- SslHandler always begins handshake unless startTls is true
- Removed issueHandshake property
- If a user wants to start handshake later, he/she has to add
SslHandler later.
- Removed enableRenegotiation property
- JDK upgrade fixes the security vulnerability - no need to complicate
our code
- Some property name changes
- getSSLEngineInboundCloseFuture() -> sslCloseFuture()
- Updated securechat example
- Added timeout for handshake and close_notify for better security
- However, it's currently hard-coded. Will make it a property later.
- LoggingHandler now only logs state and operations
- StreamLoggingHandler and MessageLoggingHandler log the buffer content
- Added ChannelOperationHandlerAdapter
- Used by WriteTimeoutHandler
- Extracted some handler methods from ChannelInboundHandler into
ChannelStateHandler
- Extracted some handler methods from ChannelOutboundHandler into
ChannelOperationHandler
- Moved exceptionCaught and userEventTriggered are now in
ChannelHandler
- Channel(Inbound|Outbound)HandlerContext is merged into
ChannelHandlerContext
- ChannelHandlerContext adds direct access methods for inboud and
outbound buffers
- The use of ChannelBufferHolder is minimal now.
- Before: inbound().byteBuffer()
- After: inboundByteBuffer()
- Simpler and better performance
- Bypass buffer types were removed because it just does not work at all
with the thread model.
- All handlers that uses a bypass buffer are broken. Will fix soon.
- CombinedHandlerAdapter does not make sense anymore either because
there are four handler interfaces to consider and often the two
handlers will implement the same handler interface such as
ChannelStateHandler. Thinking of better ways to provide this feature
- Removed ones are: IP filer and HTTP multipart codec
- Needs closer code review and polishing
- Sorry. I'll add them back in the next alpha releases
- SSL handler and ChunkedWriteHandler also need more work, but
I really want to make them part of the first alpha because they
are used pretty often by users.
... just like we do with byte arrays. toByteBuffer() and
toByteBuffers() had an indeterministic behavior and thus it could not
tell when the returned NIO buffer is shared or not. nioBuffer() always
returns a view buffer of the Netty buffer. The only case where
hasNioBuffer() returns false and nioBuffer() fails is the
CompositeChannelBuffer, which is not very commonly used and *slow*.
- Add EventExecutor and make EventLoop extend it
- Add SingleThreadEventExecutor and MultithreadEventExecutor
- Add EventExecutor's default implementation
- Fixed an API design problem where there is no way to get non-bypass
buffer of desired type
- The default behavior is now to close the channel on timeout. A user
can override this behavior, but I would just use IdleStateHandler or
use eventLoop's timer facility directly for finer control.
- Add ChannelHandlerContext.eventLoop() for convenience
- Bootstrap and ServerBootstrap handles channel initialization failure
better
- More strict checks for missing @Sharable annotation
- A handler without @Sharable annotation cannot be added more than
once now.
- Previous API did not support the pipeline which contains multiple
MessageToStreamEncoders because there was no way to find the closest
outbound byte buffer. Now you always get the correct buffer even if
the handler that provides the buffer is placed distantly.
For example:
Channel -> MsgAEncoder -> MsgBEncoder -> MsgCEncoder
Msg(A|B|C)Encoder will all have access to the channel's outbound
byte buffer. Previously, it was simply impossible.
- Improved ChannelBufferHolder.toString()
- Replaced FrameDecoder and OneToOne(Encoder|Decoder) with:
- (Stream|Message)To(String|Message)(Encoder|Decoder)
- Moved the classes in 'codec.frame' up to 'codec'
- Fixed some bugs found while running unit tests
