[section Release Notes]
[heading Boost 1.67]
This version fixes significant defects in
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__stream `websocket::stream`]
which can lead to asserts or undefined behavior. Users are encouraged
to update to the latest Boost release.
[*New Features]
* Move-only completion handlers are supported throughout the library
* [issue 899] Advanced server examples support idle websocket pings and timeouts
* [issue 849] WebSocket permessage-deflate support is now a compile-time
feature. This adds an additional `bool` template parameter to
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__stream `websocket::stream`]
When `deflateSupported` is `true`, the stream will be capable of
negotiating the permessage-deflate websocket extension per the
configured run-time settings.
When `deflateSupported` is `false`, the stream will never negotiate
the permessage-deflate websocket extension. Furthermore, all of the
code necessary for implementing the permessage-deflate extension
will be excluded from function instantiations. Programs which set
`deflateSupported` to `false` when instantiating streams will be smaller.
* [issue 949] WebSocket error codes are revised. New
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__error error codes]
are added for more fine-grained failure outcomes. Messages for error
codes are more verbose to help pinpoint the problem. Error codes are
now also mapped to newly added
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__condition error conditions]
to simplify comparisons. The error codes `websocket::error::failed`
and `websocket::error::handshake_failed` are removed.
Actions required:
Code which explicitly compares `error_code` values against
the constant `websocket::error::handshake_failed` should compare
against
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__condition `websocket::condition::handshake_failed`]
instead.
Code which explicitly compares error_code values against the
constant `websocket::error::failed` should compare
against
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__condition `websocket::condition::protocol_violation`]
instead.
[*Improvements]
* [issue 857]
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__basic_fields `http::basic_fields`]
uses less storage
* [issue 894]
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__basic_fields `http::basic_fields`]
exception specifiers are provided
* Implementation no longer uses deprecated `asio::null_buffers`
* Add [include_file boost/beast/websocket/stream_fwd.hpp]
* [issue 955] The asynchronous SSL detector example uses a stackless coroutine
* [link beast.ref.boost__beast__bind_handler `bind_handler`]
works with boost placeholders
[*Fixes]
* Fix "warning: const type qualifier on return type has no effect"
* [issue 916] Tidy up `ssl_stream` special members in
[source_file example/common/ssl_stream.hpp]
* [issue 918] Calls to `<algorithm>` are protected from macros
* [issue 954] The control callback is invoked on the proper executor
* [issue 994] Fix iterator version of
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__basic_fields.erase.overload1 `http::basic_fields::erase`]
* [issue 992] Fix use-after-move in example request handlers
* [issue 988] Type check completion handlers
* [issue 985] Tidy up
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__bind_handler `bind_handler`]
doc
* Fix memory leak in advanced server examples
* [issue 1000] Fix soft-mutex assert in websocket stream.
This resolves the assert `"ws_.wr_block_ == tok_"`.
* [issue 1019] Fix fallthrough warnings
[*API Changes]
* [issue 1029] Remove unintended public members of
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__handler_ptr `handler_ptr`].
Actions required: don't call non-public members.
* [link beast.ref.boost__beast__handler_ptr `handler_ptr`]
is a move-only type, with `unique_ptr` semantics.
Actions required: user-defined composed operations using `handler_ptr`
to manage state can only be moved, not copied.
* [link beast.ref.boost__beast__handler_ptr `handler_ptr`]
gives the strong exception guarantee. The signature
for managed objects constructed by `handler_ptr` now receives a
`const` reference to the handler. Actions required: Change the
constructor signature for state objects used with `handler_ptr`
to receive a `const` reference to the handler.
* [issue 896]
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__basic_fields `http::basic_fields`]
does not support fancy pointers
* [link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__parser `http::parser`]
is no longer [*MoveConstructible]
* [issue 930] `http::serializer::reader_impl` is deprecated and will
be removed in the next release. Actions required: Call
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__serializer.writer_impl `http::serializer::writer_impl`]
instead of `serializer::reader_impl`.
* [issue 884] The __BodyReader__ and __BodyWriter__ concept constructor
requirements have changed. They now require the header and body
elements to be passed as distinct
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__http__header `http::header`]
and `value_type` objects. This enables the composition of body types.
The previous single-argument constructors are deprecated and will be
removed in the next version.
Actions required: Change user-defined instances of __BodyReader__ or
__BodyWriter__ constructor signatures to the two-argument form.
Alternatively. define the macro `BOOST_BEAST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED` in
the project (which will cause both the new and the deprecated
signatures to be accepted).
* [link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__stream.control_callback `websocket::stream::control_callback`]
now copies or moves the function object.
