Raw Blame History

2011-04-22 John Dennis <jdennis@redhat.com> 0.12
* Major new enhancement is additon of PKCS12 support and
AlgorithmID's.
* setup.py build enhancements
- Now searches for the NSS and NSPR header files rather
than hardcoding their location. This makes building friendlier
on other systems (i.e. debian)
- Now takes optional command line arguments, -d or --debug
will turn on debug options during the build.
* Fix reference counting bug in PK11_password_callback() which
contributed to NSS not being able to shutdown due to
resources still in use.
* Add UTF-8 support to ssl.config_server_session_id_cache()
* Added unit tests for cipher, digest, client_server.
* All unittests now run, added test/run_tests to invoke
full test suite.
* Fix bug in test/setup_certs.py, hardcoded full path to
libnssckbi.so was causing failures on 64-bit systems,
just use the libnssckbi.so basename, modutil will find
it on the standard search path.
* doc/examples/cert_dump.py uses new AlgorithmID class to
dump Signature Algorithm

2011-02-21 John Dennis <jdennis@redhat.com> 0.11
External Changes:
-----------------
* Bump version to 0.11
* Add AddrInfo class to support IPv6 address resolution. Supports
iteration over it's set of NetworkAddress objects and provides
hostname, canonical_name object properties.
* Add PR_AI_* constants.
* NetworkAddress constructor and NetworkAddress.set_from_string() added
optional family parameter. This is necessary for utilizing
PR_GetAddrInfoByName().
* NetworkAddress initialized via a string paramter are now initalized via
PR_GetAddrInfoByName using family.
* Add NetworkAddress.address property to return the address sans the
port as a string. NetworkAddress.str() includes the port. For IPv6 the
a hex string must be enclosed in brackets if a port is appended to it,
the bracketed hex address with appended with a port is unappropriate
in some circumstances, hence the new address property to permit either
the address string with a port or without a port.
* Fix the implementation of the NetworkAddress.family property, it was
returning bogus data due to wrong native data size.
* HostEntry objects now support iteration and indexing of their
NetworkAddress members.
* Add io.addr_family_name() function to return string representation of
PR_AF_* constants.
* Modify example and test code to utilize AddrInfo instead of deprecated
NetworkAddress functionality. Add address family command argument to
ssl_example.
* Fix pty import statement in test/setup_certs.py
Deprecated Functionality:
-------------------------
* NetworkAddress initialized via a string paramter is now
deprecated. AddrInfo should be used instead.
* NetworkAddress.set_from_string is now deprecated. AddrInfo should be
used instead.
* NetworkAddress.hostentry is deprecated. It was a bad idea,
NetworkAddress objects can support both IPv4 and IPv6, but a HostEntry
object can only support IPv4. Plus the implementation depdended on
being able to perform a reverse DNS lookup which is not always
possible.
* HostEntry.get_network_addresses() and HostEntry.get_network_address()
are now deprecated. In addition their port parameter is now no longer
respected. HostEntry objects now support iteration and
indexing of their NetworkAddress and that should be used to access
their NetworkAddress objects instead.
Internal Changes:
-----------------
* Utilize PR_NetAddrFamily() access macro instead of explict access.
* Add PRNetAddr_port() utility to hide host vs. network byte order
requirements when accessing the port inside a PRNetAddr and simplify
accessing the IPv4 vs. IPv6 port variants.
* Replace the use of PR_InitializeNetAddr() with PR_SetNetAddr(), the
later properly handles IPv6, the former did not.
* Rename NetworkAddress.addr to NetworkAddress.pr_netaddr for naming
consistency.
* Update HostEntry documentation to indicate it's deprecated status.
* Remove redundant implementation of NetworkAddress_new_from_PRNetAddr
from py_ssl.c and properly import the implementation from
py_nspr_io.c.
* The following other non-IPv6 fixes were also made because they were
discovered while doing the IPv6 work:
* Move definition of TYPE_READY to py_nspr_common.h so it can be
shared. Update all modules to utilize it.
* Replace incorrect use of free() with PyMem_Free for string data
returned by Python's utf-8 encoder.
* Add header dependency information to setup.py so modules will be
rebuilt when header files change.
* Add utility tuple_str() to convert a tuple to a string representation
by calling str() on each object in the tuple. Tuple.str() in CPython
only calls repr() on each member.
* HostEntry objects now store their aliases and NetworkAddress's in
internal tuples.

2010-05-28 John Dennis <jdennis@redhat.com> 0.9
* Correct definciencies in auth_certificate_callback found in several
of the example files and documentation. If you've copied that code
you should merge those changes in.
* Unicode objects now accepted as well as str objects for
interfaces expecting a string.
* Sockets were enhanced thusly:
- Threads will now yield during blocking IO.
- Socket.makefile() reimplemented
file object methods that had been missing (readlines(), sendall(),
and iteration) were implemented, makefile now just returns the same
Socket object but increments an "open" ref count. Thus a Socket
object behaves like a file object and must be closed once for each
makefile() call before it's actually closed.
- Sockets now support the iter protocol
- Add Socket.readlines(), Socket.sendall()

AuthKeyID
