AO Net Types Changelog

ao-net-types-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT

Snapshot Notes

  1. New self-validating type Path.
  2. New DomainName constants:
    1. LOCALHOST
    2. LOCALHOST_LOCALDOMAIN
  3. Bracketed IPv6 addresses […] now supported in parsing and validating both InetAddress and HostAddress.
  4. Improved performance of InetAddress.validate(String) by no longer internally throwing and catching exceptions during parsing.
  5. SCTP also has ports in range 1-65535, like TCP and UDP.
  6. Added SQL implementation in alternate "sql" classifier.

ao-net-types-1.0.0

Release Notes

  • New project for Networking-related value types.
  • Pulled existing network value types out of AOServ Client into this new AO Net Types project.
  • Renamed NetPort to Port.
  • Added full listing of Protocols from iana.org.
  • Added AddressFamily enumeration and InetAddress.getAddressFamily() method. Deprecated InetAddress.isIPv4() and InetAddress.isIPv6().
  • Ports are now a combination of port number and protocol instead of just port number. For example, 143/TCP.
  • PortRanges are a combination of port range and protocol. For example, 8080-8087/TCP.
  • InetAddress improvements:
    1. Fixed bug in IPv4 multicast network mask.
    2. IPv4 addresses are now internally stored in the IPv4-mapped space instead of IPv4-compatibility. This resolves the ambiguity between unspecified IPv6 :: and IPv4 0.0.0.0.
    3. All bit sequences internally represented by constants to aid in code readability and correctness.
    4. Separated isTeredo() from is6to4().
    5. Added missing TEST-NET-2 and TEST-NET-3 in isDocumentation().
    6. Added isGlobalUnicast() to check for Global Unicast addresses.
    7. Internal representation is now two long fields instead of a LongLong object.
    8. IPv4-compatibility addresses are deprecated. They are no longer considered members of various IPv4-mapped network ranges.
  • New AddressType enum corresponding to RFC 4291, Section 2.4. Address Type Identification.
  • New InetAddressPrefix that is a compound type of InetAddress and an associated prefix.
  • New InetAddressPrefixes constants of standard network prefixes.
  • New Protocol.getProtocolByKeyword(String) method to get protocols by their standard keyword.
  • Updated dependencies.
