Release 1.15

Released 08.06.28.

Subversion directory release_number/1.15.00.

Apache XML-RPC dialect works. It never worked before because it used ex.i8 instead of ex:i8 and omitted the xmlns attribute when sending.
Add system method system.capabilities. Provides information about capabilities of the XML-RPC server.
Add 'xmlrpc_pstream' (generic client for packet stream XML-RPC). Not built or installed by default.
Improve fault string for invalid XML-RPC received by client as a response.
Abyss XML-RPC server: when shutdown not enabled, response to system.shutdown is "not enabled" instead of "not possible". Always overrides user-supplied shutdown function in registry.
Abyss: fix bug which prevents immediate termination.
Abyss: fix bug when you build a server out of an existing listening socket. Doesn't wait for a connection.
Abyss Windows: fix infinite loop when send() fails.
Fix bug: <double> sometimes is exponential, e.g. 1.2E40.
Properly parse <double> regardless of locale.
C++ client: Fix setInterrupt() method.
Curl client: fix Curl timeout option.
Curl client: don't issue bogus warning to stderr when async finishing function gets interrupted or times out.
Client: fix buffer overrun in xmlrpc_server_info_set_user().
xmlrpc-c-config: put Curl and Libwww libraries in proper order for static linking.
Fix bug: xmplrpc.parse.c won't build in some environments because <float.h> is not included.
Build: Fix for Cygwin (shared libraries don't have a separate link-edit name, e.g. libxmlrpc.so).
Build: Fix "not enough arguments" error with curl_easy_setopt() defined as a 3-argument macro in some Curl.
Build: install correct xmlrpc_abyss.h backward compatibility symlink, not xmlrpc_server_abyss.h.
Windows build: add version.c.
Windows build fixes.
Don't use // comments.

Release 1.14

Released 08.03.27.

Subversion directory release_number/1.14.00.

Abyss: Wait for client connection is interruptible; ServerTerminate() interrupts the wait so as to take effect immediately instead of after the next connection arrives.
XML-RPC Abyss server: system.shutdown interrupts wait for client connection, so you don't have to execute it twice.
C XML-RPC Abyss server: Add explicit xmlrpc_server_abyss objects, so you can shut down a server from inside the server process, but outside the server -- with a signal handler or separate thread.
C++ Client: Do Digest, GSS-Negotiate, and NTLM HTTP authentication in addition to Basic. Curl transport only.
Client: Fix HTTP basic authentication: remove extraneous colon from HTTP header. Bug introduced in 1.13.
Packet socket (pstream client, server): fix bug: sending fails when socket is "full" so you can't write any more to it right now.
Abyss: Handle Expect: 100-continue header from client, as required by HTTP.
Abyss: Fix timeout failure when body of HTTP request does not contain an LF, and request munging when body starts with space or tab.
Abyss: fix uninitialized variable when trivial memory allocation fails.
Windows Abyss: fix wait for data on socket.
Fix various compile errors with some C++ compilers: "extra qualification," missing virtual destructors, missing <cstdlib> include.
Use <sys/time.h> instead of <time.h> to prevent compile failure in select.c.
Use different form of -Wl compiler option on Solaris to avoid build failure.
Remove reference to alloca(), not available on Solaris 10 with Sun One Studio without additional #include (of <alloca.h>).
Windows build: fix undefined 'vsnprintf' on VS2003.
Windows build: fix undefined 'strcat_s', 'wcscat_s' on VS2003.
Windows build: fix undefined intptr_t on VS2003.
Install: fix bug: <xmlrpc-c/packetsocket.hpp> and <xmlrpc-c/server_pstream.hpp> not installed.

Release 1.13

Released 07.12.27.

Subversion directory release_number/1.13.00.

Make it build on Windows.
C++ Client: Make interruptible; add setInterrupt method.
Add interrupted_client example program.
Server: Implement system.shutdown on C++ server.
Client: Add 'timeout' parameter to Curl transport (does CURLOPT_TIMEOUT).
C Client: Do Digest, GSS-Negotiate, and NTLM HTTP authentication in addition to Basic. Curl transport only.
Add xmlrpc_cpp_proxy, which is the same thing as xml-rpc-api2cpp except that it uses the modern C++ classes instead of the old wrapper classes.
xml-rpc-api2cpp: generate code that doesn't assume 'std' namespace.
xml-rpc-api2cpp: Don't put NUL characters in generated code.
xml-rpc-api2cpp: Recognize upper case data type names in system.methodSignature response, e.g. BOOLEAN.
xml-rpc-api2cpp: fix bug when system.methodSignature says "I don't know."
Remove 256 character limit on fault string in xmlrpc_env.
xmlrpc-c-config: Don't include libabyss in pstream server link.
C++: Add isInstantiated() method to xmlrpc_c::value class.
C++ Abyss server: fix bug when creation of Abyss server fails.
Abyss: when we fail to create a channel switch from a socket, tell why.
Abyss: Fix error message: socket _is_ connected, not _is not_ connected.
Remove query-meerkat and meerkat-app-list example programs; the Meerkat server no longer exists.
Added some missing #includes to C++ files; newer Gcc is picky about this.
Builds/runs with older libcurl without curl_multi_strerror().
Install does not create broken backward compatibility symlinks.
distclean removes srcdir, blddir from src/cpp/test .

Release 1.12

September 26, 2007

Subversion directory release_number/1.12.00.

Add 't' format specifier for time_t conversion of a datetime.
xmlrpc_env_set_fault(), etc. take garbage input and produce valid UTF-8 XML fault string so it can't break an XML-RPC response.
Add xmlrpc_force_to_utf8().
Modify the packet socket protocol to mark both beginning and end of packets. NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE (but probably not used by anybody).
Fix crash in xmlrpc_method_create() with signature and Gcc 4.1, due to improper pointer aliasing.
Fix incorrect error message when Curl fails to perform HTTP transaction (was: "HTTP response: 0").
Fix wild pointer with C++ xmlrpc_c::rpc::start(). (storage containing call XML gets freed before XML transport uses it).
Fix memory leak: one per method added to method registry.
Expat: Add xmlrpc_XML_GetErrorString() and some much improved error information.
Remove last use of Libtool.
Build: recognize as MacOS X where 'configure' generates HOST_OS=darwinXXX instead of just plain 'darwin'.
Build: include <sys/time.h> and <time.h> to define struct timeval and struct timespec.
Build: fix link order for 'xmlrpc' program.

Release 1.11

Released June 27, 2007

Subversion directory release_number/1.11.00.

Add packet stream client and server -- a variation on XML-RPC that uses a simple long-lived stream socket connection between client and server instead of HTTP. Less overhead, less complexity, and ability to maintain state with partner.
Add terminate() method to xmlrpc_c::serverAbyss.
Accept <i1>, <i2> as alternative XML-RPC representation of integer values. Accept Apache <ex.i1>, <ex.i2>, <ex.i8>, and <ex.nil> as alternatives for the obvious types.
Add xmlrpc_serialize_value2() so you can generate the Apache dialect (<ex.nil> and <ex.i8>). Also xmlrpc_serialize_params2(), xmlrpc_serialize_call(), and xmlrpc_serialize_response2(). Add dialect client parameter and xmlrpc_registry_set_dialect(). Also a dialect parameter on client_xml C++ class and registry::setDialect().
Clean up line delimiter issues with XML-RPC strings. Fix some minor problems. Always use LF for line delimiter in generated XML for a string value. Add xmlrpc_string_new_lp_cr(), xmlrpc_string_new_cr(), xmlrpc_read_string_crlf(), xmlrpc_read_string_lp_crlf(), xmlrpc_read_string_w_crlf(), xmlrpc_read_string_w_lp_crlf(), xmlrpc_string_w_new_lp_cr(), xmlrpc_string_w_new_cr(). In the C++ interface, add a value_string constructor with a nlCode argument and add a crlfValue() method to value_string.
Curl client XML transport: Use Curl multi-manager for synchronous RPCs to make them properly interruptible by signals. (Requires March 2007 update to libcurl to avoid delay of up to a second).
XMLRPC_TRACE_XML: properly escape backslash.
Abyss: Fix per-HTTP-request memory leak.
Abyss: Fix infinite loop reading headers when buffer contains data right up to the newline at the end of a header.
ABYSS_TRACE_CONN: deal better with nonprintable characters.
xmlrpc program: Do a fancier job of printing strings in the response.
Fix error message for too many structure members in a format string.
Build: doesn't build tools and examples by default, so that problems building them don't break a default build.
Build: works on a system with no pselect(). (emulates with select()).
Fix compilation failure in thread_fork.c when you configure with --disable-abyss-threads.
Build: De-libtool Expat.

Release 1.10

Released March 28, 2007

Subversion directory release_number/1.10.00.

paramList::add returns a reference to the parameter list itself, so you can stack calls to it. New method ParamList::xadd is a synonym.
Add 'I' to xmlrpc_build_value() and xmlrpc_decompose_value() for 64 bit integer (XMLRPC_TYPE_I8).
C++ abyss server: don't install signal handlers as part of abyss server object constructor. Instead, install them as part of the run() method, and restore them upon exit.
xmlrpc-c-config: Include rpath options where needed.
xmlrpc: Add ability to specify byte string argument (h/).
Client: Add interface for interrupting a call. Implement for Curl transport. With synchronous RPC interface, may delay up to a second (even with March 2007 libcurl release) and may miss signals.
Add xmlrpc_string_new_f() and xmlrpc_string_new_va() -- printf-style arguments.
xmlrpc_read_datetime_sec() does not manipulate TZ environment variable, which is not thread-safe. Uses gmtime_r() instead of gmtime() for the same reason.
xmlrpc_decompose_value(): cure memory leak (one per array or struct).
Server: fix wild pointer use in error case in registry creation.
Abyss: Add to ServerDefaultHandler() the ability to set the builtin default handler (after having set it to something else).
Abyss: Fix: In directory listing, month is one less than actual modification time.
Abyss: Fix buffer overrun in DateInit() when time zone offset is not an integral number of hours.
Build: Fix bug: make install fails when installing over existing installation due to existing library symlink.
Build: fix undefined pthread_mutex_t.
Build: properly recognize Solaris and Netbsd for shared library type purposes.
Build: install missing abyss_unixsock.h, abyss_winsock.h.
Build: fix undefined "errno" by #including <errno> instead of <sys/errno>.
Build: Works again for some Windows.
Build: De-libtool libutil.

Release 1.09

Released December 31, 2006.

Subversion directory release_number/1.09.00.

Let C program create its own XML transport rather than have xmlrpc_client_create() do it.

Move xmlrpc_limit_set() and xmlrpc_limit_get() from libxmlrpc_util to libxmlrpc.

Add XMLRPC_FAILF() for GNU compiler

Server: Fix crash with multi-thread server due to internal use of xmlrpc_value. Use regular C data structures instead of xmlrpc_value for method registry.

Server: fix failure of default method.

Release 1.08

Released November 14, 2006.

Subversion directory release_number/1.08.00.

Fix build with all client XML transports (and therefore all client code) disabled.
Fix client::start() type mismatch causing compiler warning.
Change exported symbol names in libxmlrpc_xmltok to have "xmlrpc_" prefix so as not to collide with separate Expat or libwww library.
Fix a bunch of duplicate make rule problems.

Release 1.07

Released October 11, 2006.

Subversion directory release_number/1.07.00.

New Features

Add 64 bit integer type XMLRPC_TYPE_I8 with XML-RPC representation <i8> (XML-RPC extension).
A user's method function in an Abyss server can now tell the IP address and port of the client. Added SessionGetChannelInfo(), ServerRunChannel().
Registry services: Add xmlrpc_method2 type, xmlrpc_registry_add_method2(), xmlrpc_registry_process_call2(). These allow a server to pass information about the circumstances of a call (e.g. IP address of caller) to a method function.
Add detail to xmlrpc_decompose_value() error messages.
Include library prerequisite information in shared libraries. One thing this fixes is it lets you use a program that was link-edited for Xmlrpc-c 1.03 with a 1.07 library without unresolved references.

Fixes for Use-time Bugs

Abyss crashes when client sends garbage instead of an HTTP request.
xmlrpc_decompose_value() leaks memory when it fails. (Total rewrite).

Build Fixes, Enhancements

Build: Add ability to build in directory separate from source.
Build: Add some missing dependencies and some extra ones to make parallel make work.
Use PIC (position indepdendent code) for C++ shared libraries. (All other shared libraries already did). This means it works on 64 bit Linux.
Build: Fix order of -l options for xmlrpc and xmlrpc_transport.
Build: Add missing dependency on transport_config.h to make file for src/cpp to fix build failure.
Build: Remove space between -L and value in make file.
Build: De-libtool Abyss.

Release 1.06

Released July 13, 2006

Subversion directory release_number/1.06.00.

New Features

Add system.shutdown method.
Add ServerTerminate(), ServerResetTerminate().
Add URI path control (i.e. it doesn't have to be "/RPC2") to Xmlrpc-c Abyss server facilities.
Abstract Abyss socket layer; introduce TChannel and TChanSwitch types.

Fixes for Use-time Bugs

BJH: Fix xmlrpc_client_call_asynch(): wrong sense of env.fault_occurred check.
Change exported symbol names in libxmlrpc_xmlparse to have "xmlrpc_" prefix so as not to collide with separate Expat library.

Build Changes

BJH: Restructure threading facility in Abyss.
BJH: Use strsol constant to eliminate crashes due to out of memory.
BJH: fix HAVE_UNICODE_WCHAR.
BJH: Use xml2-config instead of pkg-config to find Libxml2.
BJH: Make build with external libxml2 work.
BJH: fix make rule for srcdir, blddir to work with broken Make.
BJH: Fix distclean so it removes srcdir and blddir in cpp/ .

BJH: add -Wundef Gcc compile option.

Release 1.05

Released March 29, 2006

Subversion directory release_number/1.05.00.

New Features

BJH: Add run-once and inetd forms of server.
BJH: Add create() and availableTypes() class methods for clientXmlTransport_http.
BJH: Keepalive (persistent connections) works in Abyss. Before, Abyss defaulted to single-request connnections unless the client requested otherwise. For HTTP 1.0, that is correct, but for HTTP 1.1, the opposite is correct. Also, there was some screwy connection between chunking the response and keepalive, and the code was messy enough that there could have been a variety of other bugs.
BJH: XML-RPC Abyss request handler never chunks response. Previously, it normally didn't, but did sometimes, depending somehow on whether the connection was going to be kept alive.
BJH: Abyss XML-RPC server accepts (ignores) parameters after "text/xml" in Content-type header from client.
BJH: serverAbyss: Add runOnce() and runConn() methods. Move most of run() method to constructor.
BJH: Proper global constant initialization (e.g. curl_global_init(), curl_global_cleanup()) in client libraries. clientGlobalConstant class.
BJH: Make C++ registry an autoobject.
BJH: Remove old, broken RPM spec file.
Mike Goddard: in Xmlrpc-c-config, allow libwww-client as synonym for client, for backward compatibility.
BJH: Abyss: Create a non-global-variable option for MIME types.
BJH: Abyss: Add MIMEType_term to go with MIMEType_init().
BJH: improve handling of nonprintable characters in XMLRPC_TRACE_XML output.
BJH: Change default minimum argument on paramList::getDouble() from DBL_MIN to -DBL_MAX.

Fixes For Use-time Bugs

BJH: Eliminate memory leak caused by MIMETtype_init: one leak per program.
BJH: Fix memory leak in C++ client result value - one leak per RPC.
BJH: Fix memory leak in C++ client parameter list - one leak per RPC.
BJH: Fix memory leak in server method registry -- one leak per registered method.
Daniel Dlab: Correct INTERNET_FLAG_IGNORE_CERT_DATE_INVALID to ERROR_INTERNET_SEC_CERT_DATE_INVALID in Wininet transport.
BJH: Fix Abyss' identification of the server software in the web pages it generates to reflect the fact that it is the Xmlrpc-c fork of Abyss.
BJH: Fix memory leak in Curl transport SSL certificate password option.
BJH: Fix memory leak in Abyss handler registration.
BJH: Fix memory leak in method registry - one leak per RPC.
BJH: Fix memory leaks in XML parsing (error paths).
BJH: Fix memory leak in struct set functions.
BJH: Fix memory leak in wide character constructor functions.
BJH: Fix timeouts on Abyss HTTP header read.

Miscellaneous Changes

BJH: Fix signature in xmlrpc_sample_add_server C++ example program.
BJH: Fix build of transport_config.h
BJH: beginnings of libtool-less shared library building for C++ libraries. Fully implemented for Linux only.

New Features

BJH: New shared (reference-counted) pointer classes for C++ client classes.
BJH: New ServerAccessor class for C++ clients for more convenient RPC-calling code.
BJH: Add xmlrpc_parse_response2(). Unlike xmlrpc_parse_response(), it distinguishes between failure to parse and a response that indicates an XML-RPC failure.
BJH: Change Curl transport to use the Curl multi facility (Curl internal threads) instead of pthreads. Simpler, better matched to the Xmlrpc-c user interface, and timeouts now work.
BJH: Remove curl_global_cleanup() so that multiple simultaneous Curl client XML transports per process are essentially possible and they don't interfere with other process use of Curl.
BJH: Add a mess of SSL detail controls for Curl: 'sslversion', 'ssl_cert', etc.
BJH: Add ability to make an Abyss server out of an already bound socket.
BJH: Add d/ (double) to Xmlrpc. Thanks Alistair John Strachan <s0348365@sms.ed.ac.uk>.

Fixes For Use-Time Bugs

BJH: meerkat-app-list example program: remove NUL character from time period parameter.
BJH: Fix use of uninitialized 'name' member in Abyss ServerCreate().
BJH: Serialize access to synchronous Curl session in Curl client XML transport (to avoid crashes with multiple threads).
BJH: fix use of pthread_mutex_t in girmem.hpp, so it can be used in a Windows program.
BJH: Make Abyss work with short writes to sockets. Thanks Alistair John Strachan <s0348365@sms.ed.ac.uk>.

BJH: Fix make file so it installs libxmlrpc_abyss.
BJH: Install client_simple.hpp interface header file.
BJH: Add xmlrpc_c::base64FromBytes(), xmlrpc_c::bytesFromBase64().
Mike West: Don't include tools/xmlrpc and tools/xmlrpc_transport in the build if client library configured out.
BJH: Remove 'cpptest' from default make.
BJH: Always install using the bundled install program, instead of trying to find another install program on the system. And use the aforementioned bundled install program correctly.
BJH: when installing legacy header symlinks, remove old names first.
BJH: Don't try to build C++ tools if C++ libraries not built.
BJH: Don't try to build Abyss example programs if Abyss libraries not built.
BJH: Fix conditional build for wide character (Unicode) stuff.
BJH: Change a "state" to "enum state" to avoid a mysterious AIX compile failure. Add a "const" to a prototype to avoid erroneous AIX compile failure.
BJH: Remove variable argument macros, not available on some AIX.
BJH: Fix for libxml2, no curl builds. make clean cleans test directory

Internal Changes

BJH: Privatize most of the lower layers of Abyss -- move them out of the public interface header file abyss.h.

Release 1.03

Released June 26, 2005.

Subversion directory release_number/1.03.00.

BJH: New C++ libraries designed for pure C++ applications (Application never sees the underlying C structures or reference counts).
BJH: Make Curl do cookies (session only) and persistent connections. This is only for calls through the synchronous interface, and the synchronous interface is no longer thread safe -- you can have only one thread making calls through it.
BJH: Add Curl SSL_NO_VERIFYPEER, SSL_NO_VERIFYHOST control.
BJH: Add User-Agent to Curl transport, Xmlrpc program.
BJH: libwww transport does not do the weird handling of the "auth" cookie. It used to have a global cookie (one cookie shared by all servers) called "auth", which it maintained in an environment variable.
BJH: interface header files renamed from xmlrpc_xxx to xmlrpc-c/xxx (old names installed a symbolic links for backward compatibility).
BJH: libxmlrpc_server_abyss: Add ability to set the /RPC2 handler without also setting default handler, and to set handlers for files other than /RPC2.
BJH: libxmlrpc_server_abyss: Eliminate global variable for registry handle.
BJH: Abyss: allow user's request handlers to have context (Add URIHandler2 type).
BJH: Add xmlrpc_datetime_new_sec(), xmlrpc_read_datetime_sec().
BJH: Builds on AIX - new __inline definition, uint32_t instead of uint32, et al.
BJH: Don't build client library if not building any client XML transport.
BJH: Fix bug: xmlrpc_serialize_base64_data() doesn't free working storage.
BJH: Fix mysterious disablement of forking Abyss (ServerRunForked()).
BJH: Fix bug: 'make install' doesn't install libxmlrpc_xmltok.
