v0.6.5.RELEASE

This is the 5th release of Reactor Netty 0.6.

This is a recommended update for all Reactor Netty users which fixes a few blockers and some user experience issues.

✨ New features and improvements

• Expose API for configuring SslHandler's closeNotifyFlushTimeoutMillis and closeNotifyReadTimeoutMillis. (b463fc1)
• Netty is updated to version 4.1.15.Final (cee1eb0)

🪲 Bug fixes

v0.6.4.RELEASE

This is the 4th release of Reactor Netty 0.6.

This is a recommended update for all Reactor Netty users which fixes a few blockers and some user experience issues.

v0.6.3.RELEASE

This is the 3rd release of Reactor Netty 0.6.

This is a recommended update for all Reactor Netty users which fixes a few blockers and some user experience issues.

⚠️ Update considerations

• Cancelling/disposing an HttpClientResponse will now close prematurely the connection since there is no deterministic way to release it if it was persistent (default). See #57.
• Immediate failure to write onto a newly acquired persistent connection by HttpClient will result in automatic close/re-acquire.
• Reactor Netty does now depend on the exploded netty dependencies instead of netty-all for better transitive control, see #28.

✨ New features and improvements

• HttpClient now closes on cancel/dispose #57
• HttpClient will now present a 'user-agent' by default (#55)
• HttpClient auto-retries immediately stale connection (96daef2)
• Safely release bytebuf when exceptions are raised up to ChannelOperationHandler (#51)

🪲 Bug fixes

• WebsocketInbound#aggregateFrames() is now properly working (#52)
• Decorate binary message with websocket frames #54
• Proxy resolution now lazily resolve unresolved address #53

👍 Thanks @nebhale @rstoyanchev for the reactive feedbacks

v0.6.1.RELEASE

This is the 2nd release of Reactor Netty 0.6, as part of Aluminium-SR1 Release Train.

This is a recommended update for all Reactor Netty users, in particular regarding client connection pooling which was introduced in the previous 0.6.0.RELEASE.

⚠️ Update considerations

• API might be subject to renaming or polishing during the 0.x phase. Reactor-Netty is already used in production apps but we encourage users to update to the latest and greatest when possible. Library developers using Reactor Netty are encouraged to provide feedback and participate in this great adventure, update as often as possible and enjoy this unique Reactive Streams + Reactor binding to date 👍 . Alternatively, if you want to shield yourself against any change, we recommend Spring 5 webflux including Controller support for our HttpServer and WebClient which encapsulates HttpClient.
• NettyContext#addDecoder has been removed in favor of addHandlerLast

✨ New features and improvements

• Improve Pooling internals and correctly use all the assigned thread resources instead of seemingly 1 thread (#45)
• Add SSL SNI support (#17)
• Provide custom Netty NameResolver in NettyOptions (#7441a3d, #7442f03)
• Add 'dots' support in HttpServer path patterns routes (#31)
• Support WebSocket protocol definition and matching (#20)
• Improve NettyContext safe handler addition via addHandler, addHandlerFirst, addHandlerLast (#42, #46, #47)
  • NettyPipeline defined handlers used by reactor are now prefixed by their logical position in the pipeline : left or right. This allows addHandlerLast to always place itself before the first right handler and addHandlerFirst to place itself after the last left handler. Doing so, user will be always add custom handlers between the boundaries of the reactor encapsulated pipeline.
• Cleaner support for channel close aligned with the underlying protocol. Are included in these connection state improvements: keep-alive, self-defined http message length, virtual half closure for http traffic given last http content received.
• Add default SSL context for HttpClientOptions (#e717dc7)
• Share ChannelOutboundHandler instead of replacing in Pooled Client mode (#e717dc7)
• Do not retain extracted bytebuf via addDecoder and reduce overall ByteBuf.retain and polish ByteBuf.release (#e717dc7)
• Improve some logging path and add extra logging for TRACE level.

🪲 Bug fixes

• Fix proxy and SSL initialization in Pooled Client mode (#e717dc7)
• Fix possible occurrence of mixed pooled connection traffic (#45)
• Use isActive vs isOpen for liveness of channel (#e717dc7)
• Properly bridge inbound errors like WebSocket subprotocol selection failure (#92d06e5)
• Properly bridge connection/ssl error and mute when possible (#e717dc7)
• Fix Premature cancel (main Mono cancellation) on HTTP protocols causing Connection Pool to stall and Non Pooled Connections to eventually fail with a ClosedChannelException (#e717dc7)
• Fix server inbound drain race condition (#e717dc7)
• Fix end delimiter http encoding state issue (#27, #e717dc7)
• Fix default interface stackoverflow in LoopResources (#acafc8c)
• Fix ByteBufFlux#fromPath unwanted byte skipping (#34)
• Fix FullHttpResponse handling in HttpClient when aggregators are in use in pipeline like in a WebSocket upgrade scenario.
