Previously, a protocol could be any sequence of bytes as long as it started with `/`. Now, we directly parse a protocol as `String` which enforces it to be valid UTF8.
To notify users of this change, we delete the `ProtocolName` trait. The new requirement is that users need to provide a type that implements `AsRef<str>`.
We also add a `StreamProtocol` newtype in `libp2p-swarm` which provides an easy way for users to ensure their protocol strings are compliant. The newtype enforces that protocol strings start with `/`. `StreamProtocol` also implements `AsRef<str>`, meaning users can directly use it in their upgrades.
`multistream-select` by itself only changes marginally with this patch. The only thing we enforce in the type-system is that protocols must implement `AsRef<str>`.

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.

In the libp2p specs, the only handshake pattern that is specified is the XX handshake. Support for other handshake patterns can be added through external modules. While we are at it, we rename the remaining types to following the laid out naming convention.
The tests for handshakes other than XX are removed. The handshakes still work as we don't touch them in this patch.

The `unreachable_pub` lint makes us aware of uses of `pub` that are not actually reachable from the crate root. This is considered good because it means reading a `pub` somewhere means it is actually public API. Some of our crates are quite large and keeping their entire API surface in your head is difficult.
We should strive for most items being `pub(crate)`. This lint helps us enforce that.
Pull-Request: #3735.
These functions were only used for some code in the interop-tests which is easily mitigated and perhaps even easier to understand now. We can thus deprecate these functions and their related types and thereby reduce the API surface of `libp2p-core` and the maintenance burden.
This change is motivated by the work around making protocols always strings which requires/required updates to all these upgrades.

This functionality isn't needed anywhere in `rust-libp2p` so we can deprecate and later remove it and thus reduce our API surface. Users relying on this function can vendor it.

This PR renames some method names that don't follow Rust naming conventions or behave differently from what the name suggests:
- Enforce "try" prefix on all methods that return `Result`.
- Enforce "encode" method name for methods that return encoded bytes.
- Enforce "to_bytes" method name for methods that return raw bytes.
- Enforce "decode" method name for methods that convert encoded key.
- Enforce "from_bytes" method name for methods that convert raw bytes.

All we need from the multihash is for it to be a data structure that we pass around. We only ever use the identity "hasher" and the sha256 hasher. Those are easily implemented without depending the (fairly heavy) machinery in `multihash`.
Unfortunately, this patch by itself does not yet lighten our dependency tree because `multiaddr` activates those features unconditionally. I opened a companion PR for this: https://github.com/multiformats/rust-multiaddr/pull/77.
https://github.com/multiformats/rust-multiaddr/pull/77 is another breaking change and we are trying to delay those at the moment. However, it will (hopefully) land eventually which should then be much easier to implement.
Fixes#3276.

Instead of relying on `protoc` and buildscripts, we generate the bindings using `pb-rs` and version them within our codebase. This makes for a better IDE integration, a faster build and an easier use of `rust-libp2p` because we don't force the `protoc` dependency onto them.

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.
Prefixing a variable with an underscore (`_`) in Rust indicates that it is not used. Through refactorings, it can sometimes happen that we do end up using such a variable. In this case, the underscore should be removed.
Clippy can help us with this.
Pull-Request: #3484.
We create the `ConnectionId` for the new connection as part of `DialOpts`. This allows `NetworkBehaviour`s to accurately track state regarding their own dial attempts.
This patch is the main enabler of https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/3254. Removing the `handler` field will allow us to deprecate the `NetworkBehaviour::new_handler` function in favor of four new ones that give more control over the connection lifecycle.
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`.
We can completely replace `EitherFuture2` with `EitherFuture`. `EitherFuture` itself cannot be removed for now because the `Future` implementation on `future::Either` forces both `Future`s to evaluate to the same type.
Previously, every inbound or outbound upgrade generated a log at `debug` level, without information about the upgrade.
This commit changes it such that successful upgrades are logged at `trace` level (due to ubiquitous use of OneShot handlers) and that the negotiated protocol name is included in the message.
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.
In case support for e.g. RSA keys is disabled at compile-time, we will now print a better error message. For example:
> Failed to dial Some(PeerId("QmcZf59bWwK5XFi76CZX8cbJ4BhTzzA3gU1ZjYZcYW3dwt")): Failed to negotiate transport protocol(s): [(/dnsaddr/bootstrap.libp2p.io/p2p/QmcZf59bWwK5XFi76CZX8cbJ4BhTzzA3gU1ZjYZcYW3dwt): : Handshake failed: Handshake failed: Invalid public key: Key decoding error: RSA keys are unsupported)]
Fixes#2971.
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.
Previously, the executor for connection tasks silently defaulted to a `futures::executor::ThreadPool`. This causes issues such as https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/2230.
With this patch, we force the user to choose, which executor they want to run the connection tasks on which results in overall simpler API with less footguns.
Closes#3068.
