Many changes for 2.0 happened in the C layer, -which has been almost completely rewritten. The code has been ported to -Lua 5.0 and greatly improved. There have also been some API changes -that made the interface simpler and more consistent. Here are some of -the changes that made it into version 2.0: +Changes in the 2.0-beta2 were mostly bug-fixes. -<> Major C code rewrite. Code is modular and extensible. Hopefully, other - developers will be motivated to provide code for SSL, local domain - sockets, file descriptors, pipes (on Unix) and named pipes etc; - -<> Everything that is exported by the library is exported inside - namespaces. These should be obtained with calls to the - 'require' function; - -<> Functions such as - send/receive/timeout/close etc do not exist anymore as stand-alone - functions. They are now only available as methods of the appropriate - objects; - -<> All functions return a non-nil value as first return value if successful. - All functions return 'nil' followed by error message - in case of error. This made the library much easier to use; - -<> Greatly reduced the number of times the C select is called - during data transfers, by calling only on failure. This might - improve a lot the maximum throughput; - -<> TCP has been changed to become more uniform. It's possible to first - create a TCP object, - then connect or bind if needed, and finally use I/O functions. - 'socket.connect' and 'socket.bind' functions are still - provided for simplicity; - -<> This allows for setting a timeout value before connecting; - -<> And also allows binding to a local address before connecting; - -<> New 'socket.dns.gethostname' function and 'shutdown' - method; - -<> Better error messages and parameter checking; - -<> Should be interrupt safe; - -<> UDP connected sockets can break association with peer by calling - 'setpeername' with address ''*''; - -<> Sets returned by 'socket.select' are associative; - -<> Select checks if sockets have buffered data and returns immediately; - -<> 'socket.sleep' and 'socket.time' are now part of the - library and are supported. They used to be available only when - LUASOCKET_DEBUG was defined, but it turns out they might be useful for - applications; - -<> 'socket.newtry' and 'socket.protect' provide a simple - interface to exceptions that proved very in the implementation of - high-level modules; - -<> Socket options interface has been improved. TCP objects also - support socket options and many new options were added. - - -Lots of changes in the Lua modules, too! - -<> Every module loads only the modules that it needs. There is no waste - of memory. LuaSocket core takes only 20k of memory; - -<> New MIME and LTN12 modules make all other modules much more powerful; - -<> Support for multipart messages in the SMTP module; - -<> The old callback mechanism of FTP and HTTP has been replaced with LTN12 - sources and sinks, with advantage; - -<> Common implementation for low-level FTP and SMTP; - -<> FTP, HTTP, and SMTP are implemented in multiple levels in such a way - that users will have no problems extending the functionality to satisfy - personal needs; - -<> SMTP knows how to perform LOGIN and PLAIN authentication. +<> Fixed silly last-minute-change bug in HTTP/SMTP running; +<> usocket.c/wsocket.c look nicer thanks to Mike; +<> Finally total timeout is reliable on Windows! (found a pretty + simple work around); +<> UDP has a reasonable maximum datagram size (8k); +<> Receive accepts the prefix optional argument (good for + non-blocking); +<> Send doesn't support multiple arguments anymore; +<> Instead, send allows the selection of the substring + to be sent (good for non-blocking); +<> Fixed bug that caused select return tables not to be associative + on windows; +<> Should compiles with g++; +<> New sample unix domain support; +<> New sample LPD support; +<> Comprehensive error messages; +<> New getstats and setstats methods to help + throttling; +<> Listen defaults to 32 backlog; +<> SMTP/FTP/HTTP fail gracefully; +<> accept/connect/select interrupt safe +<> Fixed bug that didn't set accepted sockets as non-blocking +<> New timming functions sleep and gettime have + higher resolution and no wrap around problems; +<> Bug fixes in the manual; +<> Fixed bug of missing cast in getfd. diff --git a/TODO b/TODO index 23de9d7..cbc2edb 100644 --- a/TODO +++ b/TODO @@ -1,8 +1,5 @@ +change sendraw to send by chunks -fix manual for send and receive -add thanks to mike - -change sock:send to use indices just like string.sub? use mike's "don't set to blocking before closing unless needed" patch? take a look at DB's smtp patch @@ -32,3 +29,6 @@ testar os options! *add getstats to the manual *Fazer compilar com g++ *test associativity of socket.select +* fix manual for send and receive +* add thanks to mike +* change sock:send to use indices just like string.sub? diff --git a/doc/index.html b/doc/index.html index 8eaa37a..ada3b61 100644 --- a/doc/index.html +++ b/doc/index.html @@ -169,10 +169,11 @@ Changes in the 2.0-beta2 were mostly bug-fixes.
