Note: ARM binary has not been stripped (hence the larger file size).

v0.3.4-beta

Changelog

Many of the updates in this release are developer-facing improvements.

Bug Fixes

• None

New Features / Updates

• Separates the secret handshake negotiation from the replication logic and splits much of the codebase into modules (#53)
• Removes unused dependencies (procfs, slice-deque and snap) and moves tempdir into dev-dependencies (#56)
• Splits solar into a library and CLI by making the repo into a workspace (#58)
• Splits configuration into modules in order to make the solar node embeddable in other Rust projects (#61)
• Renames the primary repository branch from master to main (#62)
• Adds a basic connection scheduler to dial peers at intervals (#66)
• Moves management of connected peer list into the connection manager (#68)
• Fixs replication configuration parsing from the replication.toml file (#70)

Breaking Changes ⚠️

• The fields in secret.toml have been renamed (id -> public_key and secret -> private_key)
• The format of the peer address in replication.toml has changed to host:port (no tcp://)
  • See the README for an example if you are unsure

Note: ARM binary has not been stripped (hence the larger file size).

v0.3.3-beta

Changelog

Bug Fixes

• Returns full feed including last message (#46)
  • Thanks @black-puppydog !
• Fixes TCP connection bug by replacing JSON-RPC crate with an async equivalent (#52)

New Features / Updates

• Introduces inbound peer connection filtering (#39)
• Changes peer address to URL format and exposes node IP config via CLI (#41 & #40)
• Introduces basic connection manager logging (#47)
• Introduces other minor changes (#42, #43, #44)

Note: ARM binary has not been stripped (hence the larger file size).

v0.3.2-beta

Changelog

• Refactors the application configuration
  • Moves the CLI generator into src/cli.rs
  • Moves all (most) remaining configuration from src/main.rs to src/config.rs
• Reintroduces the local feed resync option via a CLI flag (defaults to false)
• Exposes env vars for setting JSON-RPC server IP and port
• Exposes env var for setting the network key to be used when attempting secret handshake with peer
  • This makes it possible to run solar nodes on an alt net
• Adds CLI printout to README, plus link to RPi build instructions and a list of available env vars for configuration

v0.3.1-beta

Changelog

• Splits the previous solar config file (solar.toml) into one file for the public-private keypair (secret.toml) and one for replication configuration (replication.toml)
• Renames friends CLI option to replicate
• Fixes replication bug which prevented solar-to-solar replication
• Improves replication efficiency by only sending messages not known to the requesting peer
• Removes automatic resync (replication request for local feed)
• Adds several new JSON-RPC methods
  • peers : get a list of all public keys in the local database with latest sequence number for each
  • message : get a single message by reference
  • feed : get all messages by public key (ie. all messages from a single author)
• Significantly increases coverage of code and doc comments
• Adds tests to the key-value database module
• Introduces other miscellaneous refactors for clarity and consistency

v0.3.0-beta

Changelog

• Replaces anyhow and thiserror with a custom error implementation
• Fixes replication by parsing received messages to KVTs instead of message values (the V in KVT)
• Allows setting sled cache capacity via SLED_CACHE_CAPACITY env var
• Friends are now saved to solar.toml when provided via the CLI
• Adds a JSON-RPC server (HTTP) as an actor
  • Exposes ping, whoami and publish methods
