Motivation:
Build warning message is shown when building netty project. Due to missing paxexam version below[1] warning message is shown when building netty project.
Modifications:
Added paxexam plugin version into root pom
Result:
paxexam related warning will not be displayed when building the project.
[1]. #4909
Motivation:
Depending on the actual CertificateException we should set the correct alert type so it will be sent back to the remote peer and so make it easier for them to fix it.
Modification:
Correctly set the alert and not always just use a general alert.
Result:
It's easier for the remote peer to fix the problems.
Motivation:
netty-tcnative-1.1.33.Fork was released, we should upgrade. Also we should skip renegotiate tests if boringssl is used because boringssl does not support renegotiation.
Modifications:
- Upgrade to netty-tcnative-1.1.33.Fork13
- Skip renegotiate tests if boringssl is used.
Result:
Use newest version of netty-tcnative and be able to build if boringssl is used.
Motivation:
ResourceLeakDetector enforces a limit as to how large the queue is allowed to grow for stack traces in order to keep memory from growing too large. However it is not always clear when records are dropped, or how many have been dropped. This can make interpreting leak reports more difficult if you assume all information is present when it may not be. Also we should increase the limit (currently 4) when running tests on the CI servers.
Modifications:
- Increase leak detector record limit on CI servers from 4 to 32.
- Track how many records have been discarded and disclose this in the leak report.
Result:
Leak reports clarify how many records were dropped, and how to increase the limit.
Motivation:
We had reports of failures before when sun.misc.Unsafe was not present. We should run our tests also with it disable to ensure everything works even if sun.misc.Unsafe is not present on the system.
Modifications:
Add a new profile which allows to run tests without Unsafe (using -PnoUnsafe)
Result:
Better testing of netty for systems where sun.misc.Unsafe is not present.
Motivation:
Builds fail with java 1.8.0_72 because jetty-alpn-boot has absorbed new code from openjdk and older version are now incompatible.
Modifications:
- Updated jetty-alpn-agent version
Result:
We can now build/develop using java 1.8.0_72
Motivation:
When using SslProvider.OPENSSL we currently not handle SNI on the client side.
Modifications:
Correctly enable SNI when using clientMode and peerHost != null.
Result:
SNI works even with SslProvider.OPENSSL.
Motivation:
As we now can easily build static linked versions of tcnative it makes sense to run our netty build against all of them.
This helps to ensure our code works with libressl, openssl and boringssl.
Modifications:
Allow to specify -Dtcnative.artifactId= and -Dtcnative.version=
Result:
Easy to run netty build against different tcnative flavors.
Motivation:
Attempts to enable SSL protocols which are currently disabled fail when using the OpenSslEngine. Related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4736
Modifications:
Clear out all options that have disabled SSL protocols before attempting to enable any SSL protocol.
Result:
setEnabledProtocols works as expected.
Motivation:
Netty was missing support for Protobuf nano runtime targeted at
weaker systems such as Android devices.
Modifications:
Added ProtobufDecoderNano and ProtobufDecoderNano
in order to provide support for Nano runtime.
modified ProtobufVarint32FrameDecoder and
ProtobufLengthFieldPrepender in order to remove any
on either Nano or Lite runtime by copying the code
for handling Protobuf varint32 in from Protobuf
library.
modified Licenses and NOTICE in order to reflect the
changes i made.
added Protobuf Nano runtime as optional dependency
Result:
Netty now supports Protobuf Nano runtime.
Motivation:
Parent pom.xml uses deprecated maven expressions, such as `${groupId}`
which should be ${project.groupId}.
This causes tons of warnings on every module in the build.
Modifications:
Use up to date syntax.
Result:
No more maven warnings.
Motivation:
We had to add a new profile for each OpenJDK/OracleJDK release to make
Maven choose the correct alpn-boot.jar and npn-boot.jar. As a result,
our pom.xml has a large number of `<profile/>` sections.
Modifications:
- Use jetty-alpn-agent, which chooses the correct alpn-boot.jar and
npn-boot.jar automatically to remove all the nasty profile sections
from pom.xml
- Visit https://github.com/trustin/jetty-alpn-agent for more info
Result:
Cleaner pom.xml
Motivation:
UTF-16 can not represent the full range of Unicode characters, and thus has the concept of Surrogate Pair (http://unicode.org/glossary/#surrogate_pair) where 2 16-bit code units can be used to represent the missing characters. ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8 is currently does not support this and is thus incomplete.
Modifications:
- Add support for surrogate pairs in ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8
Result:
ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8 now supports surrogate pairs and is correctly converting to UTF-8.
Motivation:
PriorityStreamByteDistributor uses a homegrown algorithm which distributes bytes to nodes in the priority tree. PriorityStreamByteDistributor has no concept of goodput which may result in poor utilization of network resources. PriorityStreamByteDistributor also has performance issues related to the tree traversal approach and number of nodes that must be visited. There also exists some more proven algorithms from the resource scheduling domain which PriorityStreamByteDistributor does not employ.
Modifications:
- Introduce a new ByteDistributor which uses elements from weighted fair queue schedulers
Result:
StreamByteDistributor which is sensitive to priority and uses a more familiar distribution concept.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4462
Motiviation:
According to jetty docs the alpn-api should use the provided scope.
Modificaitons:
- change scope to provided for alpn-api
- update for new jdk
Result:
Users of Netty don't run into alpn version conflicts.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4480
Motivation:
6.7 is the latest stable release in RHEL/CentOS 6 line. Given that most
RHEL/CentOS users have upgraded to 6.7 via yum upgrade, we should bump
our requirement.
Modification:
s/6.6/6.7/g
Result:
'mvn release:*' must be run on RHEL/CentOS 6.7 instead of 6.6.
Motivation:
The twitter hpack project does not have the support that it used to have. See discussion here: https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4403.
Modifications:
Created a new module in Netty and copied the latest from twitter hpack master.
Result:
Netty no longer depends on twitter hpack.
Motivation:
A new version of ALPN boot has been released.
Modifications:
- Update the pom to pull in this new version
Result:
New JDK get new ALPN boot.
Motivation:
The SSLSession allows to invalidate a SSLSession and so disallow resume of a session. We should support this for OpenSSLEngine as well.
Modifications:
- Correctly implement SSLSession.isValid() and invalidate() in OpenSSLEngine
- Add unit test.
Result:
Invalidate of SSL sessions is supported when using OpenSSL now.
Motivation:
As relaying on external DNS Server can result to test-failures we should better use a mock DNS Server for the dns tests.
Modifications:
- Refactor the DnsNameResolverTest to use a mock DNS Server which is using apacheds.
- Allow to disable adding an opt resources as some servers not support it.
Result:
More stable testsuite.
Motivation:
JDK SslEngine supports renegotion, so we should at least support it server-side with OpenSslEngine as well.
That said OpenSsl does not support sending messages asynchronly while the renegotiation is still in progress, so the application need to ensure there are not writes going on while the renegotiation takes place. See also https://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1019 .
Modifications:
- Add support for renegotiation when OpenSslEngine is used in server mode
- Add unit tests.
- Upgrade to netty-tcnative 1.1.33.Fork9
Result:
Better compatibility with the JDK SSLEngine implementation.
Motivation:
A new version of netty-tcnative was released with some important bug-fixes.
Modifications:
Bump up version.
Result:
Using latest netty-tcnative version
Motivation:
The last os-maven-plugin had a bug that sometimes missed to correctly detect fedora based linux.
Modifications:
Upgrade to 1.4.1
Result:
Correctly detect on all fedora based linux.
Motivation:
The latest netty-tcnative fixes a bug in determining the version of the runtime openssl lib. It also publishes an artificact with the classifier linux-<arch>-fedora for fedora-based systems.
Modifications:
Modified the build files to use the "-fedora" classifier when appropriate for tcnative. Care is taken, however, to not change the classifier for the native epoll transport.
Result:
Netty is updated the the new shiny netty-tcnative.
Motivation:
https://github.com/twitter/hpack released version v1.0.1.
Modifications:
- Update pom files to pull in new version
Results:
Depend on the most recent hpack library.
Motivation:
The alpn / npn dependency versions are dependent on java version. If a java version 1.8+ is used that is not explicitly listed in the pom file then ALPN tests will fail because the java 1.7 version of alpn will be loaded by out pom file.
Modifications:
- Ensure there is a latest version to fall back up for npn 1.7+
- Ensure there is a latest version to fall back upon from alpn 1.8+
Result:
Build can complete despite having a newer jdk which is not listed in our pom file.
Related: #3886
Motivation:
We were including OSGi manifests in sources/javadoc JARs, and OSGi
container treats them as correct dependencies when resolving from OBR
repository, which is incorrect. Runtime fails with non-descriptive
ClassNotFoundException as a result.
Modifications:
- Do not include the OSGi manifests in sources/javadoc JARs
- Include Eclipse-related manifest entries in sources/javadoc JARs
Result:
Better OSGi compatibility
Motivation:
New versions of alpn-boot and npn-boot have been released.
Modifications:
- Update pom to pull in new versions.
Result:
Dependencies more up to date.
Motivation:
Sometimes the user already has a PrivateKey / X509Certificate which should be used to create a new SslContext. At the moment we only allow to construct it via Files.
Modifications:
- Add new methods to the SslContextBuilder to allow creating a SslContext from PrivateKey / X509Certificate
- Mark all public constructors of *SslContext as @Deprecated, the user should use SslContextBuilder
- Update tests to us SslContextBuilder.
Result:
Creating of SslContext is possible with PrivateKay/X509Certificate
Motivation:
We used ERR_get_error() to detect errors and missed to handle different errors. Also we missed to clear the error queue for a thread before invoke SSL operations,
this could lead to detecting errors on different OpenSslEngines then the one in which the error actual happened.
Modifications:
Explicit handle errors via SSL.get_error and clear the error code before SSL operations.
Result:
Correctly handle errors and no false-positives in different OpenSslEngines then the one which detected an error.
Motivation:
When a faulty never-ending test keeps producing a lot of garbage doing
nothing but generating CPU load, our CI fails to detect the stalled
build, because it determines the 'inactivity time' from console
activity and GC keeps producing console output.
Modifications:
Remove the -verbose:gc flag from pom.xml
Result:
Stalled builds are terminated by our CI server.
Motivation:
Discussion is in https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-alpn/issues/8. The new API allows protocol negotiation to properly throw SSLHandshakeException.
Modifications:
Updated the parent pom.xml with the new version.
Result:
Upgraded alpn-api now allows throwing SSLHandshakeException.
Motivation:
At the moment hostname verification is not supported with OpenSSLEngine.
Modifications:
- Allow to create OpenSslEngine with peerHost and peerPort informations.
- Respect endPointIdentificationAlgorithm and algorithmConstraints when set and get SSLParamaters.
Result:
hostname verification is supported now.
Motivation:
New versions of compression libraries, which improve their performance and fix some bugs.
Modifications:
Updated versions of jzlib, compress-lzf, lz4 and commons-compres libraries.
Result:
Better stability and performance of compression codecs.
