6.9 KiB

1.4.0 - 2017-03-08

  • Compiles on DMD 2.072.2 up to 2.079.0
  • Uses the stdx-allocator package instead of std.experimental.allocator - note that this change requires version 0.8.3 of vibe-d to be used
  • Added TCPConnection.waitForDataAsync to enable temporary detachment of a TCP connection from a fiber (by Francesco Mecca) - pull #62
  • Fixed TCPConnection.leastSize to return numbers greater than one (by Pavel Chebotarev aka nexor) - pull #52
  • Fixed a task scheduling assertion happening when worker tasks and timers were involved - issue #58, pull #60
  • Fixed a race condition in TaskPool leading to random assertion failures - 7703cc6
  • Fixed an issue where the event loop would exit prematurely when calling yield - issue #66, pull #67
  • Fixed/worked around a linker error on LDC/macOS - issue #65, pull #68

1.3.0 - 2017-12-03

  • Compiles on DMD 2.071.2 up to 2.077.0
  • Added a timeout parameter in connectTCP (by Boris Baboris) - pull #44, pull #41
  • Fixes the fiber event scheduling mechanism to not cause any heap allocations - this alone gives a performance boost of around 20% in the bench-dummy-http example - pull #27
  • Added FileInfo.hidden property
  • pipe() now returns the actual number of bytes written
  • Fixed TCPListener.bindAddress
  • Fixed a segmentation fault when logging from a non-D thread
  • Fixed setupWorkerThreads and workerThreadCount - issue #35
  • Added TaskPool.threadCount property
  • Added an interface_index parameter to UDPConnection.addMembership
  • Task.tid can now be called on a const(Task)

1.2.0 - 2017-09-05

  • Compiles on DMD 2.071.2 up to 2.076.0
  • Marked a number of classes as final that were accidentally left as overridable
  • Un-deprecated GenericPath.startsWith due to the different semantics compared to the replacement suggestion
  • Added a listenUDP(ref NetworkAddress) overload
  • Implemented the multicast related methods of UDPConnection - pull #34
  • HTMLLogger now logs the fiber/task ID
  • Fixed a deadlock caused by an invalid lock count in LocalTaskSemaphore (by Boris-Barboris) - pull #31
  • Fixed FileDescriptorEvent to adhere to the given event mask
  • Fixed FileDescriptorEvent.wait in conjunction with a finite timeout
  • Fixed the return value of FileDescriptorEvent.wait
  • Fixed handling of the periodic argument to the @system overload of setTimer

1.1.1 - 2017-07-20

  • Fixed/implemented TCPListener.stopListening
  • Fixed a crash when using NullOutputStream or other class based streams
  • Fixed a "dwarfeh(224) fatal error" when the process gets terminated due to an Error - pull #24
  • Fixed assertion error when NetworkAddress.to(Address)String is called with no address set
  • Fixed multiple crash and hanging issues with (Local)ManualEvent - pull #26

1.1.0 - 2017-07-16

  • Added a new debug hook setTaskCreationCallback
  • Fixed a compilation error for VibeIdleCollect
  • Fixed a possible double-free in ManualEvent that resulted in an endless loop - pull #23

1.0.0 - 2017-07-10

This is the initial release of the vibe-core package. The source code was derived from the original :core sub package of vibe.d and received a complete work over, mostly under the surface, but also in parts of the API. The changes have been made in a way that is usually backwards compatible from the point of view of an application developer. At the same time, vibe.d 0.8.0 contains a number of forward compatibility declarations, so that switching back and forth between the still existing vibe-d:core and vibe-core is possible without changing the application code.

To use this package, it is currently necessary to put an explicit dependency with a sub configuration directive in the DUB package recipe:

// for dub.sdl:
dependency "vibe-d:core" version="~>0.8.0"
subConfiguration "vibe-d:core" "vibe-core"

// for dub.json:
"dependencies": {
	"vibe-d:core": "~>0.8.0"
},
"subConfigurations": {
	"vibe-d:core": "vibe-core"
}

During the development of the 0.8.x branch of vibe.d, the default will eventually be changed, so that vibe-core is the default instead.

Major changes

  • The high-level event and task scheduling abstraction has been replaced by the low level Proactor abstraction eventcore, which also means that there is no dependency to libevent anymore.
  • GC allocated classes have been replaced by reference counted structs, with their storage backed by a compact array together with event loop specific data.
  • @safe and nothrow have been added throughout the code base, @nogc in some parts where no user callbacks are involved.
  • The task/fiber scheduling logic has been unified, leading to a major improvement in robustness in case of exceptions or other kinds of interruptions.
  • The single Path type has been replaced by PosixPath, WindowsPath, InetPath and NativePath, where the latter is an alias to either PosixPath or WindowsPath. This greatly improves the robustness of path handling code, since it is no longer possible to blindly mix different path types (especially file system paths and URI paths).
  • Streams (InputStream, OutputStream etc.) can now also be implemented as structs instead of classes. All API functions accept stream types as generic types now, meaning that allocations and virtual function calls can be eliminated in many cases and function inlining can often work across stream boundaries.
  • There is a new IOMode parameter for read and write operations that enables a direct translation of operating system provided modes ("write as much as possible in one go" or "write only if possible without blocking").
