Changes in GNet
2.0.8
-----
* New API:
gnet_conn_set_main_context
gnet_conn_http_set_main_context
gnet_inetaddr_new_async_full
gnet_inetaddr_new_list_async_full
gnet_inetaddr_get_name_async_full
gnet_tcp_socket_connect_async_full
gnet_tcp_socket_new_async_full
gnet_tcp_socket_new_async_direct_full
gnet_unix_socket_new_abstract
gnet_unix_socket_server_new_abstract
gnet_uri_parse_inplace
* GConnHttp API is no longer marked as experimental
* Fix major memory leak in GConnHttp
* gnet_init() can now safely be called
more than once now
* Fix crash when gnet_conn_http_delete()
is called from within the user callback.
* GConnHttp: do not emit data events for
pages that are being redirected to a
new location.
* GConnHttp: add gnet_conn_http_set_escaped_uri()
(Samuel Cormier-Iijima)
* Eliminate direct pthread usage on unix
and use GLib GThreads instead (also
fixes problems with gdb and valgrind)
(Andreas Rottmann)
* Dropped support for GLib-1.2
* Fix build on old systems that have
a __ss_family member in struct
sockaddr_storage instead of
ss_family (Jeremy Denise)
* GConnHttp: Documentation fixes
* Fix compilation with --enable-debug
on some 64-bit architectures like
amd64 (Daniel Gryniewicz)
* GConnHttp: fix several timeout issues
(Steve Morris, Tim Muller).
* GConnHttp: fix parsing of POST method
response when there are optional headers
after the 100-Continue response (#459895).
* Relicense source code in examples/
directory from GPL to LGPL.
* Add 'extern "C"' guards to pack.h to
make things work with c++ compilers
(thanks to Adriano Winter Bess).
* New API: gnet_conn_write_direct() to
write buffers asynchroneously without
copying them (Jeff Garzik)
* Fix for race condition and subsequent
crash in asynchroneous DNS lookup
(Steve Morris, Tim Müller)
* Pass correct size parameters to bind()
and connect() when creating unix sockets
(Zeeshan Ali, #403197)
* New API: gnet_unix_socket_new_abstract()
and gnet_unix_socket_server_new_abstract()
add support for abstract unix sockets on
systems where this is supported
(Zeeshan Ali, #404583)
* Remove unused and pointless fork() fallback
for asynchronous DNS lookups in cases where
GLib has been compiled without threading
support. It's 2007 - I think it's in order
to require threading to be present; even my
wrist watch can do that. Removs lots of
unmaintained code and ugly #ifdefs.
(Released Feb 3, 2008)

win32 systems (only if gnet has been built
