Hi,
Prompted by Evgeny's suggestion to move forward with releasing Subversion
1.15.0[1], I'd like to suggest getting a new minor release of Serf out of
the door as well - preferrably first!
There are a few features in Subversion that depend on recent development in
Serf (for example the error reporting) and it would be nice to have it
released together.
Brane has made a summary in Jira, see SERF-208[2], open points copied below:
* Generalized error callbacks, discussed in [3]. From what I can see we
have an error callback mechanism that works for SSL errors. There is also
code in Subversion to support this. We need to decide if [a] We are happy
with the current situation, or [b] Can someone step up to improve it.
Personally, I'm leaning towards [a].
* Issue SERF-195, which is a substantial rewrite of the request queues. The
code is in a separate branch SERF-195. The code looks good to me but I
haven't analyzed in detail. It should be possible to merge to trunk.
* Issue SERF-209, concerning intermitent test suite failures under MacOS. I
would suggest to leave this aside for later.
Can we get these decided/merged and roll a release? I think it would be
good to do this in trunk before branching.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Everything mentioned in SERF-208 is now resolved. In addition to that:
* I went through all the test failures with LibreSSL. They were all
just differences in the way errors are reported from the library, so
I adjusted the expected test output.
* I finally found the reason why some OCSP SSL tests failed on Fedora
and derivatives; the test code was creating a SHA-1 signature on
OCSP responses, but the OpenSSL shipped with Fedora forbids the use
of SHA-1 in this context. I fixed this by using SHA-256 in the test
code.
With the above two changes, I built and successfully tested trunk on:
ARM64 Windows; aarch64 Linux (Debian 12 and Fedora 43); aarch64
(Free|Open|Net)BSD; and emulated x86-64 Haiku, just for the thrill of it.
I think we're ready to release, pending API review.
