Changes for version 0.01 - 2026-10-04
- Initial release of a standalone, event-loop and operating-system neutral HTTP/2 protocol engine.
- Use Uniform::HTTP 0.04 Request and Response objects directly.
- Provide byte-in/byte-out Client and Server engines with multiplexed Stream objects and no socket, TLS, or event-loop ownership.
- Use a small private XS binding to libnghttp2 through Alien::nghttp2.
- Support buffered and streaming request and response bodies, cooperative backpressure, trailers, informational responses, and half-close state.
- Support ordinary CONNECT and generic Extended CONNECT.
- Support SETTINGS inspection and updates, PING, GOAWAY, graceful draining, stream resets, standard HTTP/2 error codes, and preserved reset details.
- Support application-controlled receive flow control while keeping connection-level credit independent from slow streams.
- Support RFC 9218 extensible priorities and deliberately omit the deprecated RFC 7540 dependency-tree priority API.
- Advertise SETTINGS_ENABLE_PUSH = 0; Server Push is not exposed.
- Preserve fatal session errors, invalid-frame observations, unknown extension-frame safety, and GOAWAY details for higher-layer policy.
- Add in-memory protocol tests, packaged-distribution distcheck/disttest, and bidirectional interoperability tests against stock nghttp2 tools.
- Test Perl 5.16 on Linux, current Perl on Linux and macOS, and Strawberry Perl on Windows.
