0.3.0 'Hempcrete & Hawthorn'

Released 2025-01-30.

Breaking changes

• In the embedded roto the define and apply blocks are gone. Users can now define variables and functions throughout the script.

• Arguments to filter-maps in roto have changed: some of them are now implicit.

  See the bundled example in etc/examples for more details.

New

• In the roto language users can now assign variables and functions through the use of let statements anywhere in a roto script.
• In roto, in addition to the breaking changes, there now is support for constants and strings. This enables, amongst other things, customizable logging.
  Several other helper methods on the various types, including ones to format fields to strings, are introduced.
• The new file-out target enables logging to a file in JSON or CSV format.
  Several helpers to log specific features are available, as well as the aforementioned custom logging via strings.
• The mrt-file-in unit can now be configured to process multiple files in sequence, and is able to process the most common message types seen in update MRT files. Furthermore, .bz2 compressed archives can be processed.
  A new API endpoint enables queueing of files.
• Upon re-establishment of a previous BMP session, the previous session information is looked up and re-used. This should reduce memory use, and moreover, prevent confusing results when querying prefixes.
• BMP messages originating from a LocRib are now recognized and stored.

Bug fixes

• Several metric counters were not increased properly.

Known issues

• The "more_specifics" field in a query result may include wrong prefixes.

Other changes

• We no longer build binary packages for Debian 9 "Stretch" and Ubuntu 16.04
  LTS "Xenial Xerus".

Acknowledgements

We would like to very much thank the following people for their (ongoing) input and support in various ways: Tobias Fiebig, Ties de Kock, Lisa Bruder, Ralph Koning, Bruno Blanes.

v0.2.1

Released 2024-12-06

Bug Fixes

• A non-monotonic clock measurement caused some threads to panic (under
  unknown conditions). These measurements now use a monotonic clock, that can
  not panic.
• The packaged filters.roto.example contained wrongly ordered parameters in
  its filter definitions, resulting in them not being executed. The orders are
  fixed and logging is added.

New

• The MRT component can now read gzipped files. Decompression is triggered for
  files with the '.gz' extension.

Other changes

• A zero-length sysName in a BMP InitiationMessage caused all subsequent
  messages to be marked as hard fails. We now warn on such empty values but
  proceed as usual, because the sysName is not crucial to the process in
  any way.
