WebSocket++ v0.4.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2014-11-04 // over 9 years ago
    • 💥 BREAKING API CHANGE : All WebSocket++ methods now throw an exception of type
      👻 websocketpp::exception which derives from std::exception. This normalizes
      👻 all exception types under the standard exception hierarchy and allows
      WebSocket++ exceptions to be caught in the same statement as others. The error
      👻 code that was previously thrown is wrapped in the exception object and can be
      👻 accessed via the websocketpp::exception::code() method.
    • 💥 BREAKING API CHANGE : Custom logging policies have some new required
      constructors that take generic config settings rather than pointers to
      🌲 std::ostreams. This allows writing logging policies that do not involve the
      🌲 use of std::ostream. This does not affect anyone using the built in logging
      policies.
    • 💥 BREAKING UTILITY CHANGE : websocketpp::lib::net::htonll and
      🛠 websocketpp::lib::net::ntohll have been prefixed with an underscore to avoid
      conflicts with similarly named macros in some operating systems. If you are
      using the WebSocket++ provided 64 bit host/network byte order functions you
      🛠 will need to switch to the prefixed versions.
    • 💥 BREAKING UTILITY CHANGE : The signature of base64_encode has changed from
      websocketpp::base64_encode(unsigned char const *, unsigned int) to
      websocketpp::base64_encode(unsigned char const *, size_t).
    • 💥 BREAKING UTILITY CHANGE : The signature of sha1::calc has changed from
      websocketpp::sha1::calc(void const *, int, unsigned char *) to
      websocketpp::sha1::calc(void const *, size_t, unsigned char *)
    • 🔋 Feature : Adds incomplete minimal_server and minimal_client configs that
      🏗 can be used to build custom configs without pulling in the dependencies of
      core or core_client. These configs will offer a stable base config to
      future-proof custom configs.
    • 👌 Improvement : Core library no longer has std::iostream as a dependency.
      🌲 std::iostream is still required for the optional iostream logging policy and
      iostream transport.
    • 🐛 Bug : C++11 Chrono support was being incorrectly detected by the boost_config
      header. Thank you Max Dmitrichenko for reporting and a patch.
    • 🐛 Bug : use of std::put_time is now guarded by a unique flag rather than a
      chrono library flag. Thank you Max Dmitrichenko for reporting.
    • 🐛 Bug : Fixes non-thread safe use of std::localtime. #347 #383
    • Compatibility : Adjust usage of std::min to be more compatible with systems
      that define a min(...) macro.
    • Compatibility : Removes unused parameters from all library, test, and example
      code. This assists with those developing with -Werror and -Wunused-parameter
      #376
    • Compatibility : Renames ntohll and htonll methods to avoid conflicts with
      platform specific macros. #358 #381, #382 Thank you logotype, unphased,
      svendjo
    • Cleanup : Removes unused functions, fixes variable shadow warnings, normalizes
      ✅ all whitespace in library, examples, and tests to 4 spaces. #376
