@node Upgrading from previous versions
@appendix Upgrading from previous versions
@cindex upgrading
The GnuTLS library typically maintains binary and source code compatibility
across versions. The releases that have the major version increased
break binary compatibility but source compatibility is provided.
This section lists exceptional cases where changes to existing code are
required due to library changes.
@heading Upgrading to 2.12.x from previous versions
GnuTLS 2.12.x is binary compatible with previous versions but changes the
semantics of @funcintref{gnutls_transport_set_lowat}, which might cause breakage
in applications that relied on its default value be 1. Two fixes
are proposed:
@itemize
@item Quick fix. Explicitly call @code{gnutls_transport_set_lowat (session, 1);}
after @funcref{gnutls_init}.
@item Long term fix. Because later versions of gnutls abolish the functionality
of using the system call @funcintref{select} to check for gnutls pending data, the
function @funcref{gnutls_record_check_pending} has to be used to achieve the same
functionality as described in @ref{Asynchronous operation}.
@end itemize
@heading Upgrading to 3.0.x from 2.12.x
GnuTLS 3.0.x is source compatible with previous versions except for the functions
listed below.
@multitable @columnfractions .30 .60
@headitem Old function @tab Replacement
@item @funcintref{gnutls_transport_set_lowat} @tab
To replace its functionality the function @funcref{gnutls_record_check_pending} has to be used,
as described in @ref{Asynchronous operation}
@item @funcintref{gnutls_session_get_server_random},
@funcintref{gnutls_session_get_client_random}
@tab
They are replaced by the safer function @funcref{gnutls_session_get_random}
@item @funcintref{gnutls_session_get_master_secret}
@tab Replaced by the keying material exporters discussed in @ref{Deriving keys for other applications/protocols}
@item @funcintref{gnutls_transport_set_global_errno}
@tab Replaced by using the system's errno fascility or @funcref{gnutls_transport_set_errno}.
@item @funcintref{gnutls_x509_privkey_verify_data}
@tab Replaced by @funcref{gnutls_pubkey_verify_data}.
@item @funcintref{gnutls_certificate_verify_peers}
@tab Replaced by @funcref{gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2}.
@item @funcintref{gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key}
@tab Removed. The key derivation function was never standardized.
@item @funcintref{gnutls_session_set_finished_function}
@tab Removed.
@item @funcintref{gnutls_ext_register}
@tab Removed. Extension registration API is now internal to allow easier changes in the API.
@item @funcintref{gnutls_certificate_get_x509_crls}, @funcintref{gnutls_certificate_get_x509_cas}
@tab Removed to allow updating the internal structures. Replaced by @funcref{gnutls_certificate_get_issuer}.
@item @funcintref{gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_keyring}
@tab Removed.
@item @funcintref{gnutls_ia_*}
@tab Removed. The inner application extensions were completely removed (they failed to be standardized).
@end multitable
@heading Upgrading to 3.1.x from 3.0.x
GnuTLS 3.1.x is source and binary compatible with GnuTLS 3.0.x releases. Few
functions have been deprecated and are listed below.
@multitable @columnfractions .30 .60
@headitem Old function @tab Replacement
@item @funcintref{gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash}
@tab The function @funcref{gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash2} is provided and
is functionally equivalent and safer to use.
@item @funcintref{gnutls_pubkey_verify_data}
@tab The function @funcref{gnutls_pubkey_verify_data2} is provided and
is functionally equivalent and safer to use.
@end multitable
@heading Upgrading to 3.2.x from 3.1.x
GnuTLS 3.2.x is source and binary compatible with GnuTLS 3.1.x releases. Few
functions have been deprecated and are listed below.
@multitable @columnfractions .30 .60
@headitem Old function @tab Replacement
@item @funcintref{gnutls_privkey_sign_raw_data}
@tab The function @funcref{gnutls_privkey_sign_hash} is equivalent
when the flag @code{GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_SIGN_FLAG_TLS1_RSA} is specified.
