1 Changes in libsoup from 2.42.0 to 2.42.1:
3 * Fixed SoupProxyResolverDefault, which got broken in 2.42.92.
6 * Fixed a gigantic memory leak when using SoupCache. [#696594,
9 * Fixed a build problem on Windows. [#696354, Kalev Lember]
11 * Fixed ntlm-test to pass whether or not Samba ntlm_auth
12 support was compiled in. [#697510, Dan]
14 * New/updated translations:
17 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.92 to 2.42.0:
19 * Fixed a compiler warning on 32bit in a test program. [Kalev
22 * New/updated translations:
23 Hindi, Kannada, Korean, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Persian,
26 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.91 to 2.41.92:
28 * Fixed a bug that caused libsoup to retry an incorrect
29 password repeatedly, forever, in a certain case that
30 affected Google calendars in evolution in particuar.
31 [Red Hat bug #916224, Dan]
33 * Also added code to make such infinite retry loops impossible
36 * Fixed SoupRequestData's handling of URIs with "%00" in them.
37 [#695246, Žan Doberšek]
39 * Added the SoupSession:proxy-resolver property, to override
40 the GProxyResolver used by a session. (This means there are
41 now three different ways of controlling proxy resolution in
42 SoupSession... this will be cleaned up a bit after 2.42.)
45 * Added missing G_BEGIN_DECLS/G_END_DECLS to
46 soup-message-headers.h, so that its functions can be called
47 from C++. [Carlos Garcia Campos]
49 * Updated translations:
50 Assamese, Belarusian, Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan
51 (Valencian), Catalan, Danish, Estonian, French, Greek,
52 Gujarati, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Portuguese, Russian,
55 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.90 to 2.41.91:
57 * Fixed a crash that showed up with XMLRPC requests in
58 WebKitGTK. [#694920, Sergio]
60 * Fixed SoupCache to update the cached headers when it
61 receives a 304 Not Modified response, and added a test for
62 this. [#695121, Sergio]
64 * libsoup now builds under automake 1.13 (and "make check"
65 works under the parallel test harness which is the default
68 * The tests/ directory now contains only actual test programs
69 that are run by "make check", and the programs that are
70 intended more as example code are under examples/.
72 * New/updated translations:
73 Aragonese, Chinese (traditional), Czech, Galician, Hebrew,
74 Lithuanian, Norwegian bokmål, Punjabi, Spanish, Uyghur,
77 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.5 to 2.41.90:
79 * Added SoupSession:local-address property, which allows you
80 to force connections to bind to a particular local address
81 (eg, to control the interface that is used). [#693215, Jonh
84 * Fixed SoupCache to properly handle messages that get
85 cancelled, and added tests for this. [#692310, Sergio]
87 * Fixed a reference leak in SoupCache that resulted in
88 epiphany hanging for several seconds on exit and then
89 eventually printing "Cache flush finished despite X pending
90 requests". And added more tests. [#682527, Sergio]
92 * Fixed SoupAuthNTLM so that SoupSession:authenticate gets
93 emitted with retrying=TRUE if the first attempt fails (ie,
94 make it work the same way as SoupAuthBasic and
95 SoupAuthDigest). [#693222, Dan]
97 * Fixed the SoupSession:add-feature-by-type property to accept
98 non-SoupSessionFeature features as well (eg, auth types)
101 * Fixed a build bug that would break all the apache-based
102 tests if you didn't have PHP installed. [#693311, Dan]
104 * Updated translations:
105 Malayalam, Polish, Serbian, Slovak
107 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.4 to 2.41.5:
109 * Reverted the change to SoupURI's password handling from
110 2.41.4, since it turns out to have broken some things.
113 * Avoid a g_return_if_fail() when loading
114 SoupSession:ssl-ca-file fails. [#691930, Guillaume
117 * Fixed a bug in SoupBodyInputStream that caused redirects in
118 WebKitGTK to hang. [#692026, Sergio]
120 * Updated translations:
121 Belarusian, Chinese (traditional), German, Italian,
122 Norwegian bokmål, Serbian, Uyghur
124 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.3 to 2.41.4:
126 * Lots of docs fixes, including catching up with some (but not
127 all!) of the API additions and deprecations, and a new
128 chapter with hints on porting from
129 SoupSessionAsync/SoupSessionSync to the new-and-improved
132 * The plain SoupSession type now supports
133 soup_session_queue_message() (with SoupSessionAsync
134 semantics) and soup_session_send_message() (with
135 SoupSessionSync semantics), and there are now
136 soup_session_new() and soup_session_new_with_options().
138 * The mirroring of the SoupMessage API onto SoupRequestHTTP,
139 added in 2.41.3, has been reverted. However, new APIs
140 soup_session_send() and soup_session_send_async() have been
141 added that let you use the GInputStream-based API with
142 SoupMessages rather than SoupRequest, so if you're doing
143 HTTP-specific stuff, you can just use that instead.
145 * soup_message_get_https_status() now returns the certificate
146 and flags for unsuccessful https connections as well as
147 successful ones. [#690176]
149 * Fixed a deadlock when calling soup_session_abort() on a
150 SoupSessionSync in some cases. [#691399]
152 * Internal SoupCache rewrites/improvements [#682112, Sergio]
154 * Plugged a memory leak in SoupCache [#690382, Sudarsana
155 Nagineni] and one in SoupAuthDigest [#690142]
157 * LIBSOUP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED has been renamed to
158 SOUP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, but that's just to keep gtk-doc
159 happy, and you shouldn't use it. You should use
160 SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED instead.
162 * Fixed the samba-windbind-based NTLM support, which appears
163 to have been broken before.
165 * SoupAuthManager is now a public class (so you can remove it
166 as a feature from a session, or disable it for a particular
167 message). It also has a new method
168 soup_auto_manager_use_auth(), which can be used to "preload"
169 authentication for a host so that libsoup will use
170 authentication on the very first request.
172 * SoupURI now treats "http://user@example.com" as having a
173 password of "" rather than NULL, since a NULL password would
174 not be valid for any known HTTP auth type.
176 * build: libsoup now uses autoreconf instead of
177 gnome-autogen.sh, and no longer uses AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT
180 * Updated translations:
181 Assamese, Bulgarian, Estonian, Friulian, Galician, Hebrew,
182 Polish, Slovenian, Spanish
184 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.2 to 2.41.3 (codename: "I Left My
185 Deprecated APIs in A Coruña"):
187 * BUILD DEPENDENCY CHANGES: libsoup-gnome no longer depends on
188 libgnome-keyring, and the sqlite3 dependency has been moved
189 from libsoup-gnome to libsoup proper. (See below).
192 * SoupRequest is now stable API. SoupRequester, however, is
193 deprecated. Instead you can now call soup_session_request()
194 or soup_session_request_uri() to create a SoupRequest.
196 Some documentation has been updated to reflect this, but
197 much more still needs to be (in particular the "Client-side
200 * SoupRequestHTTP now has a number of fields and methods that
201 mirror the SoupMessage data, so you don't have to use
202 soup_request_http_get_message() in many cases. On the flip
203 side, there is also now soup_message_get_request(). And you
204 can create a SoupRequestHTTP directly (and override its
205 request method) by using soup_session_request_http() or
206 soup_session_request_http_uri()).
208 * soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() is now deprecated; apps
209 that want to do streaming reads should just use SoupRequest,
210 which is vastly more sane.
213 * SoupPasswordManager is now deprecated, and
214 SoupPasswordManagerGNOME is now a no-op (and libsoup-gnome
215 no longer links against libgnome-keyring). [#594377, #679866]
217 * SoupCookieJarSqlite is now deprecated in favor of
218 SoupCookieJarDB, which is exactly the same thing except that
219 it's in libsoup itself rather than being in libsoup-gnome
220 (something that many people have requested). This means that
221 libsoup now requires sqlite3... if this offends you horribly
222 then you have a few months to speak up...
224 * SoupProxyResolverGNOME is now deprecated; there hasn't been
225 any real reason to use it since SoupProxyResolverDefault was
228 * As a result of the last three items, libsoup-gnome now
229 consists entirely of deprecated APIs, and there is no reason
230 you should use it any more (though packagers need to keep
231 building it, for backward compatibility).
234 * SoupSession is no longer an abstract class, and you can
235 create a plain SoupSession, which behaves in a more
236 traditionally-gio-like way (allowing a mix of sync and async
237 methods, etc). This "plain" SoupSession also has more sane
238 default values of certain properties, and has certain
239 SoupSessionFeatures built in.
241 This will eventually replace SoupSessionAsync and
242 SoupSessionSync completely, but most of the documentation
243 hasn't yet been updated at this point...
245 This change involved merging the majority of the
246 SoupSessionAsync and SoupSessionSync code into SoupSession,
247 getting rid of lots of redundancy in the process. There may
248 be some bug fallout from this (probably on the
249 SoupSessionSync side, since WebKit's tests tend to shake out
250 all SoupSessionAsync bugs). However, this should help to
251 avoid SoupSessionSync-only bugs in the future, since much
252 more of the code is now shared.
255 * Usernames and passwords passed into SoupSession a URI will
256 now be cleared after they're used, so that if they are
257 wrong, the authenticate signal will be emitted on the next
258 round. [#689673, Martin Robinson]
260 * SoupURI now leaves "%00" in URIs as-is, rather than decoding
261 it to "\0", which was not intended and is never useful.
263 * Fixed a bug in SoupBodyOutputStream that could cause libsoup
264 to sometimes use blocking I/O rather than non-blocking when
265 writing chunked message bodies. [#688974, Milan Plzik]
267 * Fixed a bug in SoupFilterInputStream that could cause some
268 non-blocking reads to suck up CPU while waiting for the
269 network. (This was noticed with multipart/x-mixed-replace
270 processing; it's not clear if it affected anything else.)
273 * tests: misc small fixes
276 * New/updated translations:
277 Assamese, Galician, Japanese, Odia, Polish, Spanish
279 Changes in libsoup from 2.41.1 to 2.41.2:
281 * libsoup-2.4.so and libsoup-gnome-2.4.so now only export the
282 symbols that are part of the public API. (Plus, temporarily,
283 one additional symbol, soup_message_io_cleanup, which is
284 used by gvfs and possibly a few other modules, even though
285 it shouldn't be. If you copied soup-input-stream.c from
286 gvfs, you should port your code to use SoupRequest instead.)
289 * Added SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED / SOUP_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
290 macros like the corresponding glib ones, to allow libsoup
291 users to request per-version deprecation/availability
294 * Fixed a crash caused by a race condition in SoupSessionSync,
295 and reorganized some code to avoid other possible similar
296 race conditions. [#684238, Dan]
298 * Fixed a crash when a DNS resolution failed, caused by a bug
299 in the GTask porting in 2.41.1. [#688330, Milan Crha]
301 * Fixed a problem that would cause g_warning()s in epiphany
302 when browsing sites that (incorrectly) returned empty
303 Cache-Control headers. [#683433, Dan]
305 * We now add a Host header to HTTP/1.0 requests as well as
308 * Fixed a bug in the printing of IPv6 address literals in the
309 Host header in SoupLogger. (They were being sent across the
310 wire correctly, they were just printed wrong by SoupLogger.)
313 * Belatedly added soup-multipart-input-stream.h to soup.h.
316 * Removed an evil hack in the long-deprecated
317 SoupProxyResolver code (not to be confused with
318 SoupProxyURIResolver), to avoid warnings with glib master.
319 If you had previously implemented a custom
320 SoupProxyResolver, then it will probably (silently) stop
321 working, but you should have ported it to
322 SoupProxyURIResolver years ago anyway... [Dan, #687659]
324 * Fixed a few race conditions in the test programs that could
325 cause "make check" to fail on slow or heavily-loaded
328 * Further cleaned up and reorganized the internal HTTP I/O
329 codepaths, in preparation for an improved SoupCache.
330 [#682112, Sergio] (This change should not actually be
331 externally noticeable. But if SoupContentDecoder or
332 SoupContentSniffer turns out to be broken in this release,
335 * New/updated translations:
338 Changes in libsoup from 2.40.1 to 2.41.1:
340 * Changed the behavior of NTLM authentication to be more like
341 what other apps apparently do. Now if the user does not
342 specify a domain in the username (eg, "MYDOMAIN\username"),
343 then we will not specify a domain in the NTLM response
344 (rather than assuming that the user is in the server's
345 default domain). People who get broken by this change should
346 be able to fix it by including an explicit domain in their
347 username, but the theory is that no one should get broken by
348 this... If this change does turn out to hurt more than it
349 helps then it may be reverted later. [#624613, Dan, based on
350 a suggestion from David Woodhouse]
352 * Fixed a crash caused by a race condition in SoupSessionSync.
355 * SoupRequest now supports resource:// URIs, for reading from
356 gresource. [#682721, Carlos]
358 * Added new compile-time and runtime APIs for checking the
359 libsoup version. [#684514, Martin Robinson]
361 * Updated to take advantage of (and require) glib 2.35;
362 removed all g_type_init() calls and ported to GTask. [Dan]
364 * Added support for Apache 2.4 to the unit tests. [Dan]
369 Changes in libsoup from 2.40.0 to 2.40.1:
371 * Improved the parsing of multipart/x-mixed-replace responses.
374 * Fixed handling of IPv6 address literals. [#684990, Dan]
376 * New/updated translations:
377 Catalan, Catalan (Valencian), Norwegian bokmål
379 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.92 to 2.40.0:
381 * New/updated translations:
382 Bengali (India), Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Estonian,
383 German, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Latvian, Malayalam,
384 Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Ukranian
386 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.91 to 2.39.92:
388 * Fixed some g_warnings (and a possible crash) with the
389 soup_request_send_async(). [#683404, Dan]
391 * Fixed a hang with SoupSessionSync [#682923, Dan]
393 * Handle empty "Cache-Control" headers. [Sergio]
395 * New/updated translations:
396 Assamese, Belarusian, Brazilian Portuguese, British English,
397 Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, French, Galician,
398 Greek, Gujarati, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Lithuanian,
399 Marathi, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian,
402 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.90 to 2.39.91:
404 * Added missing (transfer full) annotation to
405 soup_cookie_jar_add_cookie() and
406 soup_cookie_jar_add_cookie_with_first_party(), fixing
407 crashes in bindings. [#682554, Daniel Drake]
409 * Fixed a crash [#682569, Alexander Larsson] and a win32 build
410 problem [#683200, Kalev Lember] introduced by the memory
411 leak fixes in 2.39.90
413 * Fixed the SoupMessage:network-event signal, which had been
414 skipping the G_SOCKET_CLIENT_COMPLETE state in tunneled
415 https connections. And added a test for this. [Dan]
417 * New/updated translations:
418 French, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish,
419 Punjabi, Swedish, Tamil
421 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.5 to 2.39.90:
423 * Added SoupMultipartInputStream, for handling multipart
424 responses (particularly multipart/x-mixed-replace).
427 * Fixed a potential crash in SoupSessionAsync after the
428 session is finalized.
430 * Fixed a regression in soup_tls_is_public_suffix() [#681085,
433 * Added a SOUP_MESSAGE_IDEMPOTENT flag, so that apps can
434 bypass the "POSTs must be sent on new connections" check,
435 which was causing evolution-ews to have to create a new
436 connection for every request. [#681493, Milan Crha]
438 * Changed SoupSession so that pending SoupMessages now hold a
439 ref on the session. It is possible that this will break code
440 that was depending on the old, dumb, behavior (where
441 unreffing the session with messages pending would cause
442 those messages to be cancelled), in which case this will be
443 reverted before 2.40.
445 * Fixed memory leaks found by valgrind.
447 * Cleaned up some code in SoupCache. [#681509, Sergio]
449 * New/updated translations:
450 Bengali (India), Chinese (Traditional), German, Marathi,
453 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.4.1 to 2.39.5:
455 * Fixed several bugs in the soup-message-io updates that could
456 cause hangs or I/O errors. [#679527 and other bugs not filed
459 * Fixed SoupServer:async-context to work properly again
461 * Further fixes to soup_uri_normalize() when using the
462 "unescape_extra" parameter. [#680018]
464 * Fixed soup_xmlrpc_parse_method_call() to handle the case
465 where there is no <params> element (which is legal).
468 * Fixed the deprecation warning on soup_message_headers_get()
471 * Added warnings to some erroneous SoupSocket usages rather
472 than returning bogus data. [#673083, Simon McVittie]
474 * Fixed build under Windows/MinGW
476 * SoupSocket no longer emits the "readable" signal when a
477 socket is disconnected if that socket is non-blocking.
479 * Updated public suffix list to the current version.
481 * New/Updated translations:
482 Assamese, Chinese (simplified), Esperanto, Galician, Greek, Gujarati,
483 Hebrew, Norwegian bokmål, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian
485 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.4 to 2.39.4.1:
487 * Fixed indentation problems in tld-parser.py so it will work
488 under python 3. [#680089, "marduk"]
490 * Actually fixed cookies in non-suffixed/private domains,
491 which still didn't work after the last fix. [#679230,
494 * Updated translations:
497 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.3 to 2.39.4:
499 * Fixed the SoupRequest codepaths to properly retry in the
500 case where the server closes a persistent connection when we
501 try to use it. [Dan, might be the fix for #679527, but this
502 is not yet confirmed]
504 * Fixed the content-type and content-length of requests
505 retrieved from SoupCache. [#680029, Carlos Garcia Campos]
507 * Fixed the handling of cookies in non-suffixed and private
508 domains ("localhost", "foo.local", etc) [#679230, Sergio and
511 * Fixed cookie parsing to allow attribute values on "secure"
512 and "HttpOnly". (Neither is supposed to have a value, but it
513 happens in the real world.) [#678753, Dan, based on a patch
516 * Fixed soup_uri_normalize() to not always run the "fixup"
517 codepath. [#680018, pointed out by Yann Soubeyrand]
519 * Fixed a (rare) crash when closing the stream returned from
520 SoupRequestHTTP. [Dan]
522 * Use G_DEPRECATED on deprecated functions, and then fix up
523 the warnings this caused due to libsoup using its own
524 deprecated functions. [#671770, Javier Jardón]
526 * Fixed up "make dist" by, among other things, rewriting
527 tld-parser in python. [#678909, Colin Walters]
529 * Removed the "getbug" example program in tests/, which didn't
530 work any more anyway. [Dan]
532 * Various internal code cleanups. [Dan] Fixed one crash
533 resulting from this [#680055, Alban Browaeys]; hopefully
534 there won't be any more.
536 * New/Updated translations:
537 Assamese, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Chinese (traditional), Hebrew,
538 Indonesian, Lithuanian, Norwegian bokmål, Vietnamese
540 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.2 to 2.39.3:
542 * Added new functions for comparing domains against the
543 "public suffix" list (http://publicsuffix.org/), and in
544 particular fixed SoupCookieJar to not allow setting cookies
545 in "public" domains (eg, ".co.uk"). [#673802, Sergio]
547 * Added two new SoupCookieJar APIs
548 (soup_cookie_jar_get_cookies() and
549 soup_cookie_jar_set_cookie_with_first_party()) as part of
550 fixing the handling of HttpOnly cookies in WebKitGTK.
551 [#677922, Christophe Dumez]
553 * Fixed g-i annotation of
554 soup_message_headers_get_content_type(). [#677002, Dan]
556 * Updated translations:
557 Galician, Greek, Slovenian, Spanish, Telugu
559 Changes in libsoup from 2.39.1 to 2.39.2:
561 * Fixed several bugs that resulted from the I/O code rewrite
562 in 2.39.1, and added more test cases to exercise the new
565 * Problems with cancelling messages from the
566 got-headers signal [#674747, Dan]
568 * Persistent connections were not always being closed
569 properly after a message was cancelled mid-response.
572 * Cancelling a SoupRequest before it started I/O
575 * Asynchronous HTTP authentication via the SoupRequest
578 * Memory leak [#676038, Ray Strode]
580 * Refcounting bug that manifested as a crash in rygel
581 [#676038, Ray Strode]
583 * Handling failed CONNECT requests via SoupRequest
586 * Messages with trailing junk following a compressed
587 message body [#676477, Dan]
589 * Fixed three cache-related bugs that affect some sites
590 (notably Twitter) [Sergio]
592 * Fixed a bug in the /usr/bin/ntlm_auth integration when you
593 don't already have credentials cached, and avoid printing
594 warning messages when ntlm_auth is present but not usable.
597 * Fixed some g-ir-scanner warnings, and included
598 SoupRequester/SoupRequest in the introspected API [#676742,
601 * Added soup_buffer_get_as_bytes() [#676776, Jasper]
603 * New/updated translations:
604 Belarusian, Chinese (simplified), French, Galician, Greek,
605 Hebrew, Polish, Punjabi, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish
607 Changes in libsoup from 2.38.1 to 2.39.1:
609 * Major rewrite of the I/O code to use gio streams more
610 directly. In particular, when using SoupRequestHTTP now, the
611 input stream that is returned is actually pulling data from
612 the socket, rather than just repeatedly pausing and
613 unpausing the underlying SoupMessage and waiting for data to
614 be pushed into it. This also means that SoupRequestHTTP now
615 works with SoupSessionSync as well. [#591739, Dan]
617 (The SoupRequest API is still protected by unstable-API
618 #ifdefs, but will be made public later in this cycle.)
620 * Libsoup now finally supports SOCKS proxies again. [#553269,
623 * Certain error messages returned from the streaming API
624 (SoupRequest, etc) are now localized; more strings will be
627 * New translations: Galician, Hebrew, Indonesian, Norwegian
628 bokmål, Polish, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish.
630 * Added a SoupCookieJar:is-persistent property, to distinguish
631 memory-only jars from SoupCookieJarText and
632 SoupCookieJarSqlite. [#672838, Carlos Garcia Campos]
634 Changes in libsoup from 2.38.0 to 2.38.1:
636 * Fixed a situation where soup_connection_disconnect() could
637 end up calling g_object_unref(NULL) when an idle connection
638 was closed. [Sergio, #672178]
640 * Fixed two warnings when cancelling an in-progress
641 soup_socket_connect_async(). [pointed out on the mailing
642 list by Sven Neumann]
644 * Fixed a crash when disposing a SoupServer with open
645 connections. [#673468, Jonny Lamb]
647 * Fixed the SoupSession:ssl-use-system-ca-file property to get
648 turned off (rather than on) when you set it to FALSE... Also
649 fixed up the property notifications around the various
650 certificate-verification properties (ssl-ca-file,
651 ssl-use-system-ca-file, and tls-database).
653 * Fixed SoupSession to not leak paused SoupMessages that
654 were still in progress when it was unreffed. [#673905]
656 * Updated the win32 file: URI code again, to fix regressions
657 in the WebKit tests. [WebKit bug #82484]
659 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.92 to 2.38.0:
661 * Minor documentation fixes
663 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.91 to 2.37.92:
665 * Added soup_session_prefetch_dns() and deprecated
666 soup_session_prepare_for_uri(). The new method takes a
667 completion callback, allowing you to know how many DNS
668 resolutions are currently outstanding, so you don't spam the
669 resolver. [Sergio, WebKit bug #41630]
671 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.90 to 2.37.91:
673 * Fixed an out-of-bounds memory read that could occur when
674 parsing malformed requests/responses.
676 * Fixed a build-related bug in Makefile.glib that affected
677 locales such as Estonian where "Z" is not the last (ASCII)
678 letter of the alphabet. [#654395, Priit Laes]
680 * Fixed the handling of file: URIs with query components,
681 which got broken in 2.37.90.
683 * Fixed SoupAuthManagerNTLM to not fall back to allowing Basic
684 auth when NTLM failed.
686 * Further tweaked the warnings/fallback in SoupURI, so that
687 soup_uri_to_string() on an http URI with a NULL path would
688 translate that to "/" like it used to. [#670431]
690 * Fixed a warning when cancelling the load of a page with many
691 subresources. [#667245]
693 * Use G_GNUC_BEGIN/END_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS if GLib is new
694 enough, to avoid getting warned about the use of
697 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.5 to 2.37.90:
699 * libsoup is now beta-testing Makefile.glib from bug 654395.
700 If 2.37.90 fails to build in some strange way that 2.37.5
701 did not, this is probably why.
703 * Replaced some of the SoupURI g_return_if_fail()s that were
704 added in 2.37.5 with g_warn_if_fail()s. Although it had
705 always been documented that SoupURIs must have a non-NULL
706 path, most SoupURI functions treated NULL the same as "",
707 and various apps (eg, rhythmbox, midori) were accidentally
708 relying on this. [Dan]
710 * Added various return-if-fails and other sanity checks to
711 various functions. [#669479, Robert Swain, Mark Nauwelaerts,
714 * Updated docs/annotation of soup_form_decode_multipart() to
715 note that all of the out parameters are (allow-none). Fixed
716 the file_control_name parameter to actually allow NULL like
717 the docs already claimed. [#669479, Simon McVittie]
719 * Fixed a minor URI parsing bug. (It was allowing URI schemes
720 to contain numbers.) [Dan]
722 * Fixed a few memory leaks introduced in the 2.37 cycle. [Dan]
724 * Fixed SoupServer to be able to correctly respond to HTTP/1.0
725 requests over IPv6 (which previously would always have
726 returned "400 Bad Request"). [#666399, Dan]
728 * Changed SoupSessionAsync to make it possible to finalize it
729 from the "wrong" thread. [#667364, Dan].
731 * Fixed SoupCache to not cache resources whose URIs have query
732 components (unless they have explicit cache headers); to not
733 generate broken conditional requests for resources that
734 cannot be conditionally validated; and to not spew warnings
735 when receiving invalid Cache-Control headers. [#668865,
738 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.4 to 2.37.5:
740 * Fixed a bug in SoupSession:use-thread-context [Dan]
742 * Fixed the case of cancelling a message from
743 SoupSession::request-started [#668098, Raphael Kubo da
746 * Fixed a crash in epiphany when loading a page with more than
747 1000 or so images. [#668508, Dan]
749 * Fixed a bunch of cases involving invalid URLs found while
750 testing SoupServer against an HTTP protocol fuzzer. Also
751 fixed up some documentation/annotations and added some new
752 test cases. [#667637, Simon McVittie]
754 * Fixed SoupRequestFile to work on Windows. [Paweł Forysiuk]
756 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.3 to 2.37.4:
758 * SoupMessage now has a "network-event" signal that can be
759 monitored for information about DNS, proxy lookup, TCP
760 connections, and TLS handshakes. [Dan]
762 * The HTTP header parsing code now avoids hitting
763 g_return_if_fails() (and returns an error instead) in a few
764 cases of seriously-invalid headers. [#666316, Simon
767 * POSTs and other non-idempotent requests are now always sent
768 on newly-created connections. You can also force this
769 behavior on other messages by setting the
770 SOUP_MESSAGE_NEW_CONNECTION flag. [#578990, Dan]
772 * Server-closed idle connections are now detected ahead of
773 time on Windows, preventing occasional spurious "Connection
774 terminated unexpectedly" errors. (This had been fixed on
775 UNIX since 2.28, but the earlier fix didn't work with
776 WinSock.) [#578990, Dan]
778 * Plugged a leak in SoupRequestHTTP. [#667099, Xan]
780 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.2 to 2.37.3:
782 * Now requires glib 2.31
784 * Simplified SoupHTTPInputStream and SoupRequestHTTP, allowing
785 related simplifications in WebKit's ResourceHandleSoup. This
786 is an ABI-incompatible change, but SoupHTTPInputStream is an
787 unstable API. [#663451, Dan]
789 * Fixed a bug that caused the SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED
790 flag to always be cleared, causing epiphany to claim all
791 https pages were untrusted. [#665182, Dan]
793 * Fixed some bugs in the handling of SoupSession:http-aliases
794 and SoupSession:https-aliases.
796 * Fixed handling of ACLOCAL_FLAGS [#641470, Craig Keogh]
798 * Fixed SoupContentDecoder's "ignore Content-Encoding: gzip
799 because the server didn't actually mean it" hack to handle
802 * Clarified the documentation on SoupSession:ssl-strict
805 Changes in libsoup from 2.37.1 to 2.37.2:
807 * Fixed up the output of SoupDirectoryInputStream, thus
808 improving the display of local directories in WebKit-based
809 browsers. [#662266, Sergio]
811 * Fixed a bug introduced in 2.37.1 that caused some cancelled
812 SoupMessages to be leaked. [#662847, Sergio]
814 * Added new SoupSession properties "http-aliases" and
815 "https-aliases" that allow you to configure more explicitly
816 what URL protocols are treated as aliases for http (eg,
817 "dav:", "webcal:", etc), and which should be recognized as
818 meaning something else, (eg, "ftp:") [Dan]
820 * Added soup_session_would_redirect() and
821 soup_session_redirect_message(), to help users that want to
822 handle some or all redirects themselves. Added
823 soup_message_set_redirect() to make it easier to return
824 redirection responses from a SoupServer. [Dan]
826 * Added the SoupSession "use-thread-context" property, which
827 tells it to use GMainContexts in a gio-compliant way (and in
828 particular, allows having different messages running in
829 different GMainContexts on the same SoupSession, though only
830 to a limited extent since SoupSessionAsync is still not
831 thread-safe). In particular, this was added in order to
832 address WebKit bug 68238. [Dan]
834 * Made SoupURI %-encode non-ASCII characters when parsing
835 URIs, in particular to fix a problem with certain servers
836 sending syntactically invalid redirects that they would then
837 only interpret correctly if you fixed the syntax for them.
838 (@$!@#! Although the new code is probably more correct than
839 the old code anyway, so...) [#662806, Dan]
841 * Fixed a connection-handling bug that could cause problems
842 with servers that requested authentication and then timed
843 out the connection while the application was waiting for the
844 user to enter a password. [#660057, Dan]
846 * Made NTLM and Basic authentication handle some non-ASCII
847 usernames and passwords. (NTLM should handle most. It's
848 impossible to fix Basic in the general case.) [#576838,
849 Joachim Breitner, "sponsored by ITOMIG GmbH and the City of
852 * Added support for "deflate" Content-Encoding, so that we can
853 work with broken servers that insisted on using it even
854 though we explicitly indicated in the request headers that
855 we didn't support it. (@$#!#) [#661682, Sergio]
857 Changes in libsoup from 2.36.0 to 2.37.1:
859 * Fixed a problem with connections being assigned to multiple
860 requests at once after a redirection [#651146, Sergio]. Made
861 soup_session_pause/unpause_message() work in any state, not
862 just while the HTTP I/O is occurring, and used this to add a
863 test case for that bug. [Dan]
865 * Ported SoupSession to use GTlsDatabase internally, and added
866 two new properties, SoupSession:use-system-ca-file (to
867 specify that the session should use the default system
868 tlsdb) and SoupSession:tlsdb (to specify a specific tlsdb to
871 * Likewise, added SoupServer:tls-certificate, for specifying a
872 certificate/key for an https server to use.
874 * Made SoupHTTPInputStream use memory more efficiently.
877 * Fixed soup_message_get_https_status() to return information
878 more reliably (with latest glib-networking).
880 * Bumped the glib requirement to 2.30.0; although libsoup does
881 not use any new glib 2.30 APIs, there are several important
882 bugfixes in glib between 2.28 and 2.30 that libsoup needs.
883 Currently libsoup builds against either glib 2.30.x or glib
886 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.92 to 2.36.0:
888 * Improvements to gtk-doc documentation. [Dan]
890 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.90 to 2.35.92:
892 * Fixed a problem where SoupHTTPRequest response bodies could
893 be truncated. [#659256, Sergio]
895 * Fixed a bug in copying TLS information from SoupSocket to
896 SoupMessage, causing all https connections to be reported as
897 "untrusted" in epiphany. [Dan]
899 * Made SoupSession remove items from its host cache after a
900 while, so that if a host changes IP address, it will
901 eventually try to re-resolve it. [#646959, Sergio]
903 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.5 to 2.35.90:
905 * Added SOUP_MESSAGE_CAN_REBUILD flag, to use with
906 soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE) on a request body,
907 to indicate that the caller will recreate the request body
908 after it has been discarded if the message needs to be
911 * Fixed the build on mingw-w64 by not using "interface" as
912 as variable name. [#656402, Erik van Pienbroek]
914 * (The multihosted https server regression mentioned in the
915 2.35.5 NEWS turned out to be a glib-networking bug, which is
916 fixed as of 2.29.18.)
918 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.4 to 2.35.5:
920 * Support NTLM single sign on via samba's /usr/bin/ntlm_auth.
921 [#650940, Mandy Wu]. This is enabled by default (if NTLM is
922 enabled for the session and the ntlm_auth binary is
923 available), but will fall back to the standard
924 password-based authentication if SSO fails.
926 * Default to TLS+extensions for https connections, falling
927 back to SSLv3-without-extensions (the old default) only if
928 the server fails to negotiate TLS. [#581342]
930 * As a result of this change, some users are currently
931 seeing problems with sites that serve multiple https
932 hosts from a single IP address (eg,
933 *.launchpad.net). There is no known workaround at
936 * Fixed a longstanding problem with https pages sometimes not
937 loading when using a proxy. [#631368, based on patches from
938 DongJae Kim and Thierry Reding]
940 * SoupContentSniffer: don't use gio's sniffing rules, since
941 the spec now recommends that browsers not do any additional
942 sniffing beyond what's in the spec. [#648846, "arno"]
944 * Fixed SoupRequestHTTP to work properly with alternate
945 GMainContexts. [#653707]
947 * Added some annotations from Vala's vapi files. [#655397,
948 Evan Nemerson]. Also, removed SoupProxyResolver from the
949 gir/typelib, since it had been deprecated since before
950 introspection was available, and it was being scanned wrong
953 Changes in libsoup from 2.35.3 to 2.35.4:
955 * CVE-2011-2524: Fixed a security hole that caused some
956 SoupServer users to unintentionally allow accessing the
957 entire local filesystem when they thought they were only
958 providing access to a single directory. [#653258]
960 * Plugged another SoupCache memory leak [Xan]
962 * Simplified SoupCache keys, and handle collisions. [#649963,
965 * Annotate SoupSession:add-feature, etc, as (skip), so they
966 don't conflict with the methods of the same name. [#655150,
969 Changes in libsoup from 2.34.1 to 2.35.3:
971 * SoupCache fixes [Sergio]:
973 * Don't store hop-by-hop headers [#650094]
975 * Fix status code and headers of responses returned
976 from the cache after being revalidated [#649965]
978 * Added versioning support to the cache file format
979 [#652554] and extended it to keep track of the
980 status code [#649965]
982 * Fixed storage of time values in the cache [#653349]
984 * Fixed a use-after-free that could result in bogus
985 data being written to the cache [#650620]
987 * Various leaks [#649309]
989 * Work around an Apache bug where it tells browsers to
990 automatically decode .gz files but still keep the .gz in the
993 * Fixed an overflow when sending a response larger than 2^31
994 bytes (eg, streaming movies in Rygel). [#638468, Jens Georg]
996 * Always send the Keep-Alive header, not just to hosts we
997 already know to be HTTP/1.0 [#648680, Sergio]
999 * Fixed various leaks [#652699, Sergio], [#651643, Milan],
1002 * Minor build fix for Debian/Ubuntu [#648948]
1006 Changes in libsoup from 2.34.0 to 2.34.1:
1008 * Two multipart forms/Content-Disposition fixes [Dan]:
1010 * UTF-8-encoded header encoding/decoding rules updated
1011 to match RFC 5987. In particular, a UTF-8-encoded
1012 filename parameter in Content-Disposition will now
1013 override an ASCII one.
1015 * When not using UTF-8-encoded filenames in
1016 Content-Disposition, always quote the filename,
1017 since some servers erroneously fail to handle
1018 non-quoted ones. [#641280]
1020 * Fixed several memory leaks [Dan, Xan]
1022 * Fixed decoding base64 data: URLs [#646896, Sergio]
1024 * Simplified the libsoup-gnome build on Windows by dropping
1025 the gnome-keyring dependency. [Fridrich Štrba]
1027 * Fixed a bug in soup_uri_to_string() in which (invalid) port
1028 numbers could be output as negative numbers (tripping up a
1029 WebKit "sanity checking" test). [#647767, Sergio]
1031 * Fixed a cache corruption bug in SoupCache. [#648285, Sergio]
1033 * Fixed a crash in SoupSessionSync when using
1034 soup_session_abort().
1036 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.92 to 2.34.0:
1038 * Fixed the GMainContext handling of the new
1039 SoupProxyResolverDefault (which among other things fixes
1040 gstreamer usage inside epiphany). [#646201, Sebastian Dröge]
1042 * Tweaked the introspection Makefile rules to fix a problem
1043 building on Debian/Ubuntu. [#645505]
1045 * Belated bumped the shared library versioning to reflect the
1046 API additions since 2.32.0
1048 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.90 to 2.33.92:
1050 * LIBSOUP NO LONGER DEPENDS ON GCONF OR LIBPROXY.
1053 * Added SoupProxyResolverDefault, which uses uses gio's
1054 GProxyResolver to resolve proxies [#642982, Gustavo Noronha
1055 Silva]. Despite the "default" in the name, it is not used by
1056 default, for compatibility reasons, but it is available in
1057 plain libsoup, not libsoup-gnome. (Of course, it depends on
1058 having glib-networking installed.)
1060 * Updated SoupProxyResolverGNOME to be based on
1061 SoupProxyResolverDefault, but explicitly requesting the
1062 "gnome" GProxyResolver if it is available [#625898], and
1063 removed the old code that used GConf and libproxy directly.
1065 * Added soup_server_disconnect(), to explicitly disconnect a
1066 SoupServer, since it is not possible to g_object_unref() it
1067 from memory-managed language bindings. [#638576, Andreas
1070 * SoupDate now parses month names case-insensitively [#644048,
1073 * Avoid a g_return_if_fail() when using
1074 SOUP_COOKIE_JAR_ACCEPT_NO_THIRD_PARTY with non-http URIs
1075 (file:, data:, etc). [#643226]
1077 * SoupCookieJar now catches overflows when parsing very
1078 distant dates [#643462, based on a patch from Mark
1081 * Fixed a buggy interaction between request body streaming and
1082 restarted requests [David Woodhouse]. Added some new tests
1083 to tests/chunk-test.c to make sure that a specific
1084 (unsupported!) way of using those methods would not get
1085 broken in the future.
1087 * Fixed soup_socket_get_remote_address(), which had been
1088 broken since 2.33.4 (and which in turn caused
1089 soup_client_context_get_address/_get_host to be broken).
1092 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.6 to 2.33.90:
1094 * Attempted to make libsoup's dependency on glib-networking
1095 (for TLS support) more explicit, by requiring that
1096 glib-networking be present at compile time unless the
1097 builder explicitly passes "--disable-tls-check", and noting
1098 that packagers should give libsoup a runtime dependency on
1101 * Fixed a bug in talking to servers with virtual hosts with
1102 Unicode names (IDNs) [#642075]
1104 * Added a "Connection: Keep-Alive" header when talking to
1105 HTTP/1.0 hosts, to improve performance. [#640414, Sergio
1108 * Changed SoupCache to not cache multipart/x-mixed-replace
1109 content. [#642028, Sergio Villar Senin]
1111 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.5 to 2.33.6:
1113 * Made SoupSessionAsync do idle-connection cleanup more
1114 sanely, resulting in faster load times for pages with lots
1115 of subresources. [#639768, Sergio Villar Senin]
1117 * Fixed soup_form_decode()'s behavior (and by extension,
1118 SoupServer query string handling) with datasets that contain
1119 multiple values for the same key, and added a test case.
1120 [#639783, Sven Neumann]
1122 * Fixed warnings pointed out by gcc 4.6, including a bug in
1123 SoupCache that would cause unnecessary revalidations
1126 * Belated copied a fix from the WebKit copy of soup-cache.c
1127 into ours, and fixed a bug in the local copy of
1128 soup-request-data.c [#641022, Sergio Villar Senin], in
1129 preparation for making WebKit use the libsoup versions.
1131 Changes in libsoup from 2.33.4 to 2.33.5:
1133 * Fixed certain cases of soup_session_cancel_message() with
1134 SoupSessionSync that could previously cause warnings or
1137 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.2 to 2.33.4:
1139 * SoupSocket now uses GSocketConnection and GTlsConnection
1140 internally rather than making socket calls directly and
1141 using GIOStream, and TLS is handled via glib's APIs rather
1142 than using gnutls directly.
1144 * The gzip Content-Encoding handler is now implemented using
1147 * As a result of the above two changes, libsoup no longer
1148 directly depends on gnutls, libgcrypt, or zlib, though it
1149 still indirectly depends on zlib via glib and libxml2. Also,
1150 although libsoup does not depend on glib-networking as a
1151 build-time dependency, some "make check" tests will be
1152 skipped if it is not installed.
1154 * The SoupRequest/SoupCache code from WebKit has been
1155 imported, but it is not yet recommended for general use, and
1156 is not necessarily API stable. [#523100, Sergio Villar, with
1157 the SoupRequest parts based on the Summer of Code work by
1158 Gabriel Corvalan and the cache parts based on an earlier
1161 * Added SoupMessage:tls-certificate and
1162 SoupMessage:tls-errors, which give more information about
1163 the certificate used to authenticate a TLS connection.
1165 * It is now possible to disable Basic or Digest auth in a
1166 session by using soup_session_remove_feature_by_type() with
1167 SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_BASIC or SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_DIGEST. Likewise, the
1168 right way to enable NTLM support now is to call
1169 soup_session_add_feature_by_type() with SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_NTLM;
1170 SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM is now deprecated.
1172 * Allow setting cookies on file:// URIs, since other browsers
1173 do, and WebKit has a test for it. [#603825]
1175 * .gir/.typelib files now include C header/library information
1176 (needed by vala and some other bindings) [#635395, Evan
1179 * Added annotations on soup_message_headers_get_content_type()
1180 [Lucas Rocha] and SoupHTTPVersion [John Palmieri]
1182 * Fixed a Set-Cookie processing leak [#636741, Jonathan
1185 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.1 to 2.32.2:
1187 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused evolution-exchange
1188 to get stuck and stop updating. [#634422]
1190 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with apps using asynchronous
1191 sessions from multiple threads (in particular, gupnp)
1194 * Fixed the regression test for #631525 to not cause spurious
1195 "make check" failures on some machines.
1197 Changes in libsoup from 2.32.0 to 2.32.1:
1199 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with the use of persistent
1200 connections that caused spurious "Connection terminated
1201 unexpectedly" errors. [#631525, debugged by Sergio Villar]
1203 * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused proxy-related
1204 DNS errors to return SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than
1205 SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE_PROXY.
1207 * Usernames/passwords specified explicitly in request URIs now
1208 override existing cached auth info. [#631679, Sergio Villar]
1210 * Changed soup_uri_decode() and soup_uri_normalize() to just
1211 ignore malformed %-encoding rather than returning NULL,
1212 for consistency with soup_uri_new(). [#630540]
1214 * Fixed soup_form_decode() to ignore invalid parameters,
1215 and soup_form_encode_hash() to just g_return_if_fail()
1216 rather than crashing if there are NULL values in the
1219 * Added another workaround for stupid servers that close the
1220 connection before returning the full response (in this case,
1221 when using chunked encoding and failing to include the
1222 final 0-length chunk). [#629160]
1224 * Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJarText that deleted excess cookies
1225 whenever any cookie expired. [#631641, Michał Kazior]
1227 * Fixed a small leak in SoupContentDecoder if you were using
1228 it incorrectly. [pointed out in email by Christophe
1231 * Added regression tests for passwords-in-URIs [#631679,
1232 Sergio Villar] and SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT.
1234 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.92 to 2.32.0:
1236 * (No changes, just a version bump)
1238 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.90 to 2.31.92:
1240 * Updated for gobject-introspection 0.9.5. Also added some new
1241 annotations and removed a bunch of private headers from the
1244 * Percent-encoded characters in URIs are no longer
1245 automatically normalized to uppercase, since apparently some
1246 servers are stupid. [#628728, Sergio Villar Senin]
1248 * Fixed a crash when resolving a URI containing both spaces
1249 and non-UTF8 8bit characters. [#629449]
1251 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.90:
1253 * libsoup now tries to connect to each IP address associated
1254 with a hostname, if the first one fails. In particular, if a
1255 host has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and only one of them
1256 is reachable from the current host, libsoup will now try the
1257 other one rather than failing. (libc is supposed to sort the
1258 IP addresses in the right order, such that, eg, if you don't
1259 have IPv6 connectivity, it will put the IPv4 address first.
1260 For some reason though, this seems to be broken on some
1261 distros.) [#526321].
1263 * Fixed Accept-Language header generation in locales where ","
1264 is used as the decimal point.
1266 Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.6:
1268 * Disabled TLS 1.2 in addition to the already-disabled 1.1 and
1269 1.0 [see below, in libsoup 2.27.2], thus making libsoup
1270 usable with gnutls 2.10. [#622857. This commit, 01a43ad9,
1271 can be applied to libsoup 2.30.x as well if you need that
1272 release to work with gnutls 2.10.]
1274 * When using libproxy 0.3 or newer, libsoup no longer leaks
1275 proxy-related environment variables into child processes
1278 * Changed the way message/connection binding works in
1279 SoupSession so that (among other things), when there are
1280 multiple requests queued to a host, and one of them gets a
1281 network error, the other requests are still allowed to try
1282 to succeed, rather than all failing immediately. [#619633]
1284 * SoupSession now limits the number of times a message can be
1285 redirected, to avoid infinite loops [#604383, José Millán
1288 * Fixed handling of certain messages where the response
1289 headers included "Connection: close" but the server did not
1290 actually close the connection at the end. [#611481]
1292 * Fixed some incorrect g-i annotations [#621021]
1294 * Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access when processing certain
1295 Set-Cookie headers [#620288]
1297 * Improved msg->reason_phrase on network errors [#623274]
1299 * Fixed gir file disting [#621727, Yaakov Selkowitz]
1301 Changes in libsoup from 2.30.1 to 2.31.2:
1303 * gobject-introspection has now been merged in. Use
1304 --enable-introspection to build. [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
1305 Note that the introspected API is not yet stable, and in
1306 particular, there are numerous values annotated as "utf8"
1307 which are actually not guaranteed to be utf8. (Eg, most
1310 * Added some helper functions for bindings:
1311 soup_buffer_new_take(),
1312 soup_message_body_append_take(), and
1313 soup_buffer_get_data(). [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
1315 * Also added properties for several SoupMessage public
1316 fields, and getter methods for various boxed types
1317 (SoupCookie, SoupDate, SoupURI).
1319 * Added some additional hash-table annotations.
1320 [#619086, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1322 * Marked SoupSession abstract. [#617216, Lorenzo Gil, the
1323 first bug filed by someone trying to use libsoup via
1324 introspection!] Likewise for SoupAuth and SoupAuthDomain.
1326 * Fixed a problem with SoupSessionAsync that would cause
1327 messages to get lost if you aborted a previous message while
1328 it was still looking up the hostname. Fixed several other
1329 problems that were discovered while adding a regression test
1330 for that. [#618641, thanks to Claudio Saavedra for a good
1333 * Fixed another connecting-to-lame-http-server problem, and a
1334 getting-stuck-in-a-loop-reconnecting bug that it revealed.
1337 Changes in libsoup from 2.30.0 to 2.30.1:
1339 * Fix for https through proxies that close the connection when
1340 returning a "407 Proxy Authentication Required" response,
1341 and add a regression test for that case. [#611663]
1343 * Fixed multiple forms/multipart-related interoperability
1344 problems reported by Egon Andersen:
1346 * Don't quote the multipart boundary string if it's
1347 not needed, since RFC 2616 recommends that you
1348 don't, and some servers don't handle quotes there
1349 correctly. (Sigh.) [#614176]
1351 * Don't put an extra blank line before the first
1352 multipart part, since it's unnecessary and some
1353 servers don't handle a multipart preamble correctly.
1356 * Don't put Content-Transfer-Encoding headers in the
1357 multipart/form-data parts, even though the HTML 4
1358 spec says you must, since no other browsers do, and
1359 some servers don't handle them correctly. (Sigh.)
1362 * Changed SoupCookieJarSqlite to actually erase deleted
1363 cookies from the database. [#615711, Lukasz Slachciak]
1365 * Fixed SoupLogger to be more robust against getting passed
1366 bad data by the session. [#611663]
1368 * Fixed SoupAuthDomain to ignore paths when doing proxy auth
1370 * Fixed a g_warning when hovering over a javascript link in
1371 WebKit. [#613442, Xan Lopez]
1373 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.91 to 2.30.0:
1375 * Fixed a crash in the whitespace-stripping code in
1376 soup_uri_new() [#612644, "arnaud.lb"]
1378 * Update content-sniffing algorithm to match Chrome and the
1379 soon-to-be-updated sniffing spec. [#611502, Gustavo Noronha
1382 * We now handle "Content-Encoding: x-gzip" as well as "gzip"
1383 (even though "x-gzip" has been deprecated for more than 10
1386 * Fixed leaks found by valgrind
1388 * Make the "make check" programs only bind to 127.0.0.1, not
1389 any public network interfaces. [#609489, Saleem Absulrasool]
1391 * Add a test to sniffing-test to make sure that Content-Type
1392 parameters are preserved correctly. [Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1394 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.90 to 2.29.91:
1396 * Added SOUP_SESSION_SSL_STRICT and
1397 SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED, to allow callers to
1398 determine if an https response comes from a server with a
1399 recognized/valid or unrecognized/invalid certificate.
1400 [#610374, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1402 * Fixed handling of certain badly-formatted URIs [#590524]
1404 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.6 to 2.29.90:
1406 * Added soup_cookie_jar_set_accept_policy() and related API
1407 for implementing cookie acceptance policies. [#608353, Xan
1410 * Fixed the "request-read" signal in SoupServer to actually be
1413 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.5 to 2.29.6:
1415 * Fixed SoupContentDecoder to ignore trailing junk after the
1416 encoded message body (as other browsers do), rather than
1417 getting stuck in an infinite loop. [#606352]
1419 * Fixed an invalid read in soup_cookie_applies_to_uri()
1420 [#607024, pointed out by Xan]
1422 * Fixed linking on OS X [#606959]
1424 * Removed a harmless warning in SoupServer. [#606645]
1426 Changes in libsoup from 2.29.3 to 2.29.5:
1428 * Added SoupContentDecoder, providing support for
1429 Content-Encoding: gzip for WebKitGTK. [#522772]
1431 * Added "accept-language" and "accept-language-auto"
1432 properties to SoupSession, to support the Accept-Language
1433 header. [#597004, Mario Sanchez Prada]
1435 * Fixed a bug in SoupPasswordManagerGNOME that could cause
1436 crashes if you typed the wrong password once and then tried
1437 again. [#595554, debugged by Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1439 * Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDigest if the server claims support
1440 for both qop=auth and qop=auth-int. (This was not noticed
1441 sooner because no one actually supports qop=auth-int, and
1442 the server in question here was probably confused. :)
1444 * Updated cookie parsing/output to more closely match
1445 draft-ietf-httpstate-cookie-00. [Also fixes #603496 (WebKit
1446 unit test), and #604794 (hang parsing malformed Set-Cookie
1449 * Fixed https-via-proxy to not hang if there is an error
1450 communicating with the proxy immediately after the TLS
1451 negotiation. [#587528]
1453 * Fixed a bug that broke gobject-introspection's introspection
1454 of libsoup. [#603696, Vincent Untz]
1456 * Handle spurious CR/LFs between responses. [#602863,
1457 Alexander V. Butenko]
1459 * Fixed soup-message-client-io to not erroneously include URI
1460 fragments on the Request-Line when sending via a proxy.
1461 [Related to WebKit bug #28687]
1463 * Fixed Digest authentication against certain (buggy?)
1464 clients/servers that require you to use quotes in exactly the
1465 same places where the spec uses them. [#582219]
1467 * Fix ugly gtype-related hack to work with the latest unstable
1468 glib. [Benjamin Otte]
1470 Changes in libsoup from 2.28.1 to 2.29.3:
1472 * Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite when using cookie
1473 databases not created by libsoup (eg, upgraded epiphany
1474 installations). [Patch from Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]
1476 * Fixed SoupCookieJar to handle non-http URIs properly (so
1477 that, eg, JavaScript bookmarklets that try to set/read
1478 cookies won't cause crashes). [#602498]
1480 * HEAD requests that receive a "303 See Other" response will
1481 now do a HEAD, not a GET, on the redirected-to resource.
1482 Fixes gvfs access to some sites, including certain
1483 youtube.com URIs. [#600830]
1485 * Fixed a g_warning that would always trigger in the
1486 server-side SoupCookie code. [#602389]
1488 * Fixed the server-side SoupMultipart code to be able to parse
1489 multiparts containing binary attachments, rather than
1490 rejecting them as malformed. [#601640]
1492 * Fixed the Request-Line format in the https-over-proxy case.
1493 Among other things, this fixes access to bugzilla.gnome.org
1494 from WebKitGTK-based browsers. [#598277, #600826]
1496 * Fixed a leak in SoupSession if a message was cancelled while
1497 the initial socket connection was in progress. [#596074,
1498 debugged by Arnout Vandecappelle]
1500 * Fixed server-side parsing of Digest auth. [#602898, Chris
1503 * Fixed WinSock initialization on Windows. [#600689, Tor
1506 * Fixed a sporadic crash in the SSL code on Windows. [#600748,
1509 * Fixed handling of https connections with timeouts on
1510 Windows. [#600749, Tor Lillqvist]
1512 * Added soup_session_prepare_for_uri(), to allow DNS
1513 prefetching for faster browsing. [#598948, José Millán Soto]
1515 * SoupSession now avoids redundant DNS lookups again when
1516 first connecting to a new site, resulting in (probably
1517 imperceptibly) faster loads.
1519 * Added some debugging APIs to SoupConnection and SoupSession
1520 for use by, eg, epiphany's soup-fly extension. [#589163,
1523 Changes in libsoup from 2.28.0 to 2.28.1:
1525 * libsoup will now attempt to make multiple connections to a
1526 server at once when there are multiple messages queued to
1527 that server. The previous behavior (only allowing a single
1528 pending connection to each server) resulted in slow load
1529 times on pages with lots of subresources (images, css, js,
1530 etc) on servers that disallow persistent connections.
1533 * There should now be fewer (no?) "Connection terminated
1534 unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK.
1536 * Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite [#596859, patch from
1539 * Fixed soup_address_get_physical() and address-to-name
1540 resolution of SoupAddress [patch from Enrico Tröger].
1542 * Fixed a bug in SoupContentSniffer that could cause false
1543 negatives [#597545, patch from Alejandro Castro].
1545 * Fixed the configure error if you have gnutls-devel but not
1546 gcrypt-devel installed [#587709].
1548 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.92 to 2.28.0:
1550 * Fixed a handful of leaks found with valgrind, including a
1551 large one in SoupContentSniffer [WebKit bug 28148].
1553 * Changed the behavior of SoupCookieJarSqlite to improve
1554 performance. [#584522, patch from Gustavo Noronha Silva]
1556 * Fixed a crash in SoupSocket that affected gupnp. [#594951,
1557 patch from Olivier Crête]
1559 * Fixed the type of the SOUP_METHOD_* and SOUP_URI_SCHEME_*
1560 macros to be const char * rather than gpointer. [#594508]
1562 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.91 to 2.27.92:
1564 * Removed SoupPasswordManager from the public API until its
1565 problems can be addressed. Although it is still present, you
1566 need to #define a special symbol for it to be visible in the
1567 header files; see #594377 for details.
1569 * Fixed a bug where empty query components were dropped from
1572 * Fixed "make check" to work (but warn) when building with
1575 * Fixed some small documentation bugs pointed out by Dominik
1576 Bylica and Lucian Langa.
1578 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.90 to 2.27.91:
1580 * Added SoupPasswordManager, an interface for managing
1581 persistent password storage, and SoupPasswordManagerGNOME
1582 (in libsoup-gnome), which implements it using gnome-keyring.
1583 tests/get.c provides a minimal example of how to use it.
1585 * libsoup should now notice when the server closes a
1586 persistent connection, and close its side of the connection
1587 sooner. This should hopefully fix the spurious "Connection
1588 terminated unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK. [#578990]
1590 * Fixed some problems with connection management in
1591 SoupSession that could cause a session to eventually "stall"
1592 and be unable to process new requests. [#592084]
1594 * Fixed an infinite loop that caused 100% CPU usage if the
1595 network went down at exactly the right time while there were
1596 unsent messages in the queue. [#592492]
1598 * Fixed a crash in SoupLogger. [#591857]
1600 * Fixed the definition of soup_message_is_keepalive() for
1601 HTTP/1.0 messages, to fix a problem introduced in 2.27.90
1602 where some messages would load completely but never emit
1605 * Fixed a crash in SoupServer introduced in 2.27.90 when
1606 processing a request with no "Host" header.
1608 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.5 to 2.27.90:
1610 * libsoup now uses glib's GResolver rather than its own DNS
1611 code. For 2.27.90, the only visible change should be that
1612 internationalized domain names are now supported. [#548287]
1614 * Added soup_message_disable_feature(), which allows you to
1615 disable particular features (eg, cookies, proxy,
1616 content-sniffing, etc) on a per-message basis. [#574773]
1618 * It is now possible to implement "OPTIONS *" in a SoupServer;
1619 you must explicitly register a handler for "*" in order to
1622 * Ignore Content-Length on EOF-terminated responses, to match
1623 other browsers and therefore cope with broken servers that
1624 send the wrong length. [Patch from Benjamin Otte.]
1626 * Fixed the status code when trying to fetch an https URI with
1627 a non-gnutls build of libsoup. [#590464]
1629 * Fixed strict-aliasing warnings introduced in 2.27.4
1632 * Fixed some warnings noted by fortify [#591226] and -Wextra.
1634 * libsoup now uses automake 1.11's silent-rules support by
1635 default (if you are building with automake 1.11). Use
1636 "./configure --disable-silent-rules" or "make V=1" to
1639 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.4 to 2.27.5:
1641 * Fixed a crash when a web server redirected a request to a
1642 non-http URI (eg, "about:blank"). [#528882]
1644 * Fixed a hang when trying to create an attachment on certain
1645 bugzilla installations from epiphany. [#584645]
1647 * Fixed verification of V1 TLS certificates [#589323, Patrick
1650 * Fixed compile problems on Windows (in the ssl code), and on
1651 Linux (when the most recent version of gtk-doc was
1654 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.2 to 2.27.4:
1656 * Added SoupContentSniffer and the "content-sniffed" signal on
1657 SoupMessage, to do Content-Type sniffing per the HTML5 /
1658 draft-abarth-mime-sniff algorithm. [#572589, Gustavo Noronha
1661 * Updated the earlier SoupSession timeout fixes ([#574414],
1662 [#578928]) so that async connect() also times out [#588177,
1663 Mark Nauwelaerts] and SSL works on Windows again [#587910,
1666 * Fixed the behavior on a 301 response to a POST to match
1667 real-world usage rather than what the spec says. (We were
1668 doing the right thing on 302 and 303, but had missed 301.)
1671 * Changed configure so that if GNUTLS isn't found then it
1672 errors out, rather than silently building an SSL-less
1673 libsoup. Configure with --disable-ssl if you actually don't
1676 Changes in libsoup from 2.27.1 to 2.27.2:
1678 * Replaced SoupProxyResolver with SoupProxyURIResolver, which
1679 is a bit simpler, works with non-HTTP URIs (and so could be
1680 used by gvfsd-ftp) and supports proxy auth correctly.
1683 * Fixed SoupSession to not try to resolve http server
1684 hostnames when it's just going to pass the hostname off to a
1685 proxy server anyway. This fixes things on hosts that use a
1686 proxy for everything and have no working DNS config
1687 [#577532] and also makes WebKitGTK behave more like other
1688 browsers in terms of per-host connection limits (we now
1689 limit connections based on hostname rather than on IP
1692 We also no longer set the AI_CANONNAME flag when calling
1693 getaddrinfo(), which saves us a little bit of unnecessary
1694 network traffic. [Pointed out by Christophe Gillette on the
1697 * libsoup now always uses SSL 3.0 (not TLS 1.0 or 1.1) for
1698 https URIs, to work around problems with older servers that
1699 don't implement the (apparently quite confusing) TLS/SSL
1700 compatibility rules correctly. Makes a bunch of
1701 previously-inaccessible sites now accessible in WebKitGTK
1702 (notably PayPal) [#581342]. Will eventually be revisited, to
1703 first try TLS 1.1 and fall back if that fails.
1705 * Fixed Digest auth to (recent) Apple CalDAV servers.
1708 * Changed the way the SoupSession "authenticate" signal works
1709 a bit. We now never emit "authenticate" before sending a
1710 request, even if we know for sure that it's going to fail,
1711 because this makes the semantics of the authenticate handler
1712 too complicated (and because we'll only get into this
1713 situation if a previous call to the authenticate handler
1714 failed anyway). Fixes problems in WebKitGTK when you cancel
1715 a password dialog, and then later try to load the page
1716 again. [#583462, mostly figured out by Gustavo Noronha
1719 * Fixed a bug in the CRLF-vs-LF patch (#571283) that caused
1720 libsoup to fail to parse the response headers (returning
1721 SOUP_STATUS_MALFORMED) if a CR LF got split across two
1724 * Allow using PUT in soup_form_request_for_data(), to work
1725 with certain broken web APIs. [#581860, Ross Burton]. Also,
1726 fixed a problem with empty POST bodies that made some parts
1727 of gmail not work in WebKitGTK.
1729 * Applied some minor bugfixes to configure.in and autogen.sh
1730 [#583911, #583942]. Fixed configure.in to not use gcc
1731 warning options that the installed version of gcc doesn't
1732 recognize [#578851].
1734 * Added G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED and G_GNUC_PRINTF to a few
1735 methods that should have had them. [#581754, Ross Burton]
1737 Changes in libsoup from 2.26.1 to 2.27.1:
1739 * SOUP_SESSION_TIMEOUT now works properly with
1740 SoupSessionAsync [#574414] and SSL [#578928]. Added
1741 tests/timeout-test to test this.
1745 * soup_date_to_string() now handles SOUP_DATE_RFC2822
1746 [#579055, Enrico Tröger]
1748 * soup_date_new_from_string() now accepts 24:00 as a
1749 time in ISO8601 timestamps
1751 * soup_date_to_string() now coerces the date to UTC
1752 for HTTP and cookie dates, and outputs the UTC
1753 correct offset for the other date types.
1755 * Added regression tests to tests/date
1757 * soup_headers_parse() now completely ignores
1758 syntactically-incorrect headers, rather than passing them to
1759 soup_message_headers_append() and causing a g_warning.
1760 soup_message_headers_append() now also rejects 0-length
1761 header names. Updated tests/header-parsing to check this.
1764 * Fix a crash when cancelling a message from a "restarted"
1765 handler, and updated a regression test to notice the
1766 underlying cause. [#580193]
1768 * Completing the API updates for #576760 from 2.26.1,
1769 soup_message_headers_get() is now marked deprecated in favor
1770 of soup_message_headers_get_one() and _get_list().
1772 Changes in libsoup from 2.26.0 to 2.26.1:
1774 * libsoup uses libproxy for PAC and WPAD proxy resolution
1775 again. However, it arranges to do all communication with
1776 GConf itself, to ensure that libproxy doesn't call it in
1777 non-thread-safe ways. [#571527] Also, fixed a bug in
1778 SoupSessionSync when proxy resolution failed. [#574957,
1779 patch from Milan Crha].
1781 (Also fixed three SoupProxyResolverGNOME bugs since the
1782 2.26.0.9 preview release. [#578746, #578809])
1784 * SoupURI now handles unencoded spaces in URIs. In particular,
1785 redirects via Location headers with spaces in them now work.
1788 * libsoup can now deal with servers (and clients) that
1789 erroneously use LF LF instead of CR LF CR LF to separate
1790 the headers and body. [#571283]
1792 * Added soup_message_headers_get_one() and
1793 soup_message_headers_get_list(), which will eventually
1794 deprecate soup_message_headers_get(). This lets applications
1795 deal correctly with implementations that erroneously send
1796 multiple copies of single-valued headers. [#576760]
1798 * In particular, soup_message_headers_get_content_type() now
1799 ignores duplicate Content-Type headers [#576760] and also
1800 ignores syntactically-incorrect Content-Type headers.
1803 * SoupCookieJar can now store multiple cookies with the same
1804 domain and name, but different paths. [#577360]
1806 * Abnormal SSL connection closes are now treated as ordinary
1807 EOFs, for compatibility with certain sites. [#577386]
1809 * soup_header_g_string_append_param() now allows NULL values.
1812 * soup_message_headers_append() now rejects header names and
1813 values with newlines or certain other illegal data in them,
1814 rather than generating syntactically invalid headers.
1816 * Fixed a small bug in soup_date_new_from_string's ISO 8601
1817 handling [qv #578369 for g_time_val_from_iso8601].
1819 * The regression tests now work correctly on machines where
1820 "localhost" resolves to "::1" instead of "127.0.0.1".
1821 [#576583, patch from Andreas Rottmann]
1823 * Fixed warnings when a message has a network problem when
1824 many other messages are queued. [#578809]
1826 * Miscellaneous documentation fixes/clarifications.
1828 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.91 to 2.26.0:
1830 * Temporarily disable libproxy support to work around a bug in
1831 its gnome plugin that causes gvfsd-http (and probably
1832 eventually other apps) to crash. [#571527]. For now,
1833 SoupProxyResolverGNOME uses only GConf. To be fixed in
1836 * Fixed a bug that showed up in WebKit, where if many messages
1837 were queued all at once to a server that doesn't support
1838 persistent connections, some of the requests will get lost.
1839 #574365, reported by Xan Lopez.
1841 * Fixed SoupServer to support using SOUP_ENCODING_EOF, so you
1842 can stream responses of unknown length to HTTP/1.0 clients.
1843 [#572153]. Added a regression test for this, and for chunked
1844 and Content-Length-based streaming.
1846 * Fixed several bugs that prevented SoupCookieJarSqlite from
1847 working. [#572409, patch from Xan Lopez]
1849 * Added G_{BEGIN,END}_DECLS guards to public headers that were
1850 missing it. (Xan Lopez)
1852 * Misc gtk-doc improvements
1854 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.5 to 2.25.91:
1856 * Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGNOME when the proxy
1857 requires authentication. (This does not make proxy
1858 authentication *work* yet, it just makes it not crash.)
1860 * Updated documentation
1862 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.4 to 2.25.5:
1864 * SoupProxyResolverGConf (which was incomplete) is gone, and
1865 libsoup-gnome now requires libproxy, which is now officially
1866 an external dependency of GNOME.
1868 * Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJar that was making it send
1869 "Cookie: (null)" when it had no cookies for a site, which
1870 confused some web servers (WebKit bug 23240).
1872 * Fixed a bug with using SOUP_MEMORY_TEMPORARY buffers and
1873 soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE). (Part of WebKit bug
1874 18343, noticed by Gustavo Noronha Silva.)
1876 * Fixed the build with non-gcc compilers
1878 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.3 to 2.25.4:
1880 * Added soup_session_get_feature() and
1881 soup_session_get_features(), to query the features currently
1882 available in a session (which is needed by the patch in
1883 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22624)
1885 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.2 to 2.25.3:
1887 * Fixed a crash when using both cookies and a proxy. [#562191,
1890 * Fixed soup_form_decode() to correctly handle forms with
1891 URI-encoded parameter names [#563302, Evan Nemerson] and
1892 added a regression test.
1894 * Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGConf. [#563145]
1896 Changes in libsoup from 2.25.1 to 2.25.2:
1898 * Fixed client behavior when presented with multiple auth
1899 types to choose the *strongest* auth type (eg, Digest)
1900 rather than the *weakest* one [#562339, Pontus Oldberg].
1901 Added a regression test for this.
1903 * Moved libsoup-gnome headers to a different directory to make
1904 it easier to split libsoup and libsoup-gnome into separate
1905 packages, and to ensure that things that only want to be
1906 looking at plain libsoup headers (like gir-repository) don't
1907 accidentally see the libsoup-gnome ones.
1909 * Some minor doc fixes
1911 * Fixed libsoup-gnome linking with --as-needed. [#559342]
1913 Changes in libsoup from 2.24.1 to 2.25.1:
1915 libsoup 2.25.1 introduces a new library, libsoup-gnome, which
1916 will be used for features which are important to GNOME apps,
1917 but which require GNOME-specific libraries that non-GNOME apps
1918 may not want to add dependencies on.
1920 In 2.25.1, libsoup-gnome contains:
1922 * SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME, a SoupSessionFeature
1923 type that can be added to a SoupSession to provide
1924 automatic proxy handling via the GConf proxy keys. (See
1925 below) The default implementation uses libproxy, which
1926 also handles WPAD, PAC, etc, but if libproxy is not
1927 available it will use GConf directly, supporting only
1928 the basic HTTP proxy functionality.
1930 * SoupCookieJarSqlite, a SoupSessionFeature that handles
1931 cookies and stores them in a Firefox 3-compatible sqlite
1932 file. (This is not actually a "GNOME-specific" feature,
1933 but I didn't want to make libsoup itself depend on
1934 sqlite, and I didn't want to make the dependency
1935 optional. This might change before 2.26.)
1937 * SOUP_TYPE_GNOME_FEATURES_2_26: a SoupSessionFeature type
1938 that can be added to a SoupSession to add all
1939 GNOME-integration features that are available for 2.26;
1940 as of 2.25.1, this is just the GNOME proxy resolver, but
1941 by 2.26.0 it may also include gnome-keyring support and
1942 possibly other features.
1944 Applications/libraries that are currently doing GConf proxy
1945 lookup by hand can be updated as follows:
1947 * Remove all of the existing code that listens to the
1948 GConf keys and sets SOUP_SESSION_PROXY_URI
1950 * Change the configure check to require
1951 "libsoup-gnome-2.4 >= 2.25.1" instead of "libsoup-2.4"
1953 * #include <libsoup/soup-gnome.h>
1955 * After creating your SoupSession, do:
1957 soup_session_add_feature_by_type (session, SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME);
1959 (Or alternatively, use SOUP_SESSION_ADD_FEATURE_BY_TYPE
1960 with soup_session_async_new_with_options() or
1961 soup_session_sync_new_with_options().)
1964 Other new features and bug fixes in 2.25.1 include:
1966 * SoupCookieJarText, like SoupCookieJarSqlite, but using the
1967 old-style cookies.txt format, and in the base libsoup rather
1970 * Various bugfixes to SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar to fix the
1971 problems with cookies not working on certain sites.
1973 * The new SoupMultipart type provides support for multipart
1974 MIME bodies, and soup-form now includes several methods for
1975 generating and parsing multipart form data and file uploads.
1977 * SoupMessageHeaders now has methods for easy handling of the
1978 Content-Type, Content-Disposition, Range, and Content-Range
1979 headers. The Content-Disposition handling recognizes
1980 RFC2231-encoded UTF-8 filenames.
1982 * SoupServer now automatically handles partial GET requests;
1983 if your server returns SOUP_STATUS_OK in response to a
1984 partial GET, libsoup will automatically convert it to a
1985 SOUP_STATUS_PARTIAL_CONTENT response with only the requested
1988 Thanks to Xan Lopez and Diego Escalante Urrelo for their work
1989 on SoupCookie, SoupCookieJar, SoupCookieJarText, and
1990 SoupCookieJarSqlite.
1992 Changes in libsoup from 2.24.0.1 to 2.24.1:
1994 * Fixed a crash when unreffing the session from a
1995 soup_session_queue_message() callback [#533473], and added
1996 regression test. In particular, this fixes a crash in
1997 seahorse when trying to connect to a non-responsive
2000 * Fixed an infinite loop when giving a bad password to a site
2001 that uses non-standard capitalization in the
2002 WWW-Authenticate header (eg, gmail.com) [#536285].
2004 * Fixed a leak in SoupSessionAsync when using a non-default
2005 GMainContext. [addendum to #498509, Arnout Vandecappelle]
2006 Added additional code to the regression tests to make sure
2007 sessions and servers do not get leaked.
2009 * Fixed a leak in the XML-RPC code
2011 * Compile fixes for "gcc -pedantic" [#553976, Sander Dijkhuis]
2012 and -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED / -DG_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES
2013 [#557072, Cosimo Cecchi]
2015 * Patched xmlrpc-test to accept the incorrect response to
2016 test_echo() that php-xmlrpc gives when it's built against
2017 libxml2 >= 2.7.1 (qv http://bugs.php.net/45996), so that
2018 I can "make distcheck"...
2020 * Updated generated documentation
2022 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.92 to 2.24.0.1:
2024 * Reverted part of the fix for #528882, which caused the DAAP
2025 plugin in rhythmbox to crash. [#553466]
2027 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.91 to 2.23.92:
2029 * Fixed the handling of a 302 response to a HEAD request,
2030 which should NOT be treated like a 303 response. [#551190,
2033 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.6 to 2.23.91:
2035 * Fixed a crash in gvfs [#528882], though there is still an
2036 unknown bug there. As part of this fix, libsoup will now
2037 return an error if you try to do an operation on a non-HTTP
2038 URI. (Previously it was just treating any URI scheme except
2041 * Added soup_date_to_timeval() for gvfs. [#549006, patch from
2044 Changes in libsoup from 2.23.1 to 2.23.6:
2046 * Fixed use of g_idle_add() so that heavy I/O won't end up
2047 blocking libsoup callbacks. [#536676, Benjamin Otte]
2049 * Allow the caller to override the Host header. [#539803, Marc
2052 * Properly handle responses larger than 4G. [#539861, Peter
2055 * Fixed the build when using certain LDFLAGS [#541506, Götz
2058 * Fixed a small bug in Digest auth handling. [#544681, Mads
2061 * Fixed multiple Windows bugs [Tor Lillqvist]
2063 Changes in libsoup from 2.4.1 to 2.23.1:
2065 * This is the first unstable release leading up to GNOME 2.24.
2066 Bumped the libsoup version number up to 2.23.x to match the
2067 GNOME version; note that the API version is still "2.4",
2068 meaning in particular that you still call it "libsoup-2.4"
2069 when using pkg-config.
2071 * Added SoupSessionFeature, an interface type that will be
2072 used for several new features. Ported SoupLogger and
2073 SoupAuthManager to use it.
2075 * Added SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar. This API is already
2076 being used in Epiphany, via WebKit, but it is not yet
2079 * Fixed GnuTLS support on Win32. [#528752, Marc Maurer]
2081 Changes in libsoup from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1:
2083 * Fixed SoupMessage to not downgrade to HTTP/1.0 for the
2084 second attempt when it receives an HTTP/1.0 redirect or 401.
2085 [#521848, Tommu Komulainen]
2087 * Fixed Host: header syntax when the host is an IPv6 address
2090 * Fixed SoupSession to not emit "authenticate" multiple times
2091 for messages that have been requeued. [#522601, Tommi
2092 Komulainen]. Also added two new signals to SoupSession,
2093 request-queued and request-unqueued, to help simplify
2094 certain session-helpers and avoid bugs like this in the
2097 * Fixed soup_server_pause_message() to actually work (rather
2098 than *un*pausing the message).
2100 * Added a property SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT that can be used
2101 to set a timeout after which idle connections will
2102 automatically be closed. [#518214, Jorn Baayen]
2104 * Implemented RFC 2069-style Digest auth, and fixed SoupAuth
2105 to compare auth scheme names case-insensitively, to fix
2106 authentication against Apple's calendar server. [#498484]
2108 * Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDomainDigest if the client provided
2109 an unrecognized username. [pointed out by Curtis Magyar on
2112 * Fixed a few SoupDate bugs. (In particular, it was outputting
2113 the wrong day of the week when stringifying dates.)
2115 * Improved the cleanup of idle connections, to fix slow load
2116 times with the libsoup backend of WebKit.
2118 * Added a new SoupMessage signal "wrote-body-data" that can be
2119 used for progress information when sending a large request
2120 body. Also allow providing the request body in multiple
2121 chunks even when using Content-Length encoding. [#525101,
2124 * libsoup now ignores SIGPIPE globally, instead of
2125 un-thread-safe-ly ignoring it only around network writes. In
2126 particular, this means it is ignored when the SSL code needs
2127 to unexpectedly do a write when we asked it to do a read.
2128 [#524397, Curtis Magyar]
2130 * The discard-body-chunks-once-they're-no-longer-needed
2131 behavior, confusingly called SOUP_MESSAGE_OVERWRITE_CHUNKS,
2132 is now controlled by a SoupMessageBody method
2133 (soup_message_body_set_accumulate()), and can be applied to
2134 either the request body or the response body.
2135 (OVERWRITE_CHUNKS is still available for backward
2136 compatibility.) [#522146, Christian Kellner]
2138 * The DNS cache no longer caches "no such host" results, since
2139 some name servers lie to clients outside their firewall,
2140 which could then cause problems for laptops moved between
2141 networks. [#523269, Jörgen Scheibengruber]
2143 * Added some new regression tests, fixed some small bugs in
2146 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.4 to 2.4.0:
2148 * Fixed a small memory leak in SoupSession. [#518798, Wouter
2151 * Minor fixes to redirect behavior; PROPFINDs can now be
2152 automatically redirected (pointed out by Christian Kellner),
2153 and 302 is treated like 307, not 303. Also fixed to make
2154 sure that redirect-test actually gets run by "make check".
2156 * The SoupSocket I/O methods now set nread/nwrote even on
2157 error. [Benjamin Otte]
2159 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.2 to 2.3.4:
2161 * The documentation should be accessible from devhelp again
2162 [#518384, Mart Raudsepp]. (Also fixed another
2163 documentation-generation bug that affected builds from svn,
2164 but not the 2.3.2 tarball for some reason. [#518317,
2167 * Fixed dependencies in libsoup-2.4.pc file [#517631,
2170 Changes in libsoup from 2.3.0.1 to 2.3.2:
2172 API changes / Behavior changes:
2174 * soup_server_add_auth_domain() now refs the auth domain when
2175 adding it. (soup_server_remove_auth_domain() already
2176 unreffed it.) This means existing applications using
2177 SoupAuthDomain will now have a small memory leak. Those
2178 applications should update their libsoup-2.4 requirement to
2179 ">= 2.3.2" at some point before the final GNOME 2.22.0
2180 release, and then fix the code to unref the auth domain
2181 after adding it to the server.
2183 * SoupSession's automatic redirect-handling behavior now obeys
2184 RFC 2616 more closely. In particular, status codes 300 and
2185 304 are no longer mistakenly considered redirects; POSTs
2186 that receive 303 are now redirected into GETs; and POSTs
2187 that receive 301, 302, or 307 are now not redirected.
2189 Applications that were using the SOUP_MESSAGE_NO_REDIRECT
2190 flag to prevent libsoup from redirecting POSTs incorrectly
2191 before should now be able to remove that if they depend on
2192 libsoup-2.4 >= 2.3.2.
2196 * Added a SOUP_SESSION_USER_AGENT property to SoupSession, and
2197 SOUP_SERVER_SERVER_HEADER to SoupServer, to support
2198 automatically adding "User-Agent" and "Server" headers to
2199 messages. (The default behavior is to do nothing, as
2202 * Added several new methods to soup-forms.h. Applications that
2203 are encoding a fixed set of form fields can now just pass
2204 them to soup_form_encode(), rather than needing to construct
2205 a GHashTable or GData list. (Likewise, the new
2206 soup_uri_set_query_from_fields() behaves similarly for
2207 directly updating a URI with form data.) There are also now
2208 soup_form_request_new() and other related methods, to
2209 directly create a GET or POST SoupMessage for submitting a
2212 The original soup_form_* methods have all been renamed,
2213 although #defines exist for backward compatibility.
2215 * Added soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() and
2216 soup_buffer_new_with_owner(), to give applications more
2217 control over memory usage/copying when doing streaming HTTP.
2218 [Wouter Cloetens, #513810].
2220 * Added several new methods to soup-value-utils.h for working
2221 with multiple array or hash table values at once:
2222 soup_value_hash_new_with_vals(),
2223 soup_value_hash_insert_vals(),
2224 soup_value_hash_lookup_vals(),
2225 soup_value_array_new_with_vals(), and
2226 soup_value_array_append_vals().
2228 This helps to simplify XML-RPC calls that send or receive
2231 * Added soup_date_to_time_t().
2233 * Added SoupMessageHeadersIterator, an iterator type for
2234 SoupMessageHeaders that can be used instead of
2235 soup_message_headers_foreach().
2239 * Fixed a crash-when-idle in evolution-exchange [#437835] and
2240 rhythmbox [#506552].
2242 * Added the API version to the gtk-doc installation dir, to
2243 prevent parallel-installation problems with libsoup 2.2 and
2244 2.4. [#512810, Daniel Gryniewicz].
2246 * Fixed tests/query-test to compile correctly on Solaris.
2247 [#513602, patch from Jeff Cai]
2249 * Fixed some other minor HTTP conformance issues.
2253 * Although not present in the release tarball, there are now
2254 experimental python bindings for libsoup in GNOME subversion
2255 (in the python/ subdirectory of libsoup trunk). These are
2256 not yet stable (and are not built by default or installed
2257 even when building from svn), but comments on them are
2258 welcome at libsoup-list@gnome.org
2260 Changes in libsoup from the 2.2 series to 2.3.0.1:
2262 libsoup 2.3.0 is the first beta release of the libsoup 2.4
2263 series. It is an API break from the earlier 2.2 series that
2264 fixes various bugs and API warts and lays the groundwork for
2265 language bindings and various new features in upcoming
2268 (2.3.0.1 is identical to the 2.3.0 release in terms of code,
2269 but includes this updated NEWS file which was accidentally
2270 left out of the 2.3.0 tarball.)
2272 http://library.gnome.org/devel/libsoup/unstable/libsoup-porting-2.2-2.4.html
2273 goes over the API changes in detail. If you have questions not
2274 answered by the porting document, please send mail to
2275 libsoup-list@gnome.org.
2277 Specific user-reported bugs fixed in this release:
2279 * SoupURI now correctly handles URIs with complex encoded
2280 queries [#266516, Jean-Yves Lefort]
2282 * It is now possible for a SoupServer to use Digest auth
2283 without needing to have the cleartext password available.
2284 [#347108, Anas Nashif]
2286 * Digest authentication now properly handles "stale=true" and
2287 "nextnonce=..." [#471380, Jari Urpalainen]
2289 * SoupServer is now subclassible [#491653, Mathias Hasselmann]
2291 * soup_server_run_async and soup_server_quit no longer ref and
2292 unref the server, as that doesn't match ordinary GObject
2293 conventions [#494128, Mathias Hasselmann]
2295 * The test programs no longer use a symbol name that conflicts
2296 with Cygwin [#501631, Cygwin Ports Maintainer]
2298 * libsoup can now handle the not-quite-HTTP responses returned
2299 by Shoutcast servers [#502325, Wouter Cloetens]
2301 * If you use libsoup while disconnected from the network, it
2302 no longer caches the failed DNS results [#508593, Bradley
2305 Items from http://live.gnome.org/LibSoup/ToDo fixed:
2307 * "Expect: 100-continue" processing now works correctly on
2308 both client and server.
2310 * SoupSessions are no longer leaked
2312 * The XML-RPC API is improved. The SOAP API is gone...
2314 * Added utility functions for HTML form handling
2316 * Improved message header handling
2318 * SoupServer now automatically adds a "Date" header
2322 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.103 to 2.2.104:
2324 * soup_message_io_pause() and soup_message_io_pause() are now
2325 allowed for client messages (and in particular, they don't
2326 mess up when called from the "got_chunk" callback).
2327 [#452280, Marco Barisione]
2329 * Fixed some bugs in SOUP_SESSION_ASYNC_CONTEXT support that
2330 would cause parts of an operation to run in the default
2331 context rather than the session's context. Also fixed some
2332 leaks and added a regression test. [#498509, Wouter
2335 * There is a new test/sample program, tests/pull-api.c,
2336 showing how to implement a pull API using SoupSessionAsync.
2337 (This depends on the fixes for #452280 and #498509, so it
2338 won't work with older versions of libsoup.)
2340 * Discovered "valgrind --leak-resolution=med" and fixed some
2343 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.102 to 2.2.103:
2345 * Fix memory corruption in SoupSessionAsync that caused
2346 rhythmbox to crash. [#484988, patch from Rob Bradford]
2348 * Fix socket refcounting in SoupServer to fix warnings /
2349 possible crash. [#459896, Emanuele Aina]
2351 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.101 to 2.2.102:
2353 * Unbreak the build when building without SSL. Not that you
2354 should be building without SSL anyway, but... (reported by
2357 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.100 to 2.2.101:
2359 * Fix build on cygwin [384498]
2361 * Fix SSL rehandshaking on synchronous sockets [415402, Jacob
2362 Berkman] and add a regression test for it.
2364 * Fix two bugs in https tunnels over proxies that require
2365 authentication (noticed by Varadhan), and add a regression
2368 * Ensure that if you queue multiple messages at once to an
2369 http server that requires authentication but that you
2370 haven't authenticated to yet, that all of the messages get
2371 properly authenticated [271540, James Willcox]. And add a
2372 regression test for it.
2374 * Fix NTLM authentication, which got broken by the previous
2375 fix. [471389, Varadhan]. Add a basic NTLM regression test
2376 that doesn't really test the crypto/encoding parts, but at
2377 least makes sure that the message flow is correct.
2379 * Allow trailing whitespace after HTTP version in
2380 Response-Line, for compatibility with broken servers
2381 [475169, Stephane Loeuillet]. Add that case to the
2382 header-parsing regression test.
2384 * Fix crash when the session's "authenticate" handler returns
2385 a username and no password when using NTLM. [480987, Wendell
2388 * Use "new" glib base64 and iso8601 methods rather than
2389 duplicating them. [337010, patch from Emmanuele Bassi].
2391 * Implement soup_session_queue_message() for SoupSessionSync.
2393 * Add G_BEGIN_DECLS / G_END_DECLS to all headers that were
2394 missing them. [438776, patch from Jonathon Jongsma].
2396 * Fix broken definition of SOUP_IS_MESSAGE_FILTER_CLASS. Noted
2397 by "cascardo" on libsoup-list.
2399 * Remove documentation of non-public MD5 methods [440092,
2400 Jonathon Jongsma]. Removed a mysterious half-sentence in the
2401 SoupMessage docs [458116, Marco Barisione].
2403 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.99 to 2.2.100:
2405 * Fixed soup_headers_parse_status_line() so WebDAV response
2406 parsing will work again. [406997]
2408 * Fixed a bug in the header-parsing regression test that
2409 caused the test to fail sometimes, even though the actual
2410 header-parsing code was fine.
2412 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.98 to 2.2.99:
2414 * Fixed header parsing, including a crash in SoupServer with
2415 certain malformed requests [391970].
2417 * Fixed redirection to other hosts with SoupSessionAsync.
2420 * Fixed a small memory leak pointed out by Chris Austin.
2422 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.97 to 2.2.98:
2424 * The XML-RPC code now correctly interprets <value>foo</value>
2425 as meaning the same thing as
2426 <value><string>foo</string></value>. [364490] Pointed out by
2429 * Memory leak fixes from Andrew W. Nosenko.
2431 * A few symbols that should have been static before now are.
2432 [376387] Patch from Matthias Clasen.
2434 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.96 to 2.2.97:
2436 * Fixed SOAP and XML-RPC code to handle whitespace and
2437 comments in the XML better. (Based on a patch from Andrew W.
2440 * Fixed lots of typecasting/constness warnings in the code
2441 (mostly via a patch from Andrew W. Nosenko)
2443 * Fixed build on Cygwin [321827]
2445 * Fixed libsoup-2.2.pc fields [343340] and make it get
2446 uninstalled correctly [356809]. (Mikhail Zabaluev and
2449 * Fixed some small leaks in SoupServer pointed out by Paolo
2452 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.95.1 to 2.2.96:
2454 * SoupServer now works even if you don't explicitly set an
2455 encoding for the response. (In particular, the automatic 404
2456 if you request a path with no handlers now works. Problem
2457 pointed out by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn.)
2459 * WWW-Authenticate and Proxy-Authenticate responses with no
2460 realm parameter are now ignored, as per RFC 2617, fixing a
2461 crash pointed out by Nate Nielsen.
2463 * Added soup_xmlrpc_message_from_string(), from Fernando
2466 * simple-httpd and "get" now support HEAD
2468 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.94 to 2.2.95.1:
2470 * Even more fixes to XML-RPC, found by the new XML-RPC
2471 regression test. This includes some API changes that I don't
2472 feel guilty about, because the code totally didn't work at
2475 * Fixed a bug in soup_mktime_utc()
2477 * (2.2.95 was identical to 2.2.95.1. The only difference is
2478 that the shared library version was belatedly bumped from
2479 8.2.0 to 8.3.0 to reflect the API "additions")
2481 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.93 to 2.2.94:
2483 * Various fixes to the XML-RPC code (which apparently had not
2484 actually ever worked before) from Brent Smith. [343973,
2487 * Added client and server API tutorials to the docs
2489 * auth-test now uses a local Apache 2.2 install, if possible,
2490 rather than depending on files that used to be on an old
2491 Ximian web server but haven't been anywhere for a long time.
2494 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.92 to 2.2.93:
2496 * Fixed outgoing data corruption caused when SoupServer
2497 started writing out a response a second time after already
2498 having started once. [334469]. Also fixed 342640 and another
2499 bug caused by the workaround for 334469 in 2.2.92. Based on
2500 patches and analysis from William Jon McCann and Armin
2503 * Fixed a deadlock when changing a session's proxy URI.
2504 [309867 / bnc 174255, based on a patch by Veerapuram
2507 * Fixed https-via-proxies in the synchronous case. [bnc 174255]
2509 * Fixed a crash in evolution-exchange [342545, fix based on an
2510 analysis by Wang Xin].
2512 * Fixed simple-proxy to not crash at startup. Oops. (Alex
2515 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.91 to 2.2.92:
2517 * Fixed server-side digest auth to return a valid "algorithm"
2518 value and client-side to not crash if it sees an invalid one
2521 * Fixed the Request-Line parsing code to not hardcode a
2522 maximum URI length (to allow very long DAAP requests from
2523 iTunes in Rhythmbox). [335040]
2525 * Fixed some warnings (signed/unsigned mismatch).
2527 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.7 to 2.2.91:
2529 * (The large version number bump is because there was an
2530 internal 2.2.90 release for SUSE 10.1 alphas, which was
2531 supposed to be intermediate between 2.2.7 and 2.4.0. But
2532 2.4.0 didn't end up happening, and I don't want to regress
2533 the version number at this point.)
2535 * SoupSession, SoupServer, SoupConnection, SoupSocket, and
2536 SoupAddress now have an "async-context" property that allows
2537 you to use the async API in a non-default GMainContext.
2538 [Based on patches from Armin Bauer and Jürg Billeter.]
2540 * SoupSession, SoupConnection, and SoupSocket now have a
2541 "timeout" property to stop synchronous sockets from hanging
2542 forever if the remote end is unresponsive (from Varadhan).
2544 * Fixed some bugs in soup_date_iso8601_parse(). [324671, from
2547 * More Windows build fixes from Tor.
2549 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6.1 to 2.2.7:
2551 * Fixed a crash when using NTLM connections [316313, probably
2552 also 318252]. (Also 321208, which was a bug introduced in
2553 the original fix for 316313.)
2555 * Fixed a bug that could cause soup to suck up all available
2556 CPU when a connection to a SoupServer was dropped by the
2557 other side [319305, patch from Jonathan Matthew]
2559 * Fixed the creation of struct elements in XMLRPC messages
2560 [321362, patch from Sebastian Bauer]
2562 * Plugged a small memory leak in SoupSocket (from Wang Xin).
2564 * Fixed two compile problems, a gccism [320349, patch from
2565 Roland Illig], and a strict-aliasing warning from gcc 4.1.
2567 Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6 to 2.2.6.1:
2569 * Fixed a crash when using SoupSoapMessage
2571 Changes from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6:
2573 * Fixed a crash when canceling a message (from Tambet Ingo)
2575 * Fixed a bug where a connection could be leaked forever in
2576 some circumstances if a request got a 30x, 401, or 407
2577 response, eventually causing a hang when the session hit its
2578 maximum connection limit. (Dan/Tambet)
2580 * Fixed a memory leak. (Tambet)
2582 * Fixed a bug that would sometimes show up when connecting to
2583 a server on localhost [#312540]
2585 * Added some API to SoupServer and SoupSocket to help fix a
2586 long-standing rcd bug.
2588 Changes from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5:
2590 * Win32 support (from Tor Lillqvist)
2592 * Up-to-date API documentation pretty much everywhere
2594 * Basic XMLRPC support (from Mariano Suarez-Alvarez, Fernando
2595 Herrera, and Jeff Bailey)
2597 * New HTTP timestamp-manipulation methods soup_date_parse,
2598 soup_date_generate, and soup_date_iso8601_parse.
2600 * SoupSession now handles relative URLs in the Location header
2601 (in violation of RFC 2616, but in line with how some servers
2604 Changes from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4:
2606 * Fixed a problem with NTLM authentication against
2607 multi-domain servers. [306877]
2609 * Fixed DNS lookups on Solaris. [254551, 268389]
2611 Changes from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3:
2613 * Now compiles against gnutls 1.2.0 [257811]
2615 * Fixed a bug that could result in 100% CPU usage if an SSL
2616 server closed the connection uncleanly. [273352]
2618 Changes from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2:
2620 * The SSL validation fix from 2.2.1 [264414] is now completely
2621 fixed. (Part of the fix didn't actually make it into 2.2.1)
2623 * HTTPS certificate validation now works when using an HTTP
2626 * HTTP proxy code deals better with proxies that try to make
2627 the user do HTML-form-based authentication. [268531]
2629 * 64-bit fixes for NTLM auth code. [270323, from Michael
2632 Changes from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1:
2634 * Updated for a libgcrypt API change between 1.1.9x and 1.2.x
2635 that caused a crash at runtime if you compiled against
2638 * SSL certificate validation failure should now always result
2639 in a status of SOUP_STATUS_SSL_FAILED, rather than getting
2640 turned into SOUP_STATUS_IO_ERROR. [264414]
2643 Changes in libsoup from the 2.0 series (1.99.x versions) to 2.2:
2645 * Most of the libsoup datatypes are now GObjects. (SoupUri
2646 is currently an exception to this.)
2648 * SoupMessage now emits signals at various stages of
2649 processing. (Eg, "wrote_body", "got_headers".) (You
2650 can also still use soup_message_add_*handler().)
2652 * SoupContexts are gone; soup_message_new() now takes a URI
2655 * All formerly global state is now maintained by the
2656 SoupSession object. (This includes the connection pool,
2657 proxy server, cached authentication information, SSL
2660 * You can create a SoupSessionAsync (for 2.0-like
2661 behavior) or SoupSessionSync (for blocking,
2664 * You can add SoupMessageFilter objects to a session
2665 to have certain processing automatically performed
2666 on every message sent via that session. (Eg, setting
2669 * NTLM authentication is no longer supported by
2670 default. You must enable it by setting the
2671 SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM flag on the session.
2673 * The preferred method of handling authentication is
2674 now via the "authenticate" and "reauthenticate"
2675 signals on SoupSession. (The old style, of encoding
2676 the user and password information into the url is
2677 also still supported.)
2679 * The SOUP_ERROR_* values are now SOUP_STATUS_* (so that we
2680 don't have "SOUP_ERROR_OK" and the like).
2682 * SOUP_MESSAGE_IS_ERROR() is gone, since some cases
2683 want to include 3xx responses and some don't.
2685 * SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE and
2686 SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE_PROXY are now gone,
2687 since they didn't carry any information that
2688 SOUP_STATUS_UNAUTHORIZED and
2689 SOUP_STATUS_PROXY_UNAUTHORIZED don't.
2691 * DNS errors now show up as the new status code
2692 SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than being mixed in
2693 with SOUP_ERROR_CANT_CONNECT.
2695 * Minimal SOAP support has been added back, via
2696 SoupSoapMessage/SoupSoapResponse
2698 * The HTTP I/O state machine was completely rewritten, fixing
2699 numerous crashes, leaks, and protocol errors.
2701 * SoupUri now conforms to RFC 2396. Mostly.
2703 * Various test programs have been added under tests/
2707 * Support for OpenSSL (which was horribly buggy) and
2708 Mozilla NSS (which was never finished). We only
2709 support GNUTLS for SSL now.
2713 * CGI support in SoupServer
