(SoupUri + is currently an exception to this.) + + * SoupMessage now emits signals at various stages of + processing. (Eg, "wrote_body", "got_headers".) (You + can also still use soup_message_add_*handler().) + + * SoupContexts are gone; soup_message_new() now takes a URI + string. + + * All formerly global state is now maintained by the + SoupSession object. (This includes the connection pool, + proxy server, cached authentication information, SSL + certificates, etc.) + + * You can create a SoupSessionAsync (for 2.0-like + behavior) or SoupSessionSync (for blocking, + synchronous usage). + + * You can add SoupMessageFilter objects to a session + to have certain processing automatically performed + on every message sent via that session. (Eg, setting + up handlers.) + + * NTLM authentication is no longer supported by + default. You must enable it by setting the + SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM flag on the session. + + * The preferred method of handling authentication is + now via the "authenticate" and "reauthenticate" + signals on SoupSession. (The old style, of encoding + the user and password information into the url is + also still supported.) + + * The SOUP_ERROR_* values are now SOUP_STATUS_* (so that we + don't have "SOUP_ERROR_OK" and the like). + + * SOUP_MESSAGE_IS_ERROR() is gone, since some cases + want to include 3xx responses and some don't. + + * SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE and + SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE_PROXY are now gone, + since they didn't carry any information that + SOUP_STATUS_UNAUTHORIZED and + SOUP_STATUS_PROXY_UNAUTHORIZED don't. + + * DNS errors now show up as the new status code + SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than being mixed in + with SOUP_ERROR_CANT_CONNECT. + + * Minimal SOAP support has been added back, via + SoupSoapMessage/SoupSoapResponse + + * The HTTP I/O state machine was completely rewritten, fixing + numerous crashes, leaks, and protocol errors. + + * SoupUri now conforms to RFC 2396. Mostly. + + * Various test programs have been added under tests/ + + * Removed: + + * Support for OpenSSL (which was horribly buggy) and + Mozilla NSS (which was never finished). We only + support GNUTLS for SSL now. + + * SOCKS support + + * CGI support in SoupServer |
