WebSocket++ v0.6.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-06-02 // almost 9 years ago
    • MINOR BREAKING TRANSPORT POLICY CHANGE : Custom transport policies will now be
      required to include a new method void set_uri(uri_ptr u). An implementation
      is not required. The stub transport policy includes an example stub method
      that can be added to any existing custom transport policy to fulfill this
      requirement. This does not affect anyone using the bundled transports or
      configs.
    • MINOR BREAKING SOCKET POLICY CHANGE : Custom asio transport socket policies
      will now be required to include a new method void set_uri(uri_ptr u). Like
      with the transport layer, an implementation is not required. This does not
      affect anyone using the bundled socket policies.
    • MINOR BREAKING DEPENDENCY CHANGE : When using Boost versions greater than or
      equal to 1.49 in C++03 mode, libboost-chrono is needed now instead of
      libboost-date_time. Users with C++11 compilers or using Boost versions 1.48
      ✅ and earlier are not affected. Note: This change affects the bundled unit test
      suite.
    • 🔋 Feature : WebSocket++ Asio transport policy can now be used with the standalone
      🔖 version of Asio (1.8.0+) when a C++11 compiler and standard library are
      present. This means that it is possible now to use WebSocket++'s Asio
      transport entirely without Boost. Thank you Robert Seiler for proof of concept
      🛠 code that was used as a guide for this implementation. Fixes #324
    • 🔋 Feature : Adds a vectored/scatter-gather write handler to the iostream
      transport.
    • 🔋 Feature : Adds the ability to defer sending an HTTP response until sometime
      after the http_handler is run. This allows processing of long running http
      🖐 handlers to defer their response until it is ready without blocking the
      network thread. references #425
    • 👌 Improvement : echo_server_tls has been update to demonstrate how to configure
      🔒 it for Mozilla's recommended intermediate and modern TLS security profiles.
    • 👌 Improvement : endpoint::set_timer now uses a steady clock provided by
      boost::chrono or std::chrono where available instead of the non-monotonic
      🛠 system clock. Thank you breyed for reporting. fixes #241
    • 👌 Improvement : Outgoing TLS connections to servers using the SNI extension to
      choose a certificate will now work. Thank you moozzyk for reporting.
      🛠 Fixes #400
    • 👌 Improvement : Removes an unnecessary mutex lock in get_con_from_hdl.
    • Cleanup : Asio transport policy has been refactored to remove many Boost
      dependencies. On C++03 compilers the boost::noncopyable dependency has been
      ✂ removed and the boost::date_time dependency has been replaced with the newer
      boost::chrono when possible. On C++11 compilers the boost::aligned_storage
      and boost::date_time dependencies are gone, replaced with equivalent C++11
      standard library features.
    • 🐛 Bug : Fixes a potential dangling pointer and inconsistent error message
      👻 handling in websocketpp::exception. #432 Thank you Tom Swirly for the fix.
