This is mostly a bugfix release.
This version created by taking patches from the current development branch and back-porting them on top of version 0.9.76.
The most notable changes are: some improvements for Digest and Basic authorizations, fixed efficiency for TLS upgraded connections, fixed processing of folded headers in requests, fixed functionality with blocking sockets, improved and fixed internal test-suite.

The more detailed list of the important changes:

API changes:

  • Added new function MHD_get_version_bin().

Improvements and enhancements:

  • Digest Auth: changed algorithm identifiers in server generated headers from md5 / sha-256 to MD5 / SHA-256 to better match RFC (while clients should use caseless matching).
  • Improved Base64 decoding by new implementation with robust input data validation checks.
  • Improved configure for cross-compiling, for better compatibility with POSIX and for better compatibility with the latest compiler versions.
  • New internal tests: for Base64 decoding, Basic Auth and folded headers.
  • Supported new libcurl API in tests to mute deprecation warnings.
  • Supported ARM and ARM64 for VC compilers.

Functionality changes:

  • any negative number returned by response data generation callback function is treated as an error. Previously negative values except predefined error codes could produce undefined behaviour.
  • Added handling of DEBUG preprocessor macro as an alias of _DEBUG.

Fixes:

  • Fixed functionality with blocking sockets.
  • Fixed very inefficient data pumping for upgraded TLS connections.
  • Fixed processing of folded headers in the requests.
  • Fixed data races when closing upgraded connection.
  • Removed duplication of "Connection: upgrade" header.
  • Digest auth: fixed thread sync to avoid "stale hash" results.
  • Fixed harmless unwanted extra data processing resulting in triggering of the assert.
  • Fixed tests for LTO.
  • Removed removed non-portable functions in examples.
  • Fixed delayed call of connection notification callback in thread-per-connection mode.
  • Fixed Address Sanitizer unpoison of memory when memory pool is destroyed. This fixed periodic ASAN error when used for a long time with the sanitizer.
  • Fixed compiler warnings in library code, examples, tests and configure checks.
  • New TLS certificates for test-suite: all with SAN fields and SHA-256 hash.
  • Tests: fixed tests on Darwin 22.x (Ventura).
  • Tests: redesigned one tests group to avoid stress-testing of the OS.
