Motivation:
We did recently change the Channel / ChannelHandler API to always act on the Future only. We should do the same for our handlers.
Modifications:
- Adjust http2 API
- Adjust other handlers API
Result:
Easier to use API and more consistent
Motivation:
The need of cascade from a Future to a Promise exists. We should add some default implementation for it.
Modifications:
- Merge PromiseNotifier into Futures
- Add default cascadeTo(...) methods to Future
- Add tests to FuturesTest
- Replace usage of PromiseNotifier with Future.cascadeTo
- Use combination of map(...) and cascadeTo(...) in *Bootstrap to reduce code duplication
Result:
Provide default implementation of cascadeTo.
Motivation:
The expression "not is success" can mean that either the future failed, or it has not yet completed.
However, many places where such an expression is used is expecting the future to have completed.
Specifically, they are expecting to be able to call `cause()` on the future.
It is both more correct, and semantically clearer, to call `isFailed()` instead of `!isSuccess()`.
Modification:
Change all places that used `!isSuccess()` to mean that the future had failed, to use `isFailed()`.
A few places are relying on `isSuccess()` returning `false` for _incomplete_ futures, and these places have been left unchanged.
Result:
Clearer code, with potentially fewer latent bugs.
* Remove deprecated Channel*Handler* classes
Motivation:
There is no need to keep the older adapter and duplex classes around.
Modifications:
- Remove old adapter and duplex classes
- Adjust javadocs
Result:
Cleanup
* Address nit
Motivation:
We should just add `executor()` to the `ChannelOutboundInvoker` interface and override this method in `Channel` to return `EventLoop`.
Modifications:
- Add `executor()` method to `ChannelOutboundInvoker`
- Let `Channel` override this method and return `EventLoop`.
- Adjust all usages of `eventLoop()`
- Add some default implementations
Result:
API cleanup
Motivation:
At the moment the outbound operations of ChannelHandler take a Promise as argument. This Promise needs to be carried forward to the next handler in the pipeline until it hits the transport. This is API choice has a few quirks which we should aim to remove:
- There is a difference between if you add a FutureListener to the Promise or the Future that is returned by the outbound method in terms of the ordering of execution of the listeners. Sometimes we add the listener to the promise while in reality we usually always want to add it to the future to ensure the listerns are executed in the "correct order".
- It is quite easy to "loose" a promise by forgetting to use the right method which also takes a promise
- We have no idea what EventExecutor is used for the passed in Promise which may invalid our assumption of threading.
While changing the method signature of the outbound operations of the ChannelHandler is a good step forward we should also take care of just remove all the methods from ChannelOutboundInvoker (and its sub-types) that take a Promise and just always use the methods that return a Future only.
Modifications:
- Change the signature of the methods that took a Promise to not take one anymore and just return a Future
- Remove all operations for ChannelOutboundInvoker that take a Promise.
- Adjust all code to cope with the API changes
Result:
Cleaner API which is easier to reason about and easier to use.
Motivation:
Since most futures in Netty are of the `Void` type, methods like `getNow()` and `cause()` cannot distinguish if the future has finished or not.
This can cause data race bugs which, in the case of `Void` futures, can be silent.
Modification:
The methods `getNow()` and `cause()` now throw an `IllegalStateException` if the future has not yet completed.
Most use of these methods are inside listeners, and so are not impacted.
One place in `AbstractBootstrap` was doing a racy read and has been adjusted.
Result:
Data race bugs around `getNow()` and `cause()` are no longer silent.
Motivation:
We should allow server initiated renegotiation when OpenSSL / BoringSSL bases SSLEngine is used as it might be used for client auth.
Modifications:
- Upgrade netty-tcnative version to be able to allow renegotiate once
- Adjust code
Result
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/11529
Motivation:
Make SslHandler's handlerRemoved0 method release the sslEngine
even if it fails in the middle.
See details in https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/11595.
Modifications:
Wrap the release of sslEngine into a finally block.
Result:
The sslEngine would be released eventually.

Motivation:
We tightly integrate the TrustManger and KeyManager into our native SSL implementation which means that both of them need to support TLSv1.3 as protocol. This is not always the case and so can produce runtime exceptions.
As TLSv1.3 support was backported to Java8 quite some time now we should be a bit more conservative and only enable TLSv1.3 for our native implementation if the JDK implementation supports it as well. This also allows us to remove some hacks we had in place to be able to support it before in Java8.
Modifications:
- Only enable TLSv1.3 support for our native SSL implementation when the JDK supports it as well
- Remove OpenSslTlsv13X509ExtendedTrustManager as its not needed anymore
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/11589
Motivation:
The generics for the existing futures, promises, and listeners are too complicated.
This complication comes from the existence of `ChannelPromise` and `ChannelFuture`, which forces listeners to care about the particular _type_ of future being listened on.
Modification:
* Add a `FutureContextListener` which can take a context object as an additional argument. This allows our listeners to have the channel piped through to them, so they don't need to rely on the `ChannelFuture.channel()` method.
* Make the `FutureListener`, along with the `FutureContextListener` sibling, the default listener API, retiring the `GenericFutureListener` since we no longer need to abstract over the type of the future.
* Change all uses of `ChannelPromise` to `Promise<Void>`.
* Change all uses of `ChannelFuture` to `Future<Void>`.
* Change all uses of `GenericFutureListener` to either `FutureListener` or `FutureContextListener` as needed.
* Remove `ChannelFutureListener` and `GenericFutureListener`.
* Introduce a `ChannelFutureListeners` enum to house the constants that previously lived in `ChannelFutureListener`. These constants now implement `FutureContextListener` and take the `Channel` as a context.
* Remove `ChannelPromise` and `ChannelFuture` — all usages now rely on the plain `Future` and `Promise` APIs.
* Add static factory methods to `DefaultPromise` that allow us to create promises that are initialised as successful or failed.
* Remove `CompleteFuture`, `SucceededFuture`, `FailedFuture`, `CompleteChannelFuture`, `SucceededChannelFuture`, and `FailedChannelFuture`.
* Remove `ChannelPromiseNotifier`.
Result:
Cleaner generics and more straight forward code.
Motivation:
At the moment why you try to build a SslContext via SslProvider.OPENSSL* and netty-tcnative* is not on the classpath it will fail with:
```

We should do better here.
Modifications:

Motivation:
Sometimes intellij fails to build because the compiler cant really figure out what to do. We can workaround this by adding some explicit casts.
Modifications:
Add explicits casts
Result:
No more problems with intellij
Motivation:
0c9a86db81 added a change to log a message if someone tried to change the TLSv1.3 ciphers when using BoringSSL. Unfortunally the code had some error and so even if the user did not change these we logged something.
Modifications:
- Ensure there are no duplicates in the ciphers
- Correctly take TLSv1.3 extra ciphers into account when using BoringSSL
Result:
Correctly log or not log
Motivation:
We should keep bitwise operations simple and easy to understand.
Modification:
Simplify few Bitwise operations.
Result:
Less complicated bitwise operation code
Motivation:
Let's have fewer warnings about broken, missing, or abuse of javadoc comments.
Modification:
Added descriptions to throws clauses that were missing them.
Remove link clauses from throws clauses - these are implied.
Turned some javadoc comments into block comments because they were not applied to APIs.
Use code clauses instead of code tags.
Result:
Fewer javadoc crimes.
Motivation:
There are lots of imports which are unused. We should get rid of them to make the code look better,
Modification:
Removed unused imports.
Result:
No unused imports.
Bootstrap methods now return Future<Channel> instead of ChannelFuture
Motivation:
In #8516 it was proposed to at some point remove the specialised ChannelFuture and ChannelPromise.
Or at least make them not extend Future and Promise, respectively.
One pain point encountered in this discussion is the need to get access to the channel object after it has been initialised, but without waiting for the channel registration to propagate through the pipeline.
Modification:
Add a Bootstrap.createUnregistered method, which will return a Channel directly.
All other Bootstrap methods that previously returned ChannelFuture now return Future<Channel>
Result:
It's now possible to obtain an initialised but unregistered channel from a bootstrap, without blocking.
And the other bootstrap methods now only release their channels through the result of their futures, preventing racy access to the channels.
Motivation:
This bug could occasionally cause SSL handshakes to time out, because the server-side handshake would fail to resume its event loop.
Modification:
Async delegate SSL tasks now lower their NEED_TASK status after they have executed, but before they run their completion callback.
This is important because the completion callback could be querying the handshake status.
This could cause the task delegator thread and the event look to race.
If the event look queries the handshake status first, it might think that it still needs to delegate another task.
If this happens, the delegator find a null task, and then fail to resume the event loop, causing the handshake to stall.
Result:
This data race no longer causes handshake timeouts.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we call wrap as long as there is something left to be send to the remote peer in cases of non-application data (like for example alerts).
Modifications:
Check the pending data and based on it return NEED_WRAP even when the handshake was done.
Result:
Always produce alerts etc
Motivation:
Since Java 7, there are new constructors available that allow us to avoid initialising the stack traces of certain exceptions.
Modification:
Use these constructors instead of overriding Throwable.fillInStackTrace.
Result:
Cleaner code
Motivation:
750d235 did introduce a change in ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler that let the handler buffer all inbound data until the SSL handshake was completed. Due of this change a user might get buffer data forever if the SslHandler is not in the pipeline but the ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler was added. We should better guard the user against this "missconfiguration" of the ChannelPipeline.
Modifications:
- Remove the ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler when no SslHandler is present when the first message was received
- Add unit test
Result:
No possible that we buffer forever
Motivation:
We did observe that the mutal auth tests are flaky on windows when running on the CI. Let's disable these for now.
Modifications:
Disable mutual auth tests on windows
Result:
More stable build. Related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/11489
Motivation:
SelfSignedCertificate generates EC/RSA key pair and this should be explicitly mentioned in JavaDoc. Currently, only "RSA" was mentioned not "EC".
Modification:
Changed RSA to EC/RSA
Result:
Correct JavaDoc
Motivation:
As the release of JDK17 is getting closer and there are ea builds already we should ensure we can actually build netty with it.
Modifications:
- Add profile for JDK17
- Remove test-code that would fail with JDK17 due the changes in 4f4d0f5366.
Result:
Be able to build and run testsuite with JDK17
Motivation:
At the moment we not correctly propagate cancellation in some case when we use the PromiseNotifier.
Modifications:
- Add PromiseNotifier static method which takes care of cancellation
- Add unit test
- Deprecate ChannelPromiseNotifier
Result:
Correctly propagate cancellation of operation

Motivation:
JdkOpenSslEngineInteroptTest.testMutualAuthSameCerts() is flaky on the CI and so fails the PR build quite often.
Let's disable it for now until we were able to reproduce it locally and fix it.
Modifications:
Disable flaky test
Result:
More stable CI builds
Motivation:
At the moment we only support signing / decrypting the private key in a synchronous fashion. This is quite limited as we may want to do a network call to do so on a remote system for example.
Modifications:
- Update to latest netty-tcnative which supports running tasks in an asynchronous fashion.
- Add OpenSslAsyncPrivateKeyMethod interface
- Adjust SslHandler to be able to handle asynchronous task execution
- Adjust unit tests to test that asynchronous task execution works in all cases
Result:
Be able to asynchronous do key signing operations
Motivation:
At the moment all methods in `ChannelHandler` declare `throws Exception` as part of their method signature. While this is fine for methods that handle inbound events it is quite confusing for methods that handle outbound events. This comes due the fact that these methods also take a `ChannelPromise` which actually need to be fullfilled to signal back either success or failure. Define `throws...` for these methods is confusing at best. We should just always require the implementation to use the passed in promise to signal back success or failure. Doing so also clears up semantics in general. Due the fact that we can't "forbid" throwing `RuntimeException` we still need to handle this in some way tho. In this case we should just consider it a "bug" and so log it and close the `Channel` in question. The user should never have an exception "escape" their implementation and just use the promise. This also clears up the ownership of the passed in message etc.
As `flush(ChannelHandlerContext)` and `read(ChannelHandlerContext)` don't take a `ChannelPromise` as argument this also means that these methods can never produce an error. This makes kind of sense as these really are just "signals" for the underlying transports to do something. For `RuntimeException` the same rule is used as for other outbound event handling methods, which is logging and closing the `Channel`.
Motifications:
- Remove `throws Exception` from signature
- Adjust code to not throw and just notify the promise directly
- Adjust unit tests
Result:
Much cleaner API and semantics.
Motivation:
We should only run one SSL task per delegation to allow more SSLEngines to make progress in a timely manner
Modifications:
- Only run one task per delegation to the executor
- Only create new SSL task if really needed
- Only schedule if not on the EventExecutor thread
Result:
More fair usage of resources and less allocations
Motivation:
Protocols and Cipher suites constants to prevent typos in protocol and cipher suites names and ease of use.
Modification:
Added Protocols and Cipher suites as constants in their respective classes.
Result:
Fixes#11393
Motivation:
We should call fireUserEventTriggered(...) before we try to modify the pipeline as otherwise we may end up in the situation that the handler was already removed.
Modifications:
Change ordering of calls
Result:
Test pass again
__Motivation__
`ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler` buffers messages which are read before SSL handshake complete event is received and drains them when the handler is removed. However, the channel may be closed (or input shutdown) before SSL handshake event is received in which case we may fire channel read after channel closure (from `handlerRemoved()`).
__Modification__
Intercept `channelInactive()` and input closed event and drain the buffer.
__Result__
If channel is closed before SSL handshake complete event is received, we still maintain the order of message read and channel closure.

Motivation:
Currently, Netty cannot handle HTTP/2 Preface messages if the client used the Prior knowledge technique. In Prior knowledge, the client sends an HTTP/2 preface message immediately after finishing TLS Handshake. But in Netty, when TLS Handshake is finished, ALPNHandler is triggered to configure the pipeline. And between these 2 operations, if an HTTP/2 preface message arrives, it gets dropped.
Modification:
Buffer messages until we are done with the ALPN handling.
Result:
Fixes#11403.

Add support for GMSSL protocol to SslUtils.
__Modification__
Modify `SslUtils.getEncryptedPacketLength(ByteBuf buffer, int offset)` to get packet length when protocol is GMSSL.
Modify `SslUtils.getEncryptedPacketLength(ByteBuffer buffer)` to get packet length when protocol is GMSSL.

`SslUtils.getEncryptedPacketLength` now supports GMSSL protocol. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/11406
__Motivation__
`LoggingHandler` misses a constructor variant that only takes `ByteBufFormat`
__Modification__
Added the missing constructor variant.
__Result__
`LoggingHandler` can be constructed with `ByteBufFormat` only.

Motivation:
We need to ensure we always "consumed" all alerts etc via SSLEngine.wrap(...) before we teardown the engine. Failing to do so may lead to a situation where the remote peer will not be able to see the actual cause of the handshake failure but just see the connection being closed.
Modifications:
Correctly return HandshakeStatus.NEED_WRAP when we need to wrap some data first before we shutdown the engine because of a handshake failure.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/11388
Motivation:
At the moment BoringSSL doesnt support explicit set the TLSv1.3 ciphers that should be used. If TLSv1.3 should be used it just enables all ciphers. We should better log if the user tries to explicit set a specific ciphers and using BoringSSL to inform the user that what is tried doesnt really work.
Modifications:
Log if the user tries to not use all TLSv1.3 ciphers and use BoringSSL
Result:
Easier for the user to understand why always all TLSv1.3 ciphers are enabled when using BoringSSL

Motivation:
This special case implementation of Promise / Future requires the implementations responsible for completing the promise to have knowledge of this class to provide value. It also requires that the implementations are able to provide intermediate status while the work is being done. Even throughout the core of Netty it is not really supported most of the times and so just brings more complexity without real gain.
Let's remove it completely which is better then only support it sometimes.
Modifications:
Remove Progressive* API
Result:
Code cleanup.... Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8519
Motivation:
Sometime in the past we introduced the concept of Void*Promise. As it turned out this was not a good idea at all as basically each handler in the pipeline need to be very careful to correctly handle this. We should better just remove this "optimization".
Modifications:
- Remove Void*Promise and all the related APIs
- Remove tests which were related to Void*Promise
Result:
Less error-prone API
Motivation:
In this issue(https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/11349 ),IpSubnetFilterRule needs to support ipv6 reserved addresses, such as 8000::, but the current implementation does not support
Modification:
Added support for default rule
