| 3 | The big change for the 2.0 (beta3) release was the adoption of the Lua | 3 | There is no big change for the 2.0 (final) release. It is |
| 4 | 5.1 package proposal. There were several bug fixes too (a beta is a | 4 | basically a bug fix release. The main improvement is in the |
| 5 | beta, is a beta). | 5 | non-blocking support. |

| 7 | * New compat-5.1 distribution: | 7 | * New: sample module dispatch.lua implements a coroutine |
| 8 | - Instalation uses new directory structure; | 8 | based dispatcher; |
| 9 | - Namespace hierarchy is in now back in use (ex. socket.url instead of url); | 9 | * New: sample check-links.lua works both in blocking and |
| 10 | - All modules call require even for standard libraries; | 10 | non-blocking mode using coroutines (using the new |
| 11 | * LTN12 avoids coroutines (so you can go wild on the C side); | 11 | dispatcher); |
| 12 | * socket.select wasn't calling tm_markstart; | 12 | * New: sample forward.lua implements a coroutine based |
| 13 | * Kludge on wsocket.c:sock_send for Windows timeout issue moved to | 13 | forward server (using the new dispatcher); |
| 14 | buffer.c:sendraw so it's not a kludge anymore; | 14 | * Improved: tcp:send(data, i, j) to return (i+sent-1). This |
| 15 | * socket.protect only catches errors thrown by socket.try; | 15 | is great for non-blocking I/O, but might break some code; |
| 16 | * Fixed udp:sendto to call sock_sendto instead of sock_send; | 16 | * Improved: HTTP, SMTP, and FTP functions to accept a new |
| 17 | * close wasn't returning 1! | 17 | field create that overrides the function used to create |
| 18 | * socket.gettime returns time since Unix Epoch 1/1/1970 (UTC) | 18 | socket objects; |
| 19 | * socket.sleep is robust to interrupts; | 19 | * Improved: smtp.message now supports multipart/alternative |
| 20 | * http.PROXY wasn't working. | 20 | (for the HTML messages we all love so much); |
| 21 | * fixed some of the examples | 21 | * Fixed: smtp.send was hanging on errors returned by LTN12 |
| 22 | sources; | ||
| 23 | * Fixed: url.absolute() to work when base_url is in parsed | ||
| 24 | form; | ||
| 25 | * Fixed: http.request() not to redirect when the location | ||
| 26 | header is empty (naughty servers...); | ||
| 27 | * Fixed: tcp{client}:shutdown() to check for class instead | ||
| 28 | of group; | ||
| 29 | * Fixed: The manual to stop using socket.try() in place of | ||
| 30 | assert(), since it can't; | ||
| 31 | * Improved: Got rid of package.loaded.base = _G kludge; | ||
| 32 | * Fixed: Parts of the manual referred to require("http") | ||
| 33 | instead of require("socket.http"); | ||
| 34 | * Improved: Socket and MIME binaries are called 'core' each | ||
| 35 | inside their directory (ex. "socket/core.dll"). The 'l' | ||
| 36 | prefix was just a bad idea; | ||
| 37 | * Improved: Using bundles in Mac OS X, instead of dylibs; | ||
| 38 | * Fixed: luasocket.h to export luaopen_socket_core; | ||
| 39 | * Fixed: udp:setpeername() so you can "disconnect" an UDP | ||
| 40 | socket; | ||
| 41 | * Fixed: A weird bug in HTTP support that caused some | ||
| 42 | requests to fail (Florian Berger); | ||
| 43 | * Fixed: Bug in socket.select() that caused sockets with | ||
| 44 | descriptor 0 to be ignored (Renato Maia); | ||
| 45 | * Fixed: "Bug" that caused dns.toip() to crash under uLinux | ||
| 46 | (William Trenker); | ||
| 47 | * Fixed: "Bug" that caused gethostbyname to crash under VMS | ||
| 48 | (Renato Maia); | ||
| 49 | * Fixed: tcp:send("") to return 0 bytes sent (Alexander | ||
| 50 | Marinov); | ||
| 51 | * Improved: socket.DEBUG and socket.VERSION became | ||
| 52 | socket._DEBUGs and socket._VERSION for uniformity with other | ||
| 53 | libraries; | ||
| 54 | * Improved: socket.select now works on empty sets on Windows. | ||
