Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +08004User api additions
5------------------
6
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +080071) The info struct gained two new members
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +08008
9 - max_http_header_data: 0 for default (1024) or set the maximum amount of known
10 http header payload that lws can deal with. Payload in unknown http
11 headers is dropped silently. If for some reason you need to send huge
12 cookies or other HTTP-level headers, you can now increase this at context-
13 creation time.
14
15 - max_http_header_pool: 0 for default (16) or set the maximum amount of http
16 headers that can be tracked by lws in this context. For the server, if
17 the header pool is completely in use then accepts on the listen socket
18 are disabled until one becomes free. For the client, if you simultaneously
19 have pending connects for more than this number of client connections,
20 additional connects will fail until some of the pending connections timeout
21 or complete.
22
23HTTP header processing in lws only exists until just after the first main
24callback after the HTTP handshake... for ws connections that is ESTABLISHED and
25for HTTP connections the HTTP callback.
26
27So these settings are not related to the maximum number of simultaneous
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +080028connections, but the number of HTTP handshakes that may be expected or ongoing,
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +080029or have just completed, at one time. The reason it's useful is it changes the
30memory allocation for header processing to be one-time at context creation
31instead of every time there is a new connection, and gives you control over
32the peak allocation.
33
34Setting max_http_header_pool to 1 is fine it will just queue incoming
35connections before the accept as necessary, you can still have as many
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +080036simultaneous post-header connections as you like. Since the http header
37processing is completed and the allocation released after ESTABLISHED or the
38HTTP callback, even with a pool of 1 many connections can be handled rapidly.
39
Andy Green066a7a12015-12-26 15:47:06 +0800402) There is a new callback that allows the user code to get acccess to the
41optional close code + aux data that may have been sent by the peer.
42
43LWS_CALLBACK_WS_PEER_INITIATED_CLOSE:
44 The peer has sent an unsolicited Close WS packet. @in and
45 @len are the optional close code (first 2 bytes, network
46 order) and the optional additional information which is not
47 defined in the standard, and may be a string or non-human-
48 readble data.
49 If you return 0 lws will echo the close and then close the
50 connection. If you return nonzero lws will just close the connection.
51
52As usual not handling it does the right thing, if you're not interested in it
53just ignore it.
54
55The test server has "open and close" testing buttons at the bottom, if you
56open and close that connection, on close it will send a close code 3000 decimal
57and the string "Bye!" as the aux data.
58
59The test server dumb-increment callback handles this callback reason and prints
60
61lwsts[15714]: LWS_CALLBACK_WS_PEER_INITIATED_CLOSE: len 6
62lwsts[15714]: 0: 0x0B
63lwsts[15714]: 1: 0xB8
64lwsts[15714]: 2: 0x42
65lwsts[15714]: 3: 0x79
66lwsts[15714]: 4: 0x65
67lwsts[15714]: 5: 0x21
68
Andy Green1fb95e82015-12-26 17:20:34 +0800693) There is a new API to allow the user code to control the content of the
70close frame sent when about to return nonzero from the user callback to
71indicate the connection should close.
72
73/**
74 * lws_close_reason - Set reason and aux data to send with Close packet
75 * If you are going to return nonzero from the callback
76 * requesting the connection to close, you can optionally
77 * call this to set the reason the peer will be told if
78 * possible.
79 *
80 * @wsi: The websocket connection to set the close reason on
81 * @status: A valid close status from websocket standard
82 * @buf: NULL or buffer containing up to 124 bytes of auxiliary data
83 * @len: Length of data in @buf to send
84 */
85LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN void
86lws_close_reason(struct lws *wsi, enum lws_close_status status,
87 unsigned char *buf, size_t len);
88
89An extra button is added to the "open and close" test server page that requests
90that the test server close the connection from his end.
91
92The test server code will do so by
93
94 lws_close_reason(wsi, LWS_CLOSE_STATUS_GOINGAWAY,
95 (unsigned char *)"seeya", 5);
96 return -1;
97
98The browser shows the close code and reason he received
99
100websocket connection CLOSED, code: 1001, reason: seeya
101
Andy Green44a7f652015-12-29 11:20:09 +08001023) There's a new context creation time option flag
103
104LWS_SERVER_OPTION_VALIDATE_UTF8
105
106if you set it in info->options, then TEXT and CLOSE frames will get checked to
107confirm that they contain valid UTF-8. If they don't, the connection will get
108closed by lws.
109
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800110
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800111User api changes
112----------------
113
1141) LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING is now 0 and deprecated. You can remove it; if
115you still use it, obviously it does nothing. Old binary code with nonzero
116LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING is perfectly compatible, the old code just
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800117allocated a buffer bigger than the library is going to use.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800118
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800119The example apps no longer use LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800120
Andy Green4e2ac762015-12-26 20:26:11 +0800121The only path who made use of it was sending with LWS_WRITE_CLOSE --->
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800122
Andy Green1fb95e82015-12-26 17:20:34 +08001232) Because of lws_close_reason() formalizing handling close frames,
124LWS_WRITE_CLOSE is removed from libwebsockets.h. It was only of use to send
125close frames...close frame content should be managed using lws_close_reason()
126now.
127
Andy Green44a7f652015-12-29 11:20:09 +08001283) We check for invalid CLOSE codes and complain about protocol violation in
129our close code. But it changes little since we were in the middle of closing
130anyway.
131
1324) zero-length RX frames and zero length TX frames are now allowed.
133
1345) Pings and close used to be limited to 124 bytes, the correct limit is 125
135so that is now also allowed.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800136
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800137
Andy Green9e8d1482015-12-18 11:01:03 +0800138v1.6.0-chrome48-firefox42
139=======================
140
141Major API improvements
142----------------------
143
144v1.6.0 has many cleanups and improvements in the API. Although at first it
145looks pretty drastic, user code will only need four actions to update it.
146
147 - Do the three search/replaces in your user code, /libwebsocket_/lws_/,
148 /libwebsockets_/lws_/, and /struct\ libwebsocket/struct\ lws/
149
150 - Remove the context parameter from your user callbacks
151
152 - Remove context as the first parameter from the "Eleven APIS" listed in the
153 User Api Changes section
154
155 - Add lws_get_context(wsi) as the first parameter on the "Three APIS" listed
156 in the User Api Changes section, and anywhere else you still need context
157
158That's it... generally only a handful of the 14 affected APIs are actually in
159use in your user code and you can find them quickest by compiling and visiting
160the errors each in turn. And the end results are much cleaner, more
161predictable and maintainable.
162
163
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800164User api additions
165------------------
166
Andy Green3f628702015-12-14 07:16:32 +08001671) lws now exposes his internal platform file abstraction in a way that can be
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800168both used by user code to make it platform-agnostic, and be overridden or
169subclassed by user code. This allows things like handling the URI "directory
170space" as a virtual filesystem that may or may not be backed by a regular
171filesystem. One example use is serving files from inside large compressed
172archive storage without having to unpack anything except the file being
173requested.
174
175The test server shows how to use it, basically the platform-specific part of
176lws prepares a file operations structure that lives in the lws context.
177
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800178Helpers are provided to also leverage these platform-independent file handling
179apis
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800180
181static inline lws_filefd_type
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800182lws_plat_file_open(struct lws *wsi, const char *filename,

190static inline int
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800191lws_plat_file_read(struct lws *wsi, lws_filefd_type fd, unsigned long *amount,
192 unsigned char *buf, unsigned long len)
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800193
194static inline int
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800195lws_plat_file_write(struct lws *wsi, lws_filefd_type fd, unsigned long *amount,
196 unsigned char *buf, unsigned long len)
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800197
198The user code can also override or subclass the file operations, to either
199wrap or replace them. An example is shown in test server.
200
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800201A wsi can be associated with the file activity, allowing per-connection
202authentication and state to be used when interpreting the file request.
203
Andy Green3f628702015-12-14 07:16:32 +08002042) A new API void * lws_wsi_user(struct lws *wsi) lets you get the pointer to
205the user data associated with the wsi, just from the wsi.
206
Andy Green9e8d1482015-12-18 11:01:03 +08002073) URI argument handling. Libwebsockets parses and protects URI arguments
208like test.html?arg1=1&arg2=2, it decodes %xx uriencoding format and reduces
209path attacks like ../.../../etc/passwd so they cannot go behind the web
210server's /. There is a list of confirmed attacks we're proof against in
211./test-server/attack.sh.
212
213There is a new API lws_hdr_copy_fragment that should be used now to access
214the URI arguments (it returns the fragments length)
215
216 while (lws_hdr_copy_fragment(wsi, buf, sizeof(buf),
217 WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_URI_ARGS, n) > 0) {
218 lwsl_info("URI Arg %d: %s\n", ++n, buf);
219 }
220
221For the example above, calling with n=0 will return "arg1=1" and n=1 "arg2=2".
222All legal uriencodings will have been reduced in those strings.
223
224lws_hdr_copy_fragment() returns the length of the x=y fragment, so it's also
225possible to deal with arguments containing %00. If you don't care about that,
226the returned string has '\0' appended to simplify processing.
227
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800228
Andy Green6d417202015-12-04 10:39:23 +0800229User api changes
230----------------
231
Andy Green1a366bf2015-12-14 07:02:51 +08002321) Three APIS
233
234 - lws_callback_on_writable_all_protocol(const struct lws_protocols *protocol)
235 - lws_callback_all_protocol(const struct lws_protocols *protocol)
236 - lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol(lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol)
237
238Now take an additional pointer to the lws_context in their first argument.
239
240The reason for this change is struct lws_protocols has been changed to remove
241members that lws used for private storage: so the protocols struct in now
242truly const and may be reused serially or simultaneously by different contexts.
243
Andy Green11c05bf2015-12-16 18:19:08 +08002442) Eleven APIs
245
246LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int

300
301no longer require their initial struct lws_context * parameter.
302
3033) Several older apis start with libwebsocket_ or libwebsockets_ while newer ones
Andy Green6d417202015-12-04 10:39:23 +0800304all begin lws_. These apis have been changed to all begin with lws_.
305
Andy Green11c05bf2015-12-16 18:19:08 +0800306To convert, search-replace
Andy Green6d417202015-12-04 10:39:23 +0800307

310 - struct\ libwebsocket/struct\ lws
Andy Green00c6d152015-12-17 07:54:44 +0800311
3124) context parameter removed from user callback.
313
314Since almost all apis no longer need the context as a parameter, it's no longer
315provided at the user callback directly.
316
317However if you need it, for ALL callbacks wsi is valid and has a valid context
Andy Green6d645392015-12-17 18:25:25 +0800318pointer you can recover using lws_get_context(wsi).

329
Andy Green6d59f592015-10-15 09:12:58 +0800330LWS_SERVER_OPTION_PEER_CERT_NOT_REQUIRED is available to relax the requirement
331for peer certs if you are using the option to require client certs.
332
Andy Green4c79ee72015-10-15 11:20:40 +0800333LWS_WITHOUT_BUILTIN_SHA1 cmake option forces lws to use SHA1() defined

Olehfaeac3c2014-07-29 23:18:41 +0800339
340User api additions
341------------------
342
343There's a new member in the info struct used to control context creation,
344ssl_private_key_password, which allows passing into lws the passphrase on
345an SSL cetificate
346
Andy Greeneabed8d2014-08-11 12:11:36 +0800347There's a new member in struct protocols, id, which is ignored by lws but can
348be used by the user code to mark the selected protocol by user-defined version
349or capabliity flag information, for the case multiple versions of a protocol are
350supported.
351
Andy Greenb128ccc2014-08-16 09:54:27 +0800352int lws_is_ssl(wsi) added to allow user code to know if the connection was made
353over ssl or not. If LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_NON_SSL_ON_SSL_PORT is used, both
354ssl and non-ssl connections are possible and may need to be treated differently
355in the user code.
356
Andy Green14425ea2014-08-18 22:49:39 +0800357int lws_partial_buffered(wsi) added... should be checked after any
358libwebsocket_write that will be followed by another libwebsocket_write inside
359the same writeable callback. If set, you can't do any more writes until the
360writeable callback is called again. If you only do one write per writeable callback,
361you can ignore this.
362
Andy Green917f43a2014-10-12 14:31:47 +0800363HTTP2-related: HTTP2 changes how headers are handled, lws now has new version-
364agnositic header creation APIs. These do the right thing depending on each
365connection's HTTP version without the user code having to know or care, except
366to make sure to use the new APIs for headers (test-server is updated to use
367them already, so look there for examples)
368
369The APIs "render" the headers into a user-provided buffer and bump *p as it
370is used. If *p reaches end, then the APIs return nonzero for error.

409Add a header by using a lws token as the name part. In HTTP2, this can be
410compressed to one or two bytes.

Andy Green822241c2014-08-18 22:21:51 +0800413User api removal
414----------------
415
416protocols struct member no_buffer_all_partial_tx is removed. Under some
Peter Pentchevbb085da2015-12-03 15:55:11 +0200417conditions like rewriting extension such as compression in use, the built-in
Andy Green822241c2014-08-18 22:21:51 +0800418partial send buffering is the only way to deal with the problem, so turning
419it off is deprecated.

421
Andy Green917f43a2014-10-12 14:31:47 +0800422User api changes
423----------------
424
425HTTP2-related: API libwebsockets_serve_http_file() takes an extra parameter at
426the end now
427
428int other_headers_len)
429
430If you are providing other headers, they must be generated using the new
431HTTP-version-agnostic APIs, and you must provide the length of them using this
432additional parameter.
433
joseph.urciuoli4d9c8fc2014-10-16 08:53:19 +0800434struct lws_context_creation_info now has an additional member
435SSL_CTX *provided_client_ssl_ctx you may set to an externally-initialized
436SSL_CTX managed outside lws. Defaulting to zero keeps the existing behaviour of
437lws managing the context, if you memset the struct to 0 or have as a filescope
438initialized struct in bss, no need to change anything.

503------------------
504
505POST method is supported
506
507The protocol 0 / HTTP callback can now get two new kinds of callback,
508LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BODY (in and len are a chunk of the body of the HTTP request)
509and LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BODY_COMPLETION (the expected amount of body has arrived
510and been passed to the user code already). These callbacks are used with the
511post method (see the test server for details).
512
513The period between the HTTP header completion and the completion of the body
514processing is protected by a 5s timeout.
515
516The chunks are stored in a malloc'd buffer of size protocols[0].rx_buffer_size.
517
518
James Devine5b34c972013-12-14 11:41:29 +0800519New server option you can enable from user code
520LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_NON_SSL_ON_SSL_PORT allows non-SSL connections to
521also be accepted on an SSL listening port. It's disabled unless you enable
522it explicitly.
523
524
Andy Green7a132792013-12-18 09:48:26 +0800525Two new callbacks are added in protocols[0] that are optional for allowing
526limited thread access to libwebsockets, LWS_CALLBACK_LOCK_POLL and
527LWS_CALLBACK_UNLOCK_POLL.
528
529If you use them, they protect internal and external poll list changes, but if
530you want to use external thread access to libwebsocket_callback_on_writable()
531you have to implement your locking here even if you don't use external
532poll support.
533
534If you will use another thread for this, take a lot of care about managing
535your list of live wsi by doing it from ESTABLISHED and CLOSED callbacks
536(with your own locking).
537
Andrew Canaday9769f4f2014-03-23 13:25:07 +0800538If you configure cmake with -DLWS_WITH_LIBEV=1 then the code allowing the libev
539eventloop instead of the default poll() one will also be compiled in. But to
540use it, you must also set the LWS_SERVER_OPTION_LIBEV flag on the context
541creation info struct options member.
Andy Green7a132792013-12-18 09:48:26 +0800542
Andy Greenc1fdd102014-07-06 09:56:11 +0800543IPV6 is supported and enabled by default except for Windows, you can disable
544the support at build-time by giving -DLWS_IPV6=, and disable use of it even if
James Devine3f13ea22014-03-24 16:09:25 +0800545compiled in by making sure the flag LWS_SERVER_OPTION_DISABLE_IPV6 is set on
546the context creation info struct options member.
547
Andy Greenc1fdd102014-07-06 09:56:11 +0800548You can give LWS_SERVER_OPTION_DISABLE_OS_CA_CERTS option flag to
549guarantee the OS CAs will not be used, even if that support was selected at
550build-time.
551
552Optional "token limits" may be enforced by setting the member "token_limits"
553in struct lws_context_creation_info to point to a struct lws_token_limits.
554NULL means no token limits used for compatibility.
555

Andy Green79002562013-11-09 11:04:35 +0800557User api changes
558----------------
559
560Extra optional argument to libwebsockets_serve_http_file() allows injecion
561of HTTP headers into the canned response. Eg, cookies may be added like
562that without getting involved in having to send the header by hand.
563
Patrick Gansterer148b9452014-02-28 02:31:23 +0100564A new info member http_proxy_address may be used at context creation time to
565set the http proxy. If non-NULL, it overrides http_proxy environment var.
Andy Green79002562013-11-09 11:04:35 +0800566
Andy Greend2ec7ad2014-03-15 10:39:29 +0800567Cmake supports LWS_SSL_CLIENT_USE_OS_CA_CERTS defaulting to on, which gets
568the client to use the OS CA Roots. If you're worried somebody with the
569ability to forge for force creation of a client cert from the root CA in
570your OS, you should disable this since your selfsigned $0 cert is a lot safer
571then...

628User api additions
629------------------
630
631 - You can now call libwebsocket_callback_on_writable() on http connectons,
632 and get a LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_WRITEABLE callback, the same way you can
633 regulate writes with a websocket protocol connection.
634
Andy Green2672fb22013-02-22 09:54:35 +0800635 - A new member in the context creation parameter struct "ssl_cipher_list" is
636 added, replacing CIPHERS_LIST_STRING. NULL means use the ssl library
637 default list of ciphers.
638
Andy Green58f214e2013-03-09 13:03:53 +0800639 - Not really an api addition, but libwebsocket_service_fd() will now zero
640 the revents field of the pollfd it was called with if it handled the
641 descriptor. So you can tell if it is a non-lws fd by checking revents
642 after the service call... if it's still nonzero, the descriptor
643 belongs to you and you need to take care of it.
644
Andy Greenb55451c2013-03-16 12:32:27 +0800645 - libwebsocket_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol(protocol) will unthrottle all
646 connections with the established protocol. It's designed to be
647 called from user server code when it sees it can accept more input
648 and may have throttled connections using the server rx flow apis
649 while it was unable to accept any other input The user server code
650 then does not have to try to track while connections it choked, this
651 will free up all of them in one call.
652
Andy Green0c9563b2013-06-10 22:54:40 +0800653 - there's a new, optional callback LWS_CALLBACK_CLOSED_HTTP which gets
654 called when an HTTP protocol socket closes
655
Andy Green96d48fd2013-09-18 08:32:55 +0800656 - for LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_PROTOCOL_CONNECTION callback, the user_space alloc
657 has already been done before the callback happens. That means we can
658 use the user parameter to the callback to contain the user pointer, and
659 move the protocol name to the "in" parameter. The docs for this
660 callback are also updated to reflect how to check headers in there.
661
Andy Green5dc62ea2013-09-20 20:26:12 +0800662 - libwebsocket_client_connect() is now properly nonblocking and async. See
663 README.coding and test-client.c for information on the callbacks you
664 can rely on controlling the async connection period with.
665
Andy Green81877e62013-10-26 20:36:08 +0800666 - if your OS does not support the http_proxy environment variable convention
667 (eg, reportedly OSX), you can use a new api libwebsocket_set_proxy()
Peter Pentchevbb085da2015-12-03 15:55:11 +0200668 to set the proxy details in between context creation and the connection
Andy Green81877e62013-10-26 20:36:08 +0800669 action. For OSes that support http_proxy, that's used automatically.
Andy Greenb55451c2013-03-16 12:32:27 +0800670
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800671User api changes
672----------------
673
674 - the external poll callbacks now get the socket descriptor coming from the
675 "in" parameter. The user parameter provides the user_space for the
676 wsi as it normally does on the other callbacks.
Edwin van den Oetelaar8c8a8e12013-02-20 20:56:59 +0800677 LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_NETWORK_CONNECTION also has the socket descriptor
678 delivered by @in now instead of @user.
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800679
Andy Greenfc7c5e42013-02-23 10:50:10 +0800680 - libwebsocket_write() now returns -1 for error, or the amount of data
681 actually accepted for send. Under load, the OS may signal it is
682 ready to send new data on the socket, but have only a restricted
683 amount of memory to buffer the packet compared to usual.
684
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800685
Andy Greendc914cf2013-02-18 16:54:26 +0800686User api removal
687----------------
688
689 - libwebsocket_ensure_user_space() is removed from the public api, if you
690 were using it to get user_space, you need to adapt your code to only
691 use user_space inside the user callback.
692
Andy Green2672fb22013-02-22 09:54:35 +0800693 - CIPHERS_LIST_STRING is removed
694
Andy Green0097a992013-03-09 13:06:37 +0800695 - autotools build has been removed. See README.build for info on how to
696 use CMake for your platform

Andy Green53a46782013-02-14 11:23:49 +0800699v1.21-chrome26-firefox18
700========================
701
702 - Fixes buffer overflow bug in max frame size handling if you used the
703 default protocol buffer size. If you declared rx_buffer_size in your
704 protocol, which is recommended anyway, your code was unaffected.

756User api additions
757------------------
758
759 - lws_get_library_version() returns a const char * with a string like
760 "1.1 9e7f737", representing the library version from configure.ac
761 and the git HEAD hash the library was built from
762
Andy Greena47865f2013-02-10 09:39:47 +0800763 - TCP Keepalive can now optionally be applied to all lws sockets, on Linux
764 also with controllable timeout, number of probes and probe interval.
765 (On BSD type OS, you can only use system default settings for the
766 timing and retries, although enabling it is supported by setting
767 ka_time to nonzero, the exact value has no meaning.)
768 This enables detection of idle connections which are logically okay,
769 but are in fact dead, due to network connectivity issues at the server,
Andy Greena690cd02013-02-09 12:25:31 +0800770 client, or any intermediary. By default it's not enabled, but you
771 can enable it by setting a non-zero timeout (in seconds) at the new
772 ka_time member at context creation time.
773
Andy Greena7109e62013-02-11 12:05:54 +0800774 - Two new optional user callbacks added, LWS_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL_DESTROY which
775 is called one-time per protocol as the context is being destroyed, and
776 LWS_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL_INIT which is called when the context is created
777 and the protocols are added, again it's a one-time affair.
778 This lets you manage per-protocol allocations properly including
779 cleaning up after yourself when the server goes down.
Andy Green7b405452013-02-01 10:50:15 +0800780
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +0800781User api changes
782----------------
783
Andy Green1b265272013-02-09 14:01:09 +0800784 - libwebsocket_create_context() has changed from taking a ton of parameters
785 to just taking a pointer to a struct containing the parameters. The
786 struct lws_context_creation_info is in libwebsockets.h, the members
787 are in the same order as when they were parameters to the call
788 previously. The test apps are all updated accordingly so you can
789 see example code there.
790
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +0800791 - Header tokens are now deleted after the websocket connection is
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +0900792 established. Not just the header data is saved, but the pointer and
793 length array is also removed from (union) scope saving several hundred
794 bytes per connection once it is established
795
796 - struct libwebsocket_protocols has a new member rx_buffer_size, this
797 controls rx buffer size per connection of that protocol now. Sources
798 for apps built against older versions of the library won't declare
799 this in their protocols, defaulting it to 0. Zero buffer is legal,
800 it causes a default buffer to be allocated (currently 4096)
801
802 If you want to receive only atomic frames in your user callback, you
803 should set this to greater than your largest frame size. If a frame
804 comes that exceeds that, no error occurs but the callback happens as
805 soon as the buffer limit is reached, and again if it is reached again
806 or the frame completes. You can detect that has happened by seeing
807 there is still frame content pending using
808 libwebsockets_remaining_packet_payload()
809
810 By correctly setting this, you can save a lot of memory when your
811 protocol has small frames (see the test server and client sources).
812
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +0800813 - LWS_MAX_HEADER_LEN now defaults to 1024 and is the total amount of known
814 header payload lws can cope with, that includes the GET URL, origin
815 etc. Headers not understood by lws are ignored and their payload
816 not included in this.

819User api removals
820-----------------
821
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +0800822 - The configuration-time option MAX_USER_RX_BUFFER has been replaced by a
823 buffer size chosen per-protocol. For compatibility, there's a default
824 of 4096 rx buffer, but user code should set the appropriate size for
825 the protocol frames.
826
827 - LWS_INITIAL_HDR_ALLOC and LWS_ADDITIONAL_HDR_ALLOC are no longer needed
828 and have been removed. There's a new header management scheme that
829 handles them in a much more compact way.
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +0800830
Andy Green70edd6f2013-02-12 10:15:25 +0800831 - libwebsockets_hangup_on_client() is removed. If you want to close the
832 connection you must do so from the user callback and by returning
833 -1 from there.
834
Andy Green508946c2013-02-12 10:19:08 +0800835 - libwebsocket_close_and_free_session() is now private to the library code
836 only and not exposed for user code. If you want to close the
837 connection, you must do so from the user callback by returning -1
838 from there.
839
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +0800840
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +0900841New features
842------------
843
Andy Green9b09dc02013-02-08 12:48:36 +0800844 - Cmake project file added, aimed initially at Windows support: this replaces
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +0800845 the visual studio project files that were in the tree until now.
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +0900846
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +0800847 - CyaSSL now supported in place of OpenSSL (--use-cyassl on configure)
848
Andy Green9b09dc02013-02-08 12:48:36 +0800849 - PATH_MAX or MAX_PATH no longer needed
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +0900850
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +0900851 - cutomizable frame rx buffer size by protocol
852
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +0800853 - optional TCP keepalive so dead peers can be detected, can be enabled at
854 context-creation time
855
856 - valgrind-clean: no SSL or CyaSSL: completely clean. With OpenSSL, 88 bytes
857 lost at OpenSSL library init and symptomless reports of uninitialized
858 memory usage... seems to be a known and ignored problem at OpenSSL
859
Andy Greena3957ef2013-02-11 09:31:43 +0800860 - By default debug is enabled and the library is built for -O0 -g to faclitate
861 that. Use --disable-debug configure option to build instead with -O4
862 and no -g (debug info), obviously providing best performance and
863 reduced binary size.
Andy Green7b405452013-02-01 10:50:15 +0800864
Andy Green895d56d2013-02-11 09:32:53 +0800865 - 1.0 introduced some code to try to not deflate small frames, however this
866 seems to break when confronted with a mixture of frames above and
867 below the threshold, so it's removed. Veto the compression extension
868 in your user callback if you will typically have very small frames.
869
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +0800870 - There are many memory usage improvements, both a reduction in malloc/
871 realloc and architectural changes. A websocket connection now
872 consumes only 296 bytes with SSL or 272 bytes without on x86_64,
873 during header processing an additional 1262 bytes is allocated in a
874 single malloc, but is freed when the websocket connection starts.
875 The RX frame buffer defined by the protocol in user
876 code is also allocated per connection, this represents the largest
877 frame you can receive atomically in that protocol.
878
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +0800879 - On ARM9 build, just http+ws server no extensions or ssl, <12Kbytes .text
880 and 112 bytes per connection (+1328 only during header processing)
881

960user api changes
961----------------
962
963 - libwebsockets_serve_http_file() now takes a context as first argument
964
965 - libwebsockets_get_peer_addresses() now takes a context and wsi as first
966 two arguments
967
968
969user api additions
970------------------
971
972 - lwsl_...() logging apis, default to stderr but retargetable by user code;
973 may be used also by user code
974
975 - lws_set_log_level() set which logging apis are able to emit (defaults to
976 notice, warn, err severities), optionally set the emit callback
977
978 - lwsl_emit_syslog() helper callback emits to syslog
979
980 - lws_daemonize() helper code that forks the app into a headless daemon
981 properly, maintains a lock file with pid in suitable for sysvinit etc to
982 control lifecycle
983
984 - LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_FILE_COMPLETION callback added since http file
985 transfer is now asynchronous (see test server code)
986
987 - lws_frame_is_binary() from a wsi pointer, let you know if the received
988 data was sent in BINARY mode
989
990
991user api removals
992-----------------
993
994 - libwebsockets_fork_service_loop() - no longer supported (had intractable problems)
995 arrange your code to act from the user callback instead from same
996 process context as the service loop
997
998 - libwebsockets_broadcast() - use libwebsocket_callback_on_writable[_all_protocol]()
999 instead from same process context as the service loop. See the test apps
1000 for examples.
1001
1002 - x-google-mux() removed until someone wants it
1003
1004 - pre -v13 (ancient) protocol support removed
1005
1006
1007New features
1008------------
1009
1010 - echo test server and client compatible with echo.websocket.org added
1011
1012 - many new configure options (see README.build) to reduce footprint of the
1013 library to what you actually need, eg, --without-client and
1014 --without-server
1015
1016 - http + websocket server can build to as little as 12K .text for ARM
1017
1018 - no more MAX_CLIENTS limitation; adapts to support the max number of fds
1019 allowed to the process by ulimit, defaults to 1024 on Fedora and
1020 Ubuntu. Use ulimit to control this without needing to configure
1021 the library. Code here is smaller and faster.
1022
1023 - adaptive ratio of listen socket to connection socket service allows
1024 good behaviour under Apache ab test load. Tested with thousands
1025 of simultaneous connections
1026
1027 - reduction in per-connection memory footprint by moving to a union to hold
1028 mutually-exclusive state for the connection
1029
1030 - robustness: Out of Memory taken care of for all allocation code now
1031
1032 - internal getifaddrs option if your toolchain lacks it (some uclibc)
1033
1034 - configurable memory limit for deflate operations
1035
1036 - improvements in SSL code nonblocking operation, possible hang solved,
1037 some SSL operations broken down into pollable states so there is
1038 no library blocking, timeout coverage for SSL_connect
1039
1040 - extpoll test server merged into single test server source
1041
1042 - robustness: library should deal with all recoverable socket conditions
1043
1044 - rx flowcontrol for backpressure notification fixed and implmeneted
1045 correctly in the test server
1046
1047 - optimal lexical parser added for header processing; all headers in a
1048 single 276-byte state table
1049
1050 - latency tracking api added (configure --with-latency)
1051
1052 - Improved in-tree documentation, REAME.build, README.coding,
1053 README.test-apps, changelog
1054
1055 - Many small fixes
