This file lists changes for the GoVPP releases.
09 September 2022

- Fixed data race in core.Connection.Close()
- Fix channel ID overlap
17 January 2022
- the generator code has been split into multiple packages:
- added support for VPP enumflags type
- previously required manual patches for generated code should no longer be needed
- many generated aliases were removed and referenced to
*_types
files for simpler reading - any types imported from other VPP API (
*_types.api
) files are now automatically resolved for generated Go code - marshal/unmarshal methods for memory client messages are now generated
- generated new helper methods for more convenient IP and MAC address conversion
- RPC service code is now generated into a separated file (
*_rpc.ba.go
) in the same directory and uses a new low level stream API - added option to generate HTTP handlers for RPC services
- generated code now contains comments with information about versions of VPP and binapi-generator
- in addition to the file name, the binapi generator now accepts full path (including extension,
e.g.
/usr/share/vpp/api/core/vpe.api.json
) - dependency on
github.com/lunixbochs/struc
was removed - generated helper methods for
vpe_types.Timestamp
- generated API messages comment may contain additional information about the given API development state (in progress, deprecated)
- type
[]bool
is now known to the generator - enhanced VPP version resolution - the generator is more reliable to evaluate installed VPP version
- socketclient was optimized and received a new method to add client name
- added new API stream for low-level access to VPP API
- the
Stream
API uses the same default values as theChannel
API - it supports the same functional options (request size, reply size, reply timeout)
- the
- statsclient supports additional options (retry period, retry timeout)
- the compatibility check error now contains a list of compatible and incompatible messages wrapped
as
CompatibilityError
- removed global binary API adapter. This change allows GoVPP to manage multiple VPP connections with different sockets simultaneously
- added support for the stats v2. The
statsclient
adapter recognizes the version automatically so theStatsAPI
remains unchanged. In relation to this change, the legacy support (i.e. stat segment v0) for VPP <=19.04 was dropped. - GoVPP now recognizes VPP state
NotResponding
which can be used to prevent disconnecting in case the VPP hangs or is overloaded - added method
SetLogger()
for setting the global logger StatsAPI
has a new methodGetMemory()
retrieving values related to the statseg memory heap- the stats socket allows an option to connect asynchronously in the same manner as the API socket connection.
Use
AsyncConnectStats()
to receiveConnectionEvent
notifications - Instead of a cumulative value, the
statsclient
error counter now provides a value per worker ListStats(patterns ...string)
returnsStatIdentifier
containing the message name and the ID (instead of the name only)- added support for VPP stat symlinks
- GoVPP received its own API trace. See the example for more details.
MsgCodec
will recover panic occurring during a message decoding- calling
Unsubscibe
will close the notification channel - GoVPP omits to send
sockclnt_delete
while cleaning up socket clients in order to remove VPP duplicated close complaints - VPP handles it itself - fixed major bug causing GoVPP to not receive stats updates after VPP restart
- fixed name conflict in generated union field constructors
- the size of unions composed of other unions is now calculated correctly
- fixed race condition in the VPP adapter mock
- fixed crash caused by the return value of uint kind
- fixed encoding/decoding of float64
- fixed the stats reconnect procedure which occasionally failed re-enable the connection.
- fixed occasional panic during disconnect
statsclient
wait for socket procedure works properly- fixed memory leak in health check
- improved log messages to provide more relevant info
- updated extras/libmemif to be compatible with the latest VPP changes
- default health check parameter was increased to 250 milliseconds (up from 100 milliseconds), and the default threshold was increased to 2 (up from 1)
- improved decoding of message context (message evaluation uses also the package path, not just the message ID)
statsclient
now recognizes between empty stat directories and does not treat them as unknown- proxy client was updated to VPP 20.05
- added more code samples of working with unions in binapi-types
- added profiling mode to perf bench example
- improved simple client example to work properly even with multiple runs
- added multi-vpp example displaying management of two VPP instances from single application
- added stream-client example showing usage of the new stream API
- simple client and binapi-types examples show usage of
the
vpe_types.Timestamp
- added API trace example
