Change Log

Version 3.9.0

2024-03-12

  • New: FileSystem.SYSTEM can be used in source sets that target both Kotlin/Native and Kotlin/JVM. Previously, we had this symbol in each source set but it wasn’t available to common source sets.
  • New: COpaquePointer.readByteString(...) creates a ByteString from a memory address.
  • New: Support InflaterSource, DeflaterSink, GzipSink, and GzipSource in Kotlin/Native.
  • New: Support openZip() on Kotlin/Native. One known bug in this implementation is that FileMetadata.lastModifiedAtMillis() is interpreted as UTC and not the host machine’s time zone.
  • New: Prefer NTFS timestamps in ZIP file systems’ metadata. This avoids the time zone problems of ZIP’s built-in DOS timestamps, and the 2038 time bombs of ZIP’s extended timestamps.
  • Fix: Don’t leak file handles to opened JAR files open in FileSystem.RESOURCES.
  • Fix: Don’t throw a NullPointerException if Closeable.use { ... } returns null.

Version 3.8.0

2024-02-09

  • New: TypedOptions works like Options, but it returns a T rather than an index.
  • Fix: Don’t leave sinks open when there’s a race in Pipe.fold().

Version 3.7.0

2023-12-16

  • New: Timeout.cancel() prevents a timeout from firing.
  • Breaking: Drop the watchosX86 Kotlin/Native target. From the Kotlin blog, ‘This is an obsolete simulator for Intel Macs. Use the watchosX64 target instead.’
  • New: Add the watchosDeviceArm64 Kotlin/Native target.
  • New: Timeout APIs that accept kotlin.time.Duration.
  • Upgrade: Kotlin 1.9.21.

Version 3.6.0

2023-10-01

  • Fix: Don’t leak file handles when using metadata functions on ZipFileSystem. We had a bug where we were closing the .zip file, but not a stream inside of it. We would have prevented this bug if only we’d used FakeFileSystem.checkNoOpenFiles() in our tests!
  • Fix: Don’t build an index of a class loader’s resources in ResourceFileSystem.read(). This operation doesn’t need this index, and building it is potentially expensive.
  • New: Experimentally support Linux on ARM64 for Kotlin/Native targets (linuxArm64). Note that we haven’t yet added CI test coverage for this platform.
  • Upgrade: Kotlin 1.9.10.

Version 1.17.6

2023-10-01

  • Fix: Don’t crash decoding GZIP files when the optional extra data (XLEN) is 32 KiB or larger.

Version 3.5.0

2023-08-02

  • New: Support the WebAssembly (WASM) platform. Okio’s support for WASM is experimental, but improving, just like Kotlin’s own support for WASM.
  • New: Adapt WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) API’s as an Okio FileSystem using WasiFileSystem. This is in the new okio-wasifilesystem module. It requires the preview1 WASI API. We’ll make backwards-incompatible upgrades to new WASI API versions as they become available.
  • Fix: Return relative paths in the NIO adapter FileSystem when required. FileSystem.list() had always returned absolute paths, even when the target directory was supplied as a relative path.
  • Fix: Don’t crash when reading into an empty array using FileHandle on Kotlin/Native.
  • Upgrade: Kotlin 1.9.0.

Version 3.4.0

2023-07-07

  • New: Adapt a Java NIO FileSystem (java.nio.file.FileSystem) as an Okio FileSystem using fileSystem.asOkioFileSystem().
  • New: Adapt Android’s AssetManager as an Okio FileSystem using AssetFileSystem. This is in the new okio-assetfilesystem module. Android applications should prefer this over FileSystem.RESOURCES as it’s faster to load.
  • Fix: Don’t crash decoding GZIP files when the optional extra data (XLEN) is 32 KiB or larger.
  • Fix: Resolve symlinks in FakeFileSystem.canonicalize().
  • Fix: Report the correct createdAtMillis in NodeJsFileSystem file metadata. We were incorrectly using ctimeMs, where c means changed, not created.
  • Fix: UnsafeCursor is now Closeable.

Version 3.3.0

2023-01-07

  • Fix: Don’t leak resources when use {} is used with a non-local return. We introduced this performance and stability bug by not considering that non-local returns execute neither the return nor catch control flows.
  • Fix: Use a sealed interface for BufferedSink and BufferedSource. These were never intended for end-users to implement, and we’re happy that Kotlin now allows us to express that in our API.
  • New: Change internal locks from synchronized to ReentrantLock and Condition. We expect this to improve help when using Okio with Java virtual threads (Project Loom).
  • Upgrade: Kotlin 1.8.0.

Version 3.2.0

2022-06-26

  • Fix: Configure the multiplatform artifact (com.squareup.okio:okio:3.x.x) to depend on the JVM artifact (com.squareup.okio:okio-jvm:3.x.x) for Maven builds. This should work-around an issue where Maven doesn’t interpret Gradle metadata.
  • Fix: Change CipherSource and CipherSink to recover if the cipher doesn’t support streaming. This should work around a crash with AES/GCM ciphers on Android.
  • New: Enable compatibility with non-hierarchical projects.

Version 3.1.0

2022-04-19

  • Upgrade: Kotlin 1.6.20.
  • New: Support Hierarchical project structure. If you’re using Okio in a multiplatform project please upgrade your project to Kotlin 1.6.20 (or newer) to take advantage of this. With hierarchical projects it’s easier to use properties like FileSystem.SYSTEM that are available on most Okio platforms but not all of them.
  • New: ForwardingSource is now available on all platforms.
  • New: The watchosX64 platform is now supported.
  • Fix: Don’t crash in `NSData.toByteString()’ when the input is empty.
  • Fix: Support empty ZIP files in FileSystem.openZip().
  • Fix: Throw in canonicalize() of ZIP file systems if the path doesn’t exist.
  • Fix: Don’t require ZIP files start with a local file header.
  • New: okio.ProtocolException is a new exception type for multiplatform users. (It is aliased to java.net.ProtocolException on JVM platforms).

Version 3.0.0

2021-10-28

This is the first stable release of Okio 3.x. This release is strongly backwards-compatible with Okio 2.x, and the new major version signifies new capabilities more than it does backwards incompatibility.

Most users should be able to upgrade from 2.x by just changing the version. If you’re using Okio in a Kotlin Multiplatform project, you’ll need to drop the -multiplatform suffix in your Gradle dependencies.

  • New: Remove @ExperimentalFileSystem. This annotation is no longer necessary as the file system is no longer experimental!
  • New: Path no longer aggressively normalizes .. segments. Use Path.normalize() to apply these based on the content of the path, or FileSystem.canonicalize() to do it honoring any symlinks on a particular file system.
  • New: Publish a bill of materials (BOM) for Okio. Depend on this from Gradle or Maven to keep all of your Okio artifacts on the same version, even if they’re declared via transitive dependencies. You can even omit versions when declaring other Okio dependencies.
dependencies {
   api(platform("com.squareup.okio:okio-bom:3.0.0"))
   api("com.squareup.okio:okio")                // No version!
   api("com.squareup.okio:okio-fakefilesystem") // No version!
}
  • New: FileSystem.delete() silently succeeds when deleting a file that doesn’t exist. Use the new mustExist parameter to trigger an exception instead.
  • New: FileSystem.createDirectories() silently succeeds when creating a directory that already exists. Use the new mustCreate parameter to trigger an exception instead.
  • New: FileSystem offers Java-language overloads where appropriate. Previously functions that had default parameters were potentially awkward to invoke from Java.
  • New: Timeout.intersectWith() returns a value instead of Unit. This is a binary-incompatible change. We expect that this public API is very rarely used outside of Okio itself.
  • Fix: Change BufferedSource.readDecimalLong() to fail if the input value is just -. Previously Okio incorrectly returned 0 for this.

Version 3.0.0-alpha.11

2021-10-23

  • Upgrade: Kotlin 1.5.31.
  • Upgrade: kotlinx-datetime 0.3.0. (This is a dependency of okio-fakefilesystem only.)
  • New: Support creating and accessing symlinks. We were reluctant to include symlinks in our API (to keep it small!) but decided that supporting them was essential to properly implement recursive traversal.
  • New: FileMetadata.extras can track metadata for custom FileSystem implementations.
  • New: Support Apple Silicon Kotlin/Native targets (macosArm64, iosSimulatorArm64, tvosSimulatorArm64, and watchosSimulatorArm64).
  • New: FileSystem.listRecursively() returns a Sequence that includes all of a directory’s children, and all of their children recursively. The implementation does a lazy, depth-first traversal.
  • New: Path.relativeTo() computes how to get from one path to another.
  • New: Path.root and Path.segments. These APIs decompose a path into its component parts.
  • New: FileSystem.listOrNull() returns a directory’s children, or null if the path doesn’t reference a readable directory.
  • New: Option to fail if the file being updated doesn’t already exist: mustExist. Use this to avoid creating a new file when your intention is to update an existing file.
  • New: Option to fail if a file being created already exists: mustCreate. Use this to avoid updating an existing file when your intention is to create a new file.
  • Fix: Restore support for Kotlin/JS on browser platforms. We were relying on NodeJS-only features to fetch the local directory separator (/ or \) and temporary directory.
  • Fix: Don’t ignore the caller’s specified write offset running Okio on Kotlin/Native on Linux. (FileHandle.write() was broken and always appended to the end of the file.)

Version 3.0.0-alpha.10

2021-09-09

This release drops the -multiplatform suffix on Kotlin Multiplatform artifacts. All artifacts now share the same name (like com.squareup.okio:okio:3.0.0-alpha.10) for both Kotlin/JVM and Kotlin Multiplatform.

  • Fix: Don’t crash in ResourceFileSystem when classpath .jar files have special characters in their paths.

Version 3.0.0-alpha.9

2021-08-01

  • New: ByteString.copyInto() saves an allocation when extracting data from a ByteString.
  • Fix: Create FileHandle.protectedSize() to match other abstract functions.
  • Fix: Open files in binary mode on Windows. Without this, files that contain 0x1a will be truncated prematurely.

Version 3.0.0-alpha.8

2021-07-13

  • Fix: Don’t crash on duplicate entries in a .zip file.
  • Fix: Change FileSystem.RESOURCES to initialize itself lazily.

Version 3.0.0-alpha.7

2021-07-12

  • Fix: Change ResourceFileSystem to load roots eagerly. We had a bug where list() on the root returned an empty list even if resources were present.
  • New: FileHandle.reposition() can seek on a source or sink returned by that FileHandle.
  • New: Move the system resources instance to FileSystem.RESOURCES.
  • Upgrade: Kotlin 1.5.20.

Version 3.0.0-alpha.6

2021-06-01

  • New: FileHandle supports random access reads, writes, and resizes on files. Create an instance with FileSystem.openReadOnly() or FileSystem.openReadWrite().
  • New: Remove Cursor which is obsoleted by FileHandle. (UnsafeCursor is still around!)
  • New: Add support for the new intermediate representation (IR) artifacts in Kotlin/JS. We still support the legacy artifact format.
  • New: Support tvOS (tvosArm64, tvosX64) in multiplatform.
  • New: Change ResourceFileSystem to omit .class files when indexing .zip files. We expect this to lower the memory footprint of ResourceFileSystem.
  • Fix: Don’t crash on background thread access in Kotlin/Native. We had to apply @SharedImmutable and run our test suite on a background thread.

Version 3.0.0-alpha.5

2021-04-27

  • New: Promote the ZipFileSystem and ResourceFileSystem to the main Okio module. These are currently JVM-only. The okio-zipfilesystem module is no longer published.

Version 3.0.0-alpha.4

2021-04-14

  • Fix: Rename internal classes to avoid name collisions. We were seeing problems due to having multiple files named -Platform.kt.

Version 3.0.0-alpha.3

2021-04-06

  • New: Move NodeJsFileSystem into its own module. Having it built-in prevented Okio from working in a browser where there’s no synchronous file system API. This is in the okio-nodefilesystem artifact.

Version 3.0.0-alpha.2

2021-03-24

  • New: Require Java 8+ for Okio 3.x.
  • New: Cursor supports random access reads on a Source.
  • New: FileSystem.openZip(path) returns a file system backed by a .zip file. This is in the okio-zipfilesystem artifact.

Version 3.0.0-alpha.1

2021-01-07

  • New: Experimental file system API. The Path, FileMetadata, FileSystem and ForwardingFileSystem types are subject to API changes in a future release.
  • New: Experimental okio-fakefilesystem artifact.

Version 2.10.0

2021-01-07

  • New: Support Windows (mingwX64) in multiplatform.
  • New: Support watchOS (watchosArm32, watchosArm64, watchosX86) in multiplatform.
  • New: Support HashingSource, HashingSink, buffer hash functions, and UnsafeCursor on non-JVM platforms. Previously these were all JVM-only.
  • New: Implement Closeable on Sink and Source on non-JVM platforms. Okio now includes a multiplatform okio.Closeable interface and corresponding use {} extension. Closing resources when you’re done with them shouldn’t be JVM-only!
  • New: Sink.hashingSink and Source.hashingSource functions that accept java.security.MessageDigest and javax.crypto.Mac instances. Use these when your hash function isn’t built-in.
  • Fix: Don’t crash with a ShortBufferException in CipherSink and CipherSource on Android. (Android may throw a ShortBufferException even if the buffer is not too short. We now avoid this problem!)
  • Upgrade: Kotlin 1.4.20.

Version 2.9.0

2020-10-04

  • Fix: Don’t corrupt the Buffer when writing a slice of a segmented ByteString. We had a severe bug where ByteString instances created with snapshot() and readByteString() incorrectly adjusted the buffer’s size by their full length, not the length of the slice. This would have caused buffer reads to crash! We do not believe data was silently corrupted.
  • New: CipherSink and CipherSource. Use these with javax.crypto.Cipher to encrypt and decrypt streams of data. This is a low-level encryption API; most applications should use higher-level APIs like TLS when available.
  • New: Promote hash functions md5, sha1(), sha512(), and sha256() to common Kotlin. These are currently only available on ByteString, multiplatform support for HashingSource, HashingSink, and Buffer should come in a follow-up release. We wrote and optimized our own implementations of these hash functions in Kotlin. On JVM and Android platforms Okio still uses the platform’s built-in hash functions.
  • New: Support OSGi metadata.
  • Upgrade: Kotlin 1.4.10.

Version 2.8.0

2020-08-17

  • New: Upgrade to Kotlin 1.4.0.

Version 2.7.0

2020-07-07

  • New: Pipe.cancel() causes in-progress and future reads and writes on the pipe to immediately fail with an IOException. The streams may still be canceled normally.

  • New: Enlarge Okio’s internal segment pool from a fixed 64 KiB total to 64 KiB per processor. For example, on an Intel i9 8-core/16-thread machine the segment pool now uses up to 1 MiB of memory.

  • New: Migrate from synchronized to lock-free when accessing the segment pool. Combined with the change above we saw throughput increase 3x on a synthetic benchmark designed to create contention.

Version 2.6.0

2020-04-22

  • New: InflaterSource.readOrInflate() is like InflaterSource.read(), except it will return 0 if consuming deflated bytes from the underlying stream did not produce new inflated bytes.

Version 2.5.0

2020-03-20

  • New: Upgrade to Kotlin 1.3.70.

Version 2.4.3

2019-12-20

  • New: Upgrade to Kotlin 1.3.61.

Version 2.4.2

2019-12-11

  • Fix: Don’t crash when an InputStream source is exhausted exactly at a buffer segment boundary. We had a bug where a sequence of reads could violate a buffer’s invariants, and this could result in a crash when subsequent reads encountered an unexpected empty segment.

Version 1.17.5

2019-12-11

  • Fix: Don’t crash when an InputStream source is exhausted exactly at a buffer segment boundary. We had a bug where a sequence of reads could violate a buffer’s invariants, and this could result in a crash when subsequent reads encountered an unexpected empty segment.

Version 2.4.1

2019-10-04

  • Fix: Don’t cache hash code and UTF-8 string in ByteString on Kotlin/Native which prevented freezing.

Version 2.4.0

2019-08-26

  • New: Upgrade to Kotlin 1.3.50.

Version 2.3.0

2019-07-29

This release changes our build from Kotlin-JVM to Kotlin-multiplatform (which includes JVM). Both native and JavaScript platforms are unstable preview releases and subject to backwards-incompatible changes in forthcoming releases.

To try Okio in a multiplatform project use this Maven coordinate:

api('com.squareup.okio:okio-multiplatform:2.3.0')

You’ll also need to enable Gradle metadata in your project’s settings. The artifact name for JVM projects has not changed.

  • New: Upgrade to Kotlin 1.3.40.
  • Fix: Use Gradle api instead of implementation for the kotlin-stdlib dependency.
  • Fix: Don’t block unless strictly necessary in BufferedSource.peek().

Version 1.17.4

2019-04-29

  • Fix: Don’t block unless strictly necessary in BufferedSource.peek().

Version 2.2.2

2019-01-28

  • Fix: Make Pipe.fold() close the underlying sink when necessary.

Version 1.17.3

2019-01-28

  • Fix: Make Pipe.fold() close the underlying sink when necessary.

Version 1.17.2

2019-01-17

  • Fix: Make Pipe.fold() flush the underlying sink.

Version 2.2.1

2019-01-17

  • Fix: Make Pipe.fold() flush the underlying sink.

Version 2.2.0

2019-01-16

  • New: Throttler limits sources and sinks to a maximum desired throughput. Multiple sources and sinks can be attached to the same throttler and their combined throughput will not exceed the desired throughput. Multiple throttlers can also be used on the same source or sink and they will all be honored.

  • New: Pipe.fold() replaces the actively-readable Source with a passively-writable Sink. This can be used to forward one sink to a target that is initially undetermined.

  • New: Optimize performance of ByteStrings created with Buffer.snapshot().

Version 1.17.1

2019-01-16

  • Fix: Make the newly-backported Pipe.fold() public.

Version 1.17.0

2019-01-16

  • New: Backport Pipe.fold() to Okio 1.x.

Version 1.16.0

2018-10-08

  • New: Backport BufferedSource.peek() and BufferedSource.getBuffer() to Okio 1.x.
  • Fix: Enforce timeouts when closing AsyncTimeout sources.

Version 2.1.0

2018-09-22

  • New: BufferedSource.peek() returns another BufferedSource that reads ahead on the current source. Use this to process the same data multiple times.

  • New: Deprecate BufferedSource.buffer(), replacing it with either BufferedSource.getBuffer() (in Java) or BufferedSource.buffer (in Kotlin). We have done likewise for BufferedSink. When we introduced the new extension method Source.buffer() in Okio 2.0 we inadvertently collided with an existing method. This fixes that.

  • New: Improve performance of Buffer.writeUtf8(). This comes alongside initial implementation of UTF-8 encoding and decoding in JavaScript which uses XOR masks for great performance.

Version 2.0.0

2018-08-27

This release commits to a stable 2.0 API. Read the 2.0.0-RC1 changes for advice on upgrading from 1.x to 2.x.

We’ve also added APIs to ease migration for Kotlin users. They use Kotlin’s @Deprecated annotation to help you change call sites from the 1.x style to the 2.x style.

Version 2.0.0-RC1

2018-07-26

Okio 2 is a major release that upgrades the library’s implementation language from Java to Kotlin.

Okio 2.x is binary-compatible with Okio 1.x and does not change any behavior. Classes and .jar files compiled against 1.x can be used with 2.x without recompiling.

Okio 2.x is .java source compatible with Okio 1.x in all but one corner case. In Okio 1.x Buffer would throw an unchecked IllegalStateException when attempting to read more bytes than available. Okio 2.x now throws a checked EOFException in this case. This is now consistent with the behavior of its BufferedSource interface. Java callers that don’t already catch IOException will now need to.

Okio 2.x is .kt source-incompatible with Okio 1.x. This release adopts Kotlin idioms where they are available.

Okio 2.x has similar performance to Okio 1.x. We benchmarked both versions to find potential performance regressions. We found one regression and fixed it: we were using == instead of ===.

Other changes in this release:

  • New: Add a dependency on kotlin-stdlib. Okio’s transitive dependencies grow from none in 1.x to three in 2.x. These are kotlin-stdlib (939 KiB), kotlin-stdlib-common (104 KiB), and JetBrains’ annotations (17 KiB).

  • New: Change Okio to build with Gradle instead of Maven.

Version 1.15.0

2018-07-18

  • New: Trie-based Buffer.select(). This improves performance when selecting among large lists of options.
  • Fix: Retain interrupted state when throwing InterruptedIOException.

Version 1.14.0

2018-02-11

  • New: Buffer.UnsafeCursor provides direct access to Okio internals. This API is like Okio’s version of Java reflection: it’s a very powerful API that can be used for great things and dangerous things alike. The documentation is extensive and anyone using it should review it carefully before proceeding!
  • New: Change BufferedSource to implement java.nio.ReadableByteChannel and BufferedSink to implement java.nio.WritableByteChannel. Now it’s a little easier to interop between Okio and NIO.
  • New: Automatic module name of okio for use with the Java Platform Module System.
  • New: Optimize Buffer.getByte() to search backwards when doing so will be more efficient.
  • Fix: Honor the requested byte count in InflaterSource. Previously this class could return more bytes than requested.
  • Fix: Improve a performance bug in AsyncTimeout.sink().write().

Version 1.13.0

2017-05-12

  • Okio now uses @Nullable to annotate all possibly-null values. We’ve added a compile-time dependency on the JSR 305 annotations. This is a provided dependency and does not need to be included in your build configuration, .jar file, or .apk. We use @ParametersAreNonnullByDefault and all parameters and return types are never null unless explicitly annotated @Nullable.

  • Warning: this release is source-incompatible for Kotlin users. Nullability was previously ambiguous and lenient but now the compiler will enforce strict null checks.

Version 1.12.0

2017-04-11

  • Fix: Change Pipe’s sink.flush() to not block. Previously closing a pipe’s sink would block until the source had been exhausted. In practice this blocked the caller for no benefit.
  • Fix: Change writeUtf8CodePoint() to emit ? for partial surrogates. The previous behavior was inconsistent: given a malformed string with a partial surrogate, writeUtf8() emitted ? but writeUtf8CodePoint() threw an IllegalArgumentException. Most applications will never encounter partial surrogates, but for those that do this behavior was unexpected.
  • New: Allow length of readUtf8LineStrict() to be limited.
  • New: Utf8.size() method to get the number of bytes required to encode a string as UTF-8. This may be useful for length-prefixed encodings.
  • New: SHA-512 hash and HMAC APIs.

Version 1.11.0

2016-10-11

  • Fix: The four-argument overload of Buffer.writeString() had a major bug where it didn’t respect offsets if the specified charset was UTF-8. This was because our short-circuit optimization omitted necessary offset parameters.
  • New: HMAC support in HashingSource, HashingSink, ByteString, and Buffer. This makes it easy to create a keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC) wherever your data is. Unlike the other hashes, HMAC uses a ByteString secret key for authentication.
  • New: ByteString.of(ByteBuffer) makes it easier to mix NIO with Okio.

Version 1.10.0

2016-08-28

  • Fix: Support reading files larger than 2 GiB with GzipSource. Previously attempting to decompress such files would fail due to an overflow when validating the total length.
  • Fix: Exit the watchdog thread after being idle for 60 seconds. This should make it possible for class unloaders to fully unload Okio.
  • New: Okio.blackhole() returns a sink where all bytes written are discarded. This is Okio’s equivalent of /dev/null.
  • New: Encode a string with any charset using ByteString.encodeString() and decode strings in any charset using ByteString.string(). Most applications should prefer ByteString.encodeUtf8() and ByteString.utf8() unless it’s necessary to support a legacy charset.
  • New: GzipSink.deflater() makes it possible to configure the compression level.

Version 1.9.0

2016-07-01

  • New: Pipe makes it easy to connect a producer thread to a consumer thread. Reads block until data is available to read. Writes block if the pipe’s is full. Both sources and sinks support timeouts.
  • New: BufferedSource.rangeEquals() makes it easy to compare a range in a stream to an expected value. This does the right thing: it blocks to load the data required return a definitive result. But it won’t block unnecessarily.
  • New: Timeout.waitUntilNotified() makes it possible to use nice timeout abstractions on Java’s built-in wait/notify primitives.
  • Fix: Don’t return incorrect results when HashingSource does large reads. There was a bug where it wasn’t traversing through the segments of the buffer being hashed. This means that HashingSource was returning incorrect answers for any writes that spanned multiple segment boundaries.

Version 1.8.0

2016-05-02

  • New: BufferedSource.select(Options) API for reading one of a set of expected values.
  • New: Make ByteString.toString() and Buffer.toString() friendlier. These methods return text if the byte string is valid UTF-8.
  • New: APIs to match byte strings: indexOf(), startsWith(), and endsWith().

Version 1.7.0

2016-04-10

  • New: Change the segment size to 8 KiB. This has been reported to dramatically improve performance in some applications.
  • New: md5(), sha1(), and sha256() methods on Buffer. Also add a sha1() method on ByteString for symmetry.
  • New: HashingSource and HashingSink. These classes are Okio’s equivalent to the JDK’s DigestInputStream and DigestOutputStream. They offer convenient md5(), sha1(), and sha256() factory methods to avoid an impossible NoSuchAlgorithmException.
  • New: ByteString.asByteBuffer().
  • Fix: Limit snapshot byte strings to requested size.
  • Fix: Change write timeouts to have a maximum write size. Previously large writes could easly suffer timeouts because the entire write was subject to a single timeout.
  • Fix: Recover from EBADF failures, which could be triggered by asynchronously closing a stream on older versions of Android.
  • Fix: Don’t share segments if doing so only saves a small copy. This should improve performance for all applications.
  • Fix: Optimize BufferedSource.indexOfElement() and indexOf(ByteString). Previously this method had a bug that caused it to be very slow on large buffers.

Version 1.6.0

2015-08-25

  • New: BufferedSource.indexOf(ByteString) searches a source for the next occurrence of a byte string.
  • Fix: Recover from unexpected AssertionError thrown on Android 4.2.2 and earlier when asynchronously closing a socket.

Version 1.5.0

2015-06-19

  • Sockets streams now throw SocketTimeoutException. This builds on new extension point in AsyncTimeout to customize the exception when a timeout occurs.
  • New: ByteString now implements Comparable. The comparison sorts bytes as unsigned: {@code ff} sorts after {@code 00}.

Version 1.4.0

2015-05-16

  • Timeout exception changed. Previously Timeout.throwIfReached() would throw InterruptedIOException on thread interruption, and IOException if the deadline was reached. Now it throws InterruptedIOException in both cases.
  • Fix: throw EOFException when attempting to read digits from an empty source. Previously this would crash with an unchecked exception.
  • New: APIs to read and write UTF-8 code points without allocating strings.
  • New: BufferedSink can now write substrings directly, potentially saving an allocation for some callers.
  • New: ForwardingTimeout class.

Version 1.3.0

2015-03-16

  • New: Read and write signed decimal and unsigned hexadecimal values in BufferedSource and BufferedSink. Unlike the alternatives, these methods don’t do any memory allocations!
  • New: Segment sharing. This improves the runtime of operations like Buffer.clone() and Buffer.copyTo() by sharing underlying segments between buffers.
  • New: Buffer.snapshot() returns an immutable snapshot of a buffer as a ByteString. This builds on segment sharing so that snapshots are shallow, immutable copies.
  • New: ByteString.rangeEquals().
  • New: ByteString.md5() and ByteString.sha256().
  • New: ByteString.base64Url() returns URL-safe Base64. The existing decoding method has been extended to support URL-safe Base64 input.
  • New: ByteString.substring() returns a prefix, infix, or suffix.
  • New: Sink now implements java.io.Flushable.
  • Fix: Buffer.write(Source, long) now always writes fully. The previous behavior would return as soon as any data had been written; this was inconsistent with all other write() methods in the API.
  • Fix: don’t leak empty segments in DeflaterSink and InflaterSource. (This was unlikely to cause problems in practice.)

Version 1.2.0

2014-12-30

  • Fix: Okio.buffer() always buffers for better predictability.
  • Fix: Provide context when readUtf8LineStrict() throws.
  • Fix: Buffers do not call through the Source on zero-byte writes.

Version 1.1.0

2014-12-11

  • Do UTF-8 encoding natively for a performance increase, particularly on Android.
  • New APIs: BufferedSink.emit(), BufferedSource.request() and BufferedSink.indexOfElement().
  • Fixed a performance bug in Buffer.indexOf()

Version 1.0.1

2014-08-08

  • Added read(byte[]), read(byte[], offset, byteCount), and void readFully(byte[]) to BufferedSource.
  • Refined declared checked exceptions on Buffer methods.

Version 1.0.0

2014-05-23

  • Bumped release version. No other changes!

Version 0.9.0

2014-05-03

  • Use 0 as a sentinel for no timeout.
  • Make AsyncTimeout public.
  • Remove checked exception from Buffer.readByteArray.

Version 0.8.0

2014-04-24

  • Eagerly verify preconditions on public APIs.
  • Quick return on Buffer instance equivalence.
  • Add delegate types for Sink and Source.
  • Small changes to the way deadlines are managed.
  • Add append variant of Okio.sink for File.
  • Methods to exhaust BufferedSource to byte[] and ByteString.

Version 0.7.0

2014-04-18

  • Don’t use getters in timeout.
  • Use the watchdog to interrupt sockets that have reached deadlines.
  • Add java.io and java.nio file source/sink helpers.

Version 0.6.1

2014-04-17

  • Methods to read a buffered source fully in UTF-8 or supplied charset.
  • API to read a byte[] directly.
  • New methods to move all data from a source to a sink.
  • Fix a bug on input stream exhaustion.

Version 0.6.0

2014-04-15

  • Make ByteString serializable.
  • New API: ByteString.of(byte[] data, int offset, int byteCount)
  • New API: stream-based copy, write, and read helpers.

Version 0.5.0

2014-04-08

  • Initial public release.
  • Imported from OkHttp.
