This is the first non-bugfix release since version 0.9.75 and the first ever stable release of GNU libmicrohttpd. It is a huge one with new features and fixes.

The major changes:

  • Rewritten parsing of clients' requests, fully aligned with current RFCs (9110 and 9112) requirements. Added detailed control of strict or lenient specification enforcement. Application may choose between more compatible mode or more strict and secure mode.
  • Reworked Digest Auth, greater enhanced support for current RFC 7617 features. MHD currently is the only known server-side implementation with support for SHA-512/256, userhash and username in extended notation. At the same time the very old RFC2069 is supported, as well as MD5 and SHA-256.
  • Improved functionality in multi-threading environment, especially with external sockets polling modes.
  • Reworked Basic Auth, adding new convenient API functions.
  • Re-implemented GnuTLS initialisation. Now supported libmicrohttpd-specific system-wide configuration, as well as generic GnuTLS system-wide configuration. Application may adjust settings based on system configuration instead of specifying its own full configuration.
  • Tons of other new functionality and various fixes. For detailed changes see the ChangeLog or Git commit logs.

Since last non-bugfix release there are 1062 commits added with 67007 lines insertions and 26616 deletions.
