core: Various improvements and the beginnings of some unit tests

2013-08-30T00:11:00+00:00

This is not ready to be merged to master yet; the tests are
incomplete and don’t pass yet. It’s only pushed here for
exposition.

core: Use gcr instead of libgnome-keyring for secure memory

2012-07-17T20:17:48+00:00

* libgnome-keyring will be deprecated in the future

core: Ensure passwords and auth. tokens are stored in non-pageable memory

2011-10-11T15:40:21+00:00

If we're compiled with --enable-gnome, we now allocate passwords and auth.
tokens in non-pageable memory where possible. Where not possible (due to API
constraints imposed by ourselves or libsoup) we ensure that the details are
zeroed out before being freed.

This is all with the aim of never having passwords or auth. tokens hit disk
or be leaked in other ways.

It hasn't been formally reviewed or certified, and there are probably cases
I've missed (which are bugs).

This adds an optional dependency on libgnome-keyring when compiled with
--enable-gnome.

core: Filter sensitive details out of debug log output

2011-10-10T08:38:19+00:00

Add a new log level, GDATA_LOG_FULL_UNREDACTED = 4, and redact usernames,
passwords and auth. tokens from all log levels below it. Thus, taking a
debug log with LIBGDATA_DEBUG=3 will no longer inadvertently reveal the
user's password.

Helps: bgo#656783

build: Add a LIBGDATA_DISABLE_DEPRECATED build flag

2011-10-09T21:09:30+00:00

This only affects installed header files, to make it easier for clients to
ensure they're not using deprecated libgdata API. (If, for some reason,
G_GNUC_DEPRECATED_FOR doesn't cut it for them.)

It doesn't affect the compilation of libgdata.

docs: Fix a typo in README

core: Add an OAuth 1.0 authoriser

2011-06-05T15:50:02+00:00

This adds a GDataAuthorizer implementation for OAuth 1.0, the current
favourite authentication/authorization protocol in Google-land.

This includes full documentation and a test suite.

This makes the following API changes:
 • Add GDataOAuth1Authorizer and all its properties and methods.

It also adds a dependency on liboauth ≥ 0.9.4.

Bug 644940 — Use HTTPS only

2011-03-22T13:10:55+00:00

Use HTTPS for all communications with the server, removing the
LIBGDATA_FORCE_HTTP environment variable. Closes: bgo#644940
