  2. * Interface changes:
  3. - API and ABI backwards-compatible with 0.27.x and later
  4. - NE_SESSFLAG_SSLv2 is now ignored
  5. * New interfaces and features:
  6. - ne_request.h: add ne_get_response_location(),

  27. * Interface changes:
  28. - API and ABI backwards-compatible with 0.27.x and later
  29. * Interface clarifications:
  30. - ne_locks.h: note that returned lock may have a different URI
  31. than the path passed to ne_lock_discover() due to added
  32. support for RFC 4918 "lockroot" in lock discovery
  33. - ne_request.h: ne_request_create() takes a "target" rather
  34. than a path and this can also be an absolute-URI

  50. applied if a read timeout is configured and 1XXTIMEOUT is enabled
  51. - ne_request.h: add NE_REQFLAG_1XXTIMEOUT
  52. * Bug fixes:
  53. - test suite now works correctly on IPv6-only hosts (Jeremy Sowden)

  63. Changes in release 0.32.5:
  64. * NOTE: Since 0.32.0 the "$KRB5_CONFIG" environment variable is ignored
  65. when running configure. Use KRB5_CONF_TOOL instead to specify an
  66. alternative to /usr/bin/krb5-config.
  67. * Fail for configure --with-gssapi if GSSAPI can't be enabled (issue #102)

  71. * Fix Digest regression in allowing implicit algorithm= (issue #88)
  72. * Fix Digest to safely allow spaces in usernames (without userhash)
  73. * ne_ssl_trust_default_ca() now uses the system's trusted CAs
  74. with GnuTLS where supported (matching behaviour of OpenSSL)
  75. Changes in release 0.32.3:

  89. Changes in release 0.32.0:
  90. * Interface changes:
  91. - API and ABI backwards-compatible with 0.27.x and later
  92. - NE_AUTH_DIGEST now only enables RFC 2617/7616 auth by default;
  93. to enable weaker RFC 2069 Digest, use NE_AUTH_LEGACY_DIGEST
  94. (treated as a security enhancement, not an API/ABI break)
  95. * Interface clarifications:
  96. - ne_auth.h: use of non-ASCII usernames with the ne_auth_creds
  97. callback type is now rejected for Digest auth since the
  98. encoding is not specified. ne_add_auth() can be used instead.
  99. - ne_request.h: the ne_create_request_fn callback is passed the
  100. request-target using RFC 7230 terminology
  101. * New interfaces and features:
  102. - ne_string.h: added ne_strhash(), ne_vstrhash(), ne_strparam()
  103. - ne_auth.h: added RFC 7616 (Digest authentication) support,
  104. including userhash=, username*= and SHA-2 algorithms
  105. (SHA-2 requires GnuTLS/OpenSSL). added NE_AUTH_LEGACY_DIGEST
  106. - ne_auth.h: added ne_add_auth() unified auth callback interface,
  107. accepts (only) UTF-8 usernames, uses a larger password buffer,
  108. and has different/improved attempt counter semantics.
  109. - RFC 7617 scoping rules are now applied for Basic authentication.
  110. - ne_ssl.h: added ne_ssl_cert_hdigest()
  111. - ne_socket.h: added ne_sock_shutdown()
  112. - sendmsg()/send() are used with the MSG_NOSIGNAL flag to write to
  113. sockets on Unix, rather than write()/writev(), avoiding SIGPIPE
  114. - explicit_bzero() is used where available to clear credentials
  115. * Bug fixes:
  116. - fixed TLS connection shutdown handling for OpenSSL 3
  117. - fix various Coverity and cppcheck warnings (Sebastian Reschke)
  118. - Kerberos library detection uses pkg-config where possible.
  119. - fix some configure checks on Win32 (Christopher Degawa)
  120. - fix some configure errors on MacOS (Ryan Schmidt)

  140. - for OpenSSL builds, ne_md5 code uses the OpenSSL implementation
  141. - add NE_SESSFLAG_SHAREPOINT session flag which enables workarounds
  142. for RFC non-compliance issues in Sharepoint (thanks to
  143. Jan-Marek Glogowski and Giuseppe Castagno)
  144. - ne_uri.h: add ne_path_escapef() in support of above
  145. - ne_207.h: add ne_207_set_flags() likewise in support of above

  602. use OpenSSL headers and libraries.
  603. Changes in release 0.23.6:
  604. * Fixes for error handling in socket layer on Win32 from Johan Lindh
  605. and Sergey N Ushakov <[email protected]>:
  606. - meaningful error messages rather than "No error"
  607. - handle persistent connection timeouts properly

  619. no checks for zlib version are now performed, only OpenSSL 0.9.6 is
  620. required. --with-force-ssl, --with-force-zlib option removed.
  621. * Add --with-egd[=PATH] option, conditionally enable EGD support; either
  622. using EGD socket at PATH, or fall back on system defaults. $EGDSOCKET
  623. and $HOME/.entropy are no longer used.
  624. * Add support for `--la-file' argument to neon-config, which prints the
  625. full path of the installed libneon.la file.

  643. by Noriaki Takamiya <[email protected]>)
  644. * For a hostname with multiple addresses, each address is tried in turn
  645. until a connection is made.
  646. * Support for seeding OpenSSL's PRNG via $EGDSOCKET or $HOME/.entropy,
  647. to enable SSL on platforms which lack a /dev/random device.
  648. * RFC2818 compliance for certificate identity checks in SSL:
  649. - use `dNSname' values in subjectAltName extension if present
  650. - hostname comparison fixed to not be case-sensitive

  659. * Added reference documentation:
  660. - ne_sock_init, ne_addr_*.
  661. Changes in release 0.22.0:
  662. * Remove the const qualifier from the reason_phrase field in ne_status.

  664. * Remove the status_line argument from ne_207_end_propstat and _end_response
  665. * Change ne_session_create, ne_session_proxy, ne_sock_connect, and the
  666. 'port' field of the ne_uri structure to use an unsigned int for port numbers
  667. * ne_uri_defaultport returns unsigned and '0' on an unknown port (not -1).
  668. * Changes to hooks interface:
  669. - pass an ne_request pointer to per-request hooks
  670. - replace "accessor" hooks with ne_{get,set}_{request,session}_private
  671. * Authentication changes:
  672. - the hooks changes fix a segfault if auth is enabled for an SSL session
  673. through a proxy server
  674. - fix ne_forget_auth segfault if either proxy or server auth are not used
  675. * Improvements to persistent connection retry logic and error handling
  676. in request code; fixing some cases where some errors where incorrectly
  677. treated as a persistent connection timeout
  678. - a TCP RST at the appropriate time is now treated as a persistent
  679. connection timeout.
  680. - handle persistent connection timeouts on SSL connections
  681. * Changes to SSL support:
  682. - improved error handling
  683. - OpenSSL 0.9.6f or later is required for security fixes and functional
  684. correctness; 0.9.6 or later required for functional correctness
  685. - use --with-force-ssl to override OpenSSL version check
  686. - fix for proxy CONNECT tunnelling with some proxies (e.g. Traffic-Server)
  687. - fix potential segfault if client cert. provider callback is used
  688. - fix to use supplied password callback for PEM-encoded client certificates
  689. (Daniel Berlin <[email protected]>)
  690. * strerror_r is used if available for thread-safe error handling.
  691. * Remove ne_read_file().
  692. * ne_version_match replaces ne_version_minimum (semantics changed slightly).

  695. * Fix decompress code on big-endian or 64-bit platforms.
  696. * Fix to build on Darwin 6 (aka Mac OS X 10.2) (Wilfredo Sánchez,
  697. <[email protected]>)

  717. * More optimisation of ne_sock_readline.
  718. Changes in release 0.21.1:

  720. help interoperability with misbehaving servers (thanks to Rodney Dawes
  721. <[email protected]>).
  722. * Don't give a "truncated response" error from ne_decompress_destroy if
  723. the acceptance function returns non-zero.
  724. * Fix for Win32 build (Sander Striker <[email protected]>).
  725. * Fix for cookie name/value being free()d (thanks to Dan Mullen).
  726. * Optimisation of ne_sock_readline.

  736. * Support OpenSSL/ENGINE branch.
  737. * Bogus ne_utf8_encode/decode functions removed.
  738. * ne_base64() moved to ne_string.[ch].
  739. * ne_token drops 'quotes' parameter; ne_qtoken added.
  740. * ne_buffer_create_sized renamed to ne_buffer_ncreate.
  741. * ne_xml_get_attr takes extra arguments and can resolve namespaces.
  742. * ne_accept_response function type takes const ne_status pointer.
  743. * Drop support for automatically following redirects:
  744. - ne_redirect_register just takes a session pointer
  745. - ne_redirect_location returns an ne_uri pointer
  746. * configure changes: --with-ssl and --with-socks no longer take a directory
  747. argument. To use SOCKS or SSL libraries/headers in non-system locations,
  748. use ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/... LDFLAGS=-L/...
  749. * Reference documentation included for most of ne_alloc.h and ne_string.h,
  750. and parts of ne_session.h and ne_request.h.
  751. - see installed man pages, HTML documentation.
  752. Changes in release 0.20.0:
  753. * Major changes to DAV lock handling interface (ne_locks.h):
  754. - struct ne_lock uses a full URI structure to identify locked resource
  755. - ne_lock() requires that owner/token fields are malloc-allocated (or NULL)
  756. on entry
  757. - introduce a "lock store" type, ne_lock_store, to replace the lock session;
  758. accessor functions all renamed to ne_lockstore_*.
  759. - ne_lock_iterate replaced with a first/next "cursor"-style interface
  760. - If: headers use an absoluteURI (RFC2518 compliance fix).
  761. - fix for handling shared locks on DAV servers which return many active locks
  762. in the LOCK response (thanks to Keith Wannamaker)
  763. * Moved URI/path manipulation functions under ne_* namespace (ne_uri.h):
  764. - path handling functions renamed to ne_path_*
  765. - URI structure handling to ne_uri_*; struct uri becomes ne_uri.
  766. - ne_uri_parse doesn't take a 'defaults' parameter any more
  767. - if URI port is unspecified, ne_uri_parse sets port to 0 not -1.
  768. - added ne_uri_unparse and ne_uri_defaultport functions.
  769. * New 'ne_fill_server_uri' function to initialize a URI structure with
  770. the server details for a given session (useful with locks interface).
  771. * ne_decompress_{reader,destroy} are defined as passthrough-functions
  772. if zlib support is not enabled.
  773. * API change: ne_ssl_provide_fn returns void not int.
  774. * Added NE_SSL_FAILMASK for verify failure sanity check.
  775. * Removed return codes NE_SERVERAUTH and and NE_AUTHPROXY; correct
  776. documentation, NE_PROXYAUTH is given for proxy auth failure.
  777. * Require zlib >= 1.1.4 to avoid possible vulnerability in earlier versions.
  778. See http://www.gzip.org/zlib/advisory-2002-03-11.txt for more details.
  779. (version check can be skipped by passing --with-force-zlib to configure)
  780. * New 'ne_ssl_readable_dname' function to create a human-readable string
  781. from an X509 distinguished name.
  782. * Fix support for newer versions of libxml2 (thanks to Jon Trowbridge
  783. <[email protected]>).
  784. * Fix corruption of reason_phrase in status object returned by
  785. ne_propset_status.
  786. * More lenient handling of whitespace in response headers.
  787. * ne_content_type_handler will give a charset of "ISO-8859-1" if no charset
  788. parameter is specified for a text/* media type (as per RFC2616).
  789. * Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes (Jeff Johnson <[email protected]>).
  790. Changes in release 0.19.4:
  791. * Support bundled build of expat 1.95.x (Branko Èibej).
  792. Changes in release 0.19.3:
  793. * For platforms lacking snprintf or vsnprintf in libc, require trio.
  794. * Add NE_FMT_OFF_T to fix Win32 build (Dan Berlin, Branko Èibej).
  795. * Fix SSL support in Win32 build (Branko Èibej).
  796. Changes in release 0.19.2:
  797. * Fix non-SSL build broken in 0.19.1.
  798. * Working SOCKSv5 support (thanks to Torsten Kalix <[email protected]>)
  799. Changes in release 0.19.1:
  800. * Add missing stubs for ne_ssl_* functions for non-SSL build.
  801. * Fix some error messages in new SSL code.
  802. Changes in release 0.19.0:
  803. * Major API change: ne_session_create now takes (scheme, hostname, port)
  804. arguments: a session is clarified to be "a group of requests to a
  805. certain server".
  806. - removal of ne_session_server, ne_set_secure, and ne_set_proxy_decider
  807. - ne_session_proxy returns void.
  808. - DNS lookups are delayed until request dispatch time.
  809. * Significant improvements to TLS/SSL support:
  810. - SSL is enabled if scheme passed to ne_session_create is "https"
  811. - new interfaces to load CA certs and to load SSL library's bundled CA certs
  812. - add server cert verification callback. An SSL connection to a server
  813. with an unknown CA will now fail unless a verification callback is used.
  814. - enable SSL session caching (performance improvement)
  815. - support for wildcard server certs where commonName is "*.example.com".
  816. - thanks to Tommi Komulainen for the contribution of code from mutt's
  817. IMAP/SSL implementation under the LGPL, from which bits of this were derived.
  818. * Improved SSL client certificate support:
  819. - far simpler interface, all done at ne_session.h level.
  820. - supports PKCS#12 and PEM-encoded certificates.
  821. - optional callback for only providing client when demanded by server.
  822. * Support for TLS upgrade is removed, since it isn't useful.
  823. * If NEON_SSL is defined, API extensions are available to:
  824. - allow access to the SSL_CTX * to adjust session SSL options
  825. - retrieve the server certificate (X509 *)
  826. * Decompress fixes:
  827. - fix potential segfault in ne_decompress_destroy
  828. - check the CRC of the deflated output (and fail if it doesn't match)
  829. - fail appropriately on truncated responses, and trailing bytes in response.
  830. * Added ne_set_read_timeout to use configurable timeout on socket reads.
  831. * Malformed response headers will be ignored rather than failing the request.
  832. * ne_set_error takes printf-style vararg.
  833. * Fixes for ne_get_range and improve error handling.
  834. * Functions which append to an ne_buffer do not return a success value,
  835. but they do use ne_realloc/ne_malloc under the hood now, so an OOM callback
  836. will be used (with the usual caveats).
  837. * XML interface does not strip leading whitespace from cdata by default,
  838. the NE_XML_STRIPWS flag is available to restore this feature if required.
  839. * Upgraded to libtool 1.4.2:
  840. - should fix --enable-shared on Mac OS X 10.1
  841. * Test suite now contains over one hundred tests.
  842. Changes in release 0.18.5:
  843. * Removed old neon.dsp, neon.dsw.
  844. * Update Win32 build to add OpenSSL and zlib support (Branko Èibej).
  845. * Fix ne_compress.c to compile on Win32 (Branko Èibej).
  846. Changes in release 0.18.4:
  847. * Fixes for Content-Type parsing using ne_content_type_handler (Greg Stein)
  848. - also now parses the charset parameter from header value.
  849. * Removed ne_concat() function, which didn't work and wasn't used.
  850. Changes in release 0.18.3:
  851. * Fix parsing lock timeout from server (Arun Garg).
  852. * Send Timeout headers in LOCK and refresh LOCK requests (Arun Garg).
  853. * Updated neon.mak and config.hw.in for Win32 build (patch from
  854. Branko Èibej <[email protected]>).
  855. * Define XML_BYTE_ORDER for bundled expat build in support macro
  856. NEON_XML_PARSER().
  857. Changes in release 0.18.2:
  858. * Fix --with-neon=PATH in support macros.
  859. * Support DESTDIR in Makefile install targets (patch by
  860. Pawel Golaszewski <[email protected]>).
  861. * Portability fixes:
  862. - fix configure check for time_t on some platforms (e.g Solaris 2.6).
  863. - remove expect100_works bitfield in ne_session structure (thanks to
  864. Yan Periard <[email protected]>).
  865. Changes in release 0.18.1:
  866. * Minor fix for authentication: "attempt" counter was not reset correctly
  867. after authentication failed, so subsequent requests would not authenticate
  868. correctly either.
  869. * API change: ne_session_destroy returns void (there was no error case).
  870. * Portability fixes (non-GCC compilers, 64-bit platforms, UnixWare 7)
  871. * Optimisations in string manipulation routines.
  872. * config.hw is included in the release tarball again.
  873. * Improvements in the autoconf support macros:
  874. - check for neon-config in PATH if --with-neon is not given
  875. - stop if --with-neon is used, and the check for external neon fails
  876. - added NEON_WITHOUT_ACL to prevent build of ne_acl.o
  877. Changes in release 0.18.0:
  878. * API change: authentication callback is passed fixed-size username/password
  879. buffers, and an 'attempt' counter. Authentication is retried *forever*
  880. until either it succeeds, or the callback returns non-zero.
  881. * API clarifications:
  882. - ne_propname may have a NULL nspace field, indicating the property has no
  883. namespace. This holds for properties returned by the propfind interfaces.
  884. - added NE_ELM_PROPS_UNUSED as the lowest element number which should
  885. be used with handlers added to the XML parser returned by
  886. ne_propfind_get_parser.
  887. * Fixes and cleanups of lock discovery interface.
  888. * Fix for short write handling in ne_get() (thanks to rado <[email protected]>).

  989. tedious sleep().
  990. Changes in release 0.15.0:
  991. * Major API renaming to use ne_/NE_ namespace:
  992. - http_ to ne_, HTTP_ to NE_, dav_ to ne_, DAV_ to NE_, neon_ to ne_

  1012. * Removed: ne_get_request_headers().
  1013. * autoconf changes:
  1014. - disable building shared neon library by default.
  1015. - option --enable-libxml is replaced by --with-libxml1 and
  1016. --with-libxml2 to force use of a particular parser.
  1017. * Fix auth code to only take MD5 digests of response body blocks when
  1018. necessary (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).

  1023. a FILE *.
  1024. - added ne_set_request_body_provider to give a callback which is called
  1025. to provide request body blocks.
  1026. - removal of 'use_body' hook in favour of 'ne_pull_request_body' function

  1045. - add parameter to dav_propfind_named to take the list of property names
  1046. to be fetched.
  1047. - new function dav_propfind_set_private to set private callback.
  1048. - all properties not handled by caller are stored as flat properties.
  1049. * Untested: add basic SOCKSv5 support: configure --with-socks.
  1050. - please report success/failure to [email protected]
  1051. * Win32/MSVC build files from Magnus Sirwiö <[email protected]>.

  1060. - only if property is defined on the property element itself.
  1061. * Started a simple test suite (test/*).
  1062. - includes some simple HTTP server tests.
  1063. * Remove "Content-Length: 0" header for request with no body, fixing

  1065. * http_parse_statusline skips leading whitespace. (Johan Lindh).
  1066. * Partial fix for timezone/date parsing problems.
  1067. Changes in release 0.13.0:
  1068. * Fix ne_strndup allocating one byte less than it should (Kai Sommerfeld)
  1069. - if you use uri_parse, this bug may have caused subtle memory corruption
  1070. in your application.
  1071. * Revert API changes in 0.12: property values are not UTF-8 encoded/decoded
  1072. internally. (thanks to Greg Stein)

  1083. only called for *followed* redirects.
  1084. New API: http_redirect_location() for retrieving location of last redirect.
  1085. * Authentication is now implemented as a hook, independently of http_request.c:
  1086. - API change: removed 'hostname' argument from auth callbacks.
  1087. - API change: you must now include http_auth.h from your application.
  1088. - Also fixes case of using server and proxy authentication simultaneously
  1089. * Added 'http_forget_auth' to clear authentication session.
  1090. * New API: http_session_hook_private for retrieving private per-session cookie
  1091. for hooks.
  1092. * API change: http_set_request_body_stream has a return error value.
  1093. * API change: http_set_request_body_buffer now takes the buffer length too.
  1094. * New API: caller-pulls interface for reading response body:
  1095. http_begin_request, http_end_request, http_read_response_block.
  1096. An alternative to using the (much simpler) http_request_dispatch.
  1097. * Make --disable-webdav build work.

  1119. * Fix reading response bodies when non-chunked and no Content-Length
  1120. (Kai Sommerfeld).
  1121. * API change: 'http_add_hooks takes a 'const' request object.
  1122. * Fixed memory leaks in session hooks (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).
  1123. * Fix passing NULL props argument to dav_simple_propfind, to support
  1124. allprop requests.
  1125. **** MAJOR INTERFACE CHANGE ****
  1126. - URIs passed to http_request_create() are NOT escaped by neon. You
  1127. MUST do this yourself to remain HTTP compliant, using e.g.
  1128. uri_abspath_escape. (Kai Sommerfeld)
  1129. * Added --disable-webdav flag to configure, to disable DAV support in
  1130. the library. This allows building neon without an XML parser.
  1131. * Corresponding NEON_WITHOUT_WEBDAV macro for use in bundled builds.
  1132. * Fix Makefile dependancies.
  1133. * A bundled neon directory builds or doesn't build automatically
  1134. (i.e. you recurse into it unconditionally).
  1135. * API clarification:
  1136. - dav_propset_status may return NULL if the server does not return
  1137. a response for the given property (issue is open for debate).
  1138. * API change up for debate:
  1139. - Property values to dav_proppatch are UTF-8 encoded internally.
  1140. - Property values in dav_propfind_* are UTF-8 decoded internally.
  1141. * API additions: ne_realloc, ne_utf8_encode.
  1142. Changes in release 0.11.0:
  1143. * Added SSL client certificate support with 'sock_set_client_cert'.
  1144. - Supports certs in PEM-encoded files.
  1145. - Specify a callback for prompting the user for the password with
  1146. sock_set_key_prompt.
  1147. * Added 'ne_oom_callback', to register a callback which is used if
  1148. malloc() returns NULL. (Mike Rosellini <[email protected]>)
  1149. * Register appropriate callback with libxml to handle <![CDATA blocks
  1150. as normal character data (fixes PROPFINDs against sharemation.com).
  1151. * Added 'NEON_REQUIRE' macro to declare that you require a neon library
  1152. of a given minimum version, e.g. NEON_REQUIRE(0,10) means "I need
  1153. neon 0.11 or later". The _BUNDLED macros will fall back on the bundled
  1154. copy if an external library is found which is not of a new enough version.
  1155. * Added neon_version_minimum() function call for run-time version detection.
  1156. * neon_config.h has been removed.
  1157. * Use closesocket() to close sockets on Win32 (Markus Fleck <[email protected]>).
  1158. Changes in release 0.10.1:
  1159. * Default expect-100 to OFF.
  1160. Changes in release 0.10.0:
  1161. * hip_xml API changes:
  1162. - The search for a handler for a new child element begins at the
  1163. handler of the parent element, and carries on up the stack.
  1164. (previously, it always started from the base of the stack)
  1165. - Documentation written: doc/parsing-xml.txt
  1166. * Remove memory leaks and tidy debugging output in new properties code.
  1167. * API changes to DAV locking interface:
  1168. - New function: dav_lock_copy to copy a lock object.
  1169. - Re-ordered arguments to callback of dav_lock_discover, and made the
  1170. lock object passed back const.
  1171. - Fix leaks and crashes due to vague interface definitions.
  1172. * API change to dav_propfind_set_complex: use a callback to return the
  1173. 'private' structure.
  1174. * NEON_NORMAL_BUILD and NEON_LIBTOOL_BUILD macros defined for setting
  1175. up neon's Makefile in a bundled build: see macros/neon.m4.
  1176. * NEON_VPATH_BUNDLED macro added which takes separate srcdir and
  1177. builddir arguments for supporting VPATH builds (thanks to Peter Moulder
  1178. <[email protected]>).
  1179. * Added optional final argument to NEON_(VPATH_)BUNDLED, which gives
  1180. a set of actions to be run if the bundled build is chosen.
  1181. * NEON_SSL checks for OpenSSL in /usr too.
  1182. * API change: when using http_session_decide_proxy, it MUST be called
  1183. before using http_session_server to prevent the DNS lookup on the origin
  1184. server being optimised out. The real scheme in use is passed to the
  1185. callback now.
  1186. * New function, dav_207_ignore_unknown, to ignore any unknown XML fragments
  1187. in the 207 response. Used by properties layer.
  1188. Changes in release 0.9.2:
  1189. * Fix using both dav_propfind_set_complex and dav_propfind_set_flat with the
  1190. same propfind_handler.
  1191. Changes in release 0.9.1:
  1192. * dav_propfind interface
  1193. - Guarantee that the 'private' structure will be initialized to zero on
  1194. creation.
  1195. - Make it the *callers* responsibility to free() the private structure.
  1196. * Fix a few arguments/variables which mirrored globally declared symbols.
  1197. Changes in release 0.9.0:
  1198. * Removed old dav_propfind_* interface, replaced with a better, more
  1199. powerful, and easier to use interface:
  1200. - 'dav_simple_propfind' interface for just fetching "flat" (byte-string)
  1201. properties.
  1202. - 'dav_propfind_*' interface for fetching flat and/or "complex" (structured
  1203. XML) properties.
  1204. - Lets you retrieve the 'status' information, to see what happened if
  1205. fetching the property failed (e.g 404 Not Found).
  1206. * Fixes to doc/using-neon.txt (thanks to Greg Stein).
  1207. * Allow building when srcdir != builddir (Mo DeJong <[email protected]>)

  1216. * Fixes for building on BeOS (Sam TH <[email protected]> and David Reid
  1217. <[email protected]>).
  1218. * Add buffering to socket code for pre-BONE BeOS systems (David Reid).
  1219. * Interface changes for hip_xml:
  1220. - Renamed hip_xml_add_(mixed_)handler to hip_xml_push_(mixed_)handler
  1221. - Documentation updates.
  1222. - Added HIP_ELM_UNUSED for lowest element id which should be used.
  1223. *** MAJOR INTERFACE CHANGE ***
  1224. - Removed 'http_status *' pointer from http_request_dispatch.
  1225. - Added http_get_status(req) to retrieve the response-status information
  1226. instead. You don't have to declare an http_status object yourself now.
  1227. * Similarly, added DAV_ELM_207_UNUSED for lowest element id which should
  1228. be used by users of dav_207_* code (incl. use of dav_propfind_*
  1229. code).
  1230. * New NEON_* autoconf macro interface:
  1231. - Use NEON_BUNDLED if sources are bundled, otherwise NEON_LIBRARY.
  1232. - The NEON_XML_PARSER macro is NOT called automatically. You must
  1233. call this yourself if using NEON_BUNDLED; see doc/using-neon.txt
  1234. for details.

  1241. * Better check for closed SSL connection after doing SSL_peek. (thanks
  1242. to Jeff Costlow <[email protected]>).
  1243. * Attempt at correct sock_block() implementation for SSL.
  1244. * sock_peek() will return SOCK_CLOSED correctly.

  1263. * Deprecated use of 'NULL' to http_add_response_header_handler.
  1264. New interface, http_add_response_header_catcher, to register
  1265. a callback which is passed ALL response headers regardless of name.
  1266. * Speed optimisation (~10%?): storing response-header handlers in a
  1267. hash table for faster look.
  1268. * New SBUFFER_CAST() macro for getting to the 'char *' of an sbuffer
  1269. as fast as possible.
  1270. Changes in release 0.6.1:
  1271. * Fix for retrying request if connection is closed by server.
  1272. * Make redirect hook work for >1 request per session.

  1276. is not GET, HEAD, or PROPFIND.
  1277. * New interface to determine whether the proxy server should be used
  1278. for a given request: http_session_decide_proxy.

  1280. * Add --with-extra-includes and --with-extra-libs configure parameters
  1281. to point configure at
  1282. Changes in release 0.5.1:
  1283. * Prevent segfault if USE_DAV_LOCKS is defined, and a locking session
  1284. is not registered (thanks to David Sloat).
  1285. Changes in release 0.5.0:
  1286. * Rename xmalloc, xstrdup etc to ne_malloc, ne_strdup etc.
  1287. * Some speed optimisation in response-header reading.
  1288. * Use 'off_t' rather than 'size_t' in sock_progress callback,
  1289. sock_readfile_blocked, and sock_transfer.
  1290. Changes in release 0.4.2:
  1291. * Fix for sending request bodies after getting 100-continue response.
  1292. Changes in release 0.4.1:
  1293. * Fix nget build.
  1294. Changes in release 0.4.0:
  1295. * Install library headers into .../include/neon not .../include/libneon
  1296. * Install all necessary library headers.
  1297. * Compile support for WebDAV locking throughout the library
  1298. * Rename md5.h to neon_md5.h (avoids conflict with md5.h in OpenSSL)
  1299. * Rename socket.h to nsocket.h (avoids possible conflict with C library)
  1300. * Update licensing notice on macros/neon*.m4: note that these files are
  1301. NOT under the LGPL, and can be used in other packages regardless of
  1302. the license the package uses.
  1303. * Update NEON_LIBRARY m4 function to allow optional specification of
  1304. names of bundled neon/expat source directories.
  1305. * Increase socket read timeout to 60 seconds.
  1306. * Added an POST method: from Sander Alberink <[email protected]>.
  1307. * Added 'http_get_request_headers' to return the sbuffer containing
  1308. all request headers.
  1309. * Allow passing NULL as name to http_add_response_header_handler:
  1310. the handler callback is passed the entire header string, of ALL
  1311. response headers.
  1312. Changes in release 0.3.1:
  1313. * Compile fix for dav_locks.c (thanks to Paul D'Anna)
  1314. Changes in release 0.3.0:
  1315. * Rewrite of socket handling layer. All sock_* functions changed.
  1316. * Added basic SSL support: --with-ssl (requires OpenSSL).
  1317. NOTE: Certificates are NOT presented for verification.
  1318. * 'nget' accepts URL's using the 'https' scheme.
  1319. * New example program, 'nserver', to display the Server: string,
  1320. e.g. 'nserver https://www.eu.c2.net/'
  1321. * Fixed request re-send when persistent connection times out.
  1322. * "Hooks" support: allow external hooks into the HTTP request/
  1323. response dispatch loop.
  1324. * New printf-style interface for adding request headers.
  1325. * Make symbols used in header files C++-safe (Tom Bednarz).
  1326. * WebDAV locking support: lock discovery, LOCK (exclusive/shared)
  1327. UNLOCK. "If:" headers are sent as appropriate. Simple interface
  1328. for implementors of new methods to indicate which locks are
  1329. required for the method.
  1330. * Primitive HTTP cookies support.
  1331. * Primitive hack at a GNOME-based GUI example program "nbrowse".
  1332. Enable build with --enable-gnome-examples. It crashes, and
  1333. not much else. Requires GNOME and POSIX threads. Example usage:
  1334. 'nbrowse dav.ics.uci.edu /msdav/'
  1335. Many thanks to Lee Mallabone for Gtk help, and showing how to
  1336. use Gtk and threads.
  1337. Changes in release 0.2.0:
  1338. * Use libtool: new configure options to select whether to build
  1339. shared and/or static libraries. Should build shared libraries
  1340. portably now.
  1341. * Complete rewrite of the hip_xml interface to use opaque pointers.
  1342. New functions: hip_xml_create, hip_xml_destroy: create parser.
  1343. hip_xml_{set,get}_error: Access to error string.
  1344. hip_xml_add_handler: Register callbacks for a set of elements.
  1345. hip_xml_valid: Returns whether the parse was valid or not.
  1346. Removed functions: hip_xml_init, hip_xml_finish.
  1347. * Removed functions made reduntant by above changes in dav_207.
  1348. * Don't include config.h in header files
  1349. * Fix PROPFIND allprop request body (Michael Sobolev)
  1350. * Added C++ safety macros around header files.
  1351. * Added neon-config script for getting correct CFLAGS and LIBS
  1352. values for using libneon in applications.
  1353. Changes in release 0.1.1:
  1354. * Fix for short writes in GET
  1355. Changes in release 0.1.0:
