Changelog for C-Core SDK

Fixed

Fixed memory leak when calling pubnub_free on an initialized PubNub object.
Fixed socket leak when calling pubnub_free on a PubNub object with an open connection.
Fixed socket leak when publishing using a context with use_http_keep_alive = 0.
Fixed crash due to double-free when calling pubnub_free after pbpal_handle_socket_condition encounters a socket error.

Modified

Use recursive semaphore for mutex lock and unlock in pbpal_mutex.h.

Fixed	Fix issue because of which it was impossible for sync PubNub context version to cancel operation awaited in secondary thread.
Modified	Fix the code for which the compiler emitted warnings during the build for `mbedTLS` and `ESP_PLATFORM=1`.

Added	Add functions which allow to enable and disable 'smart heartbeat' behavior for automatic heartbeat: `pubnub_enable_smart_heartbeat` and `pubnub_disable_smart_heartbeat`. Add `pubnub_last_publish_timetoken` function to retrieve recently published message high precision timetoken.
Fixed	Fix issue which caused deadlock on secondary thread and as result heartbeat stop. Fix signature of `pbntf_init_callback` and its usage in Windows dedicated code.

Fixed

Fixed wrong string copy if multiple channels(groups) are provided for pubnub_set_state. Note that using memcpy instead of strncpy is used intentionally because of the ESP support.
Fixed crash when double comma is provided to pubnub_set_state as a channels(groups).
Fixed wrong check if the reallocation is required in pubnub_set_state.
Removed additional allocation of memory for temporary data.
Changed the amount of bytes allocated based on the provided parameters instead of hardcoded values.

Fixed

Fix pubnub_reconnect and pubnub_disconnect not to print an error when called within incorrect subscription state. Warning will be printed instead and function won't execute further.

Fixed

Fix crashes that could sometimes happen during unsubscribe due to calling strlen on null pointers.
Fix pubnub_fetch_history function when used with crypto api. Change PUBNUB_MAX_URL_PARAMS to 12.
Fix the issue that was causing memory fragmentation fault at the moment of the next automated heartbeat call.

Added

Add PUBNUB_NTF_RUNTIME_SELECTION flag that allows to select API type at runtime.
Introduce void* parameter for user data in listeners to let callbacks keep context on demand.

Fixed

Fix the issue that there was an assertion when using App Context functions with limit set to 100.

Added	Add the ability to set `timetoken` (for message catchup) in `pubnub_subscribe_v2_options` which is used with `pubnub_subscribe_v2`.
Fixed	Fix issue which was source of segmentation fault when tried to access memory after it has been freed.

Fixed	Remove the `user_id` length restriction for dynamically allocated memory for it.
Modified	Configure `try_compile` when building a static library.

Added	Additional flags for C/CPP can be set with: `USER_C_FLAGS` / `USER_CXX_FLAGS`.
Fixed	Fix because of which one of the source files has been missed for Windows. Fix issue with unsupported concatenation of sources files / definitions (`+=`).
Modified	Refactor our `Makefiles` from different folders and platforms to use `include` directives to include shared definitions, flags, source files.

Added	Add custom message type support for the following APIs: publish, signal, share file, subscribe and history. Add `pubnub_set_ipv4_connectivity` and `pubnub_set_ipv6_connectivity` to `pubnub_coreapi` to switch preferred connectivity protocol.
Fixed	Make sure that in case of connection close (including because of error) proxy context object will be reset.

Fixed	Fix CMakeLists to build correctly on Windows.
Modified	Prepare CMakeLists to support builds for Arm64 architecture.

Modified

Dynamically allocate memory for uuid in pubnub_set_uuid function.

Fixed

Properly handle DNS retries and stale HTTP Kept-Alive connections

Fixed

Fix assertion failure while retrying timed out DNS queries with multiple contexts

Modified

Add support for automatic sending of heartbeat messages with sync interface (POSIX and Windows)

Modified

Add support for automatic sending of heartbeat messages on Windows, callback.

Modified

Support automatic sending of heartbeat messages (only on POSIX, callback, for now).

Fixed

Fix Qt

Modified	Introduce Actions API Add 'include_meta' parameter to pubnub_history_ex()
Fixed	Fix stopwatch not working after 25 days

Fixed

Restore get/set connection timeout in C++ wrapper

Modified	Retry if DNS server does not respond. Number of retries is a compile-time parameter.
Fixed	In C++, fix transaction finishing before user starts to wait for it to finish.

Modified	Introduce Objects API
Fixed	Fix high history (extended/full) handling of 'reverse' and other boolean parameters

Modified	Introduce separate connection timer, to control/limit the duration of DNS resolving and connection establishment, which should be much shorter than full transaction timer, which has to be >5 min for subscribe
Fixed	Fix high CPU load in callback interface when no context, thus socket, is executing a transaction

Modified

Detect TCP/IP connect timeout in callback mode w/sockets - does not seem to work on Windows
Add set_proxy_none() to pubnub::context

Fixed

Proxy admin functions (set, get) were not protected by mutex/monitor, so caused a race condition
Setting new proxy might have been ignored until the resolved DNS addresses of the previous proxy expire.
If all resolved addresses on file expire, we would report transaction failure instead of just asking for new ones.

Modified

Improvements in sockets and DNS error reporting

Modified

Introduce Signals support
Support subscribe V2 in C++ & Qt
Add pubnub_stop() for graceful shutdown when using callback interface

Modified

Introduce minimal transaction timer duration
Use QTime for transaction timer duration

Use TTL from DNS response (cache resolved addresses)
Better identification of the platform we run on
Detect authenticating proxy that works incorrectly

Modified

Will try other address from (async) DNS response if first one fails
Will try secondary (async) DNS server if primary doesn't work

Modified

Update pubnub_allooc_std.c to pubnub_cancel() changes

Modified

Support Message Counts API

Modified

Support IPv6 for DNS resolution (mostly for callback interface)

Fixed

URL encode channel name(s)

Modified	Update samples to changes in pubnub_cancel() and other interface changes Update samples to use time() instead of clock() as clock() can measure CPU-only time instead of real time Update Qt functional tests and make them reliable UUID is now part of the Pubnub context (instead of a pointer to it). This makes handling its lifetime easier, yet does not incur much memory increase
Fixed	C++ wrapper and Qt did not have proper multithreading support as they did not protect _their_ data. Now that is fixed.

Fixed

Fix memory leak regarding OpenSSL

Modified	Publish can now be GZIPed (if done via POST)
Fixed	Publish via POST encrypted could publish garbage and fail

Modified	Publish can now be done via POST
Fixed	Several smaller DNS en/de/coding issues fixed

Modified

pubnub_await() in the sync interface now reports PNR_TIMEOUT on, well, (transaction) timeout

Fixed

DNS en/de/coding could fail on some toolchains because of alignment issues.

Fixed

TLS connection timeout was prone to errors due to time synchronisation and such.

Fixed

Fix wrong detection of PNR_TIMEOUT, by reset of TLS connect timer when connection is established.

Fixed

Fix DNS decoding

Added

Add support for pubnub_subscribe_v2() w/filter expressions
pubnub_cancel() returns is it done, or it just started the cancellation
Code that is only for TLS/SSL ifdef-ed out when not building w/TLS/SSL
Functional tests for C++ updated and now run on each commit

Fixed	Improved handling of lost connection while in HTTP Keep-Alive
Added	pubnub_free() now implies pubnub_cancel() pubnub_cancel() will now call pbnc_fsm() in the sync interface. Combined with previous, this makes it possible to call pubnub_free() in sync interface and have it succeed even if transaction is ongoing.

Added

Removed (unused) option to ignore TLS/SSL errors

Added	Support HTTPS CONNECT proxy Can set proxy via IP address and `localhost` Adhere to Connection: close from server Functional tests improved, can run concurrently
Fixed	Possible pointer out of bounds fixed in JSON parser MacOS build fixed

Added

Support OpenSSL 1.1.x with callback interface
Add support for filter expressions on subscribe
Enable receiving GZIP-ed reply

Added

Enable setting HTTP Keep-Alive use on/off for C++ and Qt

Added	Enable reading system DNS on Windows
Fixed	Small fixes in system DNS reading/parsing

Added	Callback interface uses (our own) async DNS Enable sending meta data when publishing Enable setting `norep` (do not replicate) when publishing (with `store=false`, publish becomes "fire") On MacOS, use SO_NOSIGPIPE to avoid SIGPIPE on the socket
Fixed	Small fixes for async DNS Bad handling of new transaction started in the callback and HTTP keep-alive was active Bad handling of error (connection lost) when starting a new transaction on a HTTP kept-alive connection

Added	On Linux, use MSG_NOSIGNAL to avoid SIGPIPE on send() Add API to read proxy configuration Send up-to-date version info in User-Agent HTTP header
Fixed	Avoid (currently harmless) inconsistent locking order Fix HTTP GET & CONNECT proxy w/HTTP Keep-Alive

Fixed

Unify default blocking I/O setting to block in sync and non-block in callback interface

Fixed

Read from OpenSSL in a loop, to handle more than one record received at a time
Fix minor race condition on timer expiry

Added

Use HTTP Keep-alive, where possible

Fixed

Fix removing the first context from the timer list
