All,
I’ve just merged changes which substantially change the API used by the bottom
half TCP code – this won’t affect most of you, but if you had started using NNG
for arbitrary TCP connections, you should be aware that the option handling in
particular has changed, as well as the listen API.
Also, there are now undocumented (so far, I’ll get there shortly) bottom half
transports for IPC and TLS over TCP. You can check out the include files for
them in the master repo at include/supplemental/ipc/ipc.h and
include/supplemental/tls/tls.h
I’m planning to create a public WebSocket API in the same vein as well, and it
will use the same option handling mechanism.
I believe that some of the transports have likely grown additional option
support as a result of these changes. For example, the TLS transport now
supports all the options that the underlying TCP transport offers. WebSocket
has this for pipes as well, although the code to support this for dialers and
listeners is still pending.
I’ll be updating the website with updated documentation as well. Stay tuned
for that.
Note that none of this stuff was in any tagged versioned release, which is part
of why I felt breaking the TCP API in master was acceptable. Please accept my
apologies to any of you that were impacted by this.
Once I’ve cleaned up the last bits I have pending for this (including WebSocket
and docs for TLS, IPC, and WebSocket APIs), I’ll probably tag a 1.2 release.
Thanks!
Garrett
