Fixed

• fix SaFlags_t definition on redox (#2751)
• Fixed EpollEvent::events() to use from_bits_retain instead of from_bits().unwrap(), preventing panics when the kernel returns unknown epoll flags. (#2783)
• Fixed KEvent::flags() and KEvent::fflags() to use from_bits_retain instead of from_bits().unwrap(), preventing panics when the kernel returns unknown kqueue flags. (#2784)

chore: Release nix version 0.31.2

Added

• Add WatchDescriptor::as_raw, to get libc id of WatchDescriptor. (#2718)
• Added process::pthread_getthreadid_np() on FreeBSD. (#2725)

Fixed

• The libc requirement is now 0.2.181, rather than pinned to 0.2.180. (#2744)

chore: Release nix version 0.31.1

Added

• termios: Add definition for IUCLC to supported platforms (#2702)
• termios: Add definition for XCASE for supported platforms (#2703)

chore: Release nix version 0.31.0

Added

  • ControlMessageOwned::UdpGroSegments

  (#2666)

• Define errno EWOULDBLOCK as an alias of EAGAIN to match the AIX libc definition. (#2692)

Changed

• changed EpollEvent methods to be const (#2656)

• Fix the build on Illumos (#2694)

Removed

• Removed Eq and PartialEq implementations from SigHandler, because they never worked reliably. The suggested alternative is matches!. For example:

  let h: SigHandler = ...
  if matches!(h, SigHandler::SigIgn) {
      ...
  }

• Changed gethostname to return an owned OsString. (#1745)

• signal:SigSet is now marked as repr(transparent). (#1741)

Removed

• Removed support for resubmitting partially complete lio_listio operations. It was too complicated, and didn't fit Nix's theme of zero-cost abstractions. Instead, it can be reimplemented downstream. (#1713)

[0.24.2] - 2022-07-17

Fixed

• Fixed buffer overflow in nix::sys::socket::recvfrom. (#1763)
• Enabled SockaddrStorage::{as_link_addr, as_link_addr_mut} for Linux-like operating systems. (#1729)

• Added Ipv6DontFrag for android, iOS, linux and macOS.
• Added IpDontFrag for iOS, macOS. (#1692)

Changed

• mqueue functions now operate on a distinct type, nix::mqueue::MqdT. Accessors take this type by reference, not by value. (#1639)
• Removed SigSet::extend in favor of <SigSet as Extend<Signal>>::extend. Because of this change, you now need use std::iter::Extend to call extend on a SigSet. (#1553)
• Removed the the PATH_MAX restriction from APIs accepting paths. Paths will now be allocated on the heap if they are too long. In addition, large instruction count improvements (~30x) were made to path handling. (#1656)
• Changed getrlimit and setrlimit to use rlim_t directly instead of Option<rlim_t>. (#1668)
• Deprecated InetAddr and SockAddr in favor of SockaddrIn, SockaddrIn6, and SockaddrStorage. (#1684)

• Replaced IoVec with IoSlice and IoSliceMut, and replaced IoVec::from_slice with IoSlice::new. (#1643)

Fixed

• InetAddr::from_std now sets the sin_len/sin6_len fields on the BSDs. (#1642)
• Fixed a panic in LinkAddr::addr. That function now returns an Option. (#1675) (#1677)

Removed

• Removed public access to the inner fields of NetlinkAddr, AlgAddr, SysControlAddr, LinkAddr, and VsockAddr. (#1614)
• Removed EventFlag::EV_SYSFLAG. (#1635)

[0.23.1] - 2021-12-16

Changed

• Relaxed the bitflags requirement from 1.3.1 to 1.1. This partially reverts #1492. From now on, the MSRV is not guaranteed to work with all versions of all dependencies, just with some version of all dependencies. (#1607)

Fixed

• Fixed soundness issues in FdSet::insert, FdSet::remove, and FdSet::contains involving file descriptors outside of the range 0..FD_SETSIZE. (#1575)

[0.23.0] - 2021-09-28

Added

• Added the LocalPeerCred sockopt. (#1482)
• Added TimeSpec::from_duration and TimeSpec::from_timespec (#1465)
• Added IPV6_V6ONLY sockopt. (#1470)
• Added impl From<User> for libc::passwd trait implementation to convert a User into a libc::passwd. Consumes the User struct to give ownership over the member pointers. (#1471)
• Added pthread_kill. (#1472)

• Added read/write accessors for 'events' on PollFd. (#1517)

Changed

• FdSet::{contains, highest, fds} no longer require a mutable reference. (#1464)
• User::gecos and corresponding libc::passwd::pw_gecos are supported on 64-bit Android, change conditional compilation to include the field in 64-bit Android builds (#1471)
• eventfds are supported on Android, change conditional compilation to include sys::eventfd::eventfd and sys::eventfd::EfdFlagsfor Android builds. (#1481)
• Most enums that come from C, for example Errno, are now marked as #[non_exhaustive]. (#1474)
• Many more functions, mostly contructors, are now const. (#1476) (#1492)
• sys::event::KEvent::filter now returns a Result instead of being infalliable. The only cases where it will now return an error are cases where it previously would've had undefined behavior. (#1484)
• Minimum supported Rust version is now 1.46.0. (#1492)
• Rework UnixAddr to encapsulate internals better in order to fix soundness issues. No longer allows creating a UnixAddr from a raw sockaddr_un. (#1496)
• Raised bitflags to 1.3.0 and the MSRV to 1.46.0. (#1492)

Fixed

• posix_fadvise now returns errors in the conventional way, rather than as a non-zero value in Ok(). (#1538)
• Added more errno definitions for better backwards compatibility with Nix 0.21.0. (#1467)
• Fixed potential undefined behavior in Signal::try_from on some platforms. (#1484)
• Fixed buffer overflow in unistd::getgrouplist. (#1545)

Removed

• Removed a couple of termios constants on redox that were never actually supported. (#1483)
• Removed nix::sys::signal::NSIG. It was of dubious utility, and not correct for all platforms. (#1484)
• Removed support for 32-bit Apple targets, since they've been dropped by both Rustc and Xcode. (#1492)
• Deprecated SockAddr/InetAddr::to_str in favor of ToString::to_string (#1495)
• Removed SigevNotify on OpenBSD and Redox. (#1511)

[0.22.3] - 22 January 2022

Changed

• Relaxed the bitflags requirement from 1.3.1 to 1.1. This partially reverts #1492. From now on, the MSRV is not guaranteed to work with all versions of all dependencies, just with some version of all dependencies. (#1607)

[0.22.2] - 28 September 2021

Fixed

• Fixed buffer overflow in unistd::getgrouplist. (#1545)
• Added more errno definitions for better backwards compatibility with Nix 0.21.0. (#1467)

[0.22.1] - 13 August 2021

Fixed

• Locked bitflags to < 1.3.0 to fix the build with rust < 1.46.0.

Removed

• Removed a couple of termios constants on redox that were never actually supported. (#1483)

[0.22.0] - 9 July 2021

Added

• Added if_nameindex (#1445)
• Added nmount for FreeBSD. (#1453)
• Added IpFreebind socket option (sockopt) on Linux, Fuchsia and Android. (#1456)
• Added TcpUserTimeout socket option (sockopt) on Linux and Fuchsia. (#1457)
• Added renameat2 for Linux (#1458)
• Added RxqOvfl support on Linux, Fuchsia and Android. (#1455)

Changed

• ptsname_r now returns a lossily-converted string in the event of bad UTF, just like ptsname. (#1446)
• Nix's error type is now a simple wrapper around the platform's Errno. This means it is now Into<std::io::Error>. It's also Clone, Copy, Eq, and has a small fixed size. It also requires less typing. For example, the old enum variant nix::Error::Sys(nix::errno::Errno::EINVAL) is now simply nix::Error::EINVAL. (#1446)

[0.21.2] - 29 September 2021

Fixed

• Fixed buffer overflow in unistd::getgrouplist. (#1545)

[0.21.1] - 13 August 2021

Fixed

• Locked bitflags to < 1.3.0 to fix the build with rust < 1.46.0.

Removed

• Removed a couple of termios constants on redox that were never actually supported. (#1483)

[0.21.0] - 31 May 2021

Added

• Added getresuid and getresgid (#1430)

Changed

• Made forkpty unsafe, like fork (#1390)
• Made Uid, Gid and Pid methods from_raw and as_raw a const fn (#1429)
• Made Uid::is_root a const fn (#1429)
• AioCb is now always pinned. Once a libc::aiocb gets sent to the kernel, its address in memory must not change. Nix now enforces that by using std::pin. Most users won't need to change anything, except when using aio_suspend. See that method's documentation for the new usage. (#1440)
• LioCb is now constructed using a distinct LioCbBuilder struct. This avoids a soundness issue with the old LioCb. Usage is similar but construction now uses the builder pattern. See the documentation for details. (#1440)
• Minimum supported Rust version is now 1.41.0. (#1440)
• Errno aliases are now associated consts on Errno, instead of consts in the errno module. (#1452)

Fixed

• Allow sockaddr_ll size, as reported by the Linux kernel, to be smaller then it's definition (#1395)
• Fix spurious errors using sendmmsg with multiple cmsgs (#1414)
• Added Errno::EOPNOTSUPP to FreeBSD, where it was missing. (#1452)

Removed

• Removed sys::socket::accept4 from Android arm because libc removed it in version 0.2.87. (#1399)
• AioCb::from_boxed_slice and AioCb::from_boxed_mut_slice have been removed. They were useful with earlier versions of Rust, but should no longer be needed now that async/await are available. AioCbs now work exclusively with borrowed buffers, not owned ones. (#1440)
• Removed some Errno values from platforms where they aren't actually defined. (#1452)

[0.20.2] - 28 September 2021

Fixed

• Implemented IntoIterator for Dir (#1333).

Changed

Changed

• Expose SeekData and SeekHole on all Linux targets (#1284)
• Changed unistd::{execv,execve,execvp,execvpe,fexecve,execveat} to take both &[&CStr] and &[CString] as its list argument(s). (#1278)

• Added support on linux systems for MAP_HUGE_SIZE family of flags. (#1211)
• Added support for F_OFD_* fcntl commands on Linux and Android. (#1195)

• FsType inner value made public. (#1187)
• Added unistd::setfsuid and unistd::setfsgid to set the user or group identity for filesystem checks per-thread. (#1163)

• Added support for TimerFd. (#1261)

Changed

• Changed fallocate return type from c_int to () (#1201)
• Enabled sys::ptrace::setregs and sys::ptrace::getregs on x86_64-unknown-linux-musl target (#1198)
• On Linux, ptrace::write is now an unsafe function. Caveat programmer. (#1245)
• execv, execve, execvp and execveat in ::nix::unistd and reboot in ::nix::sys::reboot now return Result<Infallible> instead of Result<Void> (#1239)
• sys::socket::sockaddr_storage_to_addr is no longer unsafe. So is offset_of!.
• sys::socket::sockaddr_storage_to_addr, offset_of!, and Errno::clear are no longer unsafe.
• SockAddr::as_ffi_pair,sys::socket::sockaddr_storage_to_addr, offset_of!, and Errno::clear are no longer unsafe. (#1244)
• Several Inotify methods now take self by value instead of by reference (#1244)
• nix::poll::ppoll: timeout parameter is now optional, None is equivalent for infinite timeout.

Fixed

• Fixed getsockopt. The old code produced UB which triggers a panic with Rust 1.44.0. (#1214)

• Fixed unaligned casting of cmsg_data to af_alg_iv (#1206)

• Fixed readlink/readlinkat when reading symlinks longer than PATH_MAX (#1231)

• PollFd, EpollEvent, IpMembershipRequest, Ipv6MembershipRequest, TimeVal, and IoVec are now repr(transparent). This is required for correctness's sake across all architectures and compilers, though now bugs have been reported so far. (#1243)

• Fixed unaligned pointer read in Inotify::read_events. (#1244)

Removed

• Removed sys::socket::addr::from_libc_sockaddr from the public API. (#1215)

• Removed sys::termios::{get_libc_termios, get_libc_termios_mut, update_wrapper from the public API. These were previously hidden in the docs but still usable by downstream. (#1235)

• Nix no longer implements NixPath for Option<P> where P: NixPath. Most Nix functions that accept NixPath arguments can't do anything useful with None. The exceptions (mount and quotactl_sync) already take explicitly optional arguments. (#1242)

• Removed unistd::daemon and unistd::pipe2 on OSX and ios (#1255)

• Removed sys::event::FilterFlag::NOTE_EXIT_REPARENTED and sys::event::FilterFlag::NOTE_REAP on OSX and ios. (#1255)

• Added posix_fallocate. (#1105)

• Implemented Default for FdSet (#1107)
