- Use nullness checks when calling weakly linked functions.
- Avoid typedef for reasons described in Linux Kernel style guide.
- Avoid enum in in Windows headers. Earlier in Cosmo's history all one
hundred files in libc/nt/enum/ used to be enums and it resulted in
gigabytes of DWARF data almost as large as everything else in the
codebase combined.
- Bitfields aren't our friends. They have frequent ABI breakages,
inconsistent arithmetic across compilers, and different endianness
between cpus. Compiler authors also haven't invested much roi into
making bit fields go fast so they produce poor assembly.
- Use memccpy() instead of strncpy() or snprintf() for length-bounded
copying of C strings. strncpy() is a misunderstood function and
snprintf() is awesome but memccpy() deserves more love.
Your redbean can now interoperate with clients that require TLS crypto.
This is accomplished using a protocol polyglot that lets us distinguish
between HTTP and HTTPS regardless of the port number. Certificates will
be generated automatically, if none are supplied by the user. Footprint
increases by only a few hundred kb so redbean in MODY=tiny is now 1.0mb
- Add lseek() polyfills for ZIP executable
- Automatically polyfill /tmp/FOO paths on NT
- Fix readdir() / ftw() / nftw() bugs on Windows
- Introduce -B flag for slower SSL that's stronger
- Remove mbedtls features Cosmopolitan doesn't need
- Have base64 decoder support the uri-safe alternative
- Remove Truncated HMAC because it's forbidden by the IETF
- Add all the mbedtls test suites and make them go 3x faster
- Support opendir() / readdir() / closedir() on ZIP executable
- Use Everest for ECDHE-ECDSA because it's so good it's so good
- Add tinier implementation of sha1 since it's not worth the rom
- Add chi-square monte-carlo mean correlation tests for getrandom()
- Source entropy on Windows from the proper interface everyone uses
We're continuing to outperform NGINX and other servers on raw message
throughput. Using SSL means that instead of 1,000,000 qps you can get
around 300,000 qps. However redbean isn't as fast as NGINX yet at SSL
handshakes, since redbean can do 2,627 per second and NGINX does 4.3k
Right now, the SSL UX story works best if you give your redbean a key
signing key since that can be easily generated by openssl using a one
liner then redbean will do all the things that are impossibly hard to
do like signing ecdsa and rsa certificates that'll work in chrome. We
should integrate the let's encrypt acme protocol in the future.

The getnameinfo implementation requires an address -> name lookup on the
hosts file (ie struct HostsTxt) and the previous implementation used
flags to check whether HostsTxt was sorted according to address or name,
and then re-sorted it if necessary. Now getnameinfo lookup does not
require sorting, it does a simple linear lookup, and so the related code
was simplified
See #172 for discussion.
Added necessary constants (DNS_TYPE_PTR, NI_NUMERICHOST etc.).
Implementation of getnameinfo is similar to getaddrinfo, with internal
functions:
* ResolveDnsReverse: performs rDNS query and parses the PTR record
* ResolveHostsReverse: reads /etc/hosts to map hostname to
address
Earlier, the HOSTS.txt would only need to be sorted at loading time,
because the only kind of lookup was name -> address. Now since address
-> name lookups are also possible, so the HostsTxt struct, the sorting
method (and the related tests) was changed to reflect this.
