Support +for older releases has been removed. + +=== Features added + +* Listeners can now be suspended/resumed without stopping existing + connection processes. This effectively closes the listening socket + and stops the acceptor processes. + +* Transport options can now be updated for suspended listeners. + +* The `Socket` argument given when the protocol starts has been + deprecated. In Ranch 2.0 the socket will be obtainable only + by calling `ranch:handshake/1,2`. + +* 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 `socket_opts` value. When there + are only socket options they can be passed to Ranch directly + as a convenience. + +* Any future transport option will only be added to the map + type. This includes transport options added in this release. + +* The transport option `ack_timeout` was renamed to `handshake_timeout` + in the map type. + +* The `cacerts` socket option is now silenced in error logs + just like the `certs` and `key` options. + +* 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. + +=== Experimental features added + +* It is now possible to configure the restart intensity for + `ranch_sup` using the OTP application environment. This + feature will remain undocumented unless there is popular + demand for it. + +* Add the transport option `logger` that allows configuring + which logger module will be used. The logger module must + follow the interface of the new `logger` module in Erlang/OTP 21, + or be set to `error_logger` to keep the old behavior. + +=== Changed behaviors + +* Transport modules must now implement `Transport:handshake/2,3` + which deprecates and will replace `Transport:accept_ack/1` in + Ranch 2.0. It returns a new socket and can therefore be used + for implementing TLS upgrade mechanisms. + +=== New functions + +* The functions `ranch:suspend_listener/1` and `ranch:resume_listener/1` + were added. In addition the function `ranch:get_state/1` can be used + to obtain the running state of a listener. + +* A function `ranch:wait_for_connections/3` was added. + +* A function `ranch:handshake/1,2` was added to replace the + function `ranch:accept_ack/1`. + +=== Bugs fixed + +* The specs for the function `Transport:sendfile/2,4,5` have been + corrected. The type used for the filename was too restricting. |
