1 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.4 to 2.41.5:
3 * Reverted the change to SoupURI's password handling from
4 2.41.4, since it turns out to have broken some things.
7 * Avoid a g_return_if_fail() when loading
8 SoupSession:ssl-ca-file fails. [#691930, Guillaume
11 * Fixed a bug in SoupBodyInputStream that caused redirects in
12 WebKitGTK to hang. [#692026, Sergio]
14 * Updated translations:
15 Belarusian, Chinese (traditional), German, Italian,
16 Norwegian bokmål, Serbian, Uyghur
18 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.3 to 2.41.4:
20 * Lots of docs fixes, including catching up with some (but not
21 all!) of the API additions and deprecations, and a new
22 chapter with hints on porting from
23 SoupSessionAsync/SoupSessionSync to the new-and-improved
26 * The plain SoupSession type now supports
27 soup_session_queue_message() (with SoupSessionAsync
28 semantics) and soup_session_send_message() (with
29 SoupSessionSync semantics), and there are now
30 soup_session_new() and soup_session_new_with_options().
32 * The mirroring of the SoupMessage API onto SoupRequestHTTP,
33 added in 2.41.3, has been reverted. However, new APIs
34 soup_session_send() and soup_session_send_async() have been
35 added that let you use the GInputStream-based API with
36 SoupMessages rather than SoupRequest, so if you're doing
37 HTTP-specific stuff, you can just use that instead.
39 * soup_message_get_https_status() now returns the certificate
40 and flags for unsuccessful https connections as well as
41 successful ones. [#690176]
43 * Fixed a deadlock when calling soup_session_abort() on a
44 SoupSessionSync in some cases. [#691399]
46 * Internal SoupCache rewrites/improvements [#682112, Sergio]
48 * Plugged a memory leak in SoupCache [#690382, Sudarsana
49 Nagineni] and one in SoupAuthDigest [#690142]
51 * LIBSOUP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED has been renamed to
52 SOUP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, but that's just to keep gtk-doc
53 happy, and you shouldn't use it. You should use
54 SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED instead.
56 * Fixed the samba-windbind-based NTLM support, which appears
57 to have been broken before.
59 * SoupAuthManager is now a public class (so you can remove it
60 as a feature from a session, or disable it for a particular
61 message). It also has a new method
62 soup_auto_manager_use_auth(), which can be used to "preload"
63 authentication for a host so that libsoup will use
64 authentication on the very first request.
66 * SoupURI now treats "http://user@example.com" as having a
67 password of "" rather than NULL, since a NULL password would
68 not be valid for any known HTTP auth type.
70 * build: libsoup now uses autoreconf instead of
71 gnome-autogen.sh, and no longer uses AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT
74 * Updated translations:
75 Assamese, Bulgarian, Estonian, Friulian, Galician, Hebrew,
76 Polish, Slovenian, Spanish
78 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.2 to 2.41.3 (codename: "I Left My
79 Deprecated APIs in A Coruña"):
81 * BUILD DEPENDENCY CHANGES: libsoup-gnome no longer depends on
82 libgnome-keyring, and the sqlite3 dependency has been moved
83 from libsoup-gnome to libsoup proper. (See below).
86 * SoupRequest is now stable API. SoupRequester, however, is
87 deprecated. Instead you can now call soup_session_request()
88 or soup_session_request_uri() to create a SoupRequest.
90 Some documentation has been updated to reflect this, but
91 much more still needs to be (in particular the "Client-side
94 * SoupRequestHTTP now has a number of fields and methods that
95 mirror the SoupMessage data, so you don't have to use
96 soup_request_http_get_message() in many cases. On the flip
97 side, there is also now soup_message_get_request(). And you
98 can create a SoupRequestHTTP directly (and override its
99 request method) by using soup_session_request_http() or
100 soup_session_request_http_uri()).
102 * soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() is now deprecated; apps
103 that want to do streaming reads should just use SoupRequest,
104 which is vastly more sane.
107 * SoupPasswordManager is now deprecated, and
108 SoupPasswordManagerGNOME is now a no-op (and libsoup-gnome
109 no longer links against libgnome-keyring). [#594377, #679866]
111 * SoupCookieJarSqlite is now deprecated in favor of
112 SoupCookieJarDB, which is exactly the same thing except that
113 it's in libsoup itself rather than being in libsoup-gnome
114 (something that many people have requested). This means that
115 libsoup now requires sqlite3... if this offends you horribly
116 then you have a few months to speak up...
118 * SoupProxyResolverGNOME is now deprecated; there hasn't been
119 any real reason to use it since SoupProxyResolverDefault was
122 * As a result of the last three items, libsoup-gnome now
123 consists entirely of deprecated APIs, and there is no reason
124 you should use it any more (though packagers need to keep
125 building it, for backward compatibility).
128 * SoupSession is no longer an abstract class, and you can
129 create a plain SoupSession, which behaves in a more
130 traditionally-gio-like way (allowing a mix of sync and async
131 methods, etc). This "plain" SoupSession also has more sane
132 default values of certain properties, and has certain
133 SoupSessionFeatures built in.
135 This will eventually replace SoupSessionAsync and
136 SoupSessionSync completely, but most of the documentation
137 hasn't yet been updated at this point...
139 This change involved merging the majority of the
140 SoupSessionAsync and SoupSessionSync code into SoupSession,
141 getting rid of lots of redundancy in the process. There may
142 be some bug fallout from this (probably on the
143 SoupSessionSync side, since WebKit's tests tend to shake out
144 all SoupSessionAsync bugs). However, this should help to
145 avoid SoupSessionSync-only bugs in the future, since much
146 more of the code is now shared.
149 * Usernames and passwords passed into SoupSession a URI will
150 now be cleared after they're used, so that if they are
151 wrong, the authenticate signal will be emitted on the next
152 round. [#689673, Martin Robinson]
154 * SoupURI now leaves "%00" in URIs as-is, rather than decoding
155 it to "\0", which was not intended and is never useful.
157 * Fixed a bug in SoupBodyOutputStream that could cause libsoup
158 to sometimes use blocking I/O rather than non-blocking when
159 writing chunked message bodies. [#688974, Milan Plzik]
161 * Fixed a bug in SoupFilterInputStream that could cause some
162 non-blocking reads to suck up CPU while waiting for the
163 network. (This was noticed with multipart/x-mixed-replace
164 processing; it's not clear if it affected anything else.)
167 * tests: misc small fixes
170 * New/updated translations:
171 Assamese, Galician, Japanese, Odia, Polish, Spanish
173 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.1 to 2.41.2:
175 * libsoup-2.4.so and libsoup-gnome-2.4.so now only export the
176 symbols that are part of the public API. (Plus, temporarily,
177 one additional symbol, soup_message_io_cleanup, which is
178 used by gvfs and possibly a few other modules, even though
179 it shouldn't be. If you copied soup-input-stream.c from
180 gvfs, you should port your code to use SoupRequest instead.)
183 * Added SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED / SOUP_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
184 macros like the corresponding glib ones, to allow libsoup
185 users to request per-version deprecation/availability
188 * Fixed a crash caused by a race condition in SoupSessionSync,
189 and reorganized some code to avoid other possible similar
190 race conditions. [#684238, Dan]
192 * Fixed a crash when a DNS resolution failed, caused by a bug
193 in the GTask porting in 2.41.1. [#688330, Milan Crha]
195 * Fixed a problem that would cause g_warning()s in epiphany
196 when browsing sites that (incorrectly) returned empty
197 Cache-Control headers. [#683433, Dan]
199 * We now add a Host header to HTTP/1.0 requests as well as
202 * Fixed a bug in the printing of IPv6 address literals in the
203 Host header in SoupLogger. (They were being sent across the
204 wire correctly, they were just printed wrong by SoupLogger.)
207 * Belatedly added soup-multipart-input-stream.h to soup.h.
210 * Removed an evil hack in the long-deprecated
211 SoupProxyResolver code (not to be confused with
212 SoupProxyURIResolver), to avoid warnings with glib master.
213 If you had previously implemented a custom
214 SoupProxyResolver, then it will probably (silently) stop
215 working, but you should have ported it to
216 SoupProxyURIResolver years ago anyway... [Dan, #687659]
218 * Fixed a few race conditions in the test programs that could
219 cause "make check" to fail on slow or heavily-loaded
222 * Further cleaned up and reorganized the internal HTTP I/O
223 codepaths, in preparation for an improved SoupCache.
224 [#682112, Sergio] (This change should not actually be
225 externally noticeable. But if SoupContentDecoder or
226 SoupContentSniffer turns out to be broken in this release,
229 * New/updated translations:
232 Changes in libsoup from 2.40.1 to 2.41.1:
234 * Changed the behavior of NTLM authentication to be more like
235 what other apps apparently do. Now if the user does not
236 specify a domain in the username (eg, "MYDOMAIN\username"),
237 then we will not specify a domain in the NTLM response
238 (rather than assuming that the user is in the server's
239 default domain). People who get broken by this change should
240 be able to fix it by including an explicit domain in their
241 username, but the theory is that no one should get broken by
242 this... If this change does turn out to hurt more than it
243 helps then it may be reverted later. [#624613, Dan, based on
244 a suggestion from David Woodhouse]
246 * Fixed a crash caused by a race condition in SoupSessionSync.
249 * SoupRequest now supports resource:// URIs, for reading from
250 gresource. [#682721, Carlos]
252 * Added new compile-time and runtime APIs for checking the
253 libsoup version. [#684514, Martin Robinson]
255 * Updated to take advantage of (and require) glib 2.35;
256 removed all g_type_init() calls and ported to GTask. [Dan]
258 * Added support for Apache 2.4 to the unit tests. [Dan]
263 Changes in libsoup from 2.40.0 to 2.40.1:
265 * Improved the parsing of multipart/x-mixed-replace responses.
268 * Fixed handling of IPv6 address literals. [#684990, Dan]
270 * New/updated translations:
271 Catalan, Catalan (Valencian), Norwegian bokmål
273 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.92 to 2.40.0:
275 * New/updated translations:
276 Bengali (India), Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Estonian,
277 German, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Latvian, Malayalam,
278 Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Ukranian
280 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.91 to 2.39.92:
282 * Fixed some g_warnings (and a possible crash) with the
283 soup_request_send_async(). [#683404, Dan]
285 * Fixed a hang with SoupSessionSync [#682923, Dan]
287 * Handle empty "Cache-Control" headers. [Sergio]
289 * New/updated translations:
290 Assamese, Belarusian, Brazilian Portuguese, British English,
291 Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, French, Galician,
292 Greek, Gujarati, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Lithuanian,
293 Marathi, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian,
296 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.90 to 2.39.91:
298 * Added missing (transfer full) annotation to
299 soup_cookie_jar_add_cookie() and
300 soup_cookie_jar_add_cookie_with_first_party(), fixing
301 crashes in bindings. [#682554, Daniel Drake]
303 * Fixed a crash [#682569, Alexander Larsson] and a win32 build
304 problem [#683200, Kalev Lember] introduced by the memory
305 leak fixes in 2.39.90
307 * Fixed the SoupMessage:network-event signal, which had been
308 skipping the G_SOCKET_CLIENT_COMPLETE state in tunneled
309 https connections. And added a test for this. [Dan]
311 * New/updated translations:
312 French, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish,
313 Punjabi, Swedish, Tamil
315 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.5 to 2.39.90:
317 * Added SoupMultipartInputStream, for handling multipart
318 responses (particularly multipart/x-mixed-replace).
321 * Fixed a potential crash in SoupSessionAsync after the
322 session is finalized.
324 * Fixed a regression in soup_tls_is_public_suffix() [#681085,
327 * Added a SOUP_MESSAGE_IDEMPOTENT flag, so that apps can
328 bypass the "POSTs must be sent on new connections" check,
329 which was causing evolution-ews to have to create a new
330 connection for every request. [#681493, Milan Crha]
332 * Changed SoupSession so that pending SoupMessages now hold a
333 ref on the session. It is possible that this will break code
334 that was depending on the old, dumb, behavior (where
335 unreffing the session with messages pending would cause
336 those messages to be cancelled), in which case this will be
337 reverted before 2.40.
339 * Fixed memory leaks found by valgrind.
341 * Cleaned up some code in SoupCache. [#681509, Sergio]
343 * New/updated translations:
344 Bengali (India), Chinese (Traditional), German, Marathi,
347 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.4.1 to 2.39.5:
349 * Fixed several bugs in the soup-message-io updates that could
350 cause hangs or I/O errors. [#679527 and other bugs not filed
353 * Fixed SoupServer:async-context to work properly again
355 * Further fixes to soup_uri_normalize() when using the
356 "unescape_extra" parameter. [#680018]
358 * Fixed soup_xmlrpc_parse_method_call() to handle the case
359 where there is no <params> element (which is legal).
362 * Fixed the deprecation warning on soup_message_headers_get()
365 * Added warnings to some erroneous SoupSocket usages rather
366 than returning bogus data. [#673083, Simon McVittie]
368 * Fixed build under Windows/MinGW
370 * SoupSocket no longer emits the "readable" signal when a
371 socket is disconnected if that socket is non-blocking.
373 * Updated public suffix list to the current version.
375 * New/Updated translations:
376 Assamese, Chinese (simplified), Esperanto, Galician, Greek, Gujarati,
377 Hebrew, Norwegian bokmål, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian
379 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.4 to 2.39.4.1:
381 * Fixed indentation problems in tld-parser.py so it will work
382 under python 3. [#680089, "marduk"]
384 * Actually fixed cookies in non-suffixed/private domains,
385 which still didn't work after the last fix. [#679230,
388 * Updated translations:
391 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.3 to 2.39.4:
393 * Fixed the SoupRequest codepaths to properly retry in the
394 case where the server closes a persistent connection when we
395 try to use it. [Dan, might be the fix for #679527, but this
396 is not yet confirmed]
398 * Fixed the content-type and content-length of requests
399 retrieved from SoupCache. [#680029, Carlos Garcia Campos]
401 * Fixed the handling of cookies in non-suffixed and private
402 domains ("localhost", "foo.local", etc) [#679230, Sergio and
405 * Fixed cookie parsing to allow attribute values on "secure"
406 and "HttpOnly". (Neither is supposed to have a value, but it
407 happens in the real world.) [#678753, Dan, based on a patch
410 * Fixed soup_uri_normalize() to not always run the "fixup"
411 codepath. [#680018, pointed out by Yann Soubeyrand]
413 * Fixed a (rare) crash when closing the stream returned from
414 SoupRequestHTTP. [Dan]
416 * Use G_DEPRECATED on deprecated functions, and then fix up
417 the warnings this caused due to libsoup using its own
418 deprecated functions. [#671770, Javier Jardón]
420 * Fixed up "make dist" by, among other things, rewriting
421 tld-parser in python. [#678909, Colin Walters]
423 * Removed the "getbug" example program in tests/, which didn't
424 work any more anyway. [Dan]
426 * Various internal code cleanups. [Dan] Fixed one crash
427 resulting from this [#680055, Alban Browaeys]; hopefully
428 there won't be any more.
430 * New/Updated translations:
431 Assamese, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Chinese (traditional), Hebrew,
432 Indonesian, Lithuanian, Norwegian bokmål, Vietnamese
434 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.2 to 2.39.3:
436 * Added new functions for comparing domains against the
437 "public suffix" list (http://publicsuffix.org/), and in
438 particular fixed SoupCookieJar to not allow setting cookies
439 in "public" domains (eg, ".co.uk"). [#673802, Sergio]
441 * Added two new SoupCookieJar APIs
442 (soup_cookie_jar_get_cookies() and
443 soup_cookie_jar_set_cookie_with_first_party()) as part of
444 fixing the handling of HttpOnly cookies in WebKitGTK.
445 [#677922, Christophe Dumez]
447 * Fixed g-i annotation of
448 soup_message_headers_get_content_type(). [#677002, Dan]
450 * Updated translations:
451 Galician, Greek, Slovenian, Spanish, Telugu
453 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.1 to 2.39.2:
455 * Fixed several bugs that resulted from the I/O code rewrite
456 in 2.39.1, and added more test cases to exercise the new
459 * Problems with cancelling messages from the
460 got-headers signal [#674747, Dan]
462 * Persistent connections were not always being closed
463 properly after a message was cancelled mid-response.
466 * Cancelling a SoupRequest before it started I/O
469 * Asynchronous HTTP authentication via the SoupRequest
472 * Memory leak [#676038, Ray Strode]
474 * Refcounting bug that manifested as a crash in rygel
475 [#676038, Ray Strode]
477 * Handling failed CONNECT requests via SoupRequest
480 * Messages with trailing junk following a compressed
481 message body [#676477, Dan]
483 * Fixed three cache-related bugs that affect some sites
484 (notably Twitter) [Sergio]
486 * Fixed a bug in the /usr/bin/ntlm_auth integration when you
487 don't already have credentials cached, and avoid printing
488 warning messages when ntlm_auth is present but not usable.
491 * Fixed some g-ir-scanner warnings, and included
492 SoupRequester/SoupRequest in the introspected API [#676742,
495 * Added soup_buffer_get_as_bytes() [#676776, Jasper]
497 * New/updated translations:
498 Belarusian, Chinese (simplified), French, Galician, Greek,
499 Hebrew, Polish, Punjabi, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish
501 Changes in libsoup from 2.38.1 to 2.39.1:
503 * Major rewrite of the I/O code to use gio streams more
504 directly. In particular, when using SoupRequestHTTP now, the
505 input stream that is returned is actually pulling data from
506 the socket, rather than just repeatedly pausing and
507 unpausing the underlying SoupMessage and waiting for data to
508 be pushed into it. This also means that SoupRequestHTTP now
509 works with SoupSessionSync as well. [#591739, Dan]
511 (The SoupRequest API is still protected by unstable-API
512 #ifdefs, but will be made public later in this cycle.)
514 * Libsoup now finally supports SOCKS proxies again. [#553269,
517 * Certain error messages returned from the streaming API
518 (SoupRequest, etc) are now localized; more strings will be
521 * New translations: Galician, Hebrew, Indonesian, Norwegian
522 bokmål, Polish, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish.
524 * Added a SoupCookieJar:is-persistent property, to distinguish
525 memory-only jars from SoupCookieJarText and
526 SoupCookieJarSqlite. [#672838, Carlos Garcia Campos]
528 Changes in libsoup from 2.38.0 to 2.38.1:
530 * Fixed a situation where soup_connection_disconnect() could
531 end up calling g_object_unref(NULL) when an idle connection
532 was closed. [Sergio, #672178]
534 * Fixed two warnings when cancelling an in-progress
535 soup_socket_connect_async(). [pointed out on the mailing
536 list by Sven Neumann]
538 * Fixed a crash when disposing a SoupServer with open
539 connections. [#673468, Jonny Lamb]
541 * Fixed the SoupSession:ssl-use-system-ca-file property to get
542 turned off (rather than on) when you set it to FALSE... Also
543 fixed up the property notifications around the various
544 certificate-verification properties (ssl-ca-file,
545 ssl-use-system-ca-file, and tls-database).
547 * Fixed SoupSession to not leak paused SoupMessages that
548 were still in progress when it was unreffed. [#673905]
550 * Updated the win32 file: URI code again, to fix regressions
551 in the WebKit tests. [WebKit bug #82484]
553 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.92 to 2.38.0:
555 * Minor documentation fixes
557 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.91 to 2.37.92:
559 * Added soup_session_prefetch_dns() and deprecated
560 soup_session_prepare_for_uri(). The new method takes a
561 completion callback, allowing you to know how many DNS
562 resolutions are currently outstanding, so you don't spam the
563 resolver. [Sergio, WebKit bug #41630]
565 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.90 to 2.37.91:
567 * Fixed an out-of-bounds memory read that could occur when
568 parsing malformed requests/responses.
570 * Fixed a build-related bug in Makefile.glib that affected
571 locales such as Estonian where "Z" is not the last (ASCII)
572 letter of the alphabet. [#654395, Priit Laes]
574 * Fixed the handling of file: URIs with query components,
575 which got broken in 2.37.90.
577 * Fixed SoupAuthManagerNTLM to not fall back to allowing Basic
578 auth when NTLM failed.
580 * Further tweaked the warnings/fallback in SoupURI, so that
581 soup_uri_to_string() on an http URI with a NULL path would
582 translate that to "/" like it used to. [#670431]
584 * Fixed a warning when cancelling the load of a page with many
585 subresources. [#667245]
587 * Use G_GNUC_BEGIN/END_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS if GLib is new
588 enough, to avoid getting warned about the use of
591 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.5 to 2.37.90:
593 * libsoup is now beta-testing Makefile.glib from bug 654395.
594 If 2.37.90 fails to build in some strange way that 2.37.5
595 did not, this is probably why.
597 * Replaced some of the SoupURI g_return_if_fail()s that were
598 added in 2.37.5 with g_warn_if_fail()s. Although it had
599 always been documented that SoupURIs must have a non-NULL
600 path, most SoupURI functions treated NULL the same as "",
601 and various apps (eg, rhythmbox, midori) were accidentally
602 relying on this. [Dan]
604 * Added various return-if-fails and other sanity checks to
605 various functions. [#669479, Robert Swain, Mark Nauwelaerts,
608 * Updated docs/annotation of soup_form_decode_multipart() to
609 note that all of the out parameters are (allow-none). Fixed
610 the file_control_name parameter to actually allow NULL like
611 the docs already claimed. [#669479, Simon McVittie]
613 * Fixed a minor URI parsing bug. (It was allowing URI schemes
614 to contain numbers.) [Dan]
616 * Fixed a few memory leaks introduced in the 2.37 cycle. [Dan]
618 * Fixed SoupServer to be able to correctly respond to HTTP/1.0
619 requests over IPv6 (which previously would always have
620 returned "400 Bad Request"). [#666399, Dan]
622 * Changed SoupSessionAsync to make it possible to finalize it
623 from the "wrong" thread. [#667364, Dan].
625 * Fixed SoupCache to not cache resources whose URIs have query
626 components (unless they have explicit cache headers); to not
627 generate broken conditional requests for resources that
628 cannot be conditionally validated; and to not spew warnings
629 when receiving invalid Cache-Control headers. [#668865,
632 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.4 to 2.37.5:
634 * Fixed a bug in SoupSession:use-thread-context [Dan]
636 * Fixed the case of cancelling a message from
637 SoupSession::request-started [#668098, Raphael Kubo da
640 * Fixed a crash in epiphany when loading a page with more than
641 1000 or so images. [#668508, Dan]
643 * Fixed a bunch of cases involving invalid URLs found while
644 testing SoupServer against an HTTP protocol fuzzer. Also
645 fixed up some documentation/annotations and added some new
646 test cases. [#667637, Simon McVittie]
648 * Fixed SoupRequestFile to work on Windows. [Paweł Forysiuk]
650 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.3 to 2.37.4:
652 * SoupMessage now has a "network-event" signal that can be
653 monitored for information about DNS, proxy lookup, TCP
654 connections, and TLS handshakes. [Dan]
656 * The HTTP header parsing code now avoids hitting
657 g_return_if_fails() (and returns an error instead) in a few
658 cases of seriously-invalid headers. [#666316, Simon
661 * POSTs and other non-idempotent requests are now always sent
662 on newly-created connections. You can also force this
663 behavior on other messages by setting the
664 SOUP_MESSAGE_NEW_CONNECTION flag. [#578990, Dan]
666 * Server-closed idle connections are now detected ahead of
667 time on Windows, preventing occasional spurious "Connection
668 terminated unexpectedly" errors. (This had been fixed on
669 UNIX since 2.28, but the earlier fix didn't work with
670 WinSock.) [#578990, Dan]
672 * Plugged a leak in SoupRequestHTTP. [#667099, Xan]
674 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.2 to 2.37.3:
676 * Now requires glib 2.31
678 * Simplified SoupHTTPInputStream and SoupRequestHTTP, allowing
679 related simplifications in WebKit's ResourceHandleSoup. This
680 is an ABI-incompatible change, but SoupHTTPInputStream is an
681 unstable API. [#663451, Dan]
683 * Fixed a bug that caused the SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED
684 flag to always be cleared, causing epiphany to claim all
685 https pages were untrusted. [#665182, Dan]
687 * Fixed some bugs in the handling of SoupSession:http-aliases
688 and SoupSession:https-aliases.
690 * Fixed handling of ACLOCAL_FLAGS [#641470, Craig Keogh]
692 * Fixed SoupContentDecoder's "ignore Content-Encoding: gzip
693 because the server didn't actually mean it" hack to handle
696 * Clarified the documentation on SoupSession:ssl-strict
699 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.1 to 2.37.2:
701 * Fixed up the output of SoupDirectoryInputStream, thus
702 improving the display of local directories in WebKit-based
703 browsers. [#662266, Sergio]
705 * Fixed a bug introduced in 2.37.1 that caused some cancelled
706 SoupMessages to be leaked. [#662847, Sergio]
708 * Added new SoupSession properties "http-aliases" and
709 "https-aliases" that allow you to configure more explicitly
710 what URL protocols are treated as aliases for http (eg,
711 "dav:", "webcal:", etc), and which should be recognized as
712 meaning something else, (eg, "ftp:") [Dan]
714 * Added soup_session_would_redirect() and
715 soup_session_redirect_message(), to help users that want to
716 handle some or all redirects themselves. Added
717 soup_message_set_redirect() to make it easier to return
718 redirection responses from a SoupServer. [Dan]
720 * Added the SoupSession "use-thread-context" property, which
721 tells it to use GMainContexts in a gio-compliant way (and in
722 particular, allows having different messages running in
723 different GMainContexts on the same SoupSession, though only
724 to a limited extent since SoupSessionAsync is still not
725 thread-safe). In particular, this was added in order to
726 address WebKit bug 68238. [Dan]
728 * Made SoupURI %-encode non-ASCII characters when parsing
729 URIs, in particular to fix a problem with certain servers
730 sending syntactically invalid redirects that they would then
731 only interpret correctly if you fixed the syntax for them.
732 (@$!@#! Although the new code is probably more correct than
733 the old code anyway, so...) [#662806, Dan]
735 * Fixed a connection-handling bug that could cause problems
736 with servers that requested authentication and then timed
737 out the connection while the application was waiting for the
738 user to enter a password. [#660057, Dan]
740 * Made NTLM and Basic authentication handle some non-ASCII
741 usernames and passwords. (NTLM should handle most. It's
742 impossible to fix Basic in the general case.) [#576838,
743 Joachim Breitner, "sponsored by ITOMIG GmbH and the City of
746 * Added support for "deflate" Content-Encoding, so that we can
747 work with broken servers that insisted on using it even
748 though we explicitly indicated in the request headers that
749 we didn't support it. (@$#!#) [#661682, Sergio]
751 Changes in libsoup from 2.36.0 to 2.37.1:
753 * Fixed a problem with connections being assigned to multiple
754 requests at once after a redirection [#651146, Sergio]. Made
755 soup_session_pause/unpause_message() work in any state, not
756 just while the HTTP I/O is occurring, and used this to add a
757 test case for that bug. [Dan]
759 * Ported SoupSession to use GTlsDatabase internally, and added
760 two new properties, SoupSession:use-system-ca-file (to
761 specify that the session should use the default system
762 tlsdb) and SoupSession:tlsdb (to specify a specific tlsdb to
765 * Likewise, added SoupServer:tls-certificate, for specifying a
766 certificate/key for an https server to use.
768 * Made SoupHTTPInputStream use memory more efficiently.
771 * Fixed soup_message_get_https_status() to return information
772 more reliably (with latest glib-networking).
774 * Bumped the glib requirement to 2.30.0; although libsoup does
775 not use any new glib 2.30 APIs, there are several important
776 bugfixes in glib between 2.28 and 2.30 that libsoup needs.
777 Currently libsoup builds against either glib 2.30.x or glib
780 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.92 to 2.36.0:
782 * Improvements to gtk-doc documentation. [Dan]
784 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.90 to 2.35.92:
786 * Fixed a problem where SoupHTTPRequest response bodies could
787 be truncated. [#659256, Sergio]
789 * Fixed a bug in copying TLS information from SoupSocket to
790 SoupMessage, causing all https connections to be reported as
791 "untrusted" in epiphany. [Dan]
793 * Made SoupSession remove items from its host cache after a
794 while, so that if a host changes IP address, it will
795 eventually try to re-resolve it. [#646959, Sergio]
797 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.5 to 2.35.90:
799 * Added SOUP_MESSAGE_CAN_REBUILD flag, to use with
800 soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE) on a request body,
801 to indicate that the caller will recreate the request body
802 after it has been discarded if the message needs to be
805 * Fixed the build on mingw-w64 by not using "interface" as
806 as variable name. [#656402, Erik van Pienbroek]
808 * (The multihosted https server regression mentioned in the
809 2.35.5 NEWS turned out to be a glib-networking bug, which is
810 fixed as of 2.29.18.)
812 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.4 to 2.35.5:
814 * Support NTLM single sign on via samba's /usr/bin/ntlm_auth.
815 [#650940, Mandy Wu]. This is enabled by default (if NTLM is
816 enabled for the session and the ntlm_auth binary is
817 available), but will fall back to the standard
818 password-based authentication if SSO fails.
820 * Default to TLS+extensions for https connections, falling
821 back to SSLv3-without-extensions (the old default) only if
822 the server fails to negotiate TLS. [#581342]
824 * As a result of this change, some users are currently
825 seeing problems with sites that serve multiple https
826 hosts from a single IP address (eg,
827 *.launchpad.net). There is no known workaround at
830 * Fixed a longstanding problem with https pages sometimes not
831 loading when using a proxy. [#631368, based on patches from
832 DongJae Kim and Thierry Reding]
834 * SoupContentSniffer: don't use gio's sniffing rules, since
835 the spec now recommends that browsers not do any additional
836 sniffing beyond what's in the spec. [#648846, "arno"]
838 * Fixed SoupRequestHTTP to work properly with alternate
839 GMainContexts. [#653707]
841 * Added some annotations from Vala's vapi files. [#655397,
842 Evan Nemerson]. Also, removed SoupProxyResolver from the
843 gir/typelib, since it had been deprecated since before
844 introspection was available, and it was being scanned wrong
847 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.3 to 2.35.4:
849 * CVE-2011-2524: Fixed a security hole that caused some
850 SoupServer users to unintentionally allow accessing the
851 entire local filesystem when they thought they were only
852 providing access to a single directory. [#653258]
854 * Plugged another SoupCache memory leak [Xan]
856 * Simplified SoupCache keys, and handle collisions. [#649963,
859 * Annotate SoupSession:add-feature, etc, as (skip), so they
860 don't conflict with the methods of the same name. [#655150,
863 Changes in libsoup from 2.34.1 to 2.35.3:
865 * SoupCache fixes [Sergio]:
867 * Don't store hop-by-hop headers [#650094]
869 * Fix status code and headers of responses returned
870 from the cache after being revalidated [#649965]
872 * Added versioning support to the cache file format
873 [#652554] and extended it to keep track of the
874 status code [#649965]
876 * Fixed storage of time values in the cache [#653349]
878 * Fixed a use-after-free that could result in bogus
879 data being written to the cache [#650620]
881 * Various leaks [#649309]
883 * Work around an Apache bug where it tells browsers to
884 automatically decode .gz files but still keep the .gz in the
887 * Fixed an overflow when sending a response larger than 2^31
888 bytes (eg, streaming movies in Rygel). [#638468, Jens Georg]
890 * Always send the Keep-Alive header, not just to hosts we
891 already know to be HTTP/1.0 [#648680, Sergio]
893 * Fixed various leaks [#652699, Sergio], [#651643, Milan],
896 * Minor build fix for Debian/Ubuntu [#648948]
900 Changes in libsoup from 2.34.0 to 2.34.1:
902 * Two multipart forms/Content-Disposition fixes [Dan]:
904 * UTF-8-encoded header encoding/decoding rules updated
905 to match RFC 5987. In particular, a UTF-8-encoded
906 filename parameter in Content-Disposition will now
907 override an ASCII one.
909 * When not using UTF-8-encoded filenames in
910 Content-Disposition, always quote the filename,
911 since some servers erroneously fail to handle
912 non-quoted ones. [#641280]
914 * Fixed several memory leaks [Dan, Xan]
916 * Fixed decoding base64 data: URLs [#646896, Sergio]
918 * Simplified the libsoup-gnome build on Windows by dropping
919 the gnome-keyring dependency. [Fridrich Štrba]
921 * Fixed a bug in soup_uri_to_string() in which (invalid) port
922 numbers could be output as negative numbers (tripping up a
923 WebKit "sanity checking" test). [#647767, Sergio]
925 * Fixed a cache corruption bug in SoupCache. [#648285, Sergio]
927 * Fixed a crash in SoupSessionSync when using
928 soup_session_abort().
930 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.92 to 2.34.0:
932 * Fixed the GMainContext handling of the new
933 SoupProxyResolverDefault (which among other things fixes
934 gstreamer usage inside epiphany). [#646201, Sebastian Dröge]
936 * Tweaked the introspection Makefile rules to fix a problem
937 building on Debian/Ubuntu. [#645505]
939 * Belated bumped the shared library versioning to reflect the
940 API additions since 2.32.0
942 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.90 to 2.33.92:
944 * LIBSOUP NO LONGER DEPENDS ON GCONF OR LIBPROXY.
947 * Added SoupProxyResolverDefault, which uses uses gio's
948 GProxyResolver to resolve proxies [#642982, Gustavo Noronha
949 Silva]. Despite the "default" in the name, it is not used by
950 default, for compatibility reasons, but it is available in
951 plain libsoup, not libsoup-gnome. (Of course, it depends on
952 having glib-networking installed.)
954 * Updated SoupProxyResolverGNOME to be based on
955 SoupProxyResolverDefault, but explicitly requesting the
956 "gnome" GProxyResolver if it is available [#625898], and
957 removed the old code that used GConf and libproxy directly.
959 * Added soup_server_disconnect(), to explicitly disconnect a
960 SoupServer, since it is not possible to g_object_unref() it
961 from memory-managed language bindings. [#638576, Andreas
964 * SoupDate now parses month names case-insensitively [#644048,
967 * Avoid a g_return_if_fail() when using
968 SOUP_COOKIE_JAR_ACCEPT_NO_THIRD_PARTY with non-http URIs
969 (file:, data:, etc). [#643226]
971 * SoupCookieJar now catches overflows when parsing very
972 distant dates [#643462, based on a patch from Mark
975 * Fixed a buggy interaction between request body streaming and
976 restarted requests [David Woodhouse]. Added some new tests
977 to tests/chunk-test.c to make sure that a specific
978 (unsupported!) way of using those methods would not get
979 broken in the future.
981 * Fixed soup_socket_get_remote_address(), which had been
982 broken since 2.33.4 (and which in turn caused
983 soup_client_context_get_address/_get_host to be broken).
986 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.6 to 2.33.90:
988 * Attempted to make libsoup's dependency on glib-networking
989 (for TLS support) more explicit, by requiring that
990 glib-networking be present at compile time unless the
991 builder explicitly passes "--disable-tls-check", and noting
992 that packagers should give libsoup a runtime dependency on
995 * Fixed a bug in talking to servers with virtual hosts with
996 Unicode names (IDNs) [#642075]
998 * Added a "Connection: Keep-Alive" header when talking to
999 HTTP/1.0 hosts, to improve performance. [#640414, Sergio
1002 * Changed SoupCache to not cache multipart/x-mixed-replace
1003 content. [#642028, Sergio Villar Senin]
1005 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.5 to 2.33.6:
1007 * Made SoupSessionAsync do idle-connection cleanup more
1008 sanely, resulting in faster load times for pages with lots
1009 of subresources. [#639768, Sergio Villar Senin]
1011 * Fixed soup_form_decode()'s behavior (and by extension,
1012 SoupServer query string handling) with datasets that contain
1013 multiple values for the same key, and added a test case.
1014 [#639783, Sven Neumann]
1016 * Fixed warnings pointed out by gcc 4.6, including a bug in
1017 SoupCache that would cause unnecessary revalidations
1020 * Belated copied a fix from the WebKit copy of soup-cache.c
1021 into ours, and fixed a bug in the local copy of
1022 soup-request-data.c [#641022, Sergio Villar Senin], in
1023 preparation for making WebKit use the libsoup versions.
1025 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.4 to 2.33.5:
1027 * Fixed certain cases of soup_session_cancel_message() with
1028 SoupSessionSync that could previously cause warnings or
1031 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.2 to 2.33.4:
1033 * SoupSocket now uses GSocketConnection and GTlsConnection
1034 internally rather than making socket calls directly and
1035 using GIOStream, and TLS is handled via glib's APIs rather
1036 than using gnutls directly.
1038 * The gzip Content-Encoding handler is now implemented using
1041 * As a result of the above two changes, libsoup no longer
1042 directly depends on gnutls, libgcrypt, or zlib, though it
1043 still indirectly depends on zlib via glib and libxml2. Also,
1044 although libsoup does not depend on glib-networking as a
1045 build-time dependency, some "make check" tests will be
1046 skipped if it is not installed.
1048 * The SoupRequest/SoupCache code from WebKit has been
1049 imported, but it is not yet recommended for general use, and
1050 is not necessarily API stable. [#523100, Sergio Villar, with
1051 the SoupRequest parts based on the Summer of Code work by
1052 Gabriel Corvalan and the cache parts based on an earlier
1055 * Added SoupMessage:tls-certificate and
1056 SoupMessage:tls-errors, which give more information about
1057 the certificate used to authenticate a TLS connection.
1059 * It is now possible to disable Basic or Digest auth in a
1060 session by using soup_session_remove_feature_by_type() with
1061 SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_BASIC or SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_DIGEST. Likewise, the
1062 right way to enable NTLM support now is to call
1063 soup_session_add_feature_by_type() with SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_NTLM;
1064 SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM is now deprecated.
1066 * Allow setting cookies on file:// URIs, since other browsers
1067 do, and WebKit has a test for it. [#603825]
1069 * .gir/.typelib files now include C header/library information
1070 (needed by vala and some other bindings) [#635395, Evan
1073 * Added annotations on soup_message_headers_get_content_type()
1074 [Lucas Rocha] and SoupHTTPVersion [John Palmieri]
1076 * Fixed a Set-Cookie processing leak [#636741, Jonathan
1079 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.1 to 2.32.2:
1081 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused evolution-exchange
1082 to get stuck and stop updating. [#634422]
1084 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with apps using asynchronous
1085 sessions from multiple threads (in particular, gupnp)
1088 * Fixed the regression test for #631525 to not cause spurious
1089 "make check" failures on some machines.
1091 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.0 to 2.32.1:
1093 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with the use of persistent
1094 connections that caused spurious "Connection terminated
1095 unexpectedly" errors. [#631525, debugged by Sergio Villar]
1097 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused proxy-related
1098 DNS errors to return SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than
1099 SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE_PROXY.
1101 * Usernames/passwords specified explicitly in request URIs now
1102 override existing cached auth info. [#631679, Sergio Villar]
1104 * Changed soup_uri_decode() and soup_uri_normalize() to just
1105 ignore malformed %-encoding rather than returning NULL,
1106 for consistency with soup_uri_new(). [#630540]
1108 * Fixed soup_form_decode() to ignore invalid parameters,
1109 and soup_form_encode_hash() to just g_return_if_fail()
1110 rather than crashing if there are NULL values in the
1113 * Added another workaround for stupid servers that close the
1114 connection before returning the full response (in this case,
1115 when using chunked encoding and failing to include the
1116 final 0-length chunk). [#629160]
1118 * Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJarText that deleted excess cookies
1119 whenever any cookie expired. [#631641, Michał Kazior]
1121 * Fixed a small leak in SoupContentDecoder if you were using
1122 it incorrectly. [pointed out in email by Christophe
1125 * Added regression tests for passwords-in-URIs [#631679,
1126 Sergio Villar] and SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT.
1128 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.92 to 2.32.0:
1130 * (No changes, just a version bump)
1132 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.90 to 2.31.92:
1134 * Updated for gobject-introspection 0.9.5. Also added some new
1135 annotations and removed a bunch of private headers from the
1138 * Percent-encoded characters in URIs are no longer
1139 automatically normalized to uppercase, since apparently some
1140 servers are stupid. [#628728, Sergio Villar Senin]
1142 * Fixed a crash when resolving a URI containing both spaces
1143 and non-UTF8 8bit characters. [#629449]
1145 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.90:
1147 * libsoup now tries to connect to each IP address associated
1148 with a hostname, if the first one fails. In particular, if a
1149 host has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and only one of them
1150 is reachable from the current host, libsoup will now try the
1151 other one rather than failing. (libc is supposed to sort the
1152 IP addresses in the right order, such that, eg, if you don't
1153 have IPv6 connectivity, it will put the IPv4 address first.
1154 For some reason though, this seems to be broken on some
1155 distros.) [#526321].
1157 * Fixed Accept-Language header generation in locales where ","
1158 is used as the decimal point.
1160 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.6:
1162 * Disabled TLS 1.2 in addition to the already-disabled 1.1 and
1163 1.0 [see below, in libsoup 2.27.2], thus making libsoup
1164 usable with gnutls 2.10. [#622857. This commit, 01a43ad9,
1165 can be applied to libsoup 2.30.x as well if you need that
1166 release to work with gnutls 2.10.]
1168 * When using libproxy 0.3 or newer, libsoup no longer leaks
1169 proxy-related environment variables into child processes
1172 * Changed the way message/connection binding works in
1173 SoupSession so that (among other things), when there are
1174 multiple requests queued to a host, and one of them gets a
1175 network error, the other requests are still allowed to try
1176 to succeed, rather than all failing immediately. [#619633]
1178 * SoupSession now limits the number of times a message can be
1179 redirected, to avoid infinite loops [#604383, José Millán
1182 * Fixed handling of certain messages where the response
1183 headers included "Connection: close" but the server did not
1184 actually close the connection at the end. [#611481]
1186 * Fixed some incorrect g-i annotations [#621021]
1188 * Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access when processing certain
1189 Set-Cookie headers [#620288]
1191 * Improved msg->reason_phrase on network errors [#623274]
1193 * Fixed gir file disting [#621727, Yaakov Selkowitz]
1195 Changes in libsoup from 2.30.1 to 2.31.2:
1197 * gobject-introspection has now been merged in. Use
1198 --enable-introspection to build. [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
1199 Note that the introspected API is not yet stable, and in
1200 particular, there are numerous values annotated as "utf8"
1201 which are actually not guaranteed to be utf8. (Eg, most
1204 * Added some helper functions for bindings:
1205 soup_buffer_new_take(),
1206 soup_message_body_append_take(), and
1207 soup_buffer_get_data(). [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
1209 * Also added properties for several SoupMessage public
1210 fields, and getter methods for various boxed types
1211 (SoupCookie, SoupDate, SoupURI).
1213 * Added some additional hash-table annotations.
1214 [#619086, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1216 * Marked SoupSession abstract. [#617216, Lorenzo Gil, the
1217 first bug filed by someone trying to use libsoup via
1218 introspection!] Likewise for SoupAuth and SoupAuthDomain.
1220 * Fixed a problem with SoupSessionAsync that would cause
1221 messages to get lost if you aborted a previous message while
1222 it was still looking up the hostname. Fixed several other
1223 problems that were discovered while adding a regression test
1224 for that. [#618641, thanks to Claudio Saavedra for a good
1227 * Fixed another connecting-to-lame-http-server problem, and a
1228 getting-stuck-in-a-loop-reconnecting bug that it revealed.
1231 Changes in libsoup from 2.30.0 to 2.30.1:
1233 * Fix for https through proxies that close the connection when
1234 returning a "407 Proxy Authentication Required" response,
1235 and add a regression test for that case. [#611663]
1237 * Fixed multiple forms/multipart-related interoperability
1238 problems reported by Egon Andersen:
1240 * Don't quote the multipart boundary string if it's
1241 not needed, since RFC 2616 recommends that you
1242 don't, and some servers don't handle quotes there
1243 correctly. (Sigh.) [#614176]
1245 * Don't put an extra blank line before the first
1246 multipart part, since it's unnecessary and some
1247 servers don't handle a multipart preamble correctly.
1250 * Don't put Content-Transfer-Encoding headers in the
1251 multipart/form-data parts, even though the HTML 4
1252 spec says you must, since no other browsers do, and
1253 some servers don't handle them correctly. (Sigh.)
1256 * Changed SoupCookieJarSqlite to actually erase deleted
1257 cookies from the database. [#615711, Lukasz Slachciak]
1259 * Fixed SoupLogger to be more robust against getting passed
1260 bad data by the session. [#611663]
1262 * Fixed SoupAuthDomain to ignore paths when doing proxy auth
1264 * Fixed a g_warning when hovering over a javascript link in
1265 WebKit. [#613442, Xan Lopez]
1267 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.91 to 2.30.0:
1269 * Fixed a crash in the whitespace-stripping code in
1270 soup_uri_new() [#612644, "arnaud.lb"]
1272 * Update content-sniffing algorithm to match Chrome and the
1273 soon-to-be-updated sniffing spec. [#611502, Gustavo Noronha
1276 * We now handle "Content-Encoding: x-gzip" as well as "gzip"
1277 (even though "x-gzip" has been deprecated for more than 10
1280 * Fixed leaks found by valgrind
1282 * Make the "make check" programs only bind to 127.0.0.1, not
1283 any public network interfaces. [#609489, Saleem Absulrasool]
1285 * Add a test to sniffing-test to make sure that Content-Type
1286 parameters are preserved correctly. [Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1288 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.90 to 2.29.91:
1290 * Added SOUP_SESSION_SSL_STRICT and
1291 SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED, to allow callers to
1292 determine if an https response comes from a server with a
1293 recognized/valid or unrecognized/invalid certificate.
1294 [#610374, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1296 * Fixed handling of certain badly-formatted URIs [#590524]
1298 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.6 to 2.29.90:
1300 * Added soup_cookie_jar_set_accept_policy() and related API
1301 for implementing cookie acceptance policies. [#608353, Xan
1304 * Fixed the "request-read" signal in SoupServer to actually be
1307 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.5 to 2.29.6:
1309 * Fixed SoupContentDecoder to ignore trailing junk after the
1310 encoded message body (as other browsers do), rather than
1311 getting stuck in an infinite loop. [#606352]
1313 * Fixed an invalid read in soup_cookie_applies_to_uri()
1314 [#607024, pointed out by Xan]
1316 * Fixed linking on OS X [#606959]
1318 * Removed a harmless warning in SoupServer. [#606645]
1320 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.3 to 2.29.5:
1322 * Added SoupContentDecoder, providing support for
1323 Content-Encoding: gzip for WebKitGTK. [#522772]
1325 * Added "accept-language" and "accept-language-auto"
1326 properties to SoupSession, to support the Accept-Language
1327 header. [#597004, Mario Sanchez Prada]
1329 * Fixed a bug in SoupPasswordManagerGNOME that could cause
1330 crashes if you typed the wrong password once and then tried
1331 again. [#595554, debugged by Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1333 * Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDigest if the server claims support
1334 for both qop=auth and qop=auth-int. (This was not noticed
1335 sooner because no one actually supports qop=auth-int, and
1336 the server in question here was probably confused. :)
1338 * Updated cookie parsing/output to more closely match
1339 draft-ietf-httpstate-cookie-00. [Also fixes #603496 (WebKit
1340 unit test), and #604794 (hang parsing malformed Set-Cookie
1343 * Fixed https-via-proxy to not hang if there is an error
1344 communicating with the proxy immediately after the TLS
1345 negotiation. [#587528]
1347 * Fixed a bug that broke gobject-introspection's introspection
1348 of libsoup. [#603696, Vincent Untz]
1350 * Handle spurious CR/LFs between responses. [#602863,
1351 Alexander V. Butenko]
1353 * Fixed soup-message-client-io to not erroneously include URI
1354 fragments on the Request-Line when sending via a proxy.
1355 [Related to WebKit bug #28687]
1357 * Fixed Digest authentication against certain (buggy?)
1358 clients/servers that require you to use quotes in exactly the
1359 same places where the spec uses them. [#582219]
1361 * Fix ugly gtype-related hack to work with the latest unstable
1362 glib. [Benjamin Otte]
1364 Changes in libsoup from 2.28.1 to 2.29.3:
1366 * Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite when using cookie
1367 databases not created by libsoup (eg, upgraded epiphany
1368 installations). [Patch from Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]
1370 * Fixed SoupCookieJar to handle non-http URIs properly (so
1371 that, eg, JavaScript bookmarklets that try to set/read
1372 cookies won't cause crashes). [#602498]
1374 * HEAD requests that receive a "303 See Other" response will
1375 now do a HEAD, not a GET, on the redirected-to resource.
1376 Fixes gvfs access to some sites, including certain
1377 youtube.com URIs. [#600830]
1379 * Fixed a g_warning that would always trigger in the
1380 server-side SoupCookie code. [#602389]
1382 * Fixed the server-side SoupMultipart code to be able to parse
1383 multiparts containing binary attachments, rather than
1384 rejecting them as malformed. [#601640]
1386 * Fixed the Request-Line format in the https-over-proxy case.
1387 Among other things, this fixes access to bugzilla.gnome.org
1388 from WebKitGTK-based browsers. [#598277, #600826]
1390 * Fixed a leak in SoupSession if a message was cancelled while
1391 the initial socket connection was in progress. [#596074,
1392 debugged by Arnout Vandecappelle]
1394 * Fixed server-side parsing of Digest auth. [#602898, Chris
1397 * Fixed WinSock initialization on Windows. [#600689, Tor
1400 * Fixed a sporadic crash in the SSL code on Windows. [#600748,
1403 * Fixed handling of https connections with timeouts on
1404 Windows. [#600749, Tor Lillqvist]
1406 * Added soup_session_prepare_for_uri(), to allow DNS
1407 prefetching for faster browsing. [#598948, José Millán Soto]
1409 * SoupSession now avoids redundant DNS lookups again when
1410 first connecting to a new site, resulting in (probably
1411 imperceptibly) faster loads.
1413 * Added some debugging APIs to SoupConnection and SoupSession
1414 for use by, eg, epiphany's soup-fly extension. [#589163,
1417 Changes in libsoup from 2.28.0 to 2.28.1:
1419 * libsoup will now attempt to make multiple connections to a
1420 server at once when there are multiple messages queued to
1421 that server. The previous behavior (only allowing a single
1422 pending connection to each server) resulted in slow load
1423 times on pages with lots of subresources (images, css, js,
1424 etc) on servers that disallow persistent connections.
1427 * There should now be fewer (no?) "Connection terminated
1428 unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK.
1430 * Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite [#596859, patch from
1433 * Fixed soup_address_get_physical() and address-to-name
1434 resolution of SoupAddress [patch from Enrico Tröger].
1436 * Fixed a bug in SoupContentSniffer that could cause false
1437 negatives [#597545, patch from Alejandro Castro].
1439 * Fixed the configure error if you have gnutls-devel but not
1440 gcrypt-devel installed [#587709].
1442 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.92 to 2.28.0:
1444 * Fixed a handful of leaks found with valgrind, including a
1445 large one in SoupContentSniffer [WebKit bug 28148].
1447 * Changed the behavior of SoupCookieJarSqlite to improve
1448 performance. [#584522, patch from Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1450 * Fixed a crash in SoupSocket that affected gupnp. [#594951,
1451 patch from Olivier Crête]
1453 * Fixed the type of the SOUP_METHOD_* and SOUP_URI_SCHEME_*
1454 macros to be const char * rather than gpointer. [#594508]
1456 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.91 to 2.27.92:
1458 * Removed SoupPasswordManager from the public API until its
1459 problems can be addressed. Although it is still present, you
1460 need to #define a special symbol for it to be visible in the
1461 header files; see #594377 for details.
1463 * Fixed a bug where empty query components were dropped from
1466 * Fixed "make check" to work (but warn) when building with
1469 * Fixed some small documentation bugs pointed out by Dominik
1470 Bylica and Lucian Langa.
1472 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.90 to 2.27.91:
1474 * Added SoupPasswordManager, an interface for managing
1475 persistent password storage, and SoupPasswordManagerGNOME
1476 (in libsoup-gnome), which implements it using gnome-keyring.
1477 tests/get.c provides a minimal example of how to use it.
1479 * libsoup should now notice when the server closes a
1480 persistent connection, and close its side of the connection
1481 sooner. This should hopefully fix the spurious "Connection
1482 terminated unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK. [#578990]
1484 * Fixed some problems with connection management in
1485 SoupSession that could cause a session to eventually "stall"
1486 and be unable to process new requests. [#592084]
1488 * Fixed an infinite loop that caused 100% CPU usage if the
1489 network went down at exactly the right time while there were
1490 unsent messages in the queue. [#592492]
1492 * Fixed a crash in SoupLogger. [#591857]
1494 * Fixed the definition of soup_message_is_keepalive() for
1495 HTTP/1.0 messages, to fix a problem introduced in 2.27.90
1496 where some messages would load completely but never emit
1499 * Fixed a crash in SoupServer introduced in 2.27.90 when
1500 processing a request with no "Host" header.
1502 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.5 to 2.27.90:
1504 * libsoup now uses glib's GResolver rather than its own DNS
1505 code. For 2.27.90, the only visible change should be that
1506 internationalized domain names are now supported. [#548287]
1508 * Added soup_message_disable_feature(), which allows you to
1509 disable particular features (eg, cookies, proxy,
1510 content-sniffing, etc) on a per-message basis. [#574773]
1512 * It is now possible to implement "OPTIONS *" in a SoupServer;
1513 you must explicitly register a handler for "*" in order to
1516 * Ignore Content-Length on EOF-terminated responses, to match
1517 other browsers and therefore cope with broken servers that
1518 send the wrong length. [Patch from Benjamin Otte.]
1520 * Fixed the status code when trying to fetch an https URI with
1521 a non-gnutls build of libsoup. [#590464]
1523 * Fixed strict-aliasing warnings introduced in 2.27.4
1526 * Fixed some warnings noted by fortify [#591226] and -Wextra.
1528 * libsoup now uses automake 1.11's silent-rules support by
1529 default (if you are building with automake 1.11). Use
1530 "./configure --disable-silent-rules" or "make V=1" to
1533 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.4 to 2.27.5:
1535 * Fixed a crash when a web server redirected a request to a
1536 non-http URI (eg, "about:blank"). [#528882]
1538 * Fixed a hang when trying to create an attachment on certain
1539 bugzilla installations from epiphany. [#584645]
1541 * Fixed verification of V1 TLS certificates [#589323, Patrick
1544 * Fixed compile problems on Windows (in the ssl code), and on
1545 Linux (when the most recent version of gtk-doc was
1548 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.2 to 2.27.4:
1550 * Added SoupContentSniffer and the "content-sniffed" signal on
1551 SoupMessage, to do Content-Type sniffing per the HTML5 /
1552 draft-abarth-mime-sniff algorithm. [#572589, Gustavo Noronha
1555 * Updated the earlier SoupSession timeout fixes ([#574414],
1556 [#578928]) so that async connect() also times out [#588177,
1557 Mark Nauwelaerts] and SSL works on Windows again [#587910,
1560 * Fixed the behavior on a 301 response to a POST to match
1561 real-world usage rather than what the spec says. (We were
1562 doing the right thing on 302 and 303, but had missed 301.)
1565 * Changed configure so that if GNUTLS isn't found then it
1566 errors out, rather than silently building an SSL-less
1567 libsoup. Configure with --disable-ssl if you actually don't
1570 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.1 to 2.27.2:
1572 * Replaced SoupProxyResolver with SoupProxyURIResolver, which
1573 is a bit simpler, works with non-HTTP URIs (and so could be
1574 used by gvfsd-ftp) and supports proxy auth correctly.
1577 * Fixed SoupSession to not try to resolve http server
1578 hostnames when it's just going to pass the hostname off to a
1579 proxy server anyway. This fixes things on hosts that use a
1580 proxy for everything and have no working DNS config
1581 [#577532] and also makes WebKitGTK behave more like other
1582 browsers in terms of per-host connection limits (we now
1583 limit connections based on hostname rather than on IP
1586 We also no longer set the AI_CANONNAME flag when calling
1587 getaddrinfo(), which saves us a little bit of unnecessary
1588 network traffic. [Pointed out by Christophe Gillette on the
1591 * libsoup now always uses SSL 3.0 (not TLS 1.0 or 1.1) for
1592 https URIs, to work around problems with older servers that
1593 don't implement the (apparently quite confusing) TLS/SSL
1594 compatibility rules correctly. Makes a bunch of
1595 previously-inaccessible sites now accessible in WebKitGTK
1596 (notably PayPal) [#581342]. Will eventually be revisited, to
1597 first try TLS 1.1 and fall back if that fails.
1599 * Fixed Digest auth to (recent) Apple CalDAV servers.
1602 * Changed the way the SoupSession "authenticate" signal works
1603 a bit. We now never emit "authenticate" before sending a
1604 request, even if we know for sure that it's going to fail,
1605 because this makes the semantics of the authenticate handler
1606 too complicated (and because we'll only get into this
1607 situation if a previous call to the authenticate handler
1608 failed anyway). Fixes problems in WebKitGTK when you cancel
1609 a password dialog, and then later try to load the page
1610 again. [#583462, mostly figured out by Gustavo Noronha
1613 * Fixed a bug in the CRLF-vs-LF patch (#571283) that caused
1614 libsoup to fail to parse the response headers (returning
1615 SOUP_STATUS_MALFORMED) if a CR LF got split across two
1618 * Allow using PUT in soup_form_request_for_data(), to work
1619 with certain broken web APIs. [#581860, Ross Burton]. Also,
1620 fixed a problem with empty POST bodies that made some parts
1621 of gmail not work in WebKitGTK.
1623 * Applied some minor bugfixes to configure.in and autogen.sh
1624 [#583911, #583942]. Fixed configure.in to not use gcc
1625 warning options that the installed version of gcc doesn't
1626 recognize [#578851].
1628 * Added G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED and G_GNUC_PRINTF to a few
1629 methods that should have had them. [#581754, Ross Burton]
1631 Changes in libsoup from 2.26.1 to 2.27.1:
1633 * SOUP_SESSION_TIMEOUT now works properly with
1634 SoupSessionAsync [#574414] and SSL [#578928]. Added
1635 tests/timeout-test to test this.
1639 * soup_date_to_string() now handles SOUP_DATE_RFC2822
1640 [#579055, Enrico Tröger]
1642 * soup_date_new_from_string() now accepts 24:00 as a
1643 time in ISO8601 timestamps
1645 * soup_date_to_string() now coerces the date to UTC
1646 for HTTP and cookie dates, and outputs the UTC
1647 correct offset for the other date types.
1649 * Added regression tests to tests/date
1651 * soup_headers_parse() now completely ignores
1652 syntactically-incorrect headers, rather than passing them to
1653 soup_message_headers_append() and causing a g_warning.
1654 soup_message_headers_append() now also rejects 0-length
1655 header names. Updated tests/header-parsing to check this.
1658 * Fix a crash when cancelling a message from a "restarted"
1659 handler, and updated a regression test to notice the
1660 underlying cause. [#580193]
1662 * Completing the API updates for #576760 from 2.26.1,
1663 soup_message_headers_get() is now marked deprecated in favor
1664 of soup_message_headers_get_one() and _get_list().
1666 Changes in libsoup from 2.26.0 to 2.26.1:
1668 * libsoup uses libproxy for PAC and WPAD proxy resolution
1669 again. However, it arranges to do all communication with
1670 GConf itself, to ensure that libproxy doesn't call it in
1671 non-thread-safe ways. [#571527] Also, fixed a bug in
1672 SoupSessionSync when proxy resolution failed. [#574957,
1673 patch from Milan Crha].
1675 (Also fixed three SoupProxyResolverGNOME bugs since the
1676 2.26.0.9 preview release. [#578746, #578809])
1678 * SoupURI now handles unencoded spaces in URIs. In particular,
1679 redirects via Location headers with spaces in them now work.
1682 * libsoup can now deal with servers (and clients) that
1683 erroneously use LF LF instead of CR LF CR LF to separate
1684 the headers and body. [#571283]
1686 * Added soup_message_headers_get_one() and
1687 soup_message_headers_get_list(), which will eventually
1688 deprecate soup_message_headers_get(). This lets applications
1689 deal correctly with implementations that erroneously send
1690 multiple copies of single-valued headers. [#576760]
1692 * In particular, soup_message_headers_get_content_type() now
1693 ignores duplicate Content-Type headers [#576760] and also
1694 ignores syntactically-incorrect Content-Type headers.
1697 * SoupCookieJar can now store multiple cookies with the same
1698 domain and name, but different paths. [#577360]
1700 * Abnormal SSL connection closes are now treated as ordinary
1701 EOFs, for compatibility with certain sites. [#577386]
1703 * soup_header_g_string_append_param() now allows NULL values.
1706 * soup_message_headers_append() now rejects header names and
1707 values with newlines or certain other illegal data in them,
1708 rather than generating syntactically invalid headers.
1710 * Fixed a small bug in soup_date_new_from_string's ISO 8601
1711 handling [qv #578369 for g_time_val_from_iso8601].
1713 * The regression tests now work correctly on machines where
1714 "localhost" resolves to "::1" instead of "127.0.0.1".
1715 [#576583, patch from Andreas Rottmann]
1717 * Fixed warnings when a message has a network problem when
1718 many other messages are queued. [#578809]
1720 * Miscellaneous documentation fixes/clarifications.
1722 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.91 to 2.26.0:
1724 * Temporarily disable libproxy support to work around a bug in
1725 its gnome plugin that causes gvfsd-http (and probably
1726 eventually other apps) to crash. [#571527]. For now,
1727 SoupProxyResolverGNOME uses only GConf. To be fixed in
1730 * Fixed a bug that showed up in WebKit, where if many messages
1731 were queued all at once to a server that doesn't support
1732 persistent connections, some of the requests will get lost.
1733 #574365, reported by Xan Lopez.
1735 * Fixed SoupServer to support using SOUP_ENCODING_EOF, so you
1736 can stream responses of unknown length to HTTP/1.0 clients.
1737 [#572153]. Added a regression test for this, and for chunked
1738 and Content-Length-based streaming.
1740 * Fixed several bugs that prevented SoupCookieJarSqlite from
1741 working. [#572409, patch from Xan Lopez]
1743 * Added G_{BEGIN,END}_DECLS guards to public headers that were
1744 missing it. (Xan Lopez)
1746 * Misc gtk-doc improvements
1748 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.5 to 2.25.91:
1750 * Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGNOME when the proxy
1751 requires authentication. (This does not make proxy
1752 authentication *work* yet, it just makes it not crash.)
1754 * Updated documentation
1756 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.4 to 2.25.5:
1758 * SoupProxyResolverGConf (which was incomplete) is gone, and
1759 libsoup-gnome now requires libproxy, which is now officially
1760 an external dependency of GNOME.
1762 * Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJar that was making it send
1763 "Cookie: (null)" when it had no cookies for a site, which
1764 confused some web servers (WebKit bug 23240).
1766 * Fixed a bug with using SOUP_MEMORY_TEMPORARY buffers and
1767 soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE). (Part of WebKit bug
1768 18343, noticed by Gustavo Noronha Silva.)
1770 * Fixed the build with non-gcc compilers
1772 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.3 to 2.25.4:
1774 * Added soup_session_get_feature() and
1775 soup_session_get_features(), to query the features currently
1776 available in a session (which is needed by the patch in
1777 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22624)
1779 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.2 to 2.25.3:
1781 * Fixed a crash when using both cookies and a proxy. [#562191,
1784 * Fixed soup_form_decode() to correctly handle forms with
1785 URI-encoded parameter names [#563302, Evan Nemerson] and
1786 added a regression test.
1788 * Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGConf. [#563145]
1790 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.1 to 2.25.2:
1792 * Fixed client behavior when presented with multiple auth
1793 types to choose the *strongest* auth type (eg, Digest)
1794 rather than the *weakest* one [#562339, Pontus Oldberg].
1795 Added a regression test for this.
1797 * Moved libsoup-gnome headers to a different directory to make
1798 it easier to split libsoup and libsoup-gnome into separate
1799 packages, and to ensure that things that only want to be
1800 looking at plain libsoup headers (like gir-repository) don't
1801 accidentally see the libsoup-gnome ones.
1803 * Some minor doc fixes
1805 * Fixed libsoup-gnome linking with --as-needed. [#559342]
1807 Changes in libsoup from 2.24.1 to 2.25.1:
1809 libsoup 2.25.1 introduces a new library, libsoup-gnome, which
1810 will be used for features which are important to GNOME apps,
1811 but which require GNOME-specific libraries that non-GNOME apps
1812 may not want to add dependencies on.
1814 In 2.25.1, libsoup-gnome contains:
1816 * SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME, a SoupSessionFeature
1817 type that can be added to a SoupSession to provide
1818 automatic proxy handling via the GConf proxy keys. (See
1819 below) The default implementation uses libproxy, which
1820 also handles WPAD, PAC, etc, but if libproxy is not
1821 available it will use GConf directly, supporting only
1822 the basic HTTP proxy functionality.
1824 * SoupCookieJarSqlite, a SoupSessionFeature that handles
1825 cookies and stores them in a Firefox 3-compatible sqlite
1826 file. (This is not actually a "GNOME-specific" feature,
1827 but I didn't want to make libsoup itself depend on
1828 sqlite, and I didn't want to make the dependency
1829 optional. This might change before 2.26.)
1831 * SOUP_TYPE_GNOME_FEATURES_2_26: a SoupSessionFeature type
1832 that can be added to a SoupSession to add all
1833 GNOME-integration features that are available for 2.26;
1834 as of 2.25.1, this is just the GNOME proxy resolver, but
1835 by 2.26.0 it may also include gnome-keyring support and
1836 possibly other features.
1838 Applications/libraries that are currently doing GConf proxy
1839 lookup by hand can be updated as follows:
1841 * Remove all of the existing code that listens to the
1842 GConf keys and sets SOUP_SESSION_PROXY_URI
1844 * Change the configure check to require
1845 "libsoup-gnome-2.4 >= 2.25.1" instead of "libsoup-2.4"
1847 * #include <libsoup/soup-gnome.h>
1849 * After creating your SoupSession, do:
1851 soup_session_add_feature_by_type (session, SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME);
1853 (Or alternatively, use SOUP_SESSION_ADD_FEATURE_BY_TYPE
1854 with soup_session_async_new_with_options() or
1855 soup_session_sync_new_with_options().)
1858 Other new features and bug fixes in 2.25.1 include:
1860 * SoupCookieJarText, like SoupCookieJarSqlite, but using the
1861 old-style cookies.txt format, and in the base libsoup rather
1864 * Various bugfixes to SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar to fix the
1865 problems with cookies not working on certain sites.
1867 * The new SoupMultipart type provides support for multipart
1868 MIME bodies, and soup-form now includes several methods for
1869 generating and parsing multipart form data and file uploads.
1871 * SoupMessageHeaders now has methods for easy handling of the
1872 Content-Type, Content-Disposition, Range, and Content-Range
1873 headers. The Content-Disposition handling recognizes
1874 RFC2231-encoded UTF-8 filenames.
1876 * SoupServer now automatically handles partial GET requests;
1877 if your server returns SOUP_STATUS_OK in response to a
1878 partial GET, libsoup will automatically convert it to a
1879 SOUP_STATUS_PARTIAL_CONTENT response with only the requested
1882 Thanks to Xan Lopez and Diego Escalante Urrelo for their work
1883 on SoupCookie, SoupCookieJar, SoupCookieJarText, and
1884 SoupCookieJarSqlite.
1886 Changes in libsoup from 2.24.0.1 to 2.24.1:
1888 * Fixed a crash when unreffing the session from a
1889 soup_session_queue_message() callback [#533473], and added
1890 regression test. In particular, this fixes a crash in
1891 seahorse when trying to connect to a non-responsive
1894 * Fixed an infinite loop when giving a bad password to a site
1895 that uses non-standard capitalization in the
1896 WWW-Authenticate header (eg, gmail.com) [#536285].
1898 * Fixed a leak in SoupSessionAsync when using a non-default
1899 GMainContext. [addendum to #498509, Arnout Vandecappelle]
1900 Added additional code to the regression tests to make sure
1901 sessions and servers do not get leaked.
1903 * Fixed a leak in the XML-RPC code
1905 * Compile fixes for "gcc -pedantic" [#553976, Sander Dijkhuis]
1906 and -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED / -DG_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES
1907 [#557072, Cosimo Cecchi]
1909 * Patched xmlrpc-test to accept the incorrect response to
1910 test_echo() that php-xmlrpc gives when it's built against
1911 libxml2 >= 2.7.1 (qv http://bugs.php.net/45996), so that
1912 I can "make distcheck"...
1914 * Updated generated documentation
1916 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.92 to 2.24.0.1:
1918 * Reverted part of the fix for #528882, which caused the DAAP
1919 plugin in rhythmbox to crash. [#553466]
1921 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.91 to 2.23.92:
1923 * Fixed the handling of a 302 response to a HEAD request,
1924 which should NOT be treated like a 303 response. [#551190,
1927 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.6 to 2.23.91:
1929 * Fixed a crash in gvfs [#528882], though there is still an
1930 unknown bug there. As part of this fix, libsoup will now
1931 return an error if you try to do an operation on a non-HTTP
1932 URI. (Previously it was just treating any URI scheme except
1935 * Added soup_date_to_timeval() for gvfs. [#549006, patch from
1938 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.1 to 2.23.6:
1940 * Fixed use of g_idle_add() so that heavy I/O won't end up
1941 blocking libsoup callbacks. [#536676, Benjamin Otte]
1943 * Allow the caller to override the Host header. [#539803, Marc
1946 * Properly handle responses larger than 4G. [#539861, Peter
1949 * Fixed the build when using certain LDFLAGS [#541506, Götz
1952 * Fixed a small bug in Digest auth handling. [#544681, Mads
1955 * Fixed multiple Windows bugs [Tor Lillqvist]
1957 Changes in libsoup from 2.4.1 to 2.23.1:
1959 * This is the first unstable release leading up to GNOME 2.24.
1960 Bumped the libsoup version number up to 2.23.x to match the
1961 GNOME version; note that the API version is still "2.4",
1962 meaning in particular that you still call it "libsoup-2.4"
1963 when using pkg-config.
1965 * Added SoupSessionFeature, an interface type that will be
1966 used for several new features. Ported SoupLogger and
1967 SoupAuthManager to use it.
1969 * Added SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar. This API is already
1970 being used in Epiphany, via WebKit, but it is not yet
1973 * Fixed GnuTLS support on Win32. [#528752, Marc Maurer]
1975 Changes in libsoup from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1:
1977 * Fixed SoupMessage to not downgrade to HTTP/1.0 for the
1978 second attempt when it receives an HTTP/1.0 redirect or 401.
1979 [#521848, Tommu Komulainen]
1981 * Fixed Host: header syntax when the host is an IPv6 address
1984 * Fixed SoupSession to not emit "authenticate" multiple times
1985 for messages that have been requeued. [#522601, Tommi
1986 Komulainen]. Also added two new signals to SoupSession,
1987 request-queued and request-unqueued, to help simplify
1988 certain session-helpers and avoid bugs like this in the
1991 * Fixed soup_server_pause_message() to actually work (rather
1992 than *un*pausing the message).
1994 * Added a property SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT that can be used
1995 to set a timeout after which idle connections will
1996 automatically be closed. [#518214, Jorn Baayen]
1998 * Implemented RFC 2069-style Digest auth, and fixed SoupAuth
1999 to compare auth scheme names case-insensitively, to fix
2000 authentication against Apple's calendar server. [#498484]
2002 * Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDomainDigest if the client provided
2003 an unrecognized username. [pointed out by Curtis Magyar on
2006 * Fixed a few SoupDate bugs. (In particular, it was outputting
2007 the wrong day of the week when stringifying dates.)
2009 * Improved the cleanup of idle connections, to fix slow load
2010 times with the libsoup backend of WebKit.
2012 * Added a new SoupMessage signal "wrote-body-data" that can be
2013 used for progress information when sending a large request
2014 body. Also allow providing the request body in multiple
2015 chunks even when using Content-Length encoding. [#525101,
2018 * libsoup now ignores SIGPIPE globally, instead of
2019 un-thread-safe-ly ignoring it only around network writes. In
2020 particular, this means it is ignored when the SSL code needs
2021 to unexpectedly do a write when we asked it to do a read.
2022 [#524397, Curtis Magyar]
2024 * The discard-body-chunks-once-they're-no-longer-needed
2025 behavior, confusingly called SOUP_MESSAGE_OVERWRITE_CHUNKS,
2026 is now controlled by a SoupMessageBody method
2027 (soup_message_body_set_accumulate()), and can be applied to
2028 either the request body or the response body.
2029 (OVERWRITE_CHUNKS is still available for backward
2030 compatibility.) [#522146, Christian Kellner]
2032 * The DNS cache no longer caches "no such host" results, since
2033 some name servers lie to clients outside their firewall,
2034 which could then cause problems for laptops moved between
2035 networks. [#523269, Jörgen Scheibengruber]
2037 * Added some new regression tests, fixed some small bugs in
2040 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.4 to 2.4.0:
2042 * Fixed a small memory leak in SoupSession. [#518798, Wouter
2045 * Minor fixes to redirect behavior; PROPFINDs can now be
2046 automatically redirected (pointed out by Christian Kellner),
2047 and 302 is treated like 307, not 303. Also fixed to make
2048 sure that redirect-test actually gets run by "make check".
2050 * The SoupSocket I/O methods now set nread/nwrote even on
2051 error. [Benjamin Otte]
2053 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.2 to 2.3.4:
2055 * The documentation should be accessible from devhelp again
2056 [#518384, Mart Raudsepp]. (Also fixed another
2057 documentation-generation bug that affected builds from svn,
2058 but not the 2.3.2 tarball for some reason. [#518317,
2061 * Fixed dependencies in libsoup-2.4.pc file [#517631,
2064 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.0.1 to 2.3.2:
2066 API changes / Behavior changes:
2068 * soup_server_add_auth_domain() now refs the auth domain when
2069 adding it. (soup_server_remove_auth_domain() already
2070 unreffed it.) This means existing applications using
2071 SoupAuthDomain will now have a small memory leak. Those
2072 applications should update their libsoup-2.4 requirement to
2073 ">= 2.3.2" at some point before the final GNOME 2.22.0
2074 release, and then fix the code to unref the auth domain
2075 after adding it to the server.
2077 * SoupSession's automatic redirect-handling behavior now obeys
2078 RFC 2616 more closely. In particular, status codes 300 and
2079 304 are no longer mistakenly considered redirects; POSTs
2080 that receive 303 are now redirected into GETs; and POSTs
2081 that receive 301, 302, or 307 are now not redirected.
2083 Applications that were using the SOUP_MESSAGE_NO_REDIRECT
2084 flag to prevent libsoup from redirecting POSTs incorrectly
2085 before should now be able to remove that if they depend on
2086 libsoup-2.4 >= 2.3.2.
2090 * Added a SOUP_SESSION_USER_AGENT property to SoupSession, and
2091 SOUP_SERVER_SERVER_HEADER to SoupServer, to support
2092 automatically adding "User-Agent" and "Server" headers to
2093 messages. (The default behavior is to do nothing, as
2096 * Added several new methods to soup-forms.h. Applications that
2097 are encoding a fixed set of form fields can now just pass
2098 them to soup_form_encode(), rather than needing to construct
2099 a GHashTable or GData list. (Likewise, the new
2100 soup_uri_set_query_from_fields() behaves similarly for
2101 directly updating a URI with form data.) There are also now
2102 soup_form_request_new() and other related methods, to
2103 directly create a GET or POST SoupMessage for submitting a
2106 The original soup_form_* methods have all been renamed,
2107 although #defines exist for backward compatibility.
2109 * Added soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() and
2110 soup_buffer_new_with_owner(), to give applications more
2111 control over memory usage/copying when doing streaming HTTP.
2112 [Wouter Cloetens, #513810].
2114 * Added several new methods to soup-value-utils.h for working
2115 with multiple array or hash table values at once:
2116 soup_value_hash_new_with_vals(),
2117 soup_value_hash_insert_vals(),
2118 soup_value_hash_lookup_vals(),
2119 soup_value_array_new_with_vals(), and
2120 soup_value_array_append_vals().
2122 This helps to simplify XML-RPC calls that send or receive
2125 * Added soup_date_to_time_t().
2127 * Added SoupMessageHeadersIterator, an iterator type for
2128 SoupMessageHeaders that can be used instead of
2129 soup_message_headers_foreach().
2133 * Fixed a crash-when-idle in evolution-exchange [#437835] and
2134 rhythmbox [#506552].
2136 * Added the API version to the gtk-doc installation dir, to
2137 prevent parallel-installation problems with libsoup 2.2 and
2138 2.4. [#512810, Daniel Gryniewicz].
2140 * Fixed tests/query-test to compile correctly on Solaris.
2141 [#513602, patch from Jeff Cai]
2143 * Fixed some other minor HTTP conformance issues.
2147 * Although not present in the release tarball, there are now
2148 experimental python bindings for libsoup in GNOME subversion
2149 (in the python/ subdirectory of libsoup trunk). These are
2150 not yet stable (and are not built by default or installed
2151 even when building from svn), but comments on them are
2152 welcome at libsoup-list@gnome.org
2154 Changes in libsoup from the 2.2 series to 2.3.0.1:
2156 libsoup 2.3.0 is the first beta release of the libsoup 2.4
2157 series. It is an API break from the earlier 2.2 series that
2158 fixes various bugs and API warts and lays the groundwork for
2159 language bindings and various new features in upcoming
2162 (2.3.0.1 is identical to the 2.3.0 release in terms of code,
2163 but includes this updated NEWS file which was accidentally
2164 left out of the 2.3.0 tarball.)
2166 http://library.gnome.org/devel/libsoup/unstable/libsoup-porting-2.2-2.4.html
2167 goes over the API changes in detail. If you have questions not
2168 answered by the porting document, please send mail to
2169 libsoup-list@gnome.org.
2171 Specific user-reported bugs fixed in this release:
2173 * SoupURI now correctly handles URIs with complex encoded
2174 queries [#266516, Jean-Yves Lefort]
2176 * It is now possible for a SoupServer to use Digest auth
2177 without needing to have the cleartext password available.
2178 [#347108, Anas Nashif]
2180 * Digest authentication now properly handles "stale=true" and
2181 "nextnonce=..." [#471380, Jari Urpalainen]
2183 * SoupServer is now subclassible [#491653, Mathias Hasselmann]
2185 * soup_server_run_async and soup_server_quit no longer ref and
2186 unref the server, as that doesn't match ordinary GObject
2187 conventions [#494128, Mathias Hasselmann]
2189 * The test programs no longer use a symbol name that conflicts
2190 with Cygwin [#501631, Cygwin Ports Maintainer]
2192 * libsoup can now handle the not-quite-HTTP responses returned
2193 by Shoutcast servers [#502325, Wouter Cloetens]
2195 * If you use libsoup while disconnected from the network, it
2196 no longer caches the failed DNS results [#508593, Bradley
2199 Items from http://live.gnome.org/LibSoup/ToDo fixed:
2201 * "Expect: 100-continue" processing now works correctly on
2202 both client and server.
2204 * SoupSessions are no longer leaked
2206 * The XML-RPC API is improved. The SOAP API is gone...
2208 * Added utility functions for HTML form handling
2210 * Improved message header handling
2212 * SoupServer now automatically adds a "Date" header
2216 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.103 to 2.2.104:
2218 * soup_message_io_pause() and soup_message_io_pause() are now
2219 allowed for client messages (and in particular, they don't
2220 mess up when called from the "got_chunk" callback).
2221 [#452280, Marco Barisione]
2223 * Fixed some bugs in SOUP_SESSION_ASYNC_CONTEXT support that
2224 would cause parts of an operation to run in the default
2225 context rather than the session's context. Also fixed some
2226 leaks and added a regression test. [#498509, Wouter
2229 * There is a new test/sample program, tests/pull-api.c,
2230 showing how to implement a pull API using SoupSessionAsync.
2231 (This depends on the fixes for #452280 and #498509, so it
2232 won't work with older versions of libsoup.)
2234 * Discovered "valgrind --leak-resolution=med" and fixed some
2237 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.102 to 2.2.103:
2239 * Fix memory corruption in SoupSessionAsync that caused
2240 rhythmbox to crash. [#484988, patch from Rob Bradford]
2242 * Fix socket refcounting in SoupServer to fix warnings /
2243 possible crash. [#459896, Emanuele Aina]
2245 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.101 to 2.2.102:
2247 * Unbreak the build when building without SSL. Not that you
2248 should be building without SSL anyway, but... (reported by
2251 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.100 to 2.2.101:
2253 * Fix build on cygwin [384498]
2255 * Fix SSL rehandshaking on synchronous sockets [415402, Jacob
2256 Berkman] and add a regression test for it.
2258 * Fix two bugs in https tunnels over proxies that require
2259 authentication (noticed by Varadhan), and add a regression
2262 * Ensure that if you queue multiple messages at once to an
2263 http server that requires authentication but that you
2264 haven't authenticated to yet, that all of the messages get
2265 properly authenticated [271540, James Willcox]. And add a
2266 regression test for it.
2268 * Fix NTLM authentication, which got broken by the previous
2269 fix. [471389, Varadhan]. Add a basic NTLM regression test
2270 that doesn't really test the crypto/encoding parts, but at
2271 least makes sure that the message flow is correct.
2273 * Allow trailing whitespace after HTTP version in
2274 Response-Line, for compatibility with broken servers
2275 [475169, Stephane Loeuillet]. Add that case to the
2276 header-parsing regression test.
2278 * Fix crash when the session's "authenticate" handler returns
2279 a username and no password when using NTLM. [480987, Wendell
2282 * Use "new" glib base64 and iso8601 methods rather than
2283 duplicating them. [337010, patch from Emmanuele Bassi].
2285 * Implement soup_session_queue_message() for SoupSessionSync.
2287 * Add G_BEGIN_DECLS / G_END_DECLS to all headers that were
2288 missing them. [438776, patch from Jonathon Jongsma].
2290 * Fix broken definition of SOUP_IS_MESSAGE_FILTER_CLASS. Noted
2291 by "cascardo" on libsoup-list.
2293 * Remove documentation of non-public MD5 methods [440092,
2294 Jonathon Jongsma]. Removed a mysterious half-sentence in the
2295 SoupMessage docs [458116, Marco Barisione].
2297 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.99 to 2.2.100:
2299 * Fixed soup_headers_parse_status_line() so WebDAV response
2300 parsing will work again. [406997]
2302 * Fixed a bug in the header-parsing regression test that
2303 caused the test to fail sometimes, even though the actual
2304 header-parsing code was fine.
2306 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.98 to 2.2.99:
2308 * Fixed header parsing, including a crash in SoupServer with
2309 certain malformed requests [391970].
2311 * Fixed redirection to other hosts with SoupSessionAsync.
2314 * Fixed a small memory leak pointed out by Chris Austin.
2316 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.97 to 2.2.98:
2318 * The XML-RPC code now correctly interprets <value>foo</value>
2319 as meaning the same thing as
2320 <value><string>foo</string></value>. [364490] Pointed out by
2323 * Memory leak fixes from Andrew W. Nosenko.
2325 * A few symbols that should have been static before now are.
2326 [376387] Patch from Matthias Clasen.
2328 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.96 to 2.2.97:
2330 * Fixed SOAP and XML-RPC code to handle whitespace and
2331 comments in the XML better. (Based on a patch from Andrew W.
2334 * Fixed lots of typecasting/constness warnings in the code
2335 (mostly via a patch from Andrew W. Nosenko)
2337 * Fixed build on Cygwin [321827]
2339 * Fixed libsoup-2.2.pc fields [343340] and make it get
2340 uninstalled correctly [356809]. (Mikhail Zabaluev and
2343 * Fixed some small leaks in SoupServer pointed out by Paolo
2346 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.95.1 to 2.2.96:
2348 * SoupServer now works even if you don't explicitly set an
2349 encoding for the response. (In particular, the automatic 404
2350 if you request a path with no handlers now works. Problem
2351 pointed out by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn.)
2353 * WWW-Authenticate and Proxy-Authenticate responses with no
2354 realm parameter are now ignored, as per RFC 2617, fixing a
2355 crash pointed out by Nate Nielsen.
2357 * Added soup_xmlrpc_message_from_string(), from Fernando
2360 * simple-httpd and "get" now support HEAD
2362 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.94 to 2.2.95.1:
2364 * Even more fixes to XML-RPC, found by the new XML-RPC
2365 regression test. This includes some API changes that I don't
2366 feel guilty about, because the code totally didn't work at
2369 * Fixed a bug in soup_mktime_utc()
2371 * (2.2.95 was identical to 2.2.95.1. The only difference is
2372 that the shared library version was belatedly bumped from
2373 8.2.0 to 8.3.0 to reflect the API "additions")
2375 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.93 to 2.2.94:
2377 * Various fixes to the XML-RPC code (which apparently had not
2378 actually ever worked before) from Brent Smith. [343973,
2381 * Added client and server API tutorials to the docs
2383 * auth-test now uses a local Apache 2.2 install, if possible,
2384 rather than depending on files that used to be on an old
2385 Ximian web server but haven't been anywhere for a long time.
2388 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.92 to 2.2.93:
2390 * Fixed outgoing data corruption caused when SoupServer
2391 started writing out a response a second time after already
2392 having started once. [334469]. Also fixed 342640 and another
2393 bug caused by the workaround for 334469 in 2.2.92. Based on
2394 patches and analysis from William Jon McCann and Armin
2397 * Fixed a deadlock when changing a session's proxy URI.
2398 [309867 / bnc 174255, based on a patch by Veerapuram
2401 * Fixed https-via-proxies in the synchronous case. [bnc 174255]
2403 * Fixed a crash in evolution-exchange [342545, fix based on an
2404 analysis by Wang Xin].
2406 * Fixed simple-proxy to not crash at startup. Oops. (Alex
2409 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.91 to 2.2.92:
2411 * Fixed server-side digest auth to return a valid "algorithm"
2412 value and client-side to not crash if it sees an invalid one
2415 * Fixed the Request-Line parsing code to not hardcode a
2416 maximum URI length (to allow very long DAAP requests from
2417 iTunes in Rhythmbox). [335040]
2419 * Fixed some warnings (signed/unsigned mismatch).
2421 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.7 to 2.2.91:
2423 * (The large version number bump is because there was an
2424 internal 2.2.90 release for SUSE 10.1 alphas, which was
2425 supposed to be intermediate between 2.2.7 and 2.4.0. But
2426 2.4.0 didn't end up happening, and I don't want to regress
2427 the version number at this point.)
2429 * SoupSession, SoupServer, SoupConnection, SoupSocket, and
2430 SoupAddress now have an "async-context" property that allows
2431 you to use the async API in a non-default GMainContext.
2432 [Based on patches from Armin Bauer and Jürg Billeter.]
2434 * SoupSession, SoupConnection, and SoupSocket now have a
2435 "timeout" property to stop synchronous sockets from hanging
2436 forever if the remote end is unresponsive (from Varadhan).
2438 * Fixed some bugs in soup_date_iso8601_parse(). [324671, from
2441 * More Windows build fixes from Tor.
2443 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6.1 to 2.2.7:
2445 * Fixed a crash when using NTLM connections [316313, probably
2446 also 318252]. (Also 321208, which was a bug introduced in
2447 the original fix for 316313.)
2449 * Fixed a bug that could cause soup to suck up all available
2450 CPU when a connection to a SoupServer was dropped by the
2451 other side [319305, patch from Jonathan Matthew]
2453 * Fixed the creation of struct elements in XMLRPC messages
2454 [321362, patch from Sebastian Bauer]
2456 * Plugged a small memory leak in SoupSocket (from Wang Xin).
2458 * Fixed two compile problems, a gccism [320349, patch from
2459 Roland Illig], and a strict-aliasing warning from gcc 4.1.
2461 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6 to 2.2.6.1:
2463 * Fixed a crash when using SoupSoapMessage
2465 Changes from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6:
2467 * Fixed a crash when canceling a message (from Tambet Ingo)
2469 * Fixed a bug where a connection could be leaked forever in
2470 some circumstances if a request got a 30x, 401, or 407
2471 response, eventually causing a hang when the session hit its
2472 maximum connection limit. (Dan/Tambet)
2474 * Fixed a memory leak. (Tambet)
2476 * Fixed a bug that would sometimes show up when connecting to
2477 a server on localhost [#312540]
2479 * Added some API to SoupServer and SoupSocket to help fix a
2480 long-standing rcd bug.
2482 Changes from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5:
2484 * Win32 support (from Tor Lillqvist)
2486 * Up-to-date API documentation pretty much everywhere
2488 * Basic XMLRPC support (from Mariano Suarez-Alvarez, Fernando
2489 Herrera, and Jeff Bailey)
2491 * New HTTP timestamp-manipulation methods soup_date_parse,
2492 soup_date_generate, and soup_date_iso8601_parse.
2494 * SoupSession now handles relative URLs in the Location header
2495 (in violation of RFC 2616, but in line with how some servers
2498 Changes from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4:
2500 * Fixed a problem with NTLM authentication against
2501 multi-domain servers. [306877]
2503 * Fixed DNS lookups on Solaris. [254551, 268389]
2505 Changes from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3:
2507 * Now compiles against gnutls 1.2.0 [257811]
2509 * Fixed a bug that could result in 100% CPU usage if an SSL
2510 server closed the connection uncleanly. [273352]
2512 Changes from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2:
2514 * The SSL validation fix from 2.2.1 [264414] is now completely
2515 fixed. (Part of the fix didn't actually make it into 2.2.1)
2517 * HTTPS certificate validation now works when using an HTTP
2520 * HTTP proxy code deals better with proxies that try to make
2521 the user do HTML-form-based authentication. [268531]
2523 * 64-bit fixes for NTLM auth code. [270323, from Michael
2526 Changes from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1:
2528 * Updated for a libgcrypt API change between 1.1.9x and 1.2.x
2529 that caused a crash at runtime if you compiled against
2532 * SSL certificate validation failure should now always result
2533 in a status of SOUP_STATUS_SSL_FAILED, rather than getting
2534 turned into SOUP_STATUS_IO_ERROR. [264414]
2537 Changes in libsoup from the 2.0 series (1.99.x versions) to 2.2:
2539 * Most of the libsoup datatypes are now GObjects. (SoupUri
2540 is currently an exception to this.)
2542 * SoupMessage now emits signals at various stages of
2543 processing. (Eg, "wrote_body", "got_headers".) (You
2544 can also still use soup_message_add_*handler().)
2546 * SoupContexts are gone; soup_message_new() now takes a URI
2549 * All formerly global state is now maintained by the
2550 SoupSession object. (This includes the connection pool,
2551 proxy server, cached authentication information, SSL
2554 * You can create a SoupSessionAsync (for 2.0-like
2555 behavior) or SoupSessionSync (for blocking,
2558 * You can add SoupMessageFilter objects to a session
2559 to have certain processing automatically performed
2560 on every message sent via that session. (Eg, setting
2563 * NTLM authentication is no longer supported by
2564 default. You must enable it by setting the
2565 SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM flag on the session.
2567 * The preferred method of handling authentication is
2568 now via the "authenticate" and "reauthenticate"
2569 signals on SoupSession. (The old style, of encoding
2570 the user and password information into the url is
2571 also still supported.)
2573 * The SOUP_ERROR_* values are now SOUP_STATUS_* (so that we
2574 don't have "SOUP_ERROR_OK" and the like).
2576 * SOUP_MESSAGE_IS_ERROR() is gone, since some cases
2577 want to include 3xx responses and some don't.
2579 * SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE and
2580 SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE_PROXY are now gone,
2581 since they didn't carry any information that
2582 SOUP_STATUS_UNAUTHORIZED and
2583 SOUP_STATUS_PROXY_UNAUTHORIZED don't.
2585 * DNS errors now show up as the new status code
2586 SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than being mixed in
2587 with SOUP_ERROR_CANT_CONNECT.
2589 * Minimal SOAP support has been added back, via
2590 SoupSoapMessage/SoupSoapResponse
2592 * The HTTP I/O state machine was completely rewritten, fixing
2593 numerous crashes, leaks, and protocol errors.
2595 * SoupUri now conforms to RFC 2396. Mostly.
2597 * Various test programs have been added under tests/
2601 * Support for OpenSSL (which was horribly buggy) and
2602 Mozilla NSS (which was never finished). We only
2603 support GNUTLS for SSL now.
2607 * CGI support in SoupServer
