2.0.8
-----
* New API:
gnet_conn_set_main_context
gnet_conn_http_set_main_context
gnet_inetaddr_new_async_full
gnet_inetaddr_new_list_async_full
gnet_inetaddr_get_name_async_full
gnet_tcp_socket_connect_async_full
gnet_tcp_socket_new_async_full
gnet_tcp_socket_new_async_direct_full
gnet_unix_socket_new_abstract
gnet_unix_socket_server_new_abstract
gnet_uri_parse_inplace
* GConnHttp API is no longer marked as experimental
* Fix major memory leak in GConnHttp
* gnet_init() can now safely be called
more than once now
* Fix crash when gnet_conn_http_delete()
is called from within the user callback.
* GConnHttp: do not emit data events for
pages that are being redirected to a
new location.
* GConnHttp: add gnet_conn_http_set_escaped_uri()
(Samuel Cormier-Iijima)
* Eliminate direct pthread usage on unix
and use GLib GThreads instead (also
fixes problems with gdb and valgrind)
(Andreas Rottmann)
* Dropped support for GLib-1.2
* Fix build on old systems that have
a __ss_family member in struct
sockaddr_storage instead of
ss_family (Jeremy Denise)
* GConnHttp: Documentation fixes
* Fix compilation with --enable-debug
on some 64-bit architectures like
amd64 (Daniel Gryniewicz)
* GConnHttp: fix several timeout issues
(Steve Morris, Tim Muller).
* GConnHttp: fix parsing of POST method
response when there are optional headers
after the 100-Continue response (#459895).
* Relicense source code in examples/
directory from GPL to LGPL.
* Add 'extern "C"' guards to pack.h to
make things work with c++ compilers
(thanks to Adriano Winter Bess).
* New API: gnet_conn_write_direct() to
write buffers asynchroneously without
copying them (Jeff Garzik)
* Fix for race condition and subsequent
crash in asynchroneous DNS lookup
(Steve Morris, Tim Müller)
* Pass correct size parameters to bind()
and connect() when creating unix sockets
(Zeeshan Ali, #403197)
* New API: gnet_unix_socket_new_abstract()
and gnet_unix_socket_server_new_abstract()
add support for abstract unix sockets on
systems where this is supported
(Zeeshan Ali, #404583)
* Remove unused and pointless fork() fallback
for asynchronous DNS lookups in cases where
GLib has been compiled without threading
support. It's 2007 - I think it's in order
to require threading to be present; even my
wrist watch can do that. Removs lots of
unmaintained code and ugly #ifdefs.
(Released Feb 3, 2008)
2.0.7
-----
* Ship API documentation pre-built as HTML
* Build fixes for mingw on win32 (Gisle Vanem)
(Released Feb 23, 2005)
2.0.6
-----
* New experimental HTTP Conn module (Tim Muller)
* Misc bug fixes:
- pthread detection
- escaping of high Latin-1 characters
- base64 encoding
- doc fixes (gnet_base64_encode)
- fix crash when doing dns lookup on ipv6-enabled
win32 systems (only if gnet has been built
using configure/autotools)
(Released Feb 18, 2005)
Package change:
Drop maintainership.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
Changes:
* Many Win32 fixes
* Desciptor leak fixed in TCP sockets
* GConn 100% CPU bug fix
* Bug fix for URIs with high Latin-1 characters
* IPv6 fix for inetaddr_get_canonical_name()
* New echoserver-partyline example
* Miscellaneous clean-ups
* DNS bug fixes
* FreeBSD compile fixes and UDP send bug fix
* New functions: gnet_{udp,mcast}_socket_get_local_inetaddr
* Build improvements: library is now named libgnet-MAJOR.MINOR,
favors GLib 2 over GLib 1.2
* New Base64 module (by Alfred Reibenschuh)
* Major documentation improvements
* Some minor API renaming in Inetaddr and TcpSocket
* IPv6 support
* Server, Conn, URI, and Unix modules are no longer "experimental"
* Header files are now in gnet-2.0
* gnet-config removed. Use pkg-config.
* Many API changes
* gnet_server_new() changed, but the prototype is the same. Make sure
you are using the new version correctly.
* Fixed major bug in IO channel code from 1.1.6
* IOChannels are non-buffering, non-encoded by default (for GLib 2.0)
* examples are now build by default
* gnet_inetaddr_list_interfaces() bug fix
* FreeBSD compile fix (affected gnet_inetaddr_list_interfaces())
* New gnet_init() function. This should be called in main(). [1]
* GNet now properly links to libgthread (if necessary)
* More automated test cases
* Several compile fixes and small bug fixes
* Package now includes a buildlink2.mk
GNet is a simple network library. It is written in C, object-oriented,
and built upon GLib. It is intended to be small, fast, easy-to-use,
and easy to port. GNet comes with documentation and examples.
