                       The Prophecy
                           0.4.6

Advanced Software Production Line is proud to announce a new stable
release of the noPoll toolkit.

noPoll is a OpenSource WebSocket implementation (RFC 6455), written in
ANSI C, that allows building pure WebSocket solutions or to provide
WebSocket support to existing TCP oriented applications.

Commercially supported, noPoll was written to have a clean, easy to
use and integrate library. It is released under the terms of LGPL 2.1
(so you can build OpenSource or commercial applications) and currently
is being heavily used by Vortex Library, Turbulence and Core-Admin to
provide WebSocket support to those projects (some of them using BEEP
over WebSocket).

This release in short
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Stable release with bug fixes and corrections.

Thanks to
~~~~~~~~~

  - Tony Mountifield (reported issues with nopoll_loop_wait
    documentation, provided patch for range fds check before FD_SET,
    provided patches to have different mutexes for conn reference and
    conn handshake, patches to handle errors on recursive calls to
    __nopoll_conn_receive)

  - Morel Bérenger (reported issues with nopoll_conn_new_with_socket
    documentation)

  - Weston Schmidt (provided patches to handle 1005 and 1006 error
    codes).

  - Selvam Krish @selvamKrish (provided initial patches to send PONG
reply with
    same PING application).

  - Ramki A. @cableramki (provided patches for autogen.sh to work with
    glibtoolize).

  - @dspname (provided indications to move nopoll_win32_init after
    nopoll_new on windows).

Changes from previous release
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* [fix] Updated nopoll_loop_wait to report -3 and -4 to indicate
  timeout reached and to indicate I/O wait engine failure. This way,
  caller can catch these codes and implement recovery and any other
  policy. Added documentation to explain how to use this.

  Thanks for Tony Mountifield (reported the problem).

* [fix] Adding some additional documentation to
  nopoll_conn_new_with_socket (with help by Morel Bérenger)

* [fix] Updated nopoll_conn_get_msg to explain that the function do
  not block by default and if it does, is because socket associated is
  not configured to avoid blocking.

* [fix] Range check fds before using for FD_SET or FD_ISSET
(@tony.mountifield)
   Merge pull request #35 from softins/fdset-range-check (by Tony
Mountifield @softins ).

* [fix] Moved call to nopoll_win32_init after nopoll_new (noPollCtx)
  is done.  Closes https://github.com/ASPLes/nopoll/issues/37
  Reported by @dspname

* [fix] Add close status values of 1006 and 1005 (by @weston.smidth).

* [fix] Updated Test21 regression test to include debug information to
  explain how this test is related to client.pem, server.pem and
  root.pem and that there is an script that can be used to refresh
  certificates:

  - ./gen-certificates-test-21.sh

* [fix] Refreshed expired certificates for nopoll's regression test21.

* [fix] Added new mutexes to handle handshake instead of using ref_mutex
so 
  calls to nopoll_conn_ref are possible inside on_ready handler. 
  This also solves other calls to handlers like on_open. This closes 
  https://github.com/ASPLes/nopoll/issues/43   #43 
  Separate handshake_mutex from ref_mutex in noPollConn. Fixes #43

* [fix] Fixes to __nopoll_conn_receive() and nopoll_conn_get_msg() by
   @softins __nopoll_conn_receive(): Check error return on recursive
   call.  Check conn->receive for all negative returns (both -1 and
   -2).  Remove write outside the supplied buffer.
   nopoll_conn_get_msg(): Add string terminator only at end of
   payload.

* [fix] Reworked patch by @selvamKrish reported at PR:
  https://github.com/ASPLes/nopoll/pull/42 to send PONG response to
  PING frame with message content. Updated PR to avoid nopoll_logging
  application data received because it might be binary and can break
  vprintfk causing SEGFAULT and similar problems..
