libsoup 2.41.3



About libsoup
=============

libsoup is an HTTP client/server library for GNOME. It uses GObjects
and the glib main loop, to integrate well with GNOME applications.

News
====

Deprecated APIs in A Coruña"):

	* BUILD DEPENDENCY CHANGES: libsoup-gnome no longer depends on
          libgnome-keyring, and the sqlite3 dependency has been moved
          from libsoup-gnome to libsoup proper. (See below).


	* SoupRequest is now stable API. SoupRequester, however, is
          deprecated. Instead you can now call soup_session_request()
          or soup_session_request_uri() to create a SoupRequest.

	  Some documentation has been updated to reflect this, but
	  much more still needs to be (in particular the "Client-side
	  Tutorial").

	* SoupRequestHTTP now has a number of fields and methods that
          mirror the SoupMessage data, so you don't have to use
          soup_request_http_get_message() in many cases. On the flip
          side, there is also now soup_message_get_request(). And you
          can create a SoupRequestHTTP directly (and override its
          request method) by using soup_session_request_http() or
          soup_session_request_http_uri()).

	* soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() is now deprecated; apps
          that want to do streaming reads should just use SoupRequest,
          which is vastly more sane.


	* SoupPasswordManager is now deprecated, and
          SoupPasswordManagerGNOME is now a no-op (and libsoup-gnome
          no longer links against libgnome-keyring). [#594377, #679866]

	* SoupCookieJarSqlite is now deprecated in favor of
          SoupCookieJarDB, which is exactly the same thing except that
          it's in libsoup itself rather than being in libsoup-gnome
          (something that many people have requested over the years).
          This means that libsoup now requires sqlite3... if this
          offends you horribly then you have a few months to speak
          up...

	* SoupProxyResolverGNOME is now deprecated; there hasn't been
          any real reason to use it since SoupProxyResolverDefault was
          added.

	* As a result of the last three items, libsoup-gnome now
          consists entirely of deprecated APIs, and there is no reason
          you should use it any more (though packagers need to keep
          building it, for backward compatibility).


	* SoupSession is no longer an abstract class, and you can
          create a plain SoupSession, which behaves in a more
          traditionally-gio-like way (allowing a mix of sync and async
          methods, etc). This "plain" SoupSession also has more sane
          default values of certain properties, and has certain
          SoupSessionFeatures built in.

	  This will eventually replace SoupSessionAsync and
	  SoupSessionSync completely, but most of the documentation
	  hasn't yet been updated at this point...

	  This change involved merging the majority of the
	  SoupSessionAsync and SoupSessionSync code into SoupSession,
	  getting rid of lots of redundancy in the process. There may
	  be some bug fallout from this (probably on the
	  SoupSessionSync side, since WebKit's tests tend to shake out
	  all SoupSessionAsync bugs). However, this should help to
	  avoid SoupSessionSync-only bugs in the future, since much
	  more of the code is now shared.


	* Usernames and passwords passed into SoupSession a URI will
          now be cleared after they're used, so that if they are
          wrong, the authenticate signal will be emitted on the next
          round. [#689673, Martin Robinson]

	* SoupURI now leaves "%00" in URIs as-is, rather than decoding
          it to "\0", which was not intended and is never useful.

	* Fixed a bug in SoupBodyOutputStream that could cause libsoup
          to sometimes use blocking I/O rather than non-blocking when
          writing chunked message bodies. [#688974, Milan Plzik]

	* Fixed a bug in SoupFilterInputStream that could cause some
          non-blocking reads to suck up CPU while waiting for the
          network. (This was noticed with multipart/x-mixed-replace
          processing; it's not clear if it affected anything else.)

	* tests: misc small fixes


	* New/updated translations:
	  Assamese, Galician, Japanese, Odia, Polish, Spanish
