################################################### ## Vortex Library 1.1.10 ## ## "Escape velocity" ## ################################################### Release note ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Advanced Software Production Line is proud to announce Vortex Library 1.1.10 "Escape velocity" release availability: an open source "BEEP Core" protocol implementation written in C, mapped onto TCP/IP. Vortex Library is a stable and robust application protocol development toolkit, with active support for Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux platforms. Check out the following links to get ready with Vortex Library: - http://www.aspl.es/vortex [Vortex Library homepage] - http://www.aspl.es/vortex/py-vortex/html [PyVortex homepage] - http://www.aspl.es/turbulence [Turbulence BEEP server homepage] - http://code.google.com/p/vortexlibrary/downloads/list [Sources and Win32 binaries] - http://www.beepcore.org [BEEP Core community web site] - http://www.aspl.es/xml [Axl Library, XML 1.0 implementation] This release in short ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LUA: Now Vortex Library officially support Lua through LuaVortex binding. See documentation to get ready building Lua BEEP applications: http://www.aspl.es/vortex/lua-vortex/html SERVER SIDE: Added support for automatic thread pool resize, through vortex_thread_pool_setup, which allows a BEEP vortex peer to react to working peaks adding threads, reducing them automatically when working load decreases. SECURITY: added support to limit frame size that could be received when automatic frame joining is enabled. CODE MORE ROBUST: now frame objects acquire a reference to the context to allow them to live after a vortex context was finished. Updated vortex profiles module to support changing profile settings in a thread safe manner (including removing registered profiles). Change notifications ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - vortex-conn-opts-01 http://lists.aspl.es/pipermail/vortex/2011-October/001085.html - vortex-ctx-data-01 http://lists.aspl.es/pipermail/vortex/2011-September/001081.html Thanks to.. ~~~~~~~~~~~ - Ralf Konusch (Reported thread safety problems at vortex profiles module, reported and fixed problems at reg tests when TLS and SASL aren't available, reported problems with CONN_OPTS due to __VA_ARGS__ in Microsoft Visual Studio) - Dwnam (Reported inconsistencies at vortex ctx data API which caused vortex-ctx-data-01 change notify). - Dexter (Reported missing notify actions on TLS module when used in conjunction with PULL API). - Scott Zhang (Reported and fixed problems with headers at xml-rpc module and xml-rpc-gen tool when used with c++ compilers). Changes since 1.1.9 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * [fix] Updated API for vortex_set_data_full, vortex_ctx_set_data and vortex_ctx_get_data to make the key parameter to be const char * instead of axlPointer which is consistent with current implementation and avoid problems while passing other types (specially numbers or pointers) when a string it is in fact expected. * [fix] Updated vortex frame module to acquire a reference to the VortexCtx to allow using frame references even after vortex ctx is finalized. This will simplify bindings.. * [fix] Setting close on exec flag on file descriptors created by epoll_create. * [fix] Fixed leak inside channel start handling when an error reply is generated with a custom user message. * [fix] Making channel start reply handling to remove the channel reference in case of error instead of waiting for the connection to finish. * [fix] Replaced several calls to axl_free with vortex_frame_unref inside __vortex_frame_get_next. * [fix] Added missing cleanup functions inside vortex tls module. * [fix] Removed deallocation of ssl contexts (inside vortex tls) when a certificate failure is found (those objects are already removed by connection finish handlers). * [fix] Updated regression tests to allow selecting the set of tests to execute. * [fix] Nullified queue reference at pull API module (ctx was holding a reference to a deallocated queue). * [fix] Fixed wrong memory access inside vortex listener regression test. * [fix] Fixed PyVortex handling to detect pvalue == NULL after calling PyErr_Fetch, so it points to Py_None. * [fix] Added a debug log into vortex_thread_pool.c code... * [fix] Removed wrong PyVortex documentation reference (set_serialize) from vortex.Ctx . * [new] Added initial support for automatic thread pool resizing, allowing a server to adapt its thread pool adding/removing working workers according to working peaks. API added: - vortex_thread_pool_setup Added regression test to check its function (test-00-c1). * [fix] More updates to regression test (test-00-c1). * [fix] Making vortex thread pool automatic resize to not have to release locks to add or remove thread from the pool to avoid races with the state and the number of threads added. * [fix] Updating version files.. * [fix] Making vortex sequencer to acquire a reference to the vortex ctx and to release it when stop beacon is detected. Solves possible race condition when sequencer loop takes longer than 60 seconds stop during a call to vortex_exit_ctx. * [fix] Reorganizing debian package files.. * [fix] Removed call to COMP_zlib_cleanup which seems to be not available in older distributions.. * [fix] Updating debian files.. * [fix] Adding change notification vortex-ctx-data-01.txt and fixed manual type (Reported by Dwnam). * [fix] Updated vortex profiles module to implement reference counting internally which allows to unregister profiles at run time. Also updated the module to acquire references to handlers and data to make the check and the execution to play with the same references (avoid races). Also fixes when a frame received was unset from a profile during a heavy load frame received call (Reported by Ralf Konusch). * [fix] Making vortex channel send operations to check result from vortex_channel_ref before configuring vortex payload feeder. * [fix] Added regression test test_01-v to check support for dynamic profile unregistering. Also fixed channel close request to always accept in the case no handler is found and the profile is not registered. * [new] Added support to limit max incoming message size when complete frame flag is enabled. Updated documentation to explain security risks (vortex_channel_set_complete_flag). Added regression test test-01w to check support added. API added: - vortex_channel_set_complete_frame_limit * [fix] Applied some changes to disable TLS and SASL reg tests when these components aren't available. Fixed variable declaration after code inside vortex profiles module. (Fixed and reported by Ralf Konusch). * [fix] Fixed possible race at vortex sequencer that may provide access to a channel reference inside a connection that is not working. * [fix] Updated vortex connection actions notify to be reetrant (required for auto tls and fix introduced by test-14-h). * [fix] Fixed vortex tls module which wasn't creating notify actions for TLS connection created. This was also causing problems at the PULL api because connection close event was not triggered for TLS connections (Reported by Dexter). Added regtest test-14-h to reproduce the bug and check fix introduced. * [fix] Updated documentation to explain what happens with content configured with vortex_connection_set_data during a tls activation.. * [fix] Fixed xml-rpc headers when used with g++. Moved BEGIN_C_DECLS inside ifdef (reported by Scott Zhang). * [fix] Added regtest (test-01-e1) to check vortex_listener_unlock before vortex_listener_wait support.. * [fix] Removed ## declaration in front of __VA_ARGS__ inside vortex_connection.h headers. * [fix] Added a new function to create default connection options object. Fixed CONN_OPTS macro to use this new function (fixed using __VA_ARGS__ which is not supported in visual studio). Reported by Ralf Konush. * [fix] Making vortex reader loop to also check for automatic thread pool resize to avoid having all threads in the pool blocking due to long running tasks, causing the thread pool to be not resized. * [fix] Fixed several compilation errors inside vortex core and PyVortex when debug log is not enabled. Reported by Ralf Konusch. * [fix] Reorganized automatic thread pool resizing code to be checked from inside vortex reader to ensure we can resize even in those cases where all the pool is busy for a long time. Added regression test to reproduce the bug and check fix introduced (test-00-c2). * [fix] Adding show connection errors to regression tests.. * [fix] Making vortex_channel_reply_ref to return axl_bool signaling if the ref process was ok. Used this to fix close in transit bug found on systems heavy loaded with low memory. * [fix] Updated regression tests that creates local listeners to use "0" to allocate a random port to avoid problem with port reuse in low memory or slow systems running the reg test. * [fix] Fixed problem with g++ compilers when used code generated by xml-rpc-gen (strings marshalled for xml-rpc c stub). Reported and fixed by Scott Zhang. * [fix] Making VortexChannel to acquire its own reference to VortexCtx instead of relying on VortexConnection's reference (which can be nullified on connection close, but channel reference may remain because the user acquired additional references). Checked reg tests. All fine. * [fix] Importing latest checked lua-vortex implementation. Reorganized compilation infrastructure to fit into current libvortex-1.1 building system. Everything keeps working. Nice! * [fix] Adding missing files to build documentation.. * [fix] Improved configure.ac process to check if indeed there is a python and a lua suitable installation to create py-vortex and lua-vortex bindings (even in the case the user requests it). Added some fixings to lua-vortex testing to not break when sasl or tls modules aren't enabled. * [fix] Making installation to detect if lua install dir announced by pkg-config really exists to create it if is not the case. * [fix] Updated Vortex pull API to include a new event to notify when a connection is ready to use or its setup is ready (like listeners connection). Event added: - VORTEX_EVENT_CONNECTION_READY Updated pull API to include a function to easily print event type names. API added: - vortex_event_get_type Updated regression tests to check this new event to ensure everything is working. * [fix] (minor change) Changed debug message from thread pool to level2...
