News for rely

This file lists the major changes between versions. For a more detailed list of every change, see the Git log.

Latest

• Minor: Use new version of waf. This allows CMake to skip internal dependencies.

7.1.0

• Minor: Added missing function encoder::is_repair_trigger_disabled().

7.0.0

• Major: Moved rely app to separate repository: https://github.com/steinwurf/rely-app.
• Major: Changed packet_is_systematic to is_packet_repair.
• Minor: Expose helper functions to read packet information in Rely. See the src/rely/packet.hpp file for more information.
• Minor: Added performance counters for number of linear dependent and excess repair and source symbols.
• Major: Merged reference/test application UDP and TUN mode.
• Minor: Added tester mode to Rely test application. The tester mode runs as a traffic generator - such that a Rely sender and receiver can run standalone.
• Major: Update Rely header format to allow stream and window to be managed separately.
• Patch: Document and handle stream disconnect.
• Minor: Added encoder::set_flush_threshold() and encoder::flush_threshold() to deal with network jitter.
• Minor: Implemented lower bound release in the decoder. Effectively releases unreleased symbols if the encoder has dropped them.

6.1.0

• Minor: Update Evaluation License to version 1.3.

6.0.0

• Major: Change cmake build to be object library based.
• Major: Upgrade kodo-slide to version 11.
• Major: Upgrade platform to version 4.
• Major: Upgrade chunkie to version 11.
• Major: Upgrade endian to version 12.
• Major: Upgrade recycle to version 6.
• Major: Upgrade bourne to version 9.
• Minor: Upgrade tunnel to version 5.

5.0.0

• Minor: Added to_repair_count helper function.
• Minor: Added generate_repair to the encoder API.
• Major: Renamed set_repair to set_repair_trigger.
• Major: Renamed repair_rate to repair_trigger_rate.
• Major: Renamed repair_interval to repair_trigger_interval.
• Major: Renamed repair_target to repair_trigger_target.
• Major: Renamed disable_repair to disable_repair_trigger.
• Minor: Added install step to CMake.

4.0.1

• Patch: Add missing implementation for counter_name for encoder and decoder.

4.0.0

• Major: Make resolved symlinks relative
• Patch: Improve the titles in the benchmark plots
• Minor: Added set_timeout and catch_up functions to encoder and decoder. This allows changing the timeout after configure.
• Minor: Added/updated API to reset and iterate through the different performance counters.
• Major: Change the meaning of the –mtu option when running the Rely application in TUN mode.
• Minor: Support logfile output when running Rely application in TUN mode.
• Major: Update chunkie dependency.
• Major: Update bitter dependency.
• Major: Update recycle dependency.
• Major: Update endian dependency.
• Major: Update kodo-slide dependency.
• Minor: Updated Rely application to use flush and optionally flush_repair.
• Minor: Add documentation on content aware encoding with Rely.
• Minor: Add documentation on Rely’s packet loss protection approach.
• Patch: Fix issue where encoder::flush_repair() would generate too many repair symbols for a given repair rate.
• Minor: Added a number of additional performance counters.
• Major: Remove the symbols_encoded(), symbols_decoded(), symbols_dropped() etc. in favor of performance counters.
• Minor: Adding performance counters for monitoring performance.
• Major: Update to Rely Evaluation License 1.2, and Rely Research License 1.2.

3.0.2

• Patch: Fix issue with TCP in tun application.

3.0.1

• Patch: Fix hello world example.

3.0.0

• Minor: Added encoder::flush_repair() function for flushing repair symbols manually. Doing so force the encoder to satisfy the repair requirements all source symbols currently in the stream.
• Minor: Added encoder::stream_size() and decoder::stream_size() which exposes the number of packets currently in the stream.
• Minor: Added simple hello_world example.
• Major: Changed packet_bytes to max_packet_bytes.
• Major: Changed packets_dropped to symbols_dropped.
• Major: Changed packets_decoded to symbols_decoded.
• Minor: Added encoder stats which exposes repair_symbols_encoded, source_symbols_encoded, and symbols_encoded.
• Patch: Fixed a bug which caused the decoder to throw away useful data, making it far less effective.

2.0.0

• Major: Added support for variable symbol length.
• Major: Re-wrote API to support timeout and decouple it from IO.
• Major: Update license to Evaluation License Version 1.2.
• Minor: Added CMake support.

1.0.1

• Patch: Actually the initial release.

1.0.0

• Major: Initial release.
