2.1.0

  • Support multiple connections per node using aribtrary keys.

  • Add support for Linux and Darwin/macOS custom keepalive settings to detect socket issues faster.

2.0.1

  • Support external node driver/port discovery.

2.0.0

This release boasts a major rengineer/refactor of gen_rpc that includes quite a few new features:

  • The server and acceptor FSMs have been converted to gen_statem to follow Erlang's best practices and development. As a result, support for Erlang releases older than 19.1 has been dropped.

  • Specific options, leveraging Erlang 19, have been enabled such as off-heap mailboxes for client and acceptor, and higher priorities for all gen_rpc processes.

  • Ports are not dynamically assigned anymore as it shows that, after some research, offers no additional benefits to having a static port listener. That means less processes to supervise and less moving parts where something can go wrong.

  • Support for SSL has been added. Please refer to the README for more information on how to use it.

  • Module version control support has been added, effectively allowing you to only make RPC calls to nodes that run specific versions of modules.

  • lager support has been dropped in favor of the logging backend-agnostic library hut, in order to better support Elixir installations. The test suite and development profiles still use lager but this doesn't interfere with production deployments of gen_rpc.

  • Tests have been updated to test more edge cases, including new SSL functionality.

  • Some options in gen_rpc.app.src have changed names to better describe what they do. Again, pleaserefer to the README to verify your preexisting settings are consistent with their new names.

  • Various smaller bugs have been fixed and various responses have been massaged for consistency.

1.0.2

  • Implemented blacklisting/whitelisting of modules available for RPC.

  • Implemented abcast and sbcast support.

1.0.1

  • Updated documentation

  • Updated/optimized various TCP options

  • Updated tests to include more edge cases

  • Support client-configurable listener port per remote node

  • Small code refactoring and cleanup

1.0.0

This release drops the hybrid RPC/TCP approach and uses a separate TCP listener to emulate initial RPC communication. In addition, this release includes:

  • Updated documentation

  • Added integration tests using Docker
