The changes are straightforward and it should only take a few minutes to fix your code. - TODO. +See the NEWS file for functions that have been renamed or replaced by +alternatives that are used in the same way (but may have extra +arguments with suitable default values or similar). The rest of this +document lists significant changes only. +There have been many macros provided now for fixed constants, you may +consider using them (but the old hard-coded values will continue to +work where applicable). Particularly noteworthy is ASSUAN_INVALID_PID +and all flags values. + +Use of libgpg-error is mandatory. + +assuan_pipe_connect child fds are now of assuan_fd_t type, not of int +type. Use assuan_fd_from_posix_fd() for conversion. If you use +assuan_pipe_connect with NAME of NULL, you have to provide a non-NULL +ARGV argument and check that against "server" or "client" to determine +which end you got after fork(). + +assuan_init_pipe_server closes the provided fds after terminating the +connection now. Use assuan_fdopen to duplicate them first. + +If you use the assuan sock interface, you must call assuan_sock_init after +setting global context defaults. + +Pth support has changed. This now follows the same style as libgcrypt +by setting system hook callbacks. |
