This option is the only reason we pull in a dependency on the shared `zlib` library. Unfortunately, we cannot use a pure Rust backend here because that one does not support configuring the window bits of the deflate algorithm which is used in the deflate websocket extension.
Using websockets in libp2p is already crazy inefficient because you end up with double encryption when using `/wss` (which is enforced by browsers if your website is served via https). A good encryption algorithm like noise or TLS produces an output that looks completely random. Any attempt in compressing this is pretty much wasted CPU power.
Thus, I think removing this configuration option does not really hurt and allows us to remove the dependency on the `zlib` shared library.

`Transport::listen_on` is an asynchronous operation. It returns immediately but the actual process of establishing a listening socket happens as part of `Transport::poll` which will return one or more `TransportEvent`s related to a particular `listen_on` call.
Currently, `listen_on` returns a `ListenerId` which allows the user of the `Transport` interface to correlate the events with a particular `listen_on` call. This "user" is the `Swarm` runtime. Currently, a user of libp2p establishes a new listening socket by talking to the `Swarm::listen_on` interface and it is not possible to do the same thing via the `NetworkBehaviour` trait.
Within the `NetworkBehaviour` trait, we emit _commands_ to the `Swarm` like `ToSwarm::Dial`. These commands don't have a "return value" like a synchronous function does and thus, if we were to add a `ToSwarm::ListenOn` command, it could not receive the `ListenerId` from the `Transport`.
To fix this and to be consistent with our [coding guidelines](https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/blob/master/docs/coding-guidelines.md#allow-correlating-asynchronous-responses-to-their-requests) we change the interface of `Transport::listen_on` to require the user to pass in a `ListenerId`. This will allow us to construct a command in a `NetworkBehaviour` that remembers this ID which enables precise tracking of which events containing a `ListenerId` correlate which a particular `listen_on` command.
This is especially important in the context of listening on wildcard addresses like `0.0.0.0` because we end up binding to multiple network interfaces and thus emit multiple events for a single `listen_on` call.

With all crates have received a release since https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/3024, building the baseline rustdoc no longer required `protoc` and we can thus remove it from our CI entirely.
Resolves#3539.
Pull-Request: #3858.
Previously, we would specify the version and path of our workspace dependencies in each of our crates. This is error prone as https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/3658#discussion_r1153278072 for example shows. Problems like these happened in the past too.
There is no need for us to ever depend on a earlier version than the most current one in our crates. It thus makes sense that we manage this version in a single place.
Cargo supports a feature called "workspace inheritance" which allows us to share a dependency declaration across a workspace and inherit it with `{ workspace = true }`.
We do this for all our workspace dependencies and for the MSRV.
Resolves#3787.

A large release with lots of changes I am looking forward to. Sorry for the long release cadence.
Anything folks would like to see included that is not yet in `master`? As usual I would like to only block on bug fixes.
Pull-Request: #3491.
The trick with this one is to use `futures::Either` everywhere where we may wrap something that implements any of the `futures` traits. This includes the output of `EitherFuture` itself. We also need to implement `StreamMuxer` on `future::Either` because `StreamMuxer`s may be the the `Output` of `InboundUpgrade`.
As I do frequently, I corrected for the latest clippy warnings. This will make sure the CI won't complain in the future. We could automate this btw and maybe run the nightly version of clippy.
We refactor our continuous integration workflow with the following goals in mind:
- Run as few jobs as possible
- Have the jobs finish as fast as possible
- Have the jobs redo as little work as possible
There are only so many jobs that GitHub Actions will run in parallel.
Thus, it makes sense to not create massive matrices but instead group
things together meaningfully.
The new `test` job will:
- Run once for each crate
- Ensure that the crate compiles on its specified MSRV
- Ensure that the tests pass
- Ensure that there are no semver violations
This is an improvement to before because we are running all of these
in parallel which speeds up execution and highlights more errors at
once. Previously, tests run later in the pipeline would not get run
at all until you make sure the "first" one passes.
We also previously did not verify the MSRV of each crate, making the
setting in the `Cargo.toml` rather pointless.
The new `cross` job supersedes the existing `wasm` job.
This is an improvement because we now also compile the crate for
windows and MacOS. Something that wasn't checked before.
We assume that checking MSRV and the tests under Linux is good enough.
Hence, this job only checks for compile-errors.
The new `feature_matrix` ensures we compile correctly with certain feature combinations.
`libp2p` exposes a fair few feature-flags. Some of the combinations
are worth checking independently. For the moment, this concerns only
the executor related transports together with the executor flags but
this list can easily be extended.
The new `clippy` job runs for `stable` and `beta` rust.
Clippy gets continuously extended with new lints. Up until now, we would only
learn about those as soon as a new version of Rust is released and CI would
run the new lints. This leads to unrelated failures in CI. Running clippy on with `beta`
Rust gives us a heads-up of 6 weeks before these lints land on stable.
Fixes#2951.
Remove default features. You need to enable required features
explicitly now. As a quick workaround, you may want to use the
new `full` feature which activates all features.
Instead of having a mix of `poll_event`, `poll_outbound` and `poll_close`, we
flatten the entire interface of `StreamMuxer` into 4 individual functions:
- `poll_inbound`
- `poll_outbound`
- `poll_address_change`
- `poll_close`
This design is closer to the design of other async traits like `AsyncRead` and
`AsyncWrite`. It also allows us to delete the `StreamMuxerEvent`.
Remove the concept of individual `Transport::Listener` streams from `Transport`.
Instead the `Transport` is polled directly via `Transport::poll`. The
`Transport` is now responsible for driving its listeners.
This commit removes the `Clone` implementation on `GenTcpConfig` and consequently the `Clone`
implementations on `GenDnsConfig` and `WsConfig`.
When port-reuse is enabled, `GenTcpConfig` tracks the addresses it is listening in a `HashSet`. This
`HashSet` is shared with the `TcpListenStream`s via an `Arc<Mutex<_>>`. Given that `Clone` is
`derive`d on `GenTcpConfig`, cloning a `GenTcpConfig`, results in both instances sharing the same
set of listen addresses. This is not intuitive.
This behavior is for example error prone in the scenario where one wants to speak both plain DNS/TCP and
Websockets. Say a user creates the transport in the following way:
``` Rust
let transport = {
let tcp = tcp::TcpConfig::new().nodelay(true).port_reuse(true);
let dns_tcp = dns::DnsConfig::system(tcp).await?;
let ws_dns_tcp = websocket::WsConfig::new(dns_tcp.clone());
dns_tcp.or_transport(ws_dns_tcp)
};
```
Both `dns_tcp` and `ws_dns_tcp` share the set of listen addresses, given the `dns_tcp.clone()` to
create the `ws_dns_tcp`. Thus, with port-reuse, a Websocket dial might reuse a DNS/TCP listening
port instead of a Websocket listening port.
With this commit a user is forced to do the below, preventing the above error:
``` Rust
let transport = {
let dns_tcp = dns::DnsConfig::system(tcp::TcpConfig::new().nodelay(true).port_reuse(true)).await?;
let ws_dns_tcp = websocket::WsConfig::new(
dns::DnsConfig::system(tcp::TcpConfig::new().nodelay(true).port_reuse(true)).await?,
);
dns_tcp.or_transport(ws_dns_tcp)
};
```

Previously `libp2p-swarm` required a `Transport` to be `Clone`. Methods
on `Transport`, e.g. `Transport::dial` would take ownership, requiring
e.g. a `Clone::clone` before calling `Transport::dial`.
The requirement of `Transport` to be `Clone` is no longer needed in
`libp2p-swarm`. E.g. concurrent dialing can be done without a clone per
dial.
This commit removes the requirement of `Clone` for `Transport` in
`libp2p-swarm`. As a follow-up methods on `Transport` no longer take
ownership, but instead a mutable reference (`&mut self`).
On the one hand this simplifies `libp2p-swarm`, on the other it
simplifies implementations of `Transport`.
