v0.3.0 -- Huge memory optimization

This release brings some huge memory optimizations as we are now using iterators to generate the test case data. Boofuzz will no longer munch Gigabytes of RAM when fuzzing with large protocol definitions!
Also check out the new object orientated method for defining protocols here.

Features

• Memory optimization: Efficient mutation generation and smarter string reuse -- decrease memory consumption by orders of magnitude.
• Aligned block: Aligns content length to multiple of certain number of bytes.
• Relative names: Name references for Checksum, Size, etc. now resolve absolute and relative names. Block and primitive
  names no longer need to be globally unique within a message, they only need to be locally unique within a block.
• Passing data between messages: Callbacks now have a TestCaseContext object to which one can save data to be used
  later in the test case. TestCaseSessionReference can be passed as a default value in a protocol definition. The name
  it references must have been saved by the time that message in the protocol is reached.
• Fuzzable rewrite: Simpler definitions for new fuzz primitives. See static.py for an example of a very simple primitive.
• Protocol definition: Protocols can now be defined with an object oriented rather than static approach.
• Independent mutation and encoding steps: Will enable multiple mutations and code coverage feedback.
• Procmon: Additional debug steps. Partial backwards compatibility for old interface.
• ProcessMonitorLocal allows running procmon as part of fuzzer process.
• Network monitor: improved network interface discovery (Linux support).
• Added support for fuzzing Unix sockets with the UnixSocketConnection class.
• Added metadata to ProtocolSession to support callbacks -- current_message, previous_message.
• All primitive arguments are now optional keyword arguments.

Fixes

• Various web interface fixes.
• Various refactors and simplifications.
• Fewer duplicates from Group primitives.
• Network monitor: fixed data_bytes calculation and PcapThread synchronization.
• Fixed a crash when using the network monitor.
• Session can now be "quiet" by passing an empty list of loggers.
• Process Monitor: fixed Thread.isAlive for Python 3.9 compatibility.
• Correctly truncate values of the string primitive when max_len or size is set.
• The string primitive will no longer generate duplicates when max_len or size is set.
• Greatly improved string to bytes conversion speed.

v0.2.1 -- TFTP Example and Fixes

Features

• Added simple TFTP fuzzer example.

Fixes

• Fixed UDPSocketConnection data truncation when sending more data than the socket supports.
• Fixed execution of procmon stop_commands.
• Fixed TCP and SSL server connections.

v0.2.0 -- Monitor and Connection Interface Rework & Fixes

v0.2.0

Features

• Rewrote and split the SocketConnection class into individual classes per socket type.

• Layer 2 and Layer 3 connections may now use arbitrary payload / MTU sizes.
• Moved connection related modules into new connections submodule.
• Added the ability to repeat sending of packages within a given time or count.
• Added optional timeout and threshold to quit infinite connection retries.
• Reworked Monitors, consolidated interface. Breaking change: session no longer has netmon_options and procmon_options.
• SessionInfo has had attributes renamed; procmon_results and netmon_results are deprecated and now aliases for monitor_results and monitor_data respectively.
• New BoofuzzFailure exception type allows callback methods to signal a failure that should halt the current test case.
• Added capture_output option to process monitor to capture target process stderr/stdout .
• Added post-start-target callbacks (called every time a target is started or restarted).
• Added method to gracefully stop PED-RPC Server.
• Added new boofuzz logo and favicon to docs and webinterface.
• Added FileConnection to dump messages to files.
• Removed deprecated session arguments fuzz_data_logger, log_level, logfile, logfile_level and log().

Fixes

• Fixed size of s_size block when output is ascii.
• Fixed issue with tornado on Python 3.8 and Windows.
• Fixed various potential type errors.
• Renamed requests folder to request_definitions because it shadowed the name of the requests python module.
• Examples are up to date with current Boofuzz version.
• Modified timings on serial_connection unit tests to improve test reliability.
• Refactored old unit-tests.
• Fixed network monitor compatibility with Python 3.

• Handle SSL-related exception. Added ignore_connection_ssl_errors session attribute that can
  be set to True to ignore SSL-related error on a test case.
• Fixed s_from_file decoding in Python 2 (the encoding parameter is now depreciated).
• Updated documentation of s_checksum. It is possible to use a custom algorithm with this block.

v0.1.5 -- Text UI, Python 3 Compatibility, and Mechanical Tweaks

• Process monitor in Windows will use taskkill -F if taskkill fails.

Fixes

• Web server no longer crashes when asked for a non-existing test case.
