1 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.92 to 2.38.0:
3 * Minor documentation fixes
5 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.91 to 2.37.92:
7 * Added soup_session_prefetch_dns() and deprecated
8 soup_session_prepare_for_uri(). The new method takes a
9 completion callback, allowing you to know how many DNS
10 resolutions are currently outstanding, so you don't spam the
11 resolver. [Sergio, WebKit bug #41630]
13 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.90 to 2.37.91:
15 * Fixed an out-of-bounds memory read that could occur when
16 parsing malformed requests/responses.
18 * Fixed a build-related bug in Makefile.glib that affected
19 locales such as Estonian where "Z" is not the last (ASCII)
20 letter of the alphabet. [#654395, Priit Laes]
22 * Fixed the handling of file: URIs with query components,
23 which got broken in 2.37.90.
25 * Fixed SoupAuthManagerNTLM to not fall back to allowing Basic
26 auth when NTLM failed.
28 * Further tweaked the warnings/fallback in SoupURI, so that
29 soup_uri_to_string() on an http URI with a NULL path would
30 translate that to "/" like it used to. [#670431]
32 * Fixed a warning when cancelling the load of a page with many
33 subresources. [#667245]
35 * Use G_GNUC_BEGIN/END_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS if GLib is new
36 enough, to avoid getting warned about the use of
39 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.5 to 2.37.90:
41 * libsoup is now beta-testing Makefile.glib from bug 654395.
42 If 2.37.90 fails to build in some strange way that 2.37.5
43 did not, this is probably why.
45 * Replaced some of the SoupURI g_return_if_fail()s that were
46 added in 2.37.5 with g_warn_if_fail()s. Although it had
47 always been documented that SoupURIs must have a non-NULL
48 path, most SoupURI functions treated NULL the same as "",
49 and various apps (eg, rhythmbox, midori) were accidentally
50 relying on this. [Dan]
52 * Added various return-if-fails and other sanity checks to
53 various functions. [#669479, Robert Swain, Mark Nauwelaerts,
56 * Updated docs/annotation of soup_form_decode_multipart() to
57 note that all of the out parameters are (allow-none). Fixed
58 the file_control_name parameter to actually allow NULL like
59 the docs already claimed. [#669479, Simon McVittie]
61 * Fixed a minor URI parsing bug. (It was allowing URI schemes
62 to contain numbers.) [Dan]
64 * Fixed a few memory leaks introduced in the 2.37 cycle. [Dan]
66 * Fixed SoupServer to be able to correctly respond to HTTP/1.0
67 requests over IPv6 (which previously would always have
68 returned "400 Bad Request"). [#666399, Dan]
70 * Changed SoupSessionAsync to make it possible to finalize it
71 from the "wrong" thread. [#667364, Dan].
73 * Fixed SoupCache to not cache resources whose URIs have query
74 components (unless they have explicit cache headers); to not
75 generate broken conditional requests for resources that
76 cannot be conditionally validated; and to not spew warnings
77 when receiving invalid Cache-Control headers. [#668865,
80 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.4 to 2.37.5:
82 * Fixed a bug in SoupSession:use-thread-context [Dan]
84 * Fixed the case of cancelling a message from
85 SoupSession::request-started [#668098, Raphael Kubo da
88 * Fixed a crash in epiphany when loading a page with more than
89 1000 or so images. [#668508, Dan]
91 * Fixed a bunch of cases involving invalid URLs found while
92 testing SoupServer against an HTTP protocol fuzzer. Also
93 fixed up some documentation/annotations and added some new
94 test cases. [#667637, Simon McVittie]
96 * Fixed SoupRequestFile to work on Windows. [Paweł Forysiuk]
98 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.3 to 2.37.4:
100 * SoupMessage now has a "network-event" signal that can be
101 monitored for information about DNS, proxy lookup, TCP
102 connections, and TLS handshakes. [Dan]
104 * The HTTP header parsing code now avoids hitting
105 g_return_if_fails() (and returns an error instead) in a few
106 cases of seriously-invalid headers. [#666316, Simon
109 * POSTs and other non-idempotent requests are now always sent
110 on newly-created connections. You can also force this
111 behavior on other messages by setting the
112 SOUP_MESSAGE_NEW_CONNECTION flag. [#578990, Dan]
114 * Server-closed idle connections are now detected ahead of
115 time on Windows, preventing occasional spurious "Connection
116 terminated unexpectedly" errors. (This had been fixed on
117 UNIX since 2.28, but the earlier fix didn't work with
118 WinSock.) [#578990, Dan]
120 * Plugged a leak in SoupRequestHTTP. [#667099, Xan]
122 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.2 to 2.37.3:
124 * Now requires glib 2.31
126 * Simplified SoupHTTPInputStream and SoupRequestHTTP, allowing
127 related simplifications in WebKit's ResourceHandleSoup. This
128 is an ABI-incompatible change, but SoupHTTPInputStream is an
129 unstable API. [#663451, Dan]
131 * Fixed a bug that caused the SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED
132 flag to always be cleared, causing epiphany to claim all
133 https pages were untrusted. [#665182, Dan]
135 * Fixed some bugs in the handling of SoupSession:http-aliases
136 and SoupSession:https-aliases.
138 * Fixed handling of ACLOCAL_FLAGS [#641470, Craig Keogh]
140 * Fixed SoupContentDecoder's "ignore Content-Encoding: gzip
141 because the server didn't actually mean it" hack to handle
144 * Clarified the documentation on SoupSession:ssl-strict
147 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.1 to 2.37.2:
149 * Fixed up the output of SoupDirectoryInputStream, thus
150 improving the display of local directories in WebKit-based
151 browsers. [#662266, Sergio]
153 * Fixed a bug introduced in 2.37.1 that caused some cancelled
154 SoupMessages to be leaked. [#662847, Sergio]
156 * Added new SoupSession properties "http-aliases" and
157 "https-aliases" that allow you to configure more explicitly
158 what URL protocols are treated as aliases for http (eg,
159 "dav:", "webcal:", etc), and which should be recognized as
160 meaning something else, (eg, "ftp:") [Dan]
162 * Added soup_session_would_redirect() and
163 soup_session_redirect_message(), to help users that want to
164 handle some or all redirects themselves. Added
165 soup_message_set_redirect() to make it easier to return
166 redirection responses from a SoupServer. [Dan]
168 * Added the SoupSession "use-thread-context" property, which
169 tells it to use GMainContexts in a gio-compliant way (and in
170 particular, allows having different messages running in
171 different GMainContexts on the same SoupSession, though only
172 to a limited extent since SoupSessionAsync is still not
173 thread-safe). In particular, this was added in order to
174 address WebKit bug 68238. [Dan]
176 * Made SoupURI %-encode non-ASCII characters when parsing
177 URIs, in particular to fix a problem with certain servers
178 sending syntactically invalid redirects that they would then
179 only interpret correctly if you fixed the syntax for them.
180 (@$!@#! Although the new code is probably more correct than
181 the old code anyway, so...) [#662806, Dan]
183 * Fixed a connection-handling bug that could cause problems
184 with servers that requested authentication and then timed
185 out the connection while the application was waiting for the
186 user to enter a password. [#660057, Dan]
188 * Made NTLM and Basic authentication handle some non-ASCII
189 usernames and passwords. (NTLM should handle most. It's
190 impossible to fix Basic in the general case.) [#576838,
191 Joachim Breitner, "sponsored by ITOMIG GmbH and the City of
194 * Added support for "deflate" Content-Encoding, so that we can
195 work with broken servers that insisted on using it even
196 though we explicitly indicated in the request headers that
197 we didn't support it. (@$#!#) [#661682, Sergio]
199 Changes in libsoup from 2.36.0 to 2.37.1:
201 * Fixed a problem with connections being assigned to multiple
202 requests at once after a redirection [#651146, Sergio]. Made
203 soup_session_pause/unpause_message() work in any state, not
204 just while the HTTP I/O is occurring, and used this to add a
205 test case for that bug. [Dan]
207 * Ported SoupSession to use GTlsDatabase internally, and added
208 two new properties, SoupSession:use-system-ca-file (to
209 specify that the session should use the default system
210 tlsdb) and SoupSession:tlsdb (to specify a specific tlsdb to
213 * Likewise, added SoupServer:tls-certificate, for specifying a
214 certificate/key for an https server to use.
216 * Made SoupHTTPInputStream use memory more efficiently.
219 * Fixed soup_message_get_https_status() to return information
220 more reliably (with latest glib-networking).
222 * Bumped the glib requirement to 2.30.0; although libsoup does
223 not use any new glib 2.30 APIs, there are several important
224 bugfixes in glib between 2.28 and 2.30 that libsoup needs.
225 Currently libsoup builds against either glib 2.30.x or glib
228 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.92 to 2.36.0:
230 * Improvements to gtk-doc documentation. [Dan]
232 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.90 to 2.35.92:
234 * Fixed a problem where SoupHTTPRequest response bodies could
235 be truncated. [#659256, Sergio]
237 * Fixed a bug in copying TLS information from SoupSocket to
238 SoupMessage, causing all https connections to be reported as
239 "untrusted" in epiphany. [Dan]
241 * Made SoupSession remove items from its host cache after a
242 while, so that if a host changes IP address, it will
243 eventually try to re-resolve it. [#646959, Sergio]
245 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.5 to 2.35.90:
247 * Added SOUP_MESSAGE_CAN_REBUILD flag, to use with
248 soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE) on a request body,
249 to indicate that the caller will recreate the request body
250 after it has been discarded if the message needs to be
253 * Fixed the build on mingw-w64 by not using "interface" as
254 as variable name. [#656402, Erik van Pienbroek]
256 * (The multihosted https server regression mentioned in the
257 2.35.5 NEWS turned out to be a glib-networking bug, which is
258 fixed as of 2.29.18.)
260 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.4 to 2.35.5:
262 * Support NTLM single sign on via samba's /usr/bin/ntlm_auth.
263 [#650940, Mandy Wu]. This is enabled by default (if NTLM is
264 enabled for the session and the ntlm_auth binary is
265 available), but will fall back to the standard
266 password-based authentication if SSO fails.
268 * Default to TLS+extensions for https connections, falling
269 back to SSLv3-without-extensions (the old default) only if
270 the server fails to negotiate TLS. [#581342]
272 * As a result of this change, some users are currently
273 seeing problems with sites that serve multiple https
274 hosts from a single IP address (eg,
275 *.launchpad.net). There is no known workaround at
278 * Fixed a longstanding problem with https pages sometimes not
279 loading when using a proxy. [#631368, based on patches from
280 DongJae Kim and Thierry Reding]
282 * SoupContentSniffer: don't use gio's sniffing rules, since
283 the spec now recommends that browsers not do any additional
284 sniffing beyond what's in the spec. [#648846, "arno"]
286 * Fixed SoupRequestHTTP to work properly with alternate
287 GMainContexts. [#653707]
289 * Added some annotations from Vala's vapi files. [#655397,
290 Evan Nemerson]. Also, removed SoupProxyResolver from the
291 gir/typelib, since it had been deprecated since before
292 introspection was available, and it was being scanned wrong
295 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.3 to 2.35.4:
297 * CVE-2011-2524: Fixed a security hole that caused some
298 SoupServer users to unintentionally allow accessing the
299 entire local filesystem when they thought they were only
300 providing access to a single directory. [#653258]
302 * Plugged another SoupCache memory leak [Xan]
304 * Simplified SoupCache keys, and handle collisions. [#649963,
307 * Annotate SoupSession:add-feature, etc, as (skip), so they
308 don't conflict with the methods of the same name. [#655150,
311 Changes in libsoup from 2.34.1 to 2.35.3:
313 * SoupCache fixes [Sergio]:
315 * Don't store hop-by-hop headers [#650094]
317 * Fix status code and headers of responses returned
318 from the cache after being revalidated [#649965]
320 * Added versioning support to the cache file format
321 [#652554] and extended it to keep track of the
322 status code [#649965]
324 * Fixed storage of time values in the cache [#653349]
326 * Fixed a use-after-free that could result in bogus
327 data being written to the cache [#650620]
329 * Various leaks [#649309]
331 * Work around an Apache bug where it tells browsers to
332 automatically decode .gz files but still keep the .gz in the
335 * Fixed an overflow when sending a response larger than 2^31
336 bytes (eg, streaming movies in Rygel). [#638468, Jens Georg]
338 * Always send the Keep-Alive header, not just to hosts we
339 already know to be HTTP/1.0 [#648680, Sergio]
341 * Fixed various leaks [#652699, Sergio], [#651643, Milan],
344 * Minor build fix for Debian/Ubuntu [#648948]
348 Changes in libsoup from 2.34.0 to 2.34.1:
350 * Two multipart forms/Content-Disposition fixes [Dan]:
352 * UTF-8-encoded header encoding/decoding rules updated
353 to match RFC 5987. In particular, a UTF-8-encoded
354 filename parameter in Content-Disposition will now
355 override an ASCII one.
357 * When not using UTF-8-encoded filenames in
358 Content-Disposition, always quote the filename,
359 since some servers erroneously fail to handle
360 non-quoted ones. [#641280]
362 * Fixed several memory leaks [Dan, Xan]
364 * Fixed decoding base64 data: URLs [#646896, Sergio]
366 * Simplified the libsoup-gnome build on Windows by dropping
367 the gnome-keyring dependency. [Fridrich Štrba]
369 * Fixed a bug in soup_uri_to_string() in which (invalid) port
370 numbers could be output as negative numbers (tripping up a
371 WebKit "sanity checking" test). [#647767, Sergio]
373 * Fixed a cache corruption bug in SoupCache. [#648285, Sergio]
375 * Fixed a crash in SoupSessionSync when using
376 soup_session_abort().
378 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.92 to 2.34.0:
380 * Fixed the GMainContext handling of the new
381 SoupProxyResolverDefault (which among other things fixes
382 gstreamer usage inside epiphany). [#646201, Sebastian Dröge]
384 * Tweaked the introspection Makefile rules to fix a problem
385 building on Debian/Ubuntu. [#645505]
387 * Belated bumped the shared library versioning to reflect the
388 API additions since 2.32.0
390 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.90 to 2.33.92:
392 * LIBSOUP NO LONGER DEPENDS ON GCONF OR LIBPROXY.
395 * Added SoupProxyResolverDefault, which uses uses gio's
396 GProxyResolver to resolve proxies [#642982, Gustavo Noronha
397 Silva]. Despite the "default" in the name, it is not used by
398 default, for compatibility reasons, but it is available in
399 plain libsoup, not libsoup-gnome. (Of course, it depends on
400 having glib-networking installed.)
402 * Updated SoupProxyResolverGNOME to be based on
403 SoupProxyResolverDefault, but explicitly requesting the
404 "gnome" GProxyResolver if it is available [#625898], and
405 removed the old code that used GConf and libproxy directly.
407 * Added soup_server_disconnect(), to explicitly disconnect a
408 SoupServer, since it is not possible to g_object_unref() it
409 from memory-managed language bindings. [#638576, Andreas
412 * SoupDate now parses month names case-insensitively [#644048,
415 * Avoid a g_return_if_fail() when using
416 SOUP_COOKIE_JAR_ACCEPT_NO_THIRD_PARTY with non-http URIs
417 (file:, data:, etc). [#643226]
419 * SoupCookieJar now catches overflows when parsing very
420 distant dates [#643462, based on a patch from Mark
423 * Fixed a buggy interaction between request body streaming and
424 restarted requests [David Woodhouse]. Added some new tests
425 to tests/chunk-test.c to make sure that a specific
426 (unsupported!) way of using those methods would not get
427 broken in the future.
429 * Fixed soup_socket_get_remote_address(), which had been
430 broken since 2.33.4 (and which in turn caused
431 soup_client_context_get_address/_get_host to be broken).
434 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.6 to 2.33.90:
436 * Attempted to make libsoup's dependency on glib-networking
437 (for TLS support) more explicit, by requiring that
438 glib-networking be present at compile time unless the
439 builder explicitly passes "--disable-tls-check", and noting
440 that packagers should give libsoup a runtime dependency on
443 * Fixed a bug in talking to servers with virtual hosts with
444 Unicode names (IDNs) [#642075]
446 * Added a "Connection: Keep-Alive" header when talking to
447 HTTP/1.0 hosts, to improve performance. [#640414, Sergio
450 * Changed SoupCache to not cache multipart/x-mixed-replace
451 content. [#642028, Sergio Villar Senin]
453 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.5 to 2.33.6:
455 * Made SoupSessionAsync do idle-connection cleanup more
456 sanely, resulting in faster load times for pages with lots
457 of subresources. [#639768, Sergio Villar Senin]
459 * Fixed soup_form_decode()'s behavior (and by extension,
460 SoupServer query string handling) with datasets that contain
461 multiple values for the same key, and added a test case.
462 [#639783, Sven Neumann]
464 * Fixed warnings pointed out by gcc 4.6, including a bug in
465 SoupCache that would cause unnecessary revalidations
468 * Belated copied a fix from the WebKit copy of soup-cache.c
469 into ours, and fixed a bug in the local copy of
470 soup-request-data.c [#641022, Sergio Villar Senin], in
471 preparation for making WebKit use the libsoup versions.
473 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.4 to 2.33.5:
475 * Fixed certain cases of soup_session_cancel_message() with
476 SoupSessionSync that could previously cause warnings or
479 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.2 to 2.33.4:
481 * SoupSocket now uses GSocketConnection and GTlsConnection
482 internally rather than making socket calls directly and
483 using GIOStream, and TLS is handled via glib's APIs rather
484 than using gnutls directly.
486 * The gzip Content-Encoding handler is now implemented using
489 * As a result of the above two changes, libsoup no longer
490 directly depends on gnutls, libgcrypt, or zlib, though it
491 still indirectly depends on zlib via glib and libxml2. Also,
492 although libsoup does not depend on glib-networking as a
493 build-time dependency, some "make check" tests will be
494 skipped if it is not installed.
496 * The SoupRequest/SoupCache code from WebKit has been
497 imported, but it is not yet recommended for general use, and
498 is not necessarily API stable. [#523100, Sergio Villar, with
499 the SoupRequest parts based on the Summer of Code work by
500 Gabriel Corvalan and the cache parts based on an earlier
503 * Added SoupMessage:tls-certificate and
504 SoupMessage:tls-errors, which give more information about
505 the certificate used to authenticate a TLS connection.
507 * It is now possible to disable Basic or Digest auth in a
508 session by using soup_session_remove_feature_by_type() with
509 SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_BASIC or SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_DIGEST. Likewise, the
510 right way to enable NTLM support now is to call
511 soup_session_add_feature_by_type() with SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_NTLM;
512 SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM is now deprecated.
514 * Allow setting cookies on file:// URIs, since other browsers
515 do, and WebKit has a test for it. [#603825]
517 * .gir/.typelib files now include C header/library information
518 (needed by vala and some other bindings) [#635395, Evan
521 * Added annotations on soup_message_headers_get_content_type()
522 [Lucas Rocha] and SoupHTTPVersion [John Palmieri]
524 * Fixed a Set-Cookie processing leak [#636741, Jonathan
527 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.1 to 2.32.2:
529 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused evolution-exchange
530 to get stuck and stop updating. [#634422]
532 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with apps using asynchronous
533 sessions from multiple threads (in particular, gupnp)
536 * Fixed the regression test for #631525 to not cause spurious
537 "make check" failures on some machines.
539 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.0 to 2.32.1:
541 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with the use of persistent
542 connections that caused spurious "Connection terminated
543 unexpectedly" errors. [#631525, debugged by Sergio Villar]
545 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused proxy-related
546 DNS errors to return SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than
547 SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE_PROXY.
549 * Usernames/passwords specified explicitly in request URIs now
550 override existing cached auth info. [#631679, Sergio Villar]
552 * Changed soup_uri_decode() and soup_uri_normalize() to just
553 ignore malformed %-encoding rather than returning NULL,
554 for consistency with soup_uri_new(). [#630540]
556 * Fixed soup_form_decode() to ignore invalid parameters,
557 and soup_form_encode_hash() to just g_return_if_fail()
558 rather than crashing if there are NULL values in the
561 * Added another workaround for stupid servers that close the
562 connection before returning the full response (in this case,
563 when using chunked encoding and failing to include the
564 final 0-length chunk). [#629160]
566 * Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJarText that deleted excess cookies
567 whenever any cookie expired. [#631641, Michał Kazior]
569 * Fixed a small leak in SoupContentDecoder if you were using
570 it incorrectly. [pointed out in email by Christophe
573 * Added regression tests for passwords-in-URIs [#631679,
574 Sergio Villar] and SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT.
576 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.92 to 2.32.0:
578 * (No changes, just a version bump)
580 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.90 to 2.31.92:
582 * Updated for gobject-introspection 0.9.5. Also added some new
583 annotations and removed a bunch of private headers from the
586 * Percent-encoded characters in URIs are no longer
587 automatically normalized to uppercase, since apparently some
588 servers are stupid. [#628728, Sergio Villar Senin]
590 * Fixed a crash when resolving a URI containing both spaces
591 and non-UTF8 8bit characters. [#629449]
593 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.90:
595 * libsoup now tries to connect to each IP address associated
596 with a hostname, if the first one fails. In particular, if a
597 host has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and only one of them
598 is reachable from the current host, libsoup will now try the
599 other one rather than failing. (libc is supposed to sort the
600 IP addresses in the right order, such that, eg, if you don't
601 have IPv6 connectivity, it will put the IPv4 address first.
602 For some reason though, this seems to be broken on some
605 * Fixed Accept-Language header generation in locales where ","
606 is used as the decimal point.
608 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.6:
610 * Disabled TLS 1.2 in addition to the already-disabled 1.1 and
611 1.0 [see below, in libsoup 2.27.2], thus making libsoup
612 usable with gnutls 2.10. [#622857. This commit, 01a43ad9,
613 can be applied to libsoup 2.30.x as well if you need that
614 release to work with gnutls 2.10.]
616 * When using libproxy 0.3 or newer, libsoup no longer leaks
617 proxy-related environment variables into child processes
620 * Changed the way message/connection binding works in
621 SoupSession so that (among other things), when there are
622 multiple requests queued to a host, and one of them gets a
623 network error, the other requests are still allowed to try
624 to succeed, rather than all failing immediately. [#619633]
626 * SoupSession now limits the number of times a message can be
627 redirected, to avoid infinite loops [#604383, José Millán
630 * Fixed handling of certain messages where the response
631 headers included "Connection: close" but the server did not
632 actually close the connection at the end. [#611481]
634 * Fixed some incorrect g-i annotations [#621021]
636 * Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access when processing certain
637 Set-Cookie headers [#620288]
639 * Improved msg->reason_phrase on network errors [#623274]
641 * Fixed gir file disting [#621727, Yaakov Selkowitz]
643 Changes in libsoup from 2.30.1 to 2.31.2:
645 * gobject-introspection has now been merged in. Use
646 --enable-introspection to build. [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
647 Note that the introspected API is not yet stable, and in
648 particular, there are numerous values annotated as "utf8"
649 which are actually not guaranteed to be utf8. (Eg, most
652 * Added some helper functions for bindings:
653 soup_buffer_new_take(),
654 soup_message_body_append_take(), and
655 soup_buffer_get_data(). [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
657 * Also added properties for several SoupMessage public
658 fields, and getter methods for various boxed types
659 (SoupCookie, SoupDate, SoupURI).
661 * Added some additional hash-table annotations.
662 [#619086, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
664 * Marked SoupSession abstract. [#617216, Lorenzo Gil, the
665 first bug filed by someone trying to use libsoup via
666 introspection!] Likewise for SoupAuth and SoupAuthDomain.
668 * Fixed a problem with SoupSessionAsync that would cause
669 messages to get lost if you aborted a previous message while
670 it was still looking up the hostname. Fixed several other
671 problems that were discovered while adding a regression test
672 for that. [#618641, thanks to Claudio Saavedra for a good
675 * Fixed another connecting-to-lame-http-server problem, and a
676 getting-stuck-in-a-loop-reconnecting bug that it revealed.
679 Changes in libsoup from 2.30.0 to 2.30.1:
681 * Fix for https through proxies that close the connection when
682 returning a "407 Proxy Authentication Required" response,
683 and add a regression test for that case. [#611663]
685 * Fixed multiple forms/multipart-related interoperability
686 problems reported by Egon Andersen:
688 * Don't quote the multipart boundary string if it's
689 not needed, since RFC 2616 recommends that you
690 don't, and some servers don't handle quotes there
691 correctly. (Sigh.) [#614176]
693 * Don't put an extra blank line before the first
694 multipart part, since it's unnecessary and some
695 servers don't handle a multipart preamble correctly.
698 * Don't put Content-Transfer-Encoding headers in the
699 multipart/form-data parts, even though the HTML 4
700 spec says you must, since no other browsers do, and
701 some servers don't handle them correctly. (Sigh.)
704 * Changed SoupCookieJarSqlite to actually erase deleted
705 cookies from the database. [#615711, Lukasz Slachciak]
707 * Fixed SoupLogger to be more robust against getting passed
708 bad data by the session. [#611663]
710 * Fixed SoupAuthDomain to ignore paths when doing proxy auth
712 * Fixed a g_warning when hovering over a javascript link in
713 WebKit. [#613442, Xan Lopez]
715 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.91 to 2.30.0:
717 * Fixed a crash in the whitespace-stripping code in
718 soup_uri_new() [#612644, "arnaud.lb"]
720 * Update content-sniffing algorithm to match Chrome and the
721 soon-to-be-updated sniffing spec. [#611502, Gustavo Noronha
724 * We now handle "Content-Encoding: x-gzip" as well as "gzip"
725 (even though "x-gzip" has been deprecated for more than 10
728 * Fixed leaks found by valgrind
730 * Make the "make check" programs only bind to 127.0.0.1, not
731 any public network interfaces. [#609489, Saleem Absulrasool]
733 * Add a test to sniffing-test to make sure that Content-Type
734 parameters are preserved correctly. [Gustavo Noronha Silva]
736 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.90 to 2.29.91:
738 * Added SOUP_SESSION_SSL_STRICT and
739 SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED, to allow callers to
740 determine if an https response comes from a server with a
741 recognized/valid or unrecognized/invalid certificate.
742 [#610374, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
744 * Fixed handling of certain badly-formatted URIs [#590524]
746 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.6 to 2.29.90:
748 * Added soup_cookie_jar_set_accept_policy() and related API
749 for implementing cookie acceptance policies. [#608353, Xan
752 * Fixed the "request-read" signal in SoupServer to actually be
755 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.5 to 2.29.6:
757 * Fixed SoupContentDecoder to ignore trailing junk after the
758 encoded message body (as other browsers do), rather than
759 getting stuck in an infinite loop. [#606352]
761 * Fixed an invalid read in soup_cookie_applies_to_uri()
762 [#607024, pointed out by Xan]
764 * Fixed linking on OS X [#606959]
766 * Removed a harmless warning in SoupServer. [#606645]
768 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.3 to 2.29.5:
770 * Added SoupContentDecoder, providing support for
771 Content-Encoding: gzip for WebKitGTK. [#522772]
773 * Added "accept-language" and "accept-language-auto"
774 properties to SoupSession, to support the Accept-Language
775 header. [#597004, Mario Sanchez Prada]
777 * Fixed a bug in SoupPasswordManagerGNOME that could cause
778 crashes if you typed the wrong password once and then tried
779 again. [#595554, debugged by Gustavo Noronha Silva]
781 * Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDigest if the server claims support
782 for both qop=auth and qop=auth-int. (This was not noticed
783 sooner because no one actually supports qop=auth-int, and
784 the server in question here was probably confused. :)
786 * Updated cookie parsing/output to more closely match
787 draft-ietf-httpstate-cookie-00. [Also fixes #603496 (WebKit
788 unit test), and #604794 (hang parsing malformed Set-Cookie
791 * Fixed https-via-proxy to not hang if there is an error
792 communicating with the proxy immediately after the TLS
793 negotiation. [#587528]
795 * Fixed a bug that broke gobject-introspection's introspection
796 of libsoup. [#603696, Vincent Untz]
798 * Handle spurious CR/LFs between responses. [#602863,
799 Alexander V. Butenko]
801 * Fixed soup-message-client-io to not erroneously include URI
802 fragments on the Request-Line when sending via a proxy.
803 [Related to WebKit bug #28687]
805 * Fixed Digest authentication against certain (buggy?)
806 clients/servers that require you to use quotes in exactly the
807 same places where the spec uses them. [#582219]
809 * Fix ugly gtype-related hack to work with the latest unstable
810 glib. [Benjamin Otte]
812 Changes in libsoup from 2.28.1 to 2.29.3:
814 * Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite when using cookie
815 databases not created by libsoup (eg, upgraded epiphany
816 installations). [Patch from Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]
818 * Fixed SoupCookieJar to handle non-http URIs properly (so
819 that, eg, JavaScript bookmarklets that try to set/read
820 cookies won't cause crashes). [#602498]
822 * HEAD requests that receive a "303 See Other" response will
823 now do a HEAD, not a GET, on the redirected-to resource.
824 Fixes gvfs access to some sites, including certain
825 youtube.com URIs. [#600830]
827 * Fixed a g_warning that would always trigger in the
828 server-side SoupCookie code. [#602389]
830 * Fixed the server-side SoupMultipart code to be able to parse
831 multiparts containing binary attachments, rather than
832 rejecting them as malformed. [#601640]
834 * Fixed the Request-Line format in the https-over-proxy case.
835 Among other things, this fixes access to bugzilla.gnome.org
836 from WebKitGTK-based browsers. [#598277, #600826]
838 * Fixed a leak in SoupSession if a message was cancelled while
839 the initial socket connection was in progress. [#596074,
840 debugged by Arnout Vandecappelle]
842 * Fixed server-side parsing of Digest auth. [#602898, Chris
845 * Fixed WinSock initialization on Windows. [#600689, Tor
848 * Fixed a sporadic crash in the SSL code on Windows. [#600748,
851 * Fixed handling of https connections with timeouts on
852 Windows. [#600749, Tor Lillqvist]
854 * Added soup_session_prepare_for_uri(), to allow DNS
855 prefetching for faster browsing. [#598948, José Millán Soto]
857 * SoupSession now avoids redundant DNS lookups again when
858 first connecting to a new site, resulting in (probably
859 imperceptibly) faster loads.
861 * Added some debugging APIs to SoupConnection and SoupSession
862 for use by, eg, epiphany's soup-fly extension. [#589163,
865 Changes in libsoup from 2.28.0 to 2.28.1:
867 * libsoup will now attempt to make multiple connections to a
868 server at once when there are multiple messages queued to
869 that server. The previous behavior (only allowing a single
870 pending connection to each server) resulted in slow load
871 times on pages with lots of subresources (images, css, js,
872 etc) on servers that disallow persistent connections.
875 * There should now be fewer (no?) "Connection terminated
876 unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK.
878 * Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite [#596859, patch from
881 * Fixed soup_address_get_physical() and address-to-name
882 resolution of SoupAddress [patch from Enrico Tröger].
884 * Fixed a bug in SoupContentSniffer that could cause false
885 negatives [#597545, patch from Alejandro Castro].
887 * Fixed the configure error if you have gnutls-devel but not
888 gcrypt-devel installed [#587709].
890 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.92 to 2.28.0:
892 * Fixed a handful of leaks found with valgrind, including a
893 large one in SoupContentSniffer [WebKit bug 28148].
895 * Changed the behavior of SoupCookieJarSqlite to improve
896 performance. [#584522, patch from Gustavo Noronha Silva]
898 * Fixed a crash in SoupSocket that affected gupnp. [#594951,
899 patch from Olivier Crête]
901 * Fixed the type of the SOUP_METHOD_* and SOUP_URI_SCHEME_*
902 macros to be const char * rather than gpointer. [#594508]
904 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.91 to 2.27.92:
906 * Removed SoupPasswordManager from the public API until its
907 problems can be addressed. Although it is still present, you
908 need to #define a special symbol for it to be visible in the
909 header files; see #594377 for details.
911 * Fixed a bug where empty query components were dropped from
914 * Fixed "make check" to work (but warn) when building with
917 * Fixed some small documentation bugs pointed out by Dominik
918 Bylica and Lucian Langa.
920 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.90 to 2.27.91:
922 * Added SoupPasswordManager, an interface for managing
923 persistent password storage, and SoupPasswordManagerGNOME
924 (in libsoup-gnome), which implements it using gnome-keyring.
925 tests/get.c provides a minimal example of how to use it.
927 * libsoup should now notice when the server closes a
928 persistent connection, and close its side of the connection
929 sooner. This should hopefully fix the spurious "Connection
930 terminated unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK. [#578990]
932 * Fixed some problems with connection management in
933 SoupSession that could cause a session to eventually "stall"
934 and be unable to process new requests. [#592084]
936 * Fixed an infinite loop that caused 100% CPU usage if the
937 network went down at exactly the right time while there were
938 unsent messages in the queue. [#592492]
940 * Fixed a crash in SoupLogger. [#591857]
942 * Fixed the definition of soup_message_is_keepalive() for
943 HTTP/1.0 messages, to fix a problem introduced in 2.27.90
944 where some messages would load completely but never emit
947 * Fixed a crash in SoupServer introduced in 2.27.90 when
948 processing a request with no "Host" header.
950 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.5 to 2.27.90:
952 * libsoup now uses glib's GResolver rather than its own DNS
953 code. For 2.27.90, the only visible change should be that
954 internationalized domain names are now supported. [#548287]
956 * Added soup_message_disable_feature(), which allows you to
957 disable particular features (eg, cookies, proxy,
958 content-sniffing, etc) on a per-message basis. [#574773]
960 * It is now possible to implement "OPTIONS *" in a SoupServer;
961 you must explicitly register a handler for "*" in order to
964 * Ignore Content-Length on EOF-terminated responses, to match
965 other browsers and therefore cope with broken servers that
966 send the wrong length. [Patch from Benjamin Otte.]
968 * Fixed the status code when trying to fetch an https URI with
969 a non-gnutls build of libsoup. [#590464]
971 * Fixed strict-aliasing warnings introduced in 2.27.4
974 * Fixed some warnings noted by fortify [#591226] and -Wextra.
976 * libsoup now uses automake 1.11's silent-rules support by
977 default (if you are building with automake 1.11). Use
978 "./configure --disable-silent-rules" or "make V=1" to
981 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.4 to 2.27.5:
983 * Fixed a crash when a web server redirected a request to a
984 non-http URI (eg, "about:blank"). [#528882]
986 * Fixed a hang when trying to create an attachment on certain
987 bugzilla installations from epiphany. [#584645]
989 * Fixed verification of V1 TLS certificates [#589323, Patrick
992 * Fixed compile problems on Windows (in the ssl code), and on
993 Linux (when the most recent version of gtk-doc was
996 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.2 to 2.27.4:
998 * Added SoupContentSniffer and the "content-sniffed" signal on
999 SoupMessage, to do Content-Type sniffing per the HTML5 /
1000 draft-abarth-mime-sniff algorithm. [#572589, Gustavo Noronha
1003 * Updated the earlier SoupSession timeout fixes ([#574414],
1004 [#578928]) so that async connect() also times out [#588177,
1005 Mark Nauwelaerts] and SSL works on Windows again [#587910,
1008 * Fixed the behavior on a 301 response to a POST to match
1009 real-world usage rather than what the spec says. (We were
1010 doing the right thing on 302 and 303, but had missed 301.)
1013 * Changed configure so that if GNUTLS isn't found then it
1014 errors out, rather than silently building an SSL-less
1015 libsoup. Configure with --disable-ssl if you actually don't
1018 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.1 to 2.27.2:
1020 * Replaced SoupProxyResolver with SoupProxyURIResolver, which
1021 is a bit simpler, works with non-HTTP URIs (and so could be
1022 used by gvfsd-ftp) and supports proxy auth correctly.
1025 * Fixed SoupSession to not try to resolve http server
1026 hostnames when it's just going to pass the hostname off to a
1027 proxy server anyway. This fixes things on hosts that use a
1028 proxy for everything and have no working DNS config
1029 [#577532] and also makes WebKitGTK behave more like other
1030 browsers in terms of per-host connection limits (we now
1031 limit connections based on hostname rather than on IP
1034 We also no longer set the AI_CANONNAME flag when calling
1035 getaddrinfo(), which saves us a little bit of unnecessary
1036 network traffic. [Pointed out by Christophe Gillette on the
1039 * libsoup now always uses SSL 3.0 (not TLS 1.0 or 1.1) for
1040 https URIs, to work around problems with older servers that
1041 don't implement the (apparently quite confusing) TLS/SSL
1042 compatibility rules correctly. Makes a bunch of
1043 previously-inaccessible sites now accessible in WebKitGTK
1044 (notably PayPal) [#581342]. Will eventually be revisited, to
1045 first try TLS 1.1 and fall back if that fails.
1047 * Fixed Digest auth to (recent) Apple CalDAV servers.
1050 * Changed the way the SoupSession "authenticate" signal works
1051 a bit. We now never emit "authenticate" before sending a
1052 request, even if we know for sure that it's going to fail,
1053 because this makes the semantics of the authenticate handler
1054 too complicated (and because we'll only get into this
1055 situation if a previous call to the authenticate handler
1056 failed anyway). Fixes problems in WebKitGTK when you cancel
1057 a password dialog, and then later try to load the page
1058 again. [#583462, mostly figured out by Gustavo Noronha
1061 * Fixed a bug in the CRLF-vs-LF patch (#571283) that caused
1062 libsoup to fail to parse the response headers (returning
1063 SOUP_STATUS_MALFORMED) if a CR LF got split across two
1066 * Allow using PUT in soup_form_request_for_data(), to work
1067 with certain broken web APIs. [#581860, Ross Burton]. Also,
1068 fixed a problem with empty POST bodies that made some parts
1069 of gmail not work in WebKitGTK.
1071 * Applied some minor bugfixes to configure.in and autogen.sh
1072 [#583911, #583942]. Fixed configure.in to not use gcc
1073 warning options that the installed version of gcc doesn't
1074 recognize [#578851].
1076 * Added G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED and G_GNUC_PRINTF to a few
1077 methods that should have had them. [#581754, Ross Burton]
1079 Changes in libsoup from 2.26.1 to 2.27.1:
1081 * SOUP_SESSION_TIMEOUT now works properly with
1082 SoupSessionAsync [#574414] and SSL [#578928]. Added
1083 tests/timeout-test to test this.
1087 * soup_date_to_string() now handles SOUP_DATE_RFC2822
1088 [#579055, Enrico Tröger]
1090 * soup_date_new_from_string() now accepts 24:00 as a
1091 time in ISO8601 timestamps
1093 * soup_date_to_string() now coerces the date to UTC
1094 for HTTP and cookie dates, and outputs the UTC
1095 correct offset for the other date types.
1097 * Added regression tests to tests/date
1099 * soup_headers_parse() now completely ignores
1100 syntactically-incorrect headers, rather than passing them to
1101 soup_message_headers_append() and causing a g_warning.
1102 soup_message_headers_append() now also rejects 0-length
1103 header names. Updated tests/header-parsing to check this.
1106 * Fix a crash when cancelling a message from a "restarted"
1107 handler, and updated a regression test to notice the
1108 underlying cause. [#580193]
1110 * Completing the API updates for #576760 from 2.26.1,
1111 soup_message_headers_get() is now marked deprecated in favor
1112 of soup_message_headers_get_one() and _get_list().
1114 Changes in libsoup from 2.26.0 to 2.26.1:
1116 * libsoup uses libproxy for PAC and WPAD proxy resolution
1117 again. However, it arranges to do all communication with
1118 GConf itself, to ensure that libproxy doesn't call it in
1119 non-thread-safe ways. [#571527] Also, fixed a bug in
1120 SoupSessionSync when proxy resolution failed. [#574957,
1121 patch from Milan Crha].
1123 (Also fixed three SoupProxyResolverGNOME bugs since the
1124 2.26.0.9 preview release. [#578746, #578809])
1126 * SoupURI now handles unencoded spaces in URIs. In particular,
1127 redirects via Location headers with spaces in them now work.
1130 * libsoup can now deal with servers (and clients) that
1131 erroneously use LF LF instead of CR LF CR LF to separate
1132 the headers and body. [#571283]
1134 * Added soup_message_headers_get_one() and
1135 soup_message_headers_get_list(), which will eventually
1136 deprecate soup_message_headers_get(). This lets applications
1137 deal correctly with implementations that erroneously send
1138 multiple copies of single-valued headers. [#576760]
1140 * In particular, soup_message_headers_get_content_type() now
1141 ignores duplicate Content-Type headers [#576760] and also
1142 ignores syntactically-incorrect Content-Type headers.
1145 * SoupCookieJar can now store multiple cookies with the same
1146 domain and name, but different paths. [#577360]
1148 * Abnormal SSL connection closes are now treated as ordinary
1149 EOFs, for compatibility with certain sites. [#577386]
1151 * soup_header_g_string_append_param() now allows NULL values.
1154 * soup_message_headers_append() now rejects header names and
1155 values with newlines or certain other illegal data in them,
1156 rather than generating syntactically invalid headers.
1158 * Fixed a small bug in soup_date_new_from_string's ISO 8601
1159 handling [qv #578369 for g_time_val_from_iso8601].
1161 * The regression tests now work correctly on machines where
1162 "localhost" resolves to "::1" instead of "127.0.0.1".
1163 [#576583, patch from Andreas Rottmann]
1165 * Fixed warnings when a message has a network problem when
1166 many other messages are queued. [#578809]
1168 * Miscellaneous documentation fixes/clarifications.
1170 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.91 to 2.26.0:
1172 * Temporarily disable libproxy support to work around a bug in
1173 its gnome plugin that causes gvfsd-http (and probably
1174 eventually other apps) to crash. [#571527]. For now,
1175 SoupProxyResolverGNOME uses only GConf. To be fixed in
1178 * Fixed a bug that showed up in WebKit, where if many messages
1179 were queued all at once to a server that doesn't support
1180 persistent connections, some of the requests will get lost.
1181 #574365, reported by Xan Lopez.
1183 * Fixed SoupServer to support using SOUP_ENCODING_EOF, so you
1184 can stream responses of unknown length to HTTP/1.0 clients.
1185 [#572153]. Added a regression test for this, and for chunked
1186 and Content-Length-based streaming.
1188 * Fixed several bugs that prevented SoupCookieJarSqlite from
1189 working. [#572409, patch from Xan Lopez]
1191 * Added G_{BEGIN,END}_DECLS guards to public headers that were
1192 missing it. (Xan Lopez)
1194 * Misc gtk-doc improvements
1196 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.5 to 2.25.91:
1198 * Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGNOME when the proxy
1199 requires authentication. (This does not make proxy
1200 authentication *work* yet, it just makes it not crash.)
1202 * Updated documentation
1204 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.4 to 2.25.5:
1206 * SoupProxyResolverGConf (which was incomplete) is gone, and
1207 libsoup-gnome now requires libproxy, which is now officially
1208 an external dependency of GNOME.
1210 * Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJar that was making it send
1211 "Cookie: (null)" when it had no cookies for a site, which
1212 confused some web servers (WebKit bug 23240).
1214 * Fixed a bug with using SOUP_MEMORY_TEMPORARY buffers and
1215 soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE). (Part of WebKit bug
1216 18343, noticed by Gustavo Noronha Silva.)
1218 * Fixed the build with non-gcc compilers
1220 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.3 to 2.25.4:
1222 * Added soup_session_get_feature() and
1223 soup_session_get_features(), to query the features currently
1224 available in a session (which is needed by the patch in
1225 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22624)
1227 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.2 to 2.25.3:
1229 * Fixed a crash when using both cookies and a proxy. [#562191,
1232 * Fixed soup_form_decode() to correctly handle forms with
1233 URI-encoded parameter names [#563302, Evan Nemerson] and
1234 added a regression test.
1236 * Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGConf. [#563145]
1238 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.1 to 2.25.2:
1240 * Fixed client behavior when presented with multiple auth
1241 types to choose the *strongest* auth type (eg, Digest)
1242 rather than the *weakest* one [#562339, Pontus Oldberg].
1243 Added a regression test for this.
1245 * Moved libsoup-gnome headers to a different directory to make
1246 it easier to split libsoup and libsoup-gnome into separate
1247 packages, and to ensure that things that only want to be
1248 looking at plain libsoup headers (like gir-repository) don't
1249 accidentally see the libsoup-gnome ones.
1251 * Some minor doc fixes
1253 * Fixed libsoup-gnome linking with --as-needed. [#559342]
1255 Changes in libsoup from 2.24.1 to 2.25.1:
1257 libsoup 2.25.1 introduces a new library, libsoup-gnome, which
1258 will be used for features which are important to GNOME apps,
1259 but which require GNOME-specific libraries that non-GNOME apps
1260 may not want to add dependencies on.
1262 In 2.25.1, libsoup-gnome contains:
1264 * SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME, a SoupSessionFeature
1265 type that can be added to a SoupSession to provide
1266 automatic proxy handling via the GConf proxy keys. (See
1267 below) The default implementation uses libproxy, which
1268 also handles WPAD, PAC, etc, but if libproxy is not
1269 available it will use GConf directly, supporting only
1270 the basic HTTP proxy functionality.
1272 * SoupCookieJarSqlite, a SoupSessionFeature that handles
1273 cookies and stores them in a Firefox 3-compatible sqlite
1274 file. (This is not actually a "GNOME-specific" feature,
1275 but I didn't want to make libsoup itself depend on
1276 sqlite, and I didn't want to make the dependency
1277 optional. This might change before 2.26.)
1279 * SOUP_TYPE_GNOME_FEATURES_2_26: a SoupSessionFeature type
1280 that can be added to a SoupSession to add all
1281 GNOME-integration features that are available for 2.26;
1282 as of 2.25.1, this is just the GNOME proxy resolver, but
1283 by 2.26.0 it may also include gnome-keyring support and
1284 possibly other features.
1286 Applications/libraries that are currently doing GConf proxy
1287 lookup by hand can be updated as follows:
1289 * Remove all of the existing code that listens to the
1290 GConf keys and sets SOUP_SESSION_PROXY_URI
1292 * Change the configure check to require
1293 "libsoup-gnome-2.4 >= 2.25.1" instead of "libsoup-2.4"
1295 * #include <libsoup/soup-gnome.h>
1297 * After creating your SoupSession, do:
1299 soup_session_add_feature_by_type (session, SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME);
1301 (Or alternatively, use SOUP_SESSION_ADD_FEATURE_BY_TYPE
1302 with soup_session_async_new_with_options() or
1303 soup_session_sync_new_with_options().)
1306 Other new features and bug fixes in 2.25.1 include:
1308 * SoupCookieJarText, like SoupCookieJarSqlite, but using the
1309 old-style cookies.txt format, and in the base libsoup rather
1312 * Various bugfixes to SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar to fix the
1313 problems with cookies not working on certain sites.
1315 * The new SoupMultipart type provides support for multipart
1316 MIME bodies, and soup-form now includes several methods for
1317 generating and parsing multipart form data and file uploads.
1319 * SoupMessageHeaders now has methods for easy handling of the
1320 Content-Type, Content-Disposition, Range, and Content-Range
1321 headers. The Content-Disposition handling recognizes
1322 RFC2231-encoded UTF-8 filenames.
1324 * SoupServer now automatically handles partial GET requests;
1325 if your server returns SOUP_STATUS_OK in response to a
1326 partial GET, libsoup will automatically convert it to a
1327 SOUP_STATUS_PARTIAL_CONTENT response with only the requested
1330 Thanks to Xan Lopez and Diego Escalante Urrelo for their work
1331 on SoupCookie, SoupCookieJar, SoupCookieJarText, and
1332 SoupCookieJarSqlite.
1334 Changes in libsoup from 2.24.0.1 to 2.24.1:
1336 * Fixed a crash when unreffing the session from a
1337 soup_session_queue_message() callback [#533473], and added
1338 regression test. In particular, this fixes a crash in
1339 seahorse when trying to connect to a non-responsive
1342 * Fixed an infinite loop when giving a bad password to a site
1343 that uses non-standard capitalization in the
1344 WWW-Authenticate header (eg, gmail.com) [#536285].
1346 * Fixed a leak in SoupSessionAsync when using a non-default
1347 GMainContext. [addendum to #498509, Arnout Vandecappelle]
1348 Added additional code to the regression tests to make sure
1349 sessions and servers do not get leaked.
1351 * Fixed a leak in the XML-RPC code
1353 * Compile fixes for "gcc -pedantic" [#553976, Sander Dijkhuis]
1354 and -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED / -DG_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES
1355 [#557072, Cosimo Cecchi]
1357 * Patched xmlrpc-test to accept the incorrect response to
1358 test_echo() that php-xmlrpc gives when it's built against
1359 libxml2 >= 2.7.1 (qv http://bugs.php.net/45996), so that
1360 I can "make distcheck"...
1362 * Updated generated documentation
1364 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.92 to 2.24.0.1:
1366 * Reverted part of the fix for #528882, which caused the DAAP
1367 plugin in rhythmbox to crash. [#553466]
1369 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.91 to 2.23.92:
1371 * Fixed the handling of a 302 response to a HEAD request,
1372 which should NOT be treated like a 303 response. [#551190,
1375 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.6 to 2.23.91:
1377 * Fixed a crash in gvfs [#528882], though there is still an
1378 unknown bug there. As part of this fix, libsoup will now
1379 return an error if you try to do an operation on a non-HTTP
1380 URI. (Previously it was just treating any URI scheme except
1383 * Added soup_date_to_timeval() for gvfs. [#549006, patch from
1386 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.1 to 2.23.6:
1388 * Fixed use of g_idle_add() so that heavy I/O won't end up
1389 blocking libsoup callbacks. [#536676, Benjamin Otte]
1391 * Allow the caller to override the Host header. [#539803, Marc
1394 * Properly handle responses larger than 4G. [#539861, Peter
1397 * Fixed the build when using certain LDFLAGS [#541506, Götz
1400 * Fixed a small bug in Digest auth handling. [#544681, Mads
1403 * Fixed multiple Windows bugs [Tor Lillqvist]
1405 Changes in libsoup from 2.4.1 to 2.23.1:
1407 * This is the first unstable release leading up to GNOME 2.24.
1408 Bumped the libsoup version number up to 2.23.x to match the
1409 GNOME version; note that the API version is still "2.4",
1410 meaning in particular that you still call it "libsoup-2.4"
1411 when using pkg-config.
1413 * Added SoupSessionFeature, an interface type that will be
1414 used for several new features. Ported SoupLogger and
1415 SoupAuthManager to use it.
1417 * Added SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar. This API is already
1418 being used in Epiphany, via WebKit, but it is not yet
1421 * Fixed GnuTLS support on Win32. [#528752, Marc Maurer]
1423 Changes in libsoup from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1:
1425 * Fixed SoupMessage to not downgrade to HTTP/1.0 for the
1426 second attempt when it receives an HTTP/1.0 redirect or 401.
1427 [#521848, Tommu Komulainen]
1429 * Fixed Host: header syntax when the host is an IPv6 address
1432 * Fixed SoupSession to not emit "authenticate" multiple times
1433 for messages that have been requeued. [#522601, Tommi
1434 Komulainen]. Also added two new signals to SoupSession,
1435 request-queued and request-unqueued, to help simplify
1436 certain session-helpers and avoid bugs like this in the
1439 * Fixed soup_server_pause_message() to actually work (rather
1440 than *un*pausing the message).
1442 * Added a property SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT that can be used
1443 to set a timeout after which idle connections will
1444 automatically be closed. [#518214, Jorn Baayen]
1446 * Implemented RFC 2069-style Digest auth, and fixed SoupAuth
1447 to compare auth scheme names case-insensitively, to fix
1448 authentication against Apple's calendar server. [#498484]
1450 * Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDomainDigest if the client provided
1451 an unrecognized username. [pointed out by Curtis Magyar on
1454 * Fixed a few SoupDate bugs. (In particular, it was outputting
1455 the wrong day of the week when stringifying dates.)
1457 * Improved the cleanup of idle connections, to fix slow load
1458 times with the libsoup backend of WebKit.
1460 * Added a new SoupMessage signal "wrote-body-data" that can be
1461 used for progress information when sending a large request
1462 body. Also allow providing the request body in multiple
1463 chunks even when using Content-Length encoding. [#525101,
1466 * libsoup now ignores SIGPIPE globally, instead of
1467 un-thread-safe-ly ignoring it only around network writes. In
1468 particular, this means it is ignored when the SSL code needs
1469 to unexpectedly do a write when we asked it to do a read.
1470 [#524397, Curtis Magyar]
1472 * The discard-body-chunks-once-they're-no-longer-needed
1473 behavior, confusingly called SOUP_MESSAGE_OVERWRITE_CHUNKS,
1474 is now controlled by a SoupMessageBody method
1475 (soup_message_body_set_accumulate()), and can be applied to
1476 either the request body or the response body.
1477 (OVERWRITE_CHUNKS is still available for backward
1478 compatibility.) [#522146, Christian Kellner]
1480 * The DNS cache no longer caches "no such host" results, since
1481 some name servers lie to clients outside their firewall,
1482 which could then cause problems for laptops moved between
1483 networks. [#523269, Jörgen Scheibengruber]
1485 * Added some new regression tests, fixed some small bugs in
1488 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.4 to 2.4.0:
1490 * Fixed a small memory leak in SoupSession. [#518798, Wouter
1493 * Minor fixes to redirect behavior; PROPFINDs can now be
1494 automatically redirected (pointed out by Christian Kellner),
1495 and 302 is treated like 307, not 303. Also fixed to make
1496 sure that redirect-test actually gets run by "make check".
1498 * The SoupSocket I/O methods now set nread/nwrote even on
1499 error. [Benjamin Otte]
1501 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.2 to 2.3.4:
1503 * The documentation should be accessible from devhelp again
1504 [#518384, Mart Raudsepp]. (Also fixed another
1505 documentation-generation bug that affected builds from svn,
1506 but not the 2.3.2 tarball for some reason. [#518317,
1509 * Fixed dependencies in libsoup-2.4.pc file [#517631,
1512 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.0.1 to 2.3.2:
1514 API changes / Behavior changes:
1516 * soup_server_add_auth_domain() now refs the auth domain when
1517 adding it. (soup_server_remove_auth_domain() already
1518 unreffed it.) This means existing applications using
1519 SoupAuthDomain will now have a small memory leak. Those
1520 applications should update their libsoup-2.4 requirement to
1521 ">= 2.3.2" at some point before the final GNOME 2.22.0
1522 release, and then fix the code to unref the auth domain
1523 after adding it to the server.
1525 * SoupSession's automatic redirect-handling behavior now obeys
1526 RFC 2616 more closely. In particular, status codes 300 and
1527 304 are no longer mistakenly considered redirects; POSTs
1528 that receive 303 are now redirected into GETs; and POSTs
1529 that receive 301, 302, or 307 are now not redirected.
1531 Applications that were using the SOUP_MESSAGE_NO_REDIRECT
1532 flag to prevent libsoup from redirecting POSTs incorrectly
1533 before should now be able to remove that if they depend on
1534 libsoup-2.4 >= 2.3.2.
1538 * Added a SOUP_SESSION_USER_AGENT property to SoupSession, and
1539 SOUP_SERVER_SERVER_HEADER to SoupServer, to support
1540 automatically adding "User-Agent" and "Server" headers to
1541 messages. (The default behavior is to do nothing, as
1544 * Added several new methods to soup-forms.h. Applications that
1545 are encoding a fixed set of form fields can now just pass
1546 them to soup_form_encode(), rather than needing to construct
1547 a GHashTable or GData list. (Likewise, the new
1548 soup_uri_set_query_from_fields() behaves similarly for
1549 directly updating a URI with form data.) There are also now
1550 soup_form_request_new() and other related methods, to
1551 directly create a GET or POST SoupMessage for submitting a
1554 The original soup_form_* methods have all been renamed,
1555 although #defines exist for backward compatibility.
1557 * Added soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() and
1558 soup_buffer_new_with_owner(), to give applications more
1559 control over memory usage/copying when doing streaming HTTP.
1560 [Wouter Cloetens, #513810].
1562 * Added several new methods to soup-value-utils.h for working
1563 with multiple array or hash table values at once:
1564 soup_value_hash_new_with_vals(),
1565 soup_value_hash_insert_vals(),
1566 soup_value_hash_lookup_vals(),
1567 soup_value_array_new_with_vals(), and
1568 soup_value_array_append_vals().
1570 This helps to simplify XML-RPC calls that send or receive
1573 * Added soup_date_to_time_t().
1575 * Added SoupMessageHeadersIterator, an iterator type for
1576 SoupMessageHeaders that can be used instead of
1577 soup_message_headers_foreach().
1581 * Fixed a crash-when-idle in evolution-exchange [#437835] and
1582 rhythmbox [#506552].
1584 * Added the API version to the gtk-doc installation dir, to
1585 prevent parallel-installation problems with libsoup 2.2 and
1586 2.4. [#512810, Daniel Gryniewicz].
1588 * Fixed tests/query-test to compile correctly on Solaris.
1589 [#513602, patch from Jeff Cai]
1591 * Fixed some other minor HTTP conformance issues.
1595 * Although not present in the release tarball, there are now
1596 experimental python bindings for libsoup in GNOME subversion
1597 (in the python/ subdirectory of libsoup trunk). These are
1598 not yet stable (and are not built by default or installed
1599 even when building from svn), but comments on them are
1600 welcome at libsoup-list@gnome.org
1602 Changes in libsoup from the 2.2 series to 2.3.0.1:
1604 libsoup 2.3.0 is the first beta release of the libsoup 2.4
1605 series. It is an API break from the earlier 2.2 series that
1606 fixes various bugs and API warts and lays the groundwork for
1607 language bindings and various new features in upcoming
1610 (2.3.0.1 is identical to the 2.3.0 release in terms of code,
1611 but includes this updated NEWS file which was accidentally
1612 left out of the 2.3.0 tarball.)
1614 http://library.gnome.org/devel/libsoup/unstable/libsoup-porting-2.2-2.4.html
1615 goes over the API changes in detail. If you have questions not
1616 answered by the porting document, please send mail to
1617 libsoup-list@gnome.org.
1619 Specific user-reported bugs fixed in this release:
1621 * SoupURI now correctly handles URIs with complex encoded
1622 queries [#266516, Jean-Yves Lefort]
1624 * It is now possible for a SoupServer to use Digest auth
1625 without needing to have the cleartext password available.
1626 [#347108, Anas Nashif]
1628 * Digest authentication now properly handles "stale=true" and
1629 "nextnonce=..." [#471380, Jari Urpalainen]
1631 * SoupServer is now subclassible [#491653, Mathias Hasselmann]
1633 * soup_server_run_async and soup_server_quit no longer ref and
1634 unref the server, as that doesn't match ordinary GObject
1635 conventions [#494128, Mathias Hasselmann]
1637 * The test programs no longer use a symbol name that conflicts
1638 with Cygwin [#501631, Cygwin Ports Maintainer]
1640 * libsoup can now handle the not-quite-HTTP responses returned
1641 by Shoutcast servers [#502325, Wouter Cloetens]
1643 * If you use libsoup while disconnected from the network, it
1644 no longer caches the failed DNS results [#508593, Bradley
1647 Items from http://live.gnome.org/LibSoup/ToDo fixed:
1649 * "Expect: 100-continue" processing now works correctly on
1650 both client and server.
1652 * SoupSessions are no longer leaked
1654 * The XML-RPC API is improved. The SOAP API is gone...
1656 * Added utility functions for HTML form handling
1658 * Improved message header handling
1660 * SoupServer now automatically adds a "Date" header
1664 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.103 to 2.2.104:
1666 * soup_message_io_pause() and soup_message_io_pause() are now
1667 allowed for client messages (and in particular, they don't
1668 mess up when called from the "got_chunk" callback).
1669 [#452280, Marco Barisione]
1671 * Fixed some bugs in SOUP_SESSION_ASYNC_CONTEXT support that
1672 would cause parts of an operation to run in the default
1673 context rather than the session's context. Also fixed some
1674 leaks and added a regression test. [#498509, Wouter
1677 * There is a new test/sample program, tests/pull-api.c,
1678 showing how to implement a pull API using SoupSessionAsync.
1679 (This depends on the fixes for #452280 and #498509, so it
1680 won't work with older versions of libsoup.)
1682 * Discovered "valgrind --leak-resolution=med" and fixed some
1685 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.102 to 2.2.103:
1687 * Fix memory corruption in SoupSessionAsync that caused
1688 rhythmbox to crash. [#484988, patch from Rob Bradford]
1690 * Fix socket refcounting in SoupServer to fix warnings /
1691 possible crash. [#459896, Emanuele Aina]
1693 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.101 to 2.2.102:
1695 * Unbreak the build when building without SSL. Not that you
1696 should be building without SSL anyway, but... (reported by
1699 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.100 to 2.2.101:
1701 * Fix build on cygwin [384498]
1703 * Fix SSL rehandshaking on synchronous sockets [415402, Jacob
1704 Berkman] and add a regression test for it.
1706 * Fix two bugs in https tunnels over proxies that require
1707 authentication (noticed by Varadhan), and add a regression
1710 * Ensure that if you queue multiple messages at once to an
1711 http server that requires authentication but that you
1712 haven't authenticated to yet, that all of the messages get
1713 properly authenticated [271540, James Willcox]. And add a
1714 regression test for it.
1716 * Fix NTLM authentication, which got broken by the previous
1717 fix. [471389, Varadhan]. Add a basic NTLM regression test
1718 that doesn't really test the crypto/encoding parts, but at
1719 least makes sure that the message flow is correct.
1721 * Allow trailing whitespace after HTTP version in
1722 Response-Line, for compatibility with broken servers
1723 [475169, Stephane Loeuillet]. Add that case to the
1724 header-parsing regression test.
1726 * Fix crash when the session's "authenticate" handler returns
1727 a username and no password when using NTLM. [480987, Wendell
1730 * Use "new" glib base64 and iso8601 methods rather than
1731 duplicating them. [337010, patch from Emmanuele Bassi].
1733 * Implement soup_session_queue_message() for SoupSessionSync.
1735 * Add G_BEGIN_DECLS / G_END_DECLS to all headers that were
1736 missing them. [438776, patch from Jonathon Jongsma].
1738 * Fix broken definition of SOUP_IS_MESSAGE_FILTER_CLASS. Noted
1739 by "cascardo" on libsoup-list.
1741 * Remove documentation of non-public MD5 methods [440092,
1742 Jonathon Jongsma]. Removed a mysterious half-sentence in the
1743 SoupMessage docs [458116, Marco Barisione].
1745 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.99 to 2.2.100:
1747 * Fixed soup_headers_parse_status_line() so WebDAV response
1748 parsing will work again. [406997]
1750 * Fixed a bug in the header-parsing regression test that
1751 caused the test to fail sometimes, even though the actual
1752 header-parsing code was fine.
1754 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.98 to 2.2.99:
1756 * Fixed header parsing, including a crash in SoupServer with
1757 certain malformed requests [391970].
1759 * Fixed redirection to other hosts with SoupSessionAsync.
1762 * Fixed a small memory leak pointed out by Chris Austin.
1764 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.97 to 2.2.98:
1766 * The XML-RPC code now correctly interprets <value>foo</value>
1767 as meaning the same thing as
1768 <value><string>foo</string></value>. [364490] Pointed out by
1771 * Memory leak fixes from Andrew W. Nosenko.
1773 * A few symbols that should have been static before now are.
1774 [376387] Patch from Matthias Clasen.
1776 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.96 to 2.2.97:
1778 * Fixed SOAP and XML-RPC code to handle whitespace and
1779 comments in the XML better. (Based on a patch from Andrew W.
1782 * Fixed lots of typecasting/constness warnings in the code
1783 (mostly via a patch from Andrew W. Nosenko)
1785 * Fixed build on Cygwin [321827]
1787 * Fixed libsoup-2.2.pc fields [343340] and make it get
1788 uninstalled correctly [356809]. (Mikhail Zabaluev and
1791 * Fixed some small leaks in SoupServer pointed out by Paolo
1794 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.95.1 to 2.2.96:
1796 * SoupServer now works even if you don't explicitly set an
1797 encoding for the response. (In particular, the automatic 404
1798 if you request a path with no handlers now works. Problem
1799 pointed out by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn.)
1801 * WWW-Authenticate and Proxy-Authenticate responses with no
1802 realm parameter are now ignored, as per RFC 2617, fixing a
1803 crash pointed out by Nate Nielsen.
1805 * Added soup_xmlrpc_message_from_string(), from Fernando
1808 * simple-httpd and "get" now support HEAD
1810 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.94 to 2.2.95.1:
1812 * Even more fixes to XML-RPC, found by the new XML-RPC
1813 regression test. This includes some API changes that I don't
1814 feel guilty about, because the code totally didn't work at
1817 * Fixed a bug in soup_mktime_utc()
1819 * (2.2.95 was identical to 2.2.95.1. The only difference is
1820 that the shared library version was belatedly bumped from
1821 8.2.0 to 8.3.0 to reflect the API "additions")
1823 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.93 to 2.2.94:
1825 * Various fixes to the XML-RPC code (which apparently had not
1826 actually ever worked before) from Brent Smith. [343973,
1829 * Added client and server API tutorials to the docs
1831 * auth-test now uses a local Apache 2.2 install, if possible,
1832 rather than depending on files that used to be on an old
1833 Ximian web server but haven't been anywhere for a long time.
1836 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.92 to 2.2.93:
1838 * Fixed outgoing data corruption caused when SoupServer
1839 started writing out a response a second time after already
1840 having started once. [334469]. Also fixed 342640 and another
1841 bug caused by the workaround for 334469 in 2.2.92. Based on
1842 patches and analysis from William Jon McCann and Armin
1845 * Fixed a deadlock when changing a session's proxy URI.
1846 [309867 / bnc 174255, based on a patch by Veerapuram
1849 * Fixed https-via-proxies in the synchronous case. [bnc 174255]
1851 * Fixed a crash in evolution-exchange [342545, fix based on an
1852 analysis by Wang Xin].
1854 * Fixed simple-proxy to not crash at startup. Oops. (Alex
1857 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.91 to 2.2.92:
1859 * Fixed server-side digest auth to return a valid "algorithm"
1860 value and client-side to not crash if it sees an invalid one
1863 * Fixed the Request-Line parsing code to not hardcode a
1864 maximum URI length (to allow very long DAAP requests from
1865 iTunes in Rhythmbox). [335040]
1867 * Fixed some warnings (signed/unsigned mismatch).
1869 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.7 to 2.2.91:
1871 * (The large version number bump is because there was an
1872 internal 2.2.90 release for SUSE 10.1 alphas, which was
1873 supposed to be intermediate between 2.2.7 and 2.4.0. But
1874 2.4.0 didn't end up happening, and I don't want to regress
1875 the version number at this point.)
1877 * SoupSession, SoupServer, SoupConnection, SoupSocket, and
1878 SoupAddress now have an "async-context" property that allows
1879 you to use the async API in a non-default GMainContext.
1880 [Based on patches from Armin Bauer and Jürg Billeter.]
1882 * SoupSession, SoupConnection, and SoupSocket now have a
1883 "timeout" property to stop synchronous sockets from hanging
1884 forever if the remote end is unresponsive (from Varadhan).
1886 * Fixed some bugs in soup_date_iso8601_parse(). [324671, from
1889 * More Windows build fixes from Tor.
1891 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6.1 to 2.2.7:
1893 * Fixed a crash when using NTLM connections [316313, probably
1894 also 318252]. (Also 321208, which was a bug introduced in
1895 the original fix for 316313.)
1897 * Fixed a bug that could cause soup to suck up all available
1898 CPU when a connection to a SoupServer was dropped by the
1899 other side [319305, patch from Jonathan Matthew]
1901 * Fixed the creation of struct elements in XMLRPC messages
1902 [321362, patch from Sebastian Bauer]
1904 * Plugged a small memory leak in SoupSocket (from Wang Xin).
1906 * Fixed two compile problems, a gccism [320349, patch from
1907 Roland Illig], and a strict-aliasing warning from gcc 4.1.
1909 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6 to 2.2.6.1:
1911 * Fixed a crash when using SoupSoapMessage
1913 Changes from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6:
1915 * Fixed a crash when canceling a message (from Tambet Ingo)
1917 * Fixed a bug where a connection could be leaked forever in
1918 some circumstances if a request got a 30x, 401, or 407
1919 response, eventually causing a hang when the session hit its
1920 maximum connection limit. (Dan/Tambet)
1922 * Fixed a memory leak. (Tambet)
1924 * Fixed a bug that would sometimes show up when connecting to
1925 a server on localhost [#312540]
1927 * Added some API to SoupServer and SoupSocket to help fix a
1928 long-standing rcd bug.
1930 Changes from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5:
1932 * Win32 support (from Tor Lillqvist)
1934 * Up-to-date API documentation pretty much everywhere
1936 * Basic XMLRPC support (from Mariano Suarez-Alvarez, Fernando
1937 Herrera, and Jeff Bailey)
1939 * New HTTP timestamp-manipulation methods soup_date_parse,
1940 soup_date_generate, and soup_date_iso8601_parse.
1942 * SoupSession now handles relative URLs in the Location header
1943 (in violation of RFC 2616, but in line with how some servers
1946 Changes from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4:
1948 * Fixed a problem with NTLM authentication against
1949 multi-domain servers. [306877]
1951 * Fixed DNS lookups on Solaris. [254551, 268389]
1953 Changes from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3:
1955 * Now compiles against gnutls 1.2.0 [257811]
1957 * Fixed a bug that could result in 100% CPU usage if an SSL
1958 server closed the connection uncleanly. [273352]
1960 Changes from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2:
1962 * The SSL validation fix from 2.2.1 [264414] is now completely
1963 fixed. (Part of the fix didn't actually make it into 2.2.1)
1965 * HTTPS certificate validation now works when using an HTTP
1968 * HTTP proxy code deals better with proxies that try to make
1969 the user do HTML-form-based authentication. [268531]
1971 * 64-bit fixes for NTLM auth code. [270323, from Michael
1974 Changes from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1:
1976 * Updated for a libgcrypt API change between 1.1.9x and 1.2.x
1977 that caused a crash at runtime if you compiled against
1980 * SSL certificate validation failure should now always result
1981 in a status of SOUP_STATUS_SSL_FAILED, rather than getting
1982 turned into SOUP_STATUS_IO_ERROR. [264414]
1985 Changes in libsoup from the 2.0 series (1.99.x versions) to 2.2:
1987 * Most of the libsoup datatypes are now GObjects. (SoupUri
1988 is currently an exception to this.)
1990 * SoupMessage now emits signals at various stages of
1991 processing. (Eg, "wrote_body", "got_headers".) (You
1992 can also still use soup_message_add_*handler().)
1994 * SoupContexts are gone; soup_message_new() now takes a URI
1997 * All formerly global state is now maintained by the
1998 SoupSession object. (This includes the connection pool,
1999 proxy server, cached authentication information, SSL
2002 * You can create a SoupSessionAsync (for 2.0-like
2003 behavior) or SoupSessionSync (for blocking,
2006 * You can add SoupMessageFilter objects to a session
2007 to have certain processing automatically performed
2008 on every message sent via that session. (Eg, setting
2011 * NTLM authentication is no longer supported by
2012 default. You must enable it by setting the
2013 SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM flag on the session.
2015 * The preferred method of handling authentication is
2016 now via the "authenticate" and "reauthenticate"
2017 signals on SoupSession. (The old style, of encoding
2018 the user and password information into the url is
2019 also still supported.)
2021 * The SOUP_ERROR_* values are now SOUP_STATUS_* (so that we
2022 don't have "SOUP_ERROR_OK" and the like).
2024 * SOUP_MESSAGE_IS_ERROR() is gone, since some cases
2025 want to include 3xx responses and some don't.
2027 * SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE and
2028 SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE_PROXY are now gone,
2029 since they didn't carry any information that
2030 SOUP_STATUS_UNAUTHORIZED and
2031 SOUP_STATUS_PROXY_UNAUTHORIZED don't.
2033 * DNS errors now show up as the new status code
2034 SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than being mixed in
2035 with SOUP_ERROR_CANT_CONNECT.
2037 * Minimal SOAP support has been added back, via
2038 SoupSoapMessage/SoupSoapResponse
2040 * The HTTP I/O state machine was completely rewritten, fixing
2041 numerous crashes, leaks, and protocol errors.
2043 * SoupUri now conforms to RFC 2396. Mostly.
2045 * Various test programs have been added under tests/
2049 * Support for OpenSSL (which was horribly buggy) and
2050 Mozilla NSS (which was never finished). We only
2051 support GNUTLS for SSL now.
2055 * CGI support in SoupServer
