545 no checks for zlib version are now performed, only OpenSSL 0.9.6 is
546 required. --with-force-ssl, --with-force-zlib option removed.
547 * Add --with-egd[=PATH] option, conditionally enable EGD support; either
548 using EGD socket at PATH, or fall back on system defaults. $EGDSOCKET
549 and $HOME/.entropy are no longer used.
550 * Add support for `--la-file' argument to neon-config, which prints the
551 full path of the installed libneon.la file.
552
553 Changes in release 0.23.4:
554 * Ignore an unclean SSL shutdown on persistent connection timeout

574 by Noriaki Takamiya <takamiya@po.ntts.co.jp>)
575 * For a hostname with multiple addresses, each address is tried in turn
576 until a connection is made.
577 * Support for seeding OpenSSL's PRNG via $EGDSOCKET or $HOME/.entropy,
578 to enable SSL on platforms which lack a /dev/random device.
579 * RFC2818 compliance for certificate identity checks in SSL:
580 - use `dNSname' values in subjectAltName extension if present
581 - hostname comparison fixed to not be case-sensitive

589 initialization fails (e.g. platforms without /dev/random).
590 * Added reference documentation:
591 - ne_sock_init, ne_addr_*.
592
593 Changes in release 0.22.0:
594 * Remove the const qualifier from the reason_phrase field in ne_status.
595 - ne_parse_statusline() now strdup's the reason_phrase
596 * Remove the status_line argument from ne_207_end_propstat and _end_response
597 * Change ne_session_create, ne_session_proxy, ne_sock_connect, and the
598 'port' field of the ne_uri structure to use an unsigned int for port numbers
599 * ne_uri_defaultport returns unsigned and '0' on an unknown port (not -1).
600 * Changes to hooks interface:
601 - pass an ne_request pointer to per-request hooks
602 - replace "accessor" hooks with ne_{get,set}_{request,session}_private
603 * Authentication changes:
604 - the hooks changes fix a segfault if auth is enabled for an SSL session
605 through a proxy server
606 - fix ne_forget_auth segfault if either proxy or server auth are not used
607 * Improvements to persistent connection retry logic and error handling
608 in request code; fixing some cases where some errors where incorrectly

610 - a TCP RST at the appropriate time is now treated as a persistent
611 connection timeout.
612 - handle persistent connection timeouts on SSL connections
613 * Changes to SSL support:
614 - improved error handling
615 - OpenSSL 0.9.6f or later is required for security fixes and functional

618 - fix for proxy CONNECT tunnelling with some proxies (e.g. Traffic-Server)
619 - fix potential segfault if client cert. provider callback is used
620 - fix to use supplied password callback for PEM-encoded client certificates
621 (Daniel Berlin <dberlin@dberlin.org>)
622 * strerror_r is used if available for thread-safe error handling.
623 * Remove ne_read_file().
624 * ne_version_match replaces ne_version_minimum (semantics changed slightly).
625 * XML request bodies use a content-type of "application/xml" now;
626 applications can use NE_XML_MEDIA_TYPE from ne_xml.h
627 * Fix decompress code on big-endian or 64-bit platforms.

637 * Fix segfault if using proxy server with SSL session and server
638 certificate verification fails.
639 * Fix leak of proxy hostname once per session (if a proxy is used).

651 * More optimisation of ne_sock_readline.
652
653 Changes in release 0.21.1:
654 * Don't include default SSL port in Host request header, which can
655 help interoperability with misbehaving servers (thanks to Rodney Dawes
656 <dobey@ximian.com>).
657 * Don't give a "truncated response" error from ne_decompress_destroy if
658 the acceptance function returns non-zero.
659 * Fix for Win32 build (Sander Striker <striker@apache.org>).

664 * Socket layer implements read buffering; efficiency and performance
665 improvement. Based on work by Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com>
666 * Cleanup of socket interface:
667 - renamed everything, s/sock_/ne_sock_/, s/SOCK_/NE_SOCK_/
668 - removed unused and inappropriate interfaces.
669 - renaming done by Olof Oberg <mill@pedgr571.sn.umu.se>
670 - see src/ChangeLog for the gory details.
671 * Fix typoed 'ne_destroy_fn' typedef (Olof Oberg).
672 * Support OpenSSL/ENGINE branch.
673 * Bogus ne_utf8_encode/decode functions removed.
674 * ne_base64() moved to ne_string.[ch].

679 * Drop support for automatically following redirects:
680 - ne_redirect_register just takes a session pointer
681 - ne_redirect_location returns an ne_uri pointer
682 * configure changes: --with-ssl and --with-socks no longer take a directory
683 argument. To use SOCKS or SSL libraries/headers in non-system locations,
684 use ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/... LDFLAGS=-L/...
685 * Reference documentation included for most of ne_alloc.h and ne_string.h,
686 and parts of ne_session.h and ne_request.h.
687 - see installed man pages, HTML documentation.
688
689 Changes in release 0.20.0:
690 * Major changes to DAV lock handling interface (ne_locks.h):
691 - struct ne_lock uses a full URI structure to identify locked resource
692 - ne_lock() requires that owner/token fields are malloc-allocated (or NULL)
693 on entry
694 - introduce a "lock store" type, ne_lock_store, to replace the lock session;
695 accessor functions all renamed to ne_lockstore_*.
696 - ne_lock_iterate replaced with a first/next "cursor"-style interface
697 - If: headers use an absoluteURI (RFC2518 compliance fix).
698 - fix for handling shared locks on DAV servers which return many active locks
699 in the LOCK response (thanks to Keith Wannamaker)
700 * Moved URI/path manipulation functions under ne_* namespace (ne_uri.h):
701 - path handling functions renamed to ne_path_*
702 - URI structure handling to ne_uri_*; struct uri becomes ne_uri.
703 - ne_uri_parse doesn't take a 'defaults' parameter any more
704 - if URI port is unspecified, ne_uri_parse sets port to 0 not -1.
705 - added ne_uri_unparse and ne_uri_defaultport functions.
706 * New 'ne_fill_server_uri' function to initialize a URI structure with
707 the server details for a given session (useful with locks interface).
708 * ne_decompress_{reader,destroy} are defined as passthrough-functions
709 if zlib support is not enabled.
710 * API change: ne_ssl_provide_fn returns void not int.
711 * Added NE_SSL_FAILMASK for verify failure sanity check.
712 * Removed return codes NE_SERVERAUTH and and NE_AUTHPROXY; correct
713 documentation, NE_PROXYAUTH is given for proxy auth failure.
714 * Require zlib >= 1.1.4 to avoid possible vulnerability in earlier versions.
715 See http://www.gzip.org/zlib/advisory-2002-03-11.txt for more details.
716 (version check can be skipped by passing --with-force-zlib to configure)
717 * New 'ne_ssl_readable_dname' function to create a human-readable string
718 from an X509 distinguished name.
719 * Fix support for newer versions of libxml2 (thanks to Jon Trowbridge
720 <trow@gnu.org>).
721 * Fix corruption of reason_phrase in status object returned by
722 ne_propset_status.
723 * More lenient handling of whitespace in response headers.
724 * ne_content_type_handler will give a charset of "ISO-8859-1" if no charset
725 parameter is specified for a text/* media type (as per RFC2616).
726 * Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes (Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com>).
727
728 Changes in release 0.19.4:
729 * Support bundled build of expat 1.95.x (Branko Èibej).
730

741 * Add missing stubs for ne_ssl_* functions for non-SSL build.
742 * Fix some error messages in new SSL code.
743
744 Changes in release 0.19.0:
745 * Major API change: ne_session_create now takes (scheme, hostname, port)
746 arguments: a session is clarified to be "a group of requests to a
747 certain server".
748 - removal of ne_session_server, ne_set_secure, and ne_set_proxy_decider
749 - ne_session_proxy returns void.
750 - DNS lookups are delayed until request dispatch time.
751 * Significant improvements to TLS/SSL support:
752 - SSL is enabled if scheme passed to ne_session_create is "https"
753 - new interfaces to load CA certs and to load SSL library's bundled CA certs
754 - add server cert verification callback. An SSL connection to a server
755 with an unknown CA will now fail unless a verification callback is used.
756 - enable SSL session caching (performance improvement)
757 - support for wildcard server certs where commonName is "*.example.com".
758 - thanks to Tommi Komulainen for the contribution of code from mutt's
759 IMAP/SSL implementation under the LGPL, from which bits of this were derived.
760 * Improved SSL client certificate support:
761 - far simpler interface, all done at ne_session.h level.
762 - supports PKCS#12 and PEM-encoded certificates.
763 - optional callback for only providing client when demanded by server.
764 * Support for TLS upgrade is removed, since it isn't useful.
765 * If NEON_SSL is defined, API extensions are available to:
766 - allow access to the SSL_CTX * to adjust session SSL options
767 - retrieve the server certificate (X509 *)
768 * Decompress fixes:
769 - fix potential segfault in ne_decompress_destroy
770 - check the CRC of the deflated output (and fail if it doesn't match)
771 - fail appropriately on truncated responses, and trailing bytes in response.
772 * Added ne_set_read_timeout to use configurable timeout on socket reads.
773 * Malformed response headers will be ignored rather than failing the request.
774 * ne_set_error takes printf-style vararg.
775 * Fixes for ne_get_range and improve error handling.
776 * Functions which append to an ne_buffer do not return a success value,
777 but they do use ne_realloc/ne_malloc under the hood now, so an OOM callback
778 will be used (with the usual caveats).
779 * XML interface does not strip leading whitespace from cdata by default,
780 the NE_XML_STRIPWS flag is available to restore this feature if required.
781 * Upgraded to libtool 1.4.2:
782 - should fix --enable-shared on Mac OS X 10.1
783 * Test suite now contains over one hundred tests.
784
785 Changes in release 0.18.5:
786 * Removed old neon.dsp, neon.dsw.
787 * Update Win32 build to add OpenSSL and zlib support (Branko Èibej).
788 * Fix ne_compress.c to compile on Win32 (Branko Èibej).
789
790 Changes in release 0.18.4:
791 * Fixes for Content-Type parsing using ne_content_type_handler (Greg Stein)
792 - also now parses the charset parameter from header value.
793 * Removed ne_concat() function, which didn't work and wasn't used.
794
795 Changes in release 0.18.3:
796 * Fix parsing lock timeout from server (Arun Garg).
797 * Send Timeout headers in LOCK and refresh LOCK requests (Arun Garg).
798 * Updated neon.mak and config.hw.in for Win32 build (patch from
799 Branko Èibej <brane@xbc.nu>).
800 * Define XML_BYTE_ORDER for bundled expat build in support macro
801 NEON_XML_PARSER().
802
803 Changes in release 0.18.2:
804 * Fix --with-neon=PATH in support macros.
805 * Support DESTDIR in Makefile install targets (patch by
806 Pawel Golaszewski <blues@blysk.ds.pg.gda.pl>).
807 * Portability fixes:
808 - fix configure check for time_t on some platforms (e.g Solaris 2.6).
809 - remove expect100_works bitfield in ne_session structure (thanks to
810 Yan Periard <yperiard@ems.net>).
811
812 Changes in release 0.18.1:
813 * Minor fix for authentication: "attempt" counter was not reset correctly
814 after authentication failed, so subsequent requests would not authenticate
815 correctly either.
816 * API change: ne_session_destroy returns void (there was no error case).
817 * Portability fixes (non-GCC compilers, 64-bit platforms, UnixWare 7)
818 * Optimisations in string manipulation routines.
819 * config.hw is included in the release tarball again.
820 * Improvements in the autoconf support macros:
821 - check for neon-config in PATH if --with-neon is not given
822 - stop if --with-neon is used, and the check for external neon fails
823 - added NEON_WITHOUT_ACL to prevent build of ne_acl.o
824
825 Changes in release 0.18.0:
826 * API change: authentication callback is passed fixed-size username/password
827 buffers, and an 'attempt' counter. Authentication is retried *forever*
828 until either it succeeds, or the callback returns non-zero.
829 * API clarifications:
830 - ne_propname may have a NULL nspace field, indicating the property has no
831 namespace. This holds for properties returned by the propfind interfaces.
832 - added NE_ELM_PROPS_UNUSED as the lowest element number which should
833 be used with handlers added to the XML parser returned by
834 ne_propfind_get_parser.
835 * Fixes and cleanups of lock discovery interface.
836 * Fix for short write handling in ne_get() (thanks to rado <dzusto@yahoo.com>).
837 * Fix for XML namespace prefix handling where a prefix could be mapped to an
838 incorrect URI (e.g. in PROPFINDs against mod_dav with >10 namespaces used)
839 * Add '--support <feature>' option to neon-config; the script exits with
840 success if given feature is supported. Known features are ssl, dav, zlib.
841 * Support for SSL, DAV, zlib is exported by neon.m4 as shell variable
842 NEON_SUPPORTS_{SSL,DAV,ZLIB}={yes,no} for bundled and external builds.
843 * `neon-config --cflags` won't include -I/usr/include for SSL build.
844 * Fix to call progress callbacks while sending request bodies again.
845 * Test changes:
846 - portability fixes, auth interface and progress tests.
847
848 Changes in release 0.17.2:
849 * Accept Status-Lines with no reason phrase (Jeremy Elson).

876 unbounded operations.
877
878 Changes in release 0.17.0:
879 * Add support for decoding gzip Content-Encoding: see ne_compress.h.
880 - built if zlib is found; `neon-config --cflags' will define NEON_ZLIB if so.

928 * Fix Y2K bug in RFC1036 date parsing algorithm.
929 * Test changes:
930 - add tests for date parsing functions.

934 - new files neon.mak, INSTALL.win32
935 * Fix for ne_socket.h includes (Mo DeJong).
936 * More improvements for XML parser selection logic:

958 * ne_buffer is no longer opaque.
959 - ne_buffer_data() removed: use buf->data instead.
960 - ne_buffer_size() is a macro.
961 * Header renames and additions:

975 necessary (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).
976 * Fix alignment bug in MD5 code which could cause SIGBUS on Sparc
977 architectures (Kai Sommerfeld).
978 * Rewrite of request body handling:
979 - ne_set_request_body_fd replaces _stream, using an int fd rather than
980 a FILE *.
981 - added ne_set_request_body_provider to give a callback which is called
982 to provide request body blocks.
983 - removal of 'use_body' hook in favour of 'ne_pull_request_body' function
984 to allow hooks to manually read the request body.
985 - ne_{put,get,post,put_if_unmodified} all take an integer fd rather than a
986 FILE * stream.
987 * Test changes:
988 - added framework for testing "over the wire" (fork a server process)
989 - added tests for response message length handling, chunked responses,
990 header folding, sending request bodies.
991 - start at listing RFC2616 requirements and whether they are met
992 or not in test/STATUS.
993 - test for MD5 alignment bug on Sparc (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).
994
995 Changes in release 0.14.0:
996 * Add C++ inclusion safety to http_auth.h (Kai Sommerfeld).
997 * Define ssize_t on Win32. (Kai Sommerfeld).
998 * Add C++ inclusion safety to dav_locks.h and ne_alloc.h (thanks to
999 Gregor Bornemann <Gregor.Bornemann@germany.sun.com>).

1003 - add parameter to dav_propfind_named to take the list of property names
1004 to be fetched.
1005 - new function dav_propfind_set_private to set private callback.
1006 - all properties not handled by caller are stored as flat properties.
1007 * Untested: add basic SOCKSv5 support: configure --with-socks.
1008 - please report success/failure to neon@webdav.org
1009 * Win32/MSVC build files from Magnus Sirwiö <sirwio@hotmail.com>.
1010 * Fix for expat detection from Shane Mayer <shanemayer42@yahoo.com>.
1011 * Namespace-protect md5 code and more.
1012 - md5_* -> ne_md5_*

1015 - added 'authinfo' field to struct uri.
1016 * New API: hip_xml_get_attr to retrieve attributes.
1017 * Store language for properties, access with dav_propset_lang.
1018 - only if property is defined on the property element itself.
1019 * Started a simple test suite (test/*).
1020 - includes some simple HTTP server tests.
1021 * Remove "Content-Length: 0" header for request with no body, fixing
1022 interop with Squid 2.3-STABLE1 (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).
1023 * http_parse_statusline skips leading whitespace. (Johan Lindh).
1024 * Partial fix for timezone/date parsing problems.
1025
1026 Changes in release 0.13.0:
1027 * Fix ne_strndup allocating one byte less than it should (Kai Sommerfeld)
1028 - if you use uri_parse, this bug may have caused subtle memory corruption
1029 in your application.
1030 * Revert API changes in 0.12: property values are not UTF-8 encoded/decoded
1031 internally. (thanks to Greg Stein)
1032 * Add another optional argument to NEON_BUNDLED macros, actions to
1033 be run if bundled build is *not* selected.
1034 * API change: added argument to http_add_hooks to register cleanup function
1035 for the cookie.
1036 * Removed dav_lock_unregister in favour of automatic cleanup when session
1037 is destroyed.
1038 * Fixed leaks in redirect code (Kai Sommerfeld).
1039 * Fixed crashes in hip_xml_destroy (Kai Sommerfeld).
1040 * Redirects to a different hostname/port/scheme are never followed: the request
1041 will fail with HTTP_REDIRECT instead. Redirect notification callback is
1042 only called for *followed* redirects.
1043 New API: http_redirect_location() for retrieving location of last redirect.
1044 * Authentication is now implemented as a hook, independently of http_request.c:
1045 - API change: removed 'hostname' argument from auth callbacks.
1046 - API change: you must now include http_auth.h from your application.
1047 - Also fixes case of using server and proxy authentication simultaneously
1048 * Added 'http_forget_auth' to clear authentication session.
1049 * New API: http_session_hook_private for retrieving private per-session cookie
1050 for hooks.
1051 * API change: http_set_request_body_stream has a return error value.
1052 * API change: http_set_request_body_buffer now takes the buffer length too.
1053 * New API: caller-pulls interface for reading response body:
1054 http_begin_request, http_end_request, http_read_response_block.
1055 An alternative to using the (much simpler) http_request_dispatch.
1056 * Make --disable-webdav build work.
1057 * New API: dav_propnames for retrieving property names.
1058 * New API: dav_propfind_get_request to access request object of handler.
1059 * API change: progress and connection status callbacks implemented at
1060 http_request.h level. Socket-level status callbacks removed, progress
1061 callbacks made per-socket.
1062 * Supports new expat (Sam TH <sam@uchicago.edu>)
1063 * Supports libxml2 (in preference to libxml1).
1064 * API change: added namespace protection to base64 and dates functions:
1065 all have ne_ prefix now.
1066 * Fixed ranged GETs where a specific range is requested (Johan Lindh
1067 <johan@linkdata.se>).
1068 * Limit number of response header fields to 100.
1069 * Allow requests for the '*' URI even if a proxy server is in use.
1070 * libxml: Get useful error messages for parse errors.
1071

1077 <kai.sommerfeld@germany.sun.com>).
1078 * Make redirects to a different host work (Kai Sommerfeld).
1079 * Fix reading response bodies when non-chunked and no Content-Length
1080 (Kai Sommerfeld).
1081 * API change: 'http_add_hooks takes a 'const' request object.
1082 * Fixed memory leaks in session hooks (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).
1083 * Fix passing NULL props argument to dav_simple_propfind, to support
1084 allprop requests.
1085 **** MAJOR INTERFACE CHANGE ****
1086 - URIs passed to http_request_create() are NOT escaped by neon. You
1087 MUST do this yourself to remain HTTP compliant, using e.g.
1088 uri_abspath_escape. (Kai Sommerfeld)
1089 * Added --disable-webdav flag to configure, to disable DAV support in
1090 the library. This allows building neon without an XML parser.
1091 * Corresponding NEON_WITHOUT_WEBDAV macro for use in bundled builds.
1092 * Fix Makefile dependancies.
1093 * A bundled neon directory builds or doesn't build automatically
1094 (i.e. you recurse into it unconditionally).
1095 * API clarification:
1096 - dav_propset_status may return NULL if the server does not return
1097 a response for the given property (issue is open for debate).
1098 * API change up for debate:
1099 - Property values to dav_proppatch are UTF-8 encoded internally.
1100 - Property values in dav_propfind_* are UTF-8 decoded internally.
1101 * API additions: ne_realloc, ne_utf8_encode.
1102
1103 Changes in release 0.11.0:
1104 * Added SSL client certificate support with 'sock_set_client_cert'.
1105 - Supports certs in PEM-encoded files.
1106 - Specify a callback for prompting the user for the password with
1107 sock_set_key_prompt.
1108 * Added 'ne_oom_callback', to register a callback which is used if
1109 malloc() returns NULL. (Mike Rosellini <m@icopyright.com>)
1110 * Register appropriate callback with libxml to handle <![CDATA blocks
1111 as normal character data (fixes PROPFINDs against sharemation.com).
1112 * Added 'NEON_REQUIRE' macro to declare that you require a neon library
1113 of a given minimum version, e.g. NEON_REQUIRE(0,10) means "I need
1114 neon 0.11 or later". The _BUNDLED macros will fall back on the bundled
1115 copy if an external library is found which is not of a new enough version.
1116 * Added neon_version_minimum() function call for run-time version detection.
1117 * neon_config.h has been removed.
1118 * Use closesocket() to close sockets on Win32 (Markus Fleck <fleck@isoc.de>).
1119
1120 Changes in release 0.10.1:
1121 * Default expect-100 to OFF.
1122
1123 Changes in release 0.10.0:
1124 * hip_xml API changes:
1125 - The search for a handler for a new child element begins at the
1126 handler of the parent element, and carries on up the stack.
1127 (previously, it always started from the base of the stack)
1128 - Documentation written: doc/parsing-xml.txt
1129 * Remove memory leaks and tidy debugging output in new properties code.
1130 * API changes to DAV locking interface:
1131 - New function: dav_lock_copy to copy a lock object.
1132 - Re-ordered arguments to callback of dav_lock_discover, and made the
1133 lock object passed back const.
1134 - Fix leaks and crashes due to vague interface definitions.
1135 * API change to dav_propfind_set_complex: use a callback to return the
1136 'private' structure.
1137 * NEON_NORMAL_BUILD and NEON_LIBTOOL_BUILD macros defined for setting
1138 up neon's Makefile in a bundled build: see macros/neon.m4.
1139 * NEON_VPATH_BUNDLED macro added which takes separate srcdir and
1140 builddir arguments for supporting VPATH builds (thanks to Peter Moulder
1141 <pjm@bofh.asn.au>).
1142 * Added optional final argument to NEON_(VPATH_)BUNDLED, which gives
1143 a set of actions to be run if the bundled build is chosen.
1144 * NEON_SSL checks for OpenSSL in /usr too.
1145 * API change: when using http_session_decide_proxy, it MUST be called
1146 before using http_session_server to prevent the DNS lookup on the origin
1147 server being optimised out. The real scheme in use is passed to the
1148 callback now.
1149 * New function, dav_207_ignore_unknown, to ignore any unknown XML fragments
1150 in the 207 response. Used by properties layer.
1151
1152 Changes in release 0.9.2:
1153 * Fix using both dav_propfind_set_complex and dav_propfind_set_flat with the
1154 same propfind_handler.
1155
1156 Changes in release 0.9.1:
1157 * dav_propfind interface
1158 - Guarantee that the 'private' structure will be initialized to zero on
1159 creation.
1160 - Make it the *callers* responsibility to free() the private structure.
1161 * Fix a few arguments/variables which mirrored globally declared symbols.
1162
1163 Changes in release 0.9.0:
1164 * Removed old dav_propfind_* interface, replaced with a better, more
1165 powerful, and easier to use interface:
1166 - 'dav_simple_propfind' interface for just fetching "flat" (byte-string)
1167 properties.
1168 - 'dav_propfind_*' interface for fetching flat and/or "complex" (structured
1169 XML) properties.
1170 - Lets you retrieve the 'status' information, to see what happened if
1171 fetching the property failed (e.g 404 Not Found).
1172 * Fixes to doc/using-neon.txt (thanks to Greg Stein).
1173 * Allow building when srcdir != builddir (Mo DeJong <mdejong@cygnus.com>)
1174
1175 Changes in release 0.8.1:
1176 * Fix segfault in PROPFIND code.

1185 <dreid@jetnet.co.uk>).
1186 * Add buffering to socket code for pre-BONE BeOS systems (David Reid).
1187 * Interface changes for hip_xml:
1188 - Renamed hip_xml_add_(mixed_)handler to hip_xml_push_(mixed_)handler
1189 - Documentation updates.
1190 - Added HIP_ELM_UNUSED for lowest element id which should be used.
1191 *** MAJOR INTERFACE CHANGE ***
1192 - Removed 'http_status *' pointer from http_request_dispatch.
1193 - Added http_get_status(req) to retrieve the response-status information
1194 instead. You don't have to declare an http_status object yourself now.
1195 * Similarly, added DAV_ELM_207_UNUSED for lowest element id which should
1196 be used by users of dav_207_* code (incl. use of dav_propfind_*
1197 code).
1198 * New NEON_* autoconf macro interface:
1199 - Use NEON_BUNDLED if sources are bundled, otherwise NEON_LIBRARY.
1200 - The NEON_XML_PARSER macro is NOT called automatically. You must
1201 call this yourself if using NEON_BUNDLED; see doc/using-neon.txt
1202 for details.
1203 * Fix use of 'socket' in nsocket.h function prototypes (Greg Stein).
1204 * Remove extra backslash at line 69 of src/Makefile.incl (Dirk Bergstrom).

1213 * Attempt at correct sock_block() implementation for SSL.
1214 * sock_peek() will return SOCK_CLOSED correctly.
1215
1216 Changes in release 0.7.5:
1217 * Fixed workaround for linking against a libtool-built expat (Greg Stein).
1218
1219 Changes in release 0.7.4:
1220 * Fix for fd leak on connect failure (David Sloat <d.sloat@f5.com>).
1221 * Fix for Digest auth against IIS5 (David Sloat).

1232 * Added 'dav_propfind_destroy' function.
1233
1234 Changes in release 0.7.1:
1235 * Don't register response body/header authentication callbacks if no
1236 credentials-supplying callback has been registered (speed optimisation).
1237
1238 Changes in release 0.7.0:
1239 * Deprecated use of 'NULL' to http_add_response_header_handler.
1240 New interface, http_add_response_header_catcher, to register
1241 a callback which is passed ALL response headers regardless of name.
1242 * Speed optimisation (~10%?): storing response-header handlers in a
1243 hash table for faster look.
1244 * New SBUFFER_CAST() macro for getting to the 'char *' of an sbuffer
1245 as fast as possible.
1246
1247 Changes in release 0.6.1:
1248 * Fix for retrying request if connection is closed by server.
1249 * Make redirect hook work for >1 request per session.
1250
1251 Changes in release 0.6.0:
1252 * New interface to allow following HTTP redirects (301/302 responses).
1253 A callback must be given to get user confirmation if the request method
1254 is not GET, HEAD, or PROPFIND.
1255 * New interface to determine whether the proxy server should be used
1256 for a given request: http_session_decide_proxy.
1257 * Fix nget build again. Support automatic redirects in 'nget'.
1258 * Add --with-extra-includes and --with-extra-libs configure parameters
1259 to point configure at
1260

1263 is not registered (thanks to David Sloat).
1264
1265 Changes in release 0.5.0:
1266 * Rename xmalloc, xstrdup etc to ne_malloc, ne_strdup etc.
1267 * Some speed optimisation in response-header reading.
1268 * Use 'off_t' rather than 'size_t' in sock_progress callback,
1269 sock_readfile_blocked, and sock_transfer.
1270
1271 Changes in release 0.4.2:
1272 * Fix for sending request bodies after getting 100-continue response.
1273

1281 * Rename md5.h to neon_md5.h (avoids conflict with md5.h in OpenSSL)
1282 * Rename socket.h to nsocket.h (avoids possible conflict with C library)
1283 * Update licensing notice on macros/neon*.m4: note that these files are
1284 NOT under the LGPL, and can be used in other packages regardless of
1285 the license the package uses.
1286 * Update NEON_LIBRARY m4 function to allow optional specification of
1287 names of bundled neon/expat source directories.
1288 * Increase socket read timeout to 60 seconds.
1289 * Added an POST method: from Sander Alberink <sander.alberink@cmg.nl>.
1290 * Added 'http_get_request_headers' to return the sbuffer containing
1291 all request headers.
1292 * Allow passing NULL as name to http_add_response_header_handler:
1293 the handler callback is passed the entire header string, of ALL
1294 response headers.
1295
1296 Changes in release 0.3.1:
1297 * Compile fix for dav_locks.c (thanks to Paul D'Anna)
1298
1299 Changes in release 0.3.0:
1300 * Rewrite of socket handling layer. All sock_* functions changed.
1301 * Added basic SSL support: --with-ssl (requires OpenSSL).
1302 NOTE: Certificates are NOT presented for verification.
1303 * 'nget' accepts URL's using the 'https' scheme.
1304 * New example program, 'nserver', to display the Server: string,
1305 e.g. 'nserver https://www.eu.c2.net/'
1306 * Fixed request re-send when persistent connection times out.
1307 * "Hooks" support: allow external hooks into the HTTP request/
1308 response dispatch loop.
1309 * New printf-style interface for adding request headers.
1310 * Make symbols used in header files C++-safe (Tom Bednarz).
1311 * WebDAV locking support: lock discovery, LOCK (exclusive/shared)
1312 UNLOCK. "If:" headers are sent as appropriate. Simple interface
1313 for implementors of new methods to indicate which locks are
1314 required for the method.
1315 * Primitive HTTP cookies support.
1316 * Primitive hack at a GNOME-based GUI example program "nbrowse".
1317 Enable build with --enable-gnome-examples. It crashes, and
1318 not much else. Requires GNOME and POSIX threads. Example usage:
1319 'nbrowse dav.ics.uci.edu /msdav/'
1320 Many thanks to Lee Mallabone for Gtk help, and showing how to
1321 use Gtk and threads.
1322
1323 Changes in release 0.2.0:
1324 * Use libtool: new configure options to select whether to build
1325 shared and/or static libraries. Should build shared libraries
1326 portably now.
1327 * Complete rewrite of the hip_xml interface to use opaque pointers.
1328 New functions: hip_xml_create, hip_xml_destroy: create parser.
1329 hip_xml_{set,get}_error: Access to error string.
1330 hip_xml_add_handler: Register callbacks for a set of elements.
1331 hip_xml_valid: Returns whether the parse was valid or not.
1332 Removed functions: hip_xml_init, hip_xml_finish.
1333 * Removed functions made reduntant by above changes in dav_207.
1334 * Don't include config.h in header files
1335 * Fix PROPFIND allprop request body (Michael Sobolev)
1336 * Added C++ safety macros around header files.
1337 * Added neon-config script for getting correct CFLAGS and LIBS
1338 values for using libneon in applications.
1339
1340 Changes in release 0.1.1:
1341 * Fix for short writes in GET
1342
1343 Changes in release 0.1.0:
1344 * Initial release.
