Previously, and for unknown legacy reasons, we waited for a configurable delay (default 500ms) upon new connections before we ran the identify protocol. This unnecessarily slows down applications that wait for the identify handshake to complete before performing further actions.
Resolves#3485.
Pull-Request: #3545.
Previously, we would implicitly establish a connection when the user wanted to push identify information to a peer. I believe that this is the wrong behaviour. Instead, I am suggesting to log a message that we are skipping the push to this peer.
Additionally, the way this is currently implemented does not make much sense. Dialing a peer takes time. In case we don't have a connection at all, it could be that we drop the push requests because there isn't an active handler and thus we would have unnecessarily established the connection.
Instead of fixing this - which would require buffering the push messages - I think we should just remove the implicit dial.
Pull-Request: #3843.
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.

Previously, a `ConnectionHandler` was immediately requested from the `NetworkBehaviour` as soon as a new dial was initiated or a new incoming connection accepted.
With this patch, we delay the creation of the handler until the connection is actually established and fully upgraded, i.e authenticated and multiplexed.
As a consequence, `NetworkBehaviour::new_handler` is now deprecated in favor of a new set of callbacks:
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_inbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_outbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_established_inbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_established_outbound_connection`
All callbacks are fallible, allowing the `NetworkBehaviour` to abort the connection either immediately or after it is fully established. All callbacks also receive a `ConnectionId` parameter which uniquely identifies the connection. For example, in case a `NetworkBehaviour` issues a dial via `NetworkBehaviourAction::Dial`, it can unambiguously detect this dial in these lifecycle callbacks via the `ConnectionId`.
Finally, `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_outbound_connection` also replaces `NetworkBehaviour::addresses_of_peer` by allowing the behaviour to return more addresses to be used for the dial.
Resolves#2824.
Pull-Request: #3254.
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.
Previously, we used the full reference to the `OutEvent` of the `ConnectionHandler` in all implementations of `NetworkBehaviour`. Not only is this very verbose, it is also more brittle to changes. With the current implementation plan for #2824, we will be removing the `IntoConnectionHandler` abstraction. Using a type-alias to refer to the `OutEvent` makes the migration much easier.
This patch deprecates 3 out of 4 functions on `PollParameters`:
- `local_peer_id`
- `listened_addresses`
- `external_addresses`
The addresses can be obtained by inspecting the `FromSwarm` event. To make this easier, we introduce two utility structs in `libp2p-swarm`:
- `ExternalAddresses`
- `ListenAddresses`
A node's `PeerId` is always known to the caller, thus we can require them to pass it in.

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.
