beeLin-Java Changes

A high-level view of the changes in each beeLīn-Java binary release.

Release v0.0.2

Released: 2015.10.11

Core Functionality

Features/Changes

  • beeLīn Java NameService implementation. This fixes several issues:

    • The browser now correctly sends an HTTP Host header with the request allowing .bit domains to be resolved correctly on sites using name-based virtual hosting.

    • The browser should also be able to load full URLs to .bit domains from within the context of existing pages.

  • Resolves more types of .bit domains correctly.

Known Issues

  • Binary release is for Mac OS X only. For Windows and Linux building from source is a single command.

  • Not all variants of Namecoin JSON DNS records are parsed correctly.

  • Subdomains are not handled correctly. Currently only resolves two-level domain names, like okturtles.bit and blockstream.bit.

  • DNSChain server used is hard-coded to https://api.dnschain.net.

beeLīn JavaFX Browser

In release v0.0.2 the browser has no direct references to the beeLīn Java library but accesses .bit name resolution entirely through standard Java libraries.

Known Issues

  • The go button must be clicked to load a URL

  • URLs must be complete URLs starting with http:// or https://

beeLīn Java Library

Features/Changes

  • Implements Java NameService SPI so that any app using standard Java networking (e.g. InetAddress.getByName()) can resolve .bit URLs transparently. Requires configuration via System properties as shown below:

    System.setProperty("sun.net.spi.nameservice.provider.1", "namecoin,beelin");
    System.setProperty("sun.net.spi.nameservice.provider.2", "default");

Release v0.0.1

Released: 2015.10.04

First release. Binary for Mac OS X only.
