LibSoup is an open source HTTP server and client library for the GNOME desktop environment.
The LibSoup library uses the glib main loop and GObjects to integrate with most GNOME apps.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Lots of docs fixes, including catching up with some (but not all!) of the API additions and deprecations, and a new chapter with hints on porting from SoupSessionAsync/SoupSessionSync to the new-and-improved plain SoupSession.
· The plain SoupSession type now supports soup_session_queue_message() (with SoupSessionAsync semantics) and soup_session_send_message() (with SoupSessionSync semantics), and there are now soup_session_new() and soup_session_new_with_options().
· The mirroring of the SoupMessage API onto SoupRequestHTTP, added in 2.41.3, has been reverted. However, new APIs soup_session_send() and soup_session_send_async() have been added that let you use the GInputStream-based API with SoupMessages rather than SoupRequest, so if you're doing HTTP-specific stuff, you can just use that instead.
· soup_message_get_https_status() now returns the certificate and flags for unsuccessful https connections as well as successful ones. [#690176]
· Fixed a deadlock when calling soup_session_abort() on a SoupSessionSync in some cases. [#691399]
· Internal SoupCache rewrites/improvements [#682112, Sergio]
· Plugged a memory leak in SoupCache [#690382, Sudarsana Nagineni] and one in SoupAuthDigest [#690142]
· LIBSOUP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED has been renamed to SOUP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, but that's just to keep gtk-doc happy, and you shouldn't use it. You should use SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED instead.
· Fixed the samba-windbind-based NTLM support, which appears to have been broken before.
· SoupAuthManager is now a public class (so you can remove it as a feature from a session, or disable it for a particular message). It also has a new method soup_auto_manager_use_auth(), which can be used to "preload" authentication for a host so that libsoup will use authentication on the very first request.
· SoupURI now treats "http://user@example.com" as having a password of "" rather than NULL, since a NULL password would not be valid for any known HTTP auth type.
· build: libsoup now uses autoreconf instead of gnome-autogen.sh, and no longer uses AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT [Javier Jardon].
