fstrm 0.6.1 released

fstrm is a C implementation of the Frame Streams data transport protocol. The 0.6.1 release includes these changes:

• fstrm_capture: ignore SIGPIPE, which will cause the interrupted connections to generate an EPIPE instead.
• Fix truncation in snprintf calls in argument processing.
• fstrm_capture: Fix output printf format.

fstrm 0.6.0

Version 0.6.0 of fstrm, a C implementation of the Frame Streams data transport protocol is released. It adds a new feature for fstrm_capture. It can perform output file rotation when a SIGUSR1 signal is received by fstrm_capture. (See the --gmtime or --localtime options.) This allows fstrm_capture's output file to be rotated by logrotate or a similar external utility. (Output rotation is suppressed if fstrm_capture is writing to stdout.)

fstrm 0.5.0

The C implementation of the Frame Streams data transport protocol, fstrm version 0.5.0, is released. Its changes include:

• Change license to modern MIT license for compatibility with GPLv2 software. Contact [email protected] for alternate licensing.

• src/fstrm_replay.c: For OpenBSD and Posix portability include netinet/in.h and sys/socket.h to get struct sockaddr_in and the AF_* defines respectively.

• Fix various compiler warnings.

fstrm 0.4.0

The C implementation of the Frame Streams data transport protocol, fstrm version 0.4.0, was released. It adds TCP support, a new tool, new documentation, and several improvements.

• Added manual pages for fstrm_capture and fstrm_dump.

• Added new tool, fstrm_replay, for replaying saved Frame Streams data
  to a socket connection.

• Adds TCP support. Add tcp_writer to the core library which
  implements a bi-directional Frame Streams writer as a TCP socket
  client. Introduces new developer API: fstrm_tcp_writer_init,
  fstrm_tcp_writer_options_init, fstrm_tcp_writer_options_destroy,
  fstrm_tcp_writer_options_set_socket_address, and
  fstrm_tcp_writer_options_set_socket_port.

• fstrm_capture: new options for reading from TCP socket.

• fstrm_capture: add "-c" / "--connections" option to limit the
  number of concurrent connections it will accept.

• fstrm_capture: add "-b / --buffer-size" option to set the read buffer
  size (effectively the maximum frame size) to a value other than the
  default 256 KiB.

• fstrm_capture: skip oversize messages to fix stalled connections
  caused by messages larger than the read highwater mark of the input
  buffer. Discarded messages are logged for the purposes of tuning
  the input buffer size.

• fstrm_capture: complete sending of FINISH frame before closing
  connection.

• Various test additions and improvements.
