Note: ABI issue
Changes in libsoup from 2.54.0.1 to 2.54.1:
* *** IMPORTANT ***
Fixed an ABI break in 2.54.0 caused by adding a member to
SoupAuthClass; 2.54.1 is ABI-compatible with 2.53.92 and
earlier, but NOT with the anomalous 2.54.0. If you built
packages against 2.54.0, you will need to rebuild them
against 2.54.1.
* Fixed NTLM authentication when ntlm_auth from the latest
version of Samba is present. [#765106, Milan Crha]
* Updates to MSVC build, including for GSS-API support
[Chun-wei Fan]
* Updated translations:
Friulian
Add gssapi option (default off)
Changes in libsoup from 2.53.92 to 2.54.0.1:
* (2.54.0.1 fixes a build problem with the 2.54.0 tarball,
which would not build if you configured with
"--without-gnome". There are no other changes between 2.54.0
and 2.54.0.1.)
* Fixed examples/simple-httpd on Windows [#758759, Chun-wei
Fan]
Changes in libsoup from 2.53.90 to 2.53.92:
* libsoup now supports HTTP "Negotiate"/GSSAPI/Kerberos
authentication. It must be enabled specifically by the
application and is also subject to certain other
restrictions, some of which are not yet controllable through
the API. [#587145, Guido Guenther, Tomas Popela, David
Woodhouse, Dan Winship]
* Added support for building under MSVC [#758759, Chun-wei
Fan]
* Fixed a problem with the 2.53.90 tarball that caused
translations to be mis-installed.
* Updated translations:
Occitan
Changes in libsoup from 2.53.2 to 2.53.90:
* NUL bytes in headers are now ignored [#760832, Dan Winship]
* Fixed transfer annotation of soup_form_decode* functions
[#743966, Lionel Landwerlin]
* Updated translations:
Bulgarian, Latvian, Norwegian bokmål
Changes in libsoup from 2.53.1 to 2.53.2:
* Fixed up symbol visibility handling for mingw by copying
GLib's system [Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, #757146]
* Finally marked the old SoupSessionAsync and SoupSessionSync
methods as deprecated [Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Dan Winship,
#757146]
* Added libsoup-2.4.deps for valac [Rico Tzschichholz]
* Make it possible to build from git without gtk-doc being
installed [Ignacio Casal Quinteiro]
* Updated translations:
Norwegian bokmål, Occitan
Changes in libsoup from 2.52.1 to 2.53.1:
* Really fixed build under MinGW for sure this time [Ignacio
Casal Quinteiro]
* Fixed SoupServer Web Sockets code so that the
SoupClientContext passed to a SoupServerWebsocketCallback is
fully usable (rather than crashing when you try to do most
things).
Libsoup is an HTTP library implementation in C. It was originally part
of a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation called Soup, but
the SOAP and non-SOAP parts have now been split into separate packages.
libsoup uses the Glib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK
applications. This enables GNOME applications to access HTTP servers
on the network in a completely asynchronous fashion, very similar to
the Gtk+ programming model (a synchronous operation mode is also
supported for those who want it).
Features:
* Completely Asynchronous
* Connection cache
* HTTP chunked transfer support
* HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 authenticated proxy support
* SSL Support using OpenSSL or GnuTLS
* Client support for Digest, NTLM, and Basic authentication
* HTTP server
* Server support for Digest and Basic authentication
