Unreleased

0.7.0 - 2023-09-22

Added

  • Add :max_retries option, to control how many times we should try to download a NIF artifact. By default it is going to try 3 times. To disable this feature, use the value 0.

  • Add support for variants. This is a feature that enables building for the same target with multiple configurations. It can support different features or OS dependencies. The selection is done in compile time.

Changed

  • Change default list of NIF versions to only include the version 2.15. This is because most of the users won't need to activate newer versions, unless they use features from those versions.

    This is going to simplify and speed up the release process for most of the projects.

0.6.3 - 2023-08-28

Fixed

  • Make sure :nif_versions option is respected.

    This is a small bug fix that was blocking the usage of a more restrict list of "NIF versions". For example, if my system is using NIF version 2.16, but I want to be compatible with only version 2.15, this was being ignored, since the algorithm for finding compatible versions was not taking into account this restriction.

0.6.2 - 2023-07-05

Added

  • Add support for FreeBSD as a target.

Changed

  • Remove :crypto from the extra applications list, because :ssl already includes it.

  • Update the guide to mention the new way to select a NIF version in Rustler >= 0.29.

0.6.1 - 2023-02-16

Changed

  • Depend on :ssl instead of :public_key application. Since :public_key is started with :ssl, this shouldn't break. This change is needed in order to support the upcoming Elixir 1.15.

0.6.0 - 2023-01-27

Added

  • Add support for configuring the NIF versions that the project supports. This can be done with the :nif_versions config.

  • Add support for castore version ~> 1.0.

Changed

  • Add aarch64-unknown-linux-musl and riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu as default targets. The first one is common for people running Linux containers that were built with Musl on Apple computers. The second one is becoming popular for tiny computers, normally running Nerves.

    The adoption of these targets can increase a little bit the compilation time, but can affect a great number of users.

    For package maintainers: please remember to add these targets to your CI workflow. See an example workflow at: https://github.com/philss/rustler_precompilation_example/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml

  • Change the depth of SSL peer verification to "3". This should be more compatible with servers.

  • Remove version "2.14" from the default NIF versions. Like the change of default targets, this should only have effect in the moment of release of a new package version. Remember to update your workflow file.

0.5.5 - 2022-12-10

Fixed

  • Add support for Suse Linux targets. This is a fix to the plataform resolution. Thanks @fabriziosestito.
  • Fix validation of HTTP proxy. This makes the validation similar to the HTTPS proxy. Thanks @w0rd-driven.
  • Map riscv64 to riscv64gc to match Rust naming. Thanks @fhunleth.

0.5.4 - 2022-11-05

Fixed

  • Fix building metadata when "force build" is enabled and the target is not available.

0.5.3 - 2022-10-19

Fixed

  • Always write the metadata file in compilation time, so mix tasks can work smoothly.

0.5.2 - 2022-10-03

Fixed

0.5.1 - 2022-05-24

Fixed

  • Fix available targets naming to include the NIF version in the name. It was removed accidentally. Thanks @adriankumpf.

0.5.0 - 2022-05-24

Added

Changed

  • The precompilation guide was improved with instructions and suggestions for the files key at the project config. Thanks @nbw.
  • Now we raise with a different error if the NIF artifact cannot be written when downloading to create the checksum file.

0.4.1 - 2022-04-28

Fixed

  • Fix __using__ macro for when Rustler is not loaded.

0.4.0 - 2022-04-28

Changed

  • Make Rustler an optional dependency. This makes installation faster for most of the users.

0.3.0 - 2022-03-26

Added

  • Add the possibility to skip the download of unavailable NIFs when generating the checksum file - thanks @fahchen

0.2.0 - 2022-02-18

Fixed

  • Fix validation of URL in order to be compatible with Elixir ~> 1.11. The previous implementation was restricted to Elixir ~> 1.13.

Added

  • Add :force_build option that fallback to Rustler. It passes all options except the ones used by RustlerPrecompiled down to Rustler. This option will be by default false, but if the project is using a pre-release, then it will always be set to true. With this change the project starts depending on Rustler.

Changed

  • Relax dependencies to the minor versions.

0.1.0 - 2022-02-16

Added

  • Add basic features to download and use the precompiled NIFs in a safe way.
