* All functionality of stranded_stream is folded into basic_stream
* tcp_stream is an alias for basic_stream with tcp
* The tests are expanded to produce full coverage
* Timeout implementation is simplified
* is_completion_handler is deprecated
* type_traits.hpp is a deprecated include
These items will be removed in the next version
* Include the new header file for the types needed:
- stream_traits.hpp
- file_base.hpp
* Use std::is_invocable instead of is_completion_handler
This algorithm allows a socket-like object to be closed in
a generic context. The customization point enables user-defined
types to define the close algorithm to use with `close_socket`.
fix#1417
* New get_lowest_layer free function works for any object
* New lowest_layer_type trait works for any object
* New examples and documentation on layered streams
API Changes:
* The member function lowest_layer is removed from all
types provided by the library:
Actions Required:
* Call the free function get_lowest_layer instead of
member lowest_layer.
The nested function lowest_layer and nested type lowest_layer_type
are removed from all stream layers.
Actions Required:
* Remove lowest_layer and lowest_layer_type from user-defined streams.
* Use the get_lowest_layer free function and the lowest_layer_type trait
as needed.
This I/O object wraps an ordinary socket and provides a built-in
timeout and optional bandwidth rate-limiting facility.
Added class template basic_stream_socket
* Meets the requirements of AsyncReadStream and AsyncWriteStream
* Partially supports P1322R0:
"Networking TS enhancement to enable custom I/O executors"
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2018/p1322r0.html
A strand or other io_context-compatible executor may be
chosen to use for all asynchronous stream operations.
* Supports independent timeouts on logical operations:
connect, read, write, or both read and write.
* Provides an option for a configurable rate limit
limit on the maximum rates of reading or writing.
* The previous experimental implementation,
`timeout_socket` and related types, is removed.
* stream_socket is an alias for basic_stream_socket which
uses `net::ip::tcp` as its protocol.
* The function buffers is deprecated, use the new
function make_printable as the replacement.
Actions Required:
* Replace call sites to use make_printable instead of buffers,
and also include make_printable.hpp instead of ostream.hpp.
* Tidy up tests
* Increase code coverage
* Remove move special members
* Correct behavior for default constructed iterators
API Changes:
* buffers_adaptor is renamed (was buffers_adapter)
Actions Required:
* Replace buffers_adapter.hpp with buffers_adaptor.hpp, and
replace buffers_adapter with buffers_adaptor. Or, define
BOOST_BEAST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED
This works similarly to bind_handler, and can help with reducing
template instantiations and compiler memory usage (since it does
not need to support placeholders).
A specialization for the most common case `void(error_code, size_t)`
is provided to minimize instantiation cost.
This resolves a medium vulnerability described in the
Beast Hybrid Assessment Report by Bishop Fox, where masks generated
for use with outgoing WebSocket client frames use an insufficient
source of entropy and a non-cryptographically secure pseudo-random
number generator.
By default, all newly constructed WebSocket streams will use a
uniquely seeded secure PRNG (ChaCha20 in counter mode). As this may
result in increased CPU resource consumption, the function
websocket::stream::secure_prng() may be used to select a faster but
less secure PRNG, for the case where the caller knows that the secure
generator is not necessary.
On some systems, std::random_device may produce insufficient entropy
to securely seed the PRNG. As this condition cannot be detected by
Beast, callers may use the function websocket::seed_prng() called
once at startup to provide at least 256 bits of entropy which will
be used to uniquely seed all subsequent PRNGs.
The ssl_stream wrapper provides C++11 move semantics for ssl::stream,
as well as incorporating the flat_stream workaround for a performance
problem with ssl::stream writes and buffer sequences having length
greater than one.
fix#949
* New error codes are introduced for WebSocket failures
* More verbose messages for error codes
* Error codes are mapped to conditions for ease of testing
* error::failed and error::handshake_failed are deprecated (don't use)
Actions Required:
* Code which explicitly compares error_code values against the
constant `websocket::error::handshake_failed` should compare
against `websocket::condition::handshake_failed` instead.
* Code which explicitly compares error_code values against the
constant `websocket::error::failed` should compare
against `websocket::condition::protocol_violation` instead.
Body::reader and Body::writer meanings are reversed, for
consistency with the names of the stream operations:
* Body::reader is used for read, read_some, async_read, async_read_some
* Body::writer is used for write, write_some, async_write, async_write_some
Actions Required:
* Swap the reader and writer names for user defined Body types
* Swap use of is_body_reader and is_body_writer
* Fields::writer replaces Fields::reader
* The FieldsWriter concept is renamed from FieldsReader
Actions Required:
* Rename reader to writer for user defined Fields
fix#769
The following classes are removed:
* handler_type
* async_result
* async_completion
* is_dynamic_buffer
* is_const_buffer_sequence
* is_mutable_buffer_sequence
* handler_alloc
Actions Required:
* Use BOOST_ASIO_HANDLER_TYPE instead of handler_type
* Use BOOST_ASIO_INITFN_RESULT_TYPE instead of async_result
* Use boost::asio::async_completion
* Use boost::asio::is_dynamic_buffer
* Use boost::asio::is_const_buffer_sequence
* Use boost::asio::is_mutable_buffer_sequence
* boost::asio::associated_allocator_t replaces handler_alloc
fix#773
* buffer_cat is renamed to buffers_cat
* buffer_cat_view is renamed to buffers_cat_view
Actions Required:
* Use buffers_cat instead of buffer_cat
* Use buffers_cat_view instead of buffer_cat_view
fix#773
* buffer_prefix is renamed to buffers_prefix
* buffer_prefix_view is renamed to buffers_prefix_view
Actions Required:
* Use buffers_prefix instead of buffer_prefix
* Use buffers_prefix_view instead of buffer_prefix_view
* teardown_tag is replaced with teardown_role, a client/server
flag used to determine whether the shutdown is performed
before or after reading the EOF. This is in accordance with
RFC6455 7.1.1:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-7.1.1
Actions Required:
* Modify signatures of teardown and async_teardown to use
teardown_role instead of teardown_tag
* Change calls to teardown and async_teardown to pass the
correct role: client or server depending on context.
