Changes in libsoup from 2.3.0.1 to 2.3.2:
API changes / Behavior changes:
* soup_server_add_auth_domain() now refs the auth domain when
adding it. (soup_server_remove_auth_domain() already
unreffed it.) This means existing applications using
SoupAuthDomain will now have a small memory leak. Those
applications should update their libsoup-2.4 requirement to
">= 2.3.2" at some point before the final GNOME 2.22.0
release, and then fix the code to unref the auth domain
after adding it to the server.
* SoupSession's automatic redirect-handling behavior now obeys
RFC 2616 more closely. In particular, status codes 300 and
304 are no longer mistakenly considered redirects; POSTs
that receive 303 are now redirected into GETs; and POSTs
that receive 301, 302, or 307 are now not redirected.
Applications that were using the SOUP_MESSAGE_NO_REDIRECT
flag to prevent libsoup from redirecting POSTs incorrectly
before should now be able to remove that if they depend on
libsoup-2.4 >= 2.3.2.
API additions:
* Added a SOUP_SESSION_USER_AGENT property to SoupSession, and
SOUP_SERVER_SERVER_HEADER to SoupServer, to support
automatically adding "User-Agent" and "Server" headers to
messages. (The default behavior is to do nothing, as
before.)
* Added several new methods to soup-forms.h. Applications that
are encoding a fixed set of form fields can now just pass
them to soup_form_encode(), rather than needing to construct
a GHashTable or GData list. (Likewise, the new
soup_uri_set_query_from_fields() behaves similarly for
directly updating a URI with form data.) There are also now
soup_form_request_new() and other related methods, to
directly create a GET or POST SoupMessage for submitting a
form query.
The original soup_form_* methods have all been renamed,
although #defines exist for backward compatibility.
* Added soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() and
soup_buffer_new_with_owner(), to give applications more
control over memory usage/copying when doing streaming HTTP.
[Wouter Cloetens, #513810].
* Added several new methods to soup-value-utils.h for working
with multiple array or hash table values at once:
soup_value_hash_new_with_vals(),
soup_value_hash_insert_vals(),
soup_value_hash_lookup_vals(),
soup_value_array_new_with_vals(), and
soup_value_array_append_vals().
This helps to simplify XML-RPC calls that send or receive
structs or arrays.
* Added soup_date_to_time_t().
* Added SoupMessageHeadersIterator, an iterator type for
SoupMessageHeaders that can be used instead of
soup_message_headers_foreach().
Bug fixes:
* Fixed a crash-when-idle in evolution-exchange [#437835] and
rhythmbox [#506552].
* Added the API version to the gtk-doc installation dir, to
prevent parallel-installation problems with libsoup 2.2 and
2.4. [#512810, Daniel Gryniewicz].
* Fixed tests/query-test to compile correctly on Solaris.
[#513602, patch from Jeff Cai]
* Fixed some other minor HTTP conformance issues.
Python bindings:
* Although not present in the release tarball, there are now
experimental python bindings for libsoup in GNOME subversion
(in the python/ subdirectory of libsoup trunk). These are
not yet stable (and are not built by default or installed
even when building from svn), but comments on them are
welcome at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
