Description

vere-v4.5 is a minor release with one specific bugfix targeted specifically at ships running in kubernetes clusters:

The spin hint introduced in vere-v4.0 uses posix shared memory which is shared between containers in a kubernetes pod by default. This creates opportunities for multiple ships to thrash each others spin hint pages, usually resulting in both ships crashing. To prevent this we now key the shared memory by ship name in addition to process id.

What's Changed

• build: update libnatpmp source url by @dozreg-toplud in #1033
• trace: key spin hint with ship name in addition to process id by @pkova in #1039

Description

vere-v4.4 declares compatibility with the upcoming 408k arvo release and contains support for ford lightning. It also contains several bugfixes and improvements for the directed messaging driver in preparation for migrating the network to the new protocol. We also significantly improve initial boot times on windows by pre-allocating the http response buffer for the pill.

Full Changelog: vere-v4.3...vere-v4.4

Description

vere-v4.3 is a minor release with the following highlighted fixes and features:

• The runtime now supports gzip compression of http responses, causing significant speedups for the tlon app.
• The windows build would immediately crash when receiving a directed messaging packet because of an improperly vendored libblake3 dependency.
• The lmdb version used by vere-v4.2 and below did not support sparse files on windows, causing the event log to balloon to 63 GB immediately on boot.

Full Changelog: vere-v4.2...vere-v4.3

Description

vere-v4.2 is a minor release fixing the following regression from vere-v4.1 yesterday:

Shutting down a ship would simultaneously unmount all desks from the host system. The user would have to |unmount and |mount the desks after starting the ship to get them remounted.

Note that even with the issue fixed users will have to |unmount and |mount the desks they want mounted once.

Description

• Fixes a false positive from double boot protection when there are multiple messages in flight.
• Fixes the -X argument that allows you to scry into a pier without starting it.

Full Changelog: vere-v3.4...vere-v3.5

Description

This minor runtime release fixes three issues:

• If the vere process got killed during initial boot from keyfile the ship would perform extremely poorly until it got melded
• A long-standing issue where some ships were unable to use the meld subcommand.
• A misconfigured openssl build on aarch64 caused a segfault when using the HTTP client to connect to a site using tls 1.3. This was most trivially reproduced in the dojo by doing +https://facebook.com. Note that this bug did not affect x86_64.

What's Changed

• mars: really don't install the ivory pill in the serf by @pkova in #813
• build: work around zig linker bug in macos-aarch64 openssl assembly by @pkova in #815
• zig v0.14.0 redux by @matthew-levan in #792
• zig: new hash format by @quodss in #817
• vere: adds melt, rewrites meld for efficiency by @joemfb in #632
• Release vere-v3.4 by @pkova in #822

Full Changelog: vere-v3.3...vere-v3.4

Description

vere-v3.3 is a bugfix release for a regression introduced in vere-v3.2. The new directed messaging driver was assigned an incorrect driver priority which means that ames packets will always be handled before terminal keystrokes or HTTP requests, exactly the opposite of the intended behavior. This would mean that ships getting spammed with ames packets would appear significantly less responsive than before.

This bugfix release restores the ames packet priority to be low and fixes a HTTP caching bug found by ~migrev-dolseg.

What's Changed

• http: only check cache on GET requests by @will-hanlen in #806
• auto: fix driver priority by @pkova in #807
• Release vere-v3.3 by @pkova in #808

New Contributors

• @will-hanlen made their first contribution in #806

Full Changelog: vere-v3.2...vere-v3.3

Description

vere-v3.2 brings the following highlighted features:

• Compatibility with the upcoming zuse 410 kelvin release.
• A directed messaging driver for 1-3 orders of magnitude faster networking performance.
• Lagoon jets for native matrix math in Urbit.
• Double boot protection to prevent the most common cause of irrecoverable ship failure.
• Loom memory usage statistics in Arvo to help hosting providers and provide a foundation for zero click maintenance.
• HTTP scry streaming for serving individual chunks of large files over HTTP.

Note that all these features are dependent on the 410k Arvo release.

Moon keyfiles generated with Arvo versions of 411 or above are not compatible with vere-v3.2. To recreate an old moon keyfile, upgrade Arvo to 410 first and then do |moon-cycle-keys <moon-name>. This only applies to the moon keyfiles, previously booted moons can upgrade to vere-v3.2 without issue.
