<h1 class="lined-header"><span>Migrating from Ranch 1.5 to 1.6</span></h1>

<p>Ranch 1.6 added the ability to suspend and resume listeners. It also deprecates a number of features and add interfaces that will be used in Ranch 2.0.</p>
<p>Ranch 1.6 is compatible with Erlang/OTP 18.0 onward. Support for older releases has been removed.</p>
<h2 id="_features_added">Features added</h2>
<ul><li>Listeners can now be suspended/resumed without stopping existing connection processes. This effectively closes the listening socket and stops the acceptor processes.
</li>
<li>Transport options can now be updated for suspended listeners.
</li>
<li>The <code>Socket</code> argument given when the protocol starts has been deprecated. In Ranch 2.0 the socket will be obtainable only by calling <code>ranch:handshake/1,2</code>.
</li>
<li>Ranch-specific transport options and socket options are now better separated. When passing Ranch-specific transport options, Ranch now expects to receive a map, in which case socket options are passed in the <code>socket_opts</code> value. When there are only socket options they can be passed to Ranch directly as a convenience.
</li>
<li>Any future transport option will only be added to the map type. This includes transport options added in this release.
</li>
<li>The transport option <code>ack_timeout</code> was renamed to <code>handshake_timeout</code> in the map type.
</li>
<li>The <code>cacerts</code> socket option is now silenced in error logs just like the <code>certs</code> and <code>key</code> options.
</li>
<li>The manual has been heavily updated and now features one manual page per function and module, complete with a per-function changelog, examples and more.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="_experimental_features_added">Experimental features added</h2>
<ul><li>It is now possible to configure the restart intensity for <code>ranch_sup</code> using the OTP application environment. This feature will remain undocumented unless there is popular demand for it.
</li>
<li>Add the transport option <code>logger</code> that allows configuring which logger module will be used. The logger module must follow the interface of the new <code>logger</code> module in Erlang/OTP 21, or be set to <code>error_logger</code> to keep the old behavior.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="_changed_behaviors">Changed behaviors</h2>
<ul><li>Transport modules must now implement <code>Transport:handshake/2,3</code> which deprecates and will replace <code>Transport:accept_ack/1</code> in Ranch 2.0. It returns a new socket and can therefore be used for implementing TLS upgrade mechanisms.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="_new_functions">New functions</h2>
<ul><li>The functions <code>ranch:suspend_listener/1</code> and <code>ranch:resume_listener/1</code> were added. In addition the function <code>ranch:get_state/1</code> can be used to obtain the running state of a listener.
</li>
<li>A function <code>ranch:wait_for_connections/3</code> was added.
</li>
<li>A function <code>ranch:handshake/1,2</code> was added to replace the function <code>ranch:accept_ack/1</code>.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="_bugs_fixed">Bugs fixed</h2>
<ul><li>The specs for the function <code>Transport:sendfile/2,4,5</code> have been corrected. The type used for the filename was too restricting.
</li>
</ul>
