, it was outputting
2088 the wrong day of the week when stringifying dates.)
2090 * Improved the cleanup of idle connections, to fix slow load
2091 times with the libsoup backend of WebKit.
2093 * Added a new SoupMessage signal "wrote-body-data" that can be
2094 used for progress information when sending a large request
2095 body. Also allow providing the request body in multiple
2096 chunks even when using Content-Length encoding. [#525101,
2099 * libsoup now ignores SIGPIPE globally, instead of
2100 un-thread-safe-ly ignoring it only around network writes. In
2101 particular, this means it is ignored when the SSL code needs
2102 to unexpectedly do a write when we asked it to do a read.
2103 [#524397, Curtis Magyar]
2105 * The discard-body-chunks-once-they're-no-longer-needed
2106 behavior, confusingly called SOUP_MESSAGE_OVERWRITE_CHUNKS,
2107 is now controlled by a SoupMessageBody method
2108 (soup_message_body_set_accumulate()), and can be applied to
2109 either the request body or the response body.
2110 (OVERWRITE_CHUNKS is still available for backward
2111 compatibility.) [#522146, Christian Kellner]
2113 * The DNS cache no longer caches "no such host" results, since
2114 some name servers lie to clients outside their firewall,
2115 which could then cause problems for laptops moved between
2116 networks. [#523269, Jörgen Scheibengruber]
2118 * Added some new regression tests, fixed some small bugs in
2121 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.4 to 2.4.0:
2123 * Fixed a small memory leak in SoupSession. [#518798, Wouter
2126 * Minor fixes to redirect behavior; PROPFINDs can now be
2127 automatically redirected (pointed out by Christian Kellner),
2128 and 302 is treated like 307, not 303. Also fixed to make
2129 sure that redirect-test actually gets run by "make check".
2131 * The SoupSocket I/O methods now set nread/nwrote even on
2132 error. [Benjamin Otte]
2134 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.2 to 2.3.4:
2136 * The documentation should be accessible from devhelp again
2137 [#518384, Mart Raudsepp]. (Also fixed another
2138 documentation-generation bug that affected builds from svn,
2139 but not the 2.3.2 tarball for some reason. [#518317,
2142 * Fixed dependencies in libsoup-2.4.pc file [#517631,
2145 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.0.1 to 2.3.2:
2147 API changes / Behavior changes:
2149 * soup_server_add_auth_domain() now refs the auth domain when
2150 adding it. (soup_server_remove_auth_domain() already
2151 unreffed it.) This means existing applications using
2152 SoupAuthDomain will now have a small memory leak. Those
2153 applications should update their libsoup-2.4 requirement to
2154 ">= 2.3.2" at some point before the final GNOME 2.22.0
2155 release, and then fix the code to unref the auth domain
2156 after adding it to the server.
2158 * SoupSession's automatic redirect-handling behavior now obeys
2159 RFC 2616 more closely. In particular, status codes 300 and
2160 304 are no longer mistakenly considered redirects; POSTs
2161 that receive 303 are now redirected into GETs; and POSTs
2162 that receive 301, 302, or 307 are now not redirected.
2164 Applications that were using the SOUP_MESSAGE_NO_REDIRECT
2165 flag to prevent libsoup from redirecting POSTs incorrectly
2166 before should now be able to remove that if they depend on
2167 libsoup-2.4 >= 2.3.2.
2171 * Added a SOUP_SESSION_USER_AGENT property to SoupSession, and
2172 SOUP_SERVER_SERVER_HEADER to SoupServer, to support
2173 automatically adding "User-Agent" and "Server" headers to
2174 messages. (The default behavior is to do nothing, as
2177 * Added several new methods to soup-forms.h. Applications that
2178 are encoding a fixed set of form fields can now just pass
2179 them to soup_form_encode(), rather than needing to construct
2180 a GHashTable or GData list. (Likewise, the new
2181 soup_uri_set_query_from_fields() behaves similarly for
2182 directly updating a URI with form data.) There are also now
2183 soup_form_request_new() and other related methods, to
2184 directly create a GET or POST SoupMessage for submitting a
2187 The original soup_form_* methods have all been renamed,
2188 although #defines exist for backward compatibility.
2190 * Added soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() and
2191 soup_buffer_new_with_owner(), to give applications more
2192 control over memory usage/copying when doing streaming HTTP.
2193 [Wouter Cloetens, #513810].
2195 * Added several new methods to soup-value-utils.h for working
2196 with multiple array or hash table values at once:
2197 soup_value_hash_new_with_vals(),
2198 soup_value_hash_insert_vals(),
2199 soup_value_hash_lookup_vals(),
2200 soup_value_array_new_with_vals(), and
2201 soup_value_array_append_vals().
2203 This helps to simplify XML-RPC calls that send or receive
2206 * Added soup_date_to_time_t().
2208 * Added SoupMessageHeadersIterator, an iterator type for
2209 SoupMessageHeaders that can be used instead of
2210 soup_message_headers_foreach().
2214 * Fixed a crash-when-idle in evolution-exchange [#437835] and
2215 rhythmbox [#506552].
2217 * Added the API version to the gtk-doc installation dir, to
2218 prevent parallel-installation problems with libsoup 2.2 and
2219 2.4. [#512810, Daniel Gryniewicz].
2221 * Fixed tests/query-test to compile correctly on Solaris.
2222 [#513602, patch from Jeff Cai]
2224 * Fixed some other minor HTTP conformance issues.
2228 * Although not present in the release tarball, there are now
2229 experimental python bindings for libsoup in GNOME subversion
2230 (in the python/ subdirectory of libsoup trunk). These are
2231 not yet stable (and are not built by default or installed
2232 even when building from svn), but comments on them are
2233 welcome at libsoup-list@gnome.org
2235 Changes in libsoup from the 2.2 series to 2.3.0.1:
2237 libsoup 2.3.0 is the first beta release of the libsoup 2.4
2238 series. It is an API break from the earlier 2.2 series that
2239 fixes various bugs and API warts and lays the groundwork for
2240 language bindings and various new features in upcoming
2243 (2.3.0.1 is identical to the 2.3.0 release in terms of code,
2244 but includes this updated NEWS file which was accidentally
2245 left out of the 2.3.0 tarball.)
2247 http://library.gnome.org/devel/libsoup/unstable/libsoup-porting-2.2-2.4.html
2248 goes over the API changes in detail. If you have questions not
2249 answered by the porting document, please send mail to
2250 libsoup-list@gnome.org.
2252 Specific user-reported bugs fixed in this release:
2254 * SoupURI now correctly handles URIs with complex encoded
2255 queries [#266516, Jean-Yves Lefort]
2257 * It is now possible for a SoupServer to use Digest auth
2258 without needing to have the cleartext password available.
2259 [#347108, Anas Nashif]
2261 * Digest authentication now properly handles "stale=true" and
2262 "nextnonce=..." [#471380, Jari Urpalainen]
2264 * SoupServer is now subclassible [#491653, Mathias Hasselmann]
2266 * soup_server_run_async and soup_server_quit no longer ref and
2267 unref the server, as that doesn't match ordinary GObject
2268 conventions [#494128, Mathias Hasselmann]
2270 * The test programs no longer use a symbol name that conflicts
2271 with Cygwin [#501631, Cygwin Ports Maintainer]
2273 * libsoup can now handle the not-quite-HTTP responses returned
2274 by Shoutcast servers [#502325, Wouter Cloetens]
2276 * If you use libsoup while disconnected from the network, it
2277 no longer caches the failed DNS results [#508593, Bradley
2280 Items from http://live.gnome.org/LibSoup/ToDo fixed:
2282 * "Expect: 100-continue" processing now works correctly on
2283 both client and server.
2285 * SoupSessions are no longer leaked
2287 * The XML-RPC API is improved. The SOAP API is gone...
2289 * Added utility functions for HTML form handling
2291 * Improved message header handling
2293 * SoupServer now automatically adds a "Date" header
2297 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.103 to 2.2.104:
2299 * soup_message_io_pause() and soup_message_io_pause() are now
2300 allowed for client messages (and in particular, they don't
2301 mess up when called from the "got_chunk" callback).
2302 [#452280, Marco Barisione]
2304 * Fixed some bugs in SOUP_SESSION_ASYNC_CONTEXT support that
2305 would cause parts of an operation to run in the default
2306 context rather than the session's context. Also fixed some
2307 leaks and added a regression test. [#498509, Wouter
2310 * There is a new test/sample program, tests/pull-api.c,
2311 showing how to implement a pull API using SoupSessionAsync.
2312 (This depends on the fixes for #452280 and #498509, so it
2313 won't work with older versions of libsoup.)
2315 * Discovered "valgrind --leak-resolution=med" and fixed some
2318 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.102 to 2.2.103:
2320 * Fix memory corruption in SoupSessionAsync that caused
2321 rhythmbox to crash. [#484988, patch from Rob Bradford]
2323 * Fix socket refcounting in SoupServer to fix warnings /
2324 possible crash. [#459896, Emanuele Aina]
2326 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.101 to 2.2.102:
2328 * Unbreak the build when building without SSL. Not that you
2329 should be building without SSL anyway, but... (reported by
2332 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.100 to 2.2.101:
2334 * Fix build on cygwin [384498]
2336 * Fix SSL rehandshaking on synchronous sockets [415402, Jacob
2337 Berkman] and add a regression test for it.
2339 * Fix two bugs in https tunnels over proxies that require
2340 authentication (noticed by Varadhan), and add a regression
2343 * Ensure that if you queue multiple messages at once to an
2344 http server that requires authentication but that you
2345 haven't authenticated to yet, that all of the messages get
2346 properly authenticated [271540, James Willcox]. And add a
2347 regression test for it.
2349 * Fix NTLM authentication, which got broken by the previous
2350 fix. [471389, Varadhan]. Add a basic NTLM regression test
2351 that doesn't really test the crypto/encoding parts, but at
2352 least makes sure that the message flow is correct.
2354 * Allow trailing whitespace after HTTP version in
2355 Response-Line, for compatibility with broken servers
2356 [475169, Stephane Loeuillet]. Add that case to the
2357 header-parsing regression test.
2359 * Fix crash when the session's "authenticate" handler returns
2360 a username and no password when using NTLM. [480987, Wendell
2363 * Use "new" glib base64 and iso8601 methods rather than
2364 duplicating them. [337010, patch from Emmanuele Bassi].
2366 * Implement soup_session_queue_message() for SoupSessionSync.
2368 * Add G_BEGIN_DECLS / G_END_DECLS to all headers that were
2369 missing them. [438776, patch from Jonathon Jongsma].
2371 * Fix broken definition of SOUP_IS_MESSAGE_FILTER_CLASS. Noted
2372 by "cascardo" on libsoup-list.
2374 * Remove documentation of non-public MD5 methods [440092,
2375 Jonathon Jongsma]. Removed a mysterious half-sentence in the
2376 SoupMessage docs [458116, Marco Barisione].
2378 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.99 to 2.2.100:
2380 * Fixed soup_headers_parse_status_line() so WebDAV response
2381 parsing will work again. [406997]
2383 * Fixed a bug in the header-parsing regression test that
2384 caused the test to fail sometimes, even though the actual
2385 header-parsing code was fine.
2387 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.98 to 2.2.99:
2389 * Fixed header parsing, including a crash in SoupServer with
2390 certain malformed requests [391970].
2392 * Fixed redirection to other hosts with SoupSessionAsync.
2395 * Fixed a small memory leak pointed out by Chris Austin.
2397 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.97 to 2.2.98:
2399 * The XML-RPC code now correctly interprets <value>foo</value>
2400 as meaning the same thing as
2401 <value><string>foo</string></value>. [364490] Pointed out by
2404 * Memory leak fixes from Andrew W. Nosenko.
2406 * A few symbols that should have been static before now are.
2407 [376387] Patch from Matthias Clasen.
2409 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.96 to 2.2.97:
2411 * Fixed SOAP and XML-RPC code to handle whitespace and
2412 comments in the XML better. (Based on a patch from Andrew W.
2415 * Fixed lots of typecasting/constness warnings in the code
2416 (mostly via a patch from Andrew W. Nosenko)
2418 * Fixed build on Cygwin [321827]
2420 * Fixed libsoup-2.2.pc fields [343340] and make it get
2421 uninstalled correctly [356809]. (Mikhail Zabaluev and
2424 * Fixed some small leaks in SoupServer pointed out by Paolo
2427 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.95.1 to 2.2.96:
2429 * SoupServer now works even if you don't explicitly set an
2430 encoding for the response. (In particular, the automatic 404
2431 if you request a path with no handlers now works. Problem
2432 pointed out by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn.)
2434 * WWW-Authenticate and Proxy-Authenticate responses with no
2435 realm parameter are now ignored, as per RFC 2617, fixing a
2436 crash pointed out by Nate Nielsen.
2438 * Added soup_xmlrpc_message_from_string(), from Fernando
2441 * simple-httpd and "get" now support HEAD
2443 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.94 to 2.2.95.1:
2445 * Even more fixes to XML-RPC, found by the new XML-RPC
2446 regression test. This includes some API changes that I don't
2447 feel guilty about, because the code totally didn't work at
2450 * Fixed a bug in soup_mktime_utc()
2452 * (2.2.95 was identical to 2.2.95.1. The only difference is
2453 that the shared library version was belatedly bumped from
2454 8.2.0 to 8.3.0 to reflect the API "additions")
2456 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.93 to 2.2.94:
2458 * Various fixes to the XML-RPC code (which apparently had not
2459 actually ever worked before) from Brent Smith. [343973,
2462 * Added client and server API tutorials to the docs
2464 * auth-test now uses a local Apache 2.2 install, if possible,
2465 rather than depending on files that used to be on an old
2466 Ximian web server but haven't been anywhere for a long time.
2469 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.92 to 2.2.93:
2471 * Fixed outgoing data corruption caused when SoupServer
2472 started writing out a response a second time after already
2473 having started once. [334469]. Also fixed 342640 and another
2474 bug caused by the workaround for 334469 in 2.2.92. Based on
2475 patches and analysis from William Jon McCann and Armin
2478 * Fixed a deadlock when changing a session's proxy URI.
2479 [309867 / bnc 174255, based on a patch by Veerapuram
2482 * Fixed https-via-proxies in the synchronous case. [bnc 174255]
2484 * Fixed a crash in evolution-exchange [342545, fix based on an
2485 analysis by Wang Xin].
2487 * Fixed simple-proxy to not crash at startup. Oops. (Alex
2490 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.91 to 2.2.92:
2492 * Fixed server-side digest auth to return a valid "algorithm"
2493 value and client-side to not crash if it sees an invalid one
2496 * Fixed the Request-Line parsing code to not hardcode a
2497 maximum URI length (to allow very long DAAP requests from
2498 iTunes in Rhythmbox). [335040]
2500 * Fixed some warnings (signed/unsigned mismatch).
2502 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.7 to 2.2.91:
2504 * (The large version number bump is because there was an
2505 internal 2.2.90 release for SUSE 10.1 alphas, which was
2506 supposed to be intermediate between 2.2.7 and 2.4.0. But
2507 2.4.0 didn't end up happening, and I don't want to regress
2508 the version number at this point.)
2510 * SoupSession, SoupServer, SoupConnection, SoupSocket, and
2511 SoupAddress now have an "async-context" property that allows
2512 you to use the async API in a non-default GMainContext.
2513 [Based on patches from Armin Bauer and Jürg Billeter.]
2515 * SoupSession, SoupConnection, and SoupSocket now have a
2516 "timeout" property to stop synchronous sockets from hanging
2517 forever if the remote end is unresponsive (from Varadhan).
2519 * Fixed some bugs in soup_date_iso8601_parse(). [324671, from
2522 * More Windows build fixes from Tor.
2524 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6.1 to 2.2.7:
2526 * Fixed a crash when using NTLM connections [316313, probably
2527 also 318252]. (Also 321208, which was a bug introduced in
2528 the original fix for 316313.)
2530 * Fixed a bug that could cause soup to suck up all available
2531 CPU when a connection to a SoupServer was dropped by the
2532 other side [319305, patch from Jonathan Matthew]
2534 * Fixed the creation of struct elements in XMLRPC messages
2535 [321362, patch from Sebastian Bauer]
2537 * Plugged a small memory leak in SoupSocket (from Wang Xin).
2539 * Fixed two compile problems, a gccism [320349, patch from
2540 Roland Illig], and a strict-aliasing warning from gcc 4.1.
2542 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6 to 2.2.6.1:
2544 * Fixed a crash when using SoupSoapMessage
2546 Changes from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6:
2548 * Fixed a crash when canceling a message (from Tambet Ingo)
2550 * Fixed a bug where a connection could be leaked forever in
2551 some circumstances if a request got a 30x, 401, or 407
2552 response, eventually causing a hang when the session hit its
2553 maximum connection limit. (Dan/Tambet)
2555 * Fixed a memory leak. (Tambet)
2557 * Fixed a bug that would sometimes show up when connecting to
2558 a server on localhost [#312540]
2560 * Added some API to SoupServer and SoupSocket to help fix a
2561 long-standing rcd bug.
2563 Changes from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5:
2565 * Win32 support (from Tor Lillqvist)
2567 * Up-to-date API documentation pretty much everywhere
2569 * Basic XMLRPC support (from Mariano Suarez-Alvarez, Fernando
2570 Herrera, and Jeff Bailey)
2572 * New HTTP timestamp-manipulation methods soup_date_parse,
2573 soup_date_generate, and soup_date_iso8601_parse.
2575 * SoupSession now handles relative URLs in the Location header
2576 (in violation of RFC 2616, but in line with how some servers
2579 Changes from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4:
2581 * Fixed a problem with NTLM authentication against
2582 multi-domain servers. [306877]
2584 * Fixed DNS lookups on Solaris. [254551, 268389]
2586 Changes from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3:
2588 * Now compiles against gnutls 1.2.0 [257811]
2590 * Fixed a bug that could result in 100% CPU usage if an SSL
2591 server closed the connection uncleanly. [273352]
2593 Changes from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2:
2595 * The SSL validation fix from 2.2.1 [264414] is now completely
2596 fixed. (Part of the fix didn't actually make it into 2.2.1)
2598 * HTTPS certificate validation now works when using an HTTP
2601 * HTTP proxy code deals better with proxies that try to make
2602 the user do HTML-form-based authentication. [268531]
2604 * 64-bit fixes for NTLM auth code. [270323, from Michael
2607 Changes from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1:
2609 * Updated for a libgcrypt API change between 1.1.9x and 1.2.x
2610 that caused a crash at runtime if you compiled against
2613 * SSL certificate validation failure should now always result
2614 in a status of SOUP_STATUS_SSL_FAILED, rather than getting
2615 turned into SOUP_STATUS_IO_ERROR. [264414]
2618 Changes in libsoup from the 2.0 series (1.99.x versions) to 2.2:
2620 * Most of the libsoup datatypes are now GObjects. (SoupUri
2621 is currently an exception to this.)
2623 * SoupMessage now emits signals at various stages of
2624 processing. (Eg, "wrote_body", "got_headers".) (You
2625 can also still use soup_message_add_*handler().)
2627 * SoupContexts are gone; soup_message_new() now takes a URI
2630 * All formerly global state is now maintained by the
2631 SoupSession object. (This includes the connection pool,
2632 proxy server, cached authentication information, SSL
2635 * You can create a SoupSessionAsync (for 2.0-like
2636 behavior) or SoupSessionSync (for blocking,
2639 * You can add SoupMessageFilter objects to a session
2640 to have certain processing automatically performed
2641 on every message sent via that session. (Eg, setting
2644 * NTLM authentication is no longer supported by
2645 default. You must enable it by setting the
2646 SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM flag on the session.
2648 * The preferred method of handling authentication is
2649 now via the "authenticate" and "reauthenticate"
2650 signals on SoupSession. (The old style, of encoding
2651 the user and password information into the url is
2652 also still supported.)
2654 * The SOUP_ERROR_* values are now SOUP_STATUS_* (so that we
2655 don't have "SOUP_ERROR_OK" and the like).
2657 * SOUP_MESSAGE_IS_ERROR() is gone, since some cases
2658 want to include 3xx responses and some don't.
2660 * SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE and
2661 SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE_PROXY are now gone,
2662 since they didn't carry any information that
2663 SOUP_STATUS_UNAUTHORIZED and
2664 SOUP_STATUS_PROXY_UNAUTHORIZED don't.
2666 * DNS errors now show up as the new status code
2667 SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than being mixed in
2668 with SOUP_ERROR_CANT_CONNECT.
2670 * Minimal SOAP support has been added back, via
2671 SoupSoapMessage/SoupSoapResponse
2673 * The HTTP I/O state machine was completely rewritten, fixing
2674 numerous crashes, leaks, and protocol errors.
2676 * SoupUri now conforms to RFC 2396. Mostly.
2678 * Various test programs have been added under tests/
2682 * Support for OpenSSL (which was horribly buggy) and
2683 Mozilla NSS (which was never finished). We only
2684 support GNUTLS for SSL now.
2688 * CGI support in SoupServer
