GNU libmicrohttpd 0.9.73
Dear all,
I'm glad to announce the release of GNU libmicrohttpd 0.9.73.
This release brings new features, improvements, and a few fixes.
The most important addition is the new function for vector-backed responses, based on the patch contributed by NASA engineers. Other changes include compatibility with autoconf 2.70+, improved testsuite compatibility with CI systems, fixed and improved MSVC builds, and implemention of ALPN support.
More detailed list of notable changes since version 0.9.72:
API changes:
- Added new function MHD_create_response_from_iovec(), based on the patch provided by Lawrence Sebald and Damon N. Earp from NASA.
- Added MHD_OPTION_SIGPIPE_HANDLED_BY_APP daemon option.
- Added new function MHD_run_wait().
- Added MHD_OPTION_TLS_NO_ALPN to disable usage of ALPN even if it is supported by TLS library.
New features:
- Added '--enable-heavy-tests' configure parameter (disabled by default).
- Implemented support for ALPN.
Improvements and enhancements:
- Return timeout of zero also for connections awaiting cleanup.
- Compatibility with autoconf >=2.70, used new autoconf features.
- Warn user when custom logger option is not the first option.
- Added information to the header about minimal MHD version when particular symbols were introduced.
- Updated test certificates to be compatible with modern browsers.
- Added on-fly detection of UNIX domain sockets and pipes, MHD does not try to use TCP/IP-specific socket options on them.
- Report more detailed error description in the MHD log for send and receive errors.
- Enabled bind port autodetection for MSVC builds.
Fixes:
- Fixed PostProcessor to always properly stop iteration when application callback tells it to do so.
- Fixed MD5 digest authorization broken when compiled without variable length arrays support (notably with MSVC).
- Fixed detection of type of send errors on W32.
It's worth noting the FreeBSD 13 implementation of EventFD has been tested and works out-of-box, without any modifications or patches.
