The updates include:
- The ability to specify a custom gpodder service.
- Use https instead of http for gpodder.net.
- A fix that prevents encoded URLs from being re-encoded.
When QProxyStyle is given a base style, it take ownership of that object.
PlaylistView creates a proxy style based on its own style, but that is a shared
resource. When the PlayListView is destroyed, this object is destroyed.
Instead of passing style() to QStyle, pass nullptr. This will use the native
style.
It's not necessary for the PodcastSettingsPage class to have knowledge of
GPodderSync's login implementation. Handling the network reply in a single
location sightly simplifies the code. It also makes the handling order
more deterministic.
A sessionid cookie is stored when logging in to gpodder. After logging out, a
subsequent login with the same user name but incorrect password will succeed,
ignoring the authorization header. The incorrect password will be stored for
future use.
To fix this, reset the cookie jar for GPodderSync's network access manager at
logout.
A closure created by NewClosure that handles Qt signals is destroyed if the
signal object is destroyed, the slot object is destroyed, or the signal is
invoked. In the case where the sender is passed as a shared pointer, the
reference prevents the sender from being destroyed before the closure.
So for closures built to handle responses returned from ApiRequest in
GPodderSync, the closure object and the response object will only be destroyed
after the signal is invoked. In some cases, separate closures are built for
error signals as well. For these, only one closure will be destroyed. The other
closures and the response object will be leaked.
A simple fix for the success cases is to remove the unnecessary error case
closures and directly connect the signals to slots. This is low hanging fruit
and still leaves leaks in the error cases. Those cases will require a more
complete solution to properly manage the life cycle of the response object.
In most cases, timeouts can be applied to a reply after a request has been made.
But some APIs, such as libmygpo-qt, don't always provide access to the reply or
provide abort methods. For these cases, add an optional timeout to
NetworkAccessManager. If set, create a NetworkTimeouts instance in createRequest
and add the reply. Use the reply as the parent so that it is destroyed when the
reply is destroyed.
Apparently this was introduced in 2011 as a workaround to solve a problem in
libimobiledevice. However already in 2013 the problem was solved
in libimobiledevice:
