serf 0.7.0 released
Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce the 0.7.0 release of serf.
Below is a quick summary of changes (since the 0.6.1 release):
Fix double free abort when destroying request buckets.
Fix test server in unit test framework to avoid random test failures.
Allow older Serf programs which don't use the new authn framework to still
handle authn without forcing them to switch to the new framework. (r1401)
Remove the SERF_DECLARE macros, preferring a .DEF file for Windows
Barrier buckets now pass read_iovec to their wrapped bucket.
Fix HTTP header parsing to allow for empty header values.
Download details are at:

SHA1: 868fdb00e679dd84ed888ec77414698365530bae
Enjoy!
Cheers,

When svn 1.6.13 is released, we'll also cut serf over to 0.7.0 so both
are recompiled at the same time.

Ah. Thanks for the info. The macros didn't do anything though (never
got that far), so the declarations/implementations were the default
callspec. Not sure if that matters, and I don't really care :-P ... as
long as Blair is set, then we're good.
Background: serf used a set of DECLARE macros, much like Apache httpd
and APR. But Subversion showed that it was unnecessary since you could
just use a .def file instead of funky magic. And that it was easy to
create that .def as long as your header files were regularized in
their declaration formatting. So 0.7.0 drops the complexity and
switched to a simple .def generation instead. Lesson learned: it
doesn't pay to stick with old, tired idioms.

IIRC replacing the #declspec with a .DEF file will change the ABI for
DLLs on Windows. Shouldn't affect MacPorts or any other Unix-like system
though.

0.6.1 and 0.7.0 are effectively compatible. I think an unused function
was removed, and the unused SERF_DECLARE stuff was removed.
These latest releases are fully incompatible with 0.3.x and earlier
releases, according to the "pre 1.0" caveat of the versioning
guidelines[1].

Subversion 1.6.12 and serf 0.6.1 from Macports doesn't even do any
type of a checkout - it always errors out immediately.
Backing up, there are three faults:
- API/ABI compatibility - this was broken way back in 0.4.0 - no
current 1.6.x release of Subversion can work with anything from serf
0.4.0 or higher. You need the proposed backport to Subversion
(1.6.x-r879757) to make 1.6.x work with the serf 0.4.0+ API.
- Authn framework fix - this is fixed in 0.7.0.
- Memory usage - this is also fixed in 0.7.0.
1.7.x/trunk of Subversion could work with 0.4.0-0.6.1 - this is what
Stefan and others reported the memory leaks - but Subversion has never
officially released a version that works with serf 0.4.0+.

I'm not sure there is any API/ABI changes between 0.6.1 and 0.7.0.

Busted checkouts and operations are better than core dumps :)
Can I get an answer to the question?

Macports is at 0.6.1. IOW, it's already busted now. =( -- justin

Yeah but presumably he's asking because he's linking libsvn_ra_serf to
serf 0.3.x now, so the question remains: is 0.7.0 ABI-compatible with
0.3.x? As far as I know, 0.3 is ABI-compatible with 0.2 and 0.1.

serf 0.3.x now, so the question remains: is 0.7.0 ABI-compatible with
0.3.x? As far as I know, 0.3 is ABI-compatible with 0.2 and 0.1.

Subversion 1.6.12 is busted with serf 0.6.1 anyway. =(
You'd need the next release of Subversion 1.6.x (assuming the pending
backport is approved) to make 1.6.x work in combination with 0.7.0.

Does it change the ABI? Do we need to wait for the next svn 1.6.x release
before we can use it? I'm asking because I maintain the MacPorts serf package
and don't want to break existing installs.

Subversion's redirect tests fail with serf 0.7.0, the client redirects
to
/svn-test-work/repositories/redirect_tests-2
instead of
http://localhost:8888/svn-test-work/repositories/redirect_tests-2
