2.6.1 (2015-09-15)

  • Add optional arguments for settings in ip v6 and v4 connects (#170, by @Drup)
  • Expose Ipv4.Routing.No_route_to_destination_address (#166, by @yomimono)

2.6.0 (2015-07-29)

  • ARP now handles ARP frames, not Ethernet frames with ARP payload (#164, by @hannesm)
  • Check length of received ethernet frame to avoid cstruct exceptions (#117, by @hannesm)
  • Pull arpv4 module out of ipv4. Also add unit-tests for the newly created ARP library (#155, by @yomimono)

2.5.1 (2015-07-07)

  • Fix regression introduced in 2.5.0 where packet loss could lead to the connection to become very slow (#157, MagnusS, @talex5, @yomimono and @balrajsingh)
  • Improve the tests: more logging, more tracing and compile to native code when available, etc (@MagnusS and @talex5)
  • Do not raise Invalid_argument("Lwt.wakeup_result") everytime a connection is closed. Also now pass the raised exceptions to Lwt.async_exception_hook instead of ignoring them transparently, so the user can decide to shutdown its application if something wrong happens (#153, #156, @yomomino and @talex5)
  • The channel library now lives in a separate repository and is released separately (#159, @samoht)

2.5.0 (2015-06-10)

  • The test runs now produce .pcap files (#141, by @MagnusS)
  • Strip trailing bytes from network packets (#145, by @talex5)
  • Add tests for uniform packet loss (#147, by @MagnusS)
  • fixed bug where in case of out of order packets the ack and window were set incorrectly (#140, #146)
  • Properly handle RST packets (#107, #148)
  • Add a Log module to control at runtime the debug statements which are displayed (#142)
  • Writing in a PCB which does not have the right state now returns an error instead of blocking (#150)

2.4.3 (2015-05-05)

  • Fix infinite loop in Channel.read_line when the line does not contain a CRLF sequence (#131)

2.4.2 (2015-04-29)

  • Fix a memory leak in Channel (#119, by @yomimono)
  • Add basic unit-test for channels (#119, by @yomimono)
  • Add alcotest testing templates
  • Modernize Travis CI scripts

2.4.1 (2015-04-21)

  • Merge between 2.4.0 and 2.3.1

2.4.0: (2015-03-24)

  • ARP improvements (#118)

2.3.1 (2015-03-31)

  • Do not raise an assertion if an IP frame has extra trailing bytes (#221).

2.3.0 (2015-03-09)

  • Fix STACKV4 for the DEVICE signature which has connect removed (in Mirage types 2.3+).

2.2.3 (2015-03-09)

  • Add ICMPv6 error reporting functions (#101)
  • Add universal IP address converters (#108)
  • Add error_message functions for human-readable errors (#98)
  • Improve debug logging for ICMP Destination Unreachable packets.
  • Filter incoming frames by MAC address to stop sending unnecessary RSTs. (#114)
  • Unhook unused modules Sliding_window and Profiler from the build. (#112)
  • Add an explicit connect method to the signatures. (#100)

2.2.2 (2015-01-11)

  • Readded tracing and ARP fixes which got accidentally reverted in the IPv6 merge. (#96)

2.2.1 (2014-12-20)

  • Use Bytes instead of String to begin the -safe-string migration in OCaml 4.02.0 (#93).
  • Remove dependency on uint to avoid the need for a C stub (#92).

2.2.0 (2014-12-18)

Add IPv6 support. This changeset minimises interface changes to the existing STACKV4 interfaces to faciliate a progressive merge. The only visible interface changes are:

  • IPV4.set_ipv4_* functions have been renamed IPV4.set_ip_* because they are shared between IPV4 and IPV6.
  • IPV4.get_ipv4 and get_ipv4_netmask now return a list of Ipaddr.V4.t (again because this is the common semantics with IPV6.)
  • Several types that had v4 in their names (like IPV4.ipv4addr) have lost that particle.

2.1.1 (2014-12-12)

  • Improve console printing for the DHCP client to output line breaks properly on Xen consoles.

2.1.0 (2014-12-07)

  • Build Xen stubs separately, with CFLAGS from mirage-xen 2.1.0+. This allows us to use the red zone under x86_64 Unix again.
  • Adding tracing labels and counters, which introduces a new dependency on the mirage-profile package.

2.0.3 (2014-12-05)

  • Fixed race waiting for ARP response (#86).
  • Move the the code that configures IPv4 address, netmask and gateways after receiving a successful lease out of the Dhcp_clientv4 module and into Stackv4 (#87)

2.0.2 (2014-12-01)

  • Add IPv4 multicast to MAC address mapping in IPv4 output processing (#81 from Luke Dunstan).
  • Improve formatting of DHCP console logging, including printing out options (#83).
  • Build with -mno-red-zone on x86_64 to avoid stack corruption on Xen (#80).

2.0.1 (2014-11-04)

  • Fixed race condition in the signalling between the rx/tx threads under load.
  • Experimentally switch to immediate ACKs in TCPv4 by default instead of delayed ones.

2.0.0 (2014-11-02)

  • Moved 1s complement checksum C code here from mirage-platform.
  • Depend on Console_unix and Console_xen instead of Console.
  • [socket] Do not return an Eof when writing 0-length buffer (#76).
  • [socket] Accept callbacks now run in async threads instead of being serialised (#75).

1.1.6 (2014-07-20)

  • Quieten down the stack logging rate by not announcing IPv6 packet discards.
  • Raise exception Bad_option for unparseable or invalid TCPv4 options (#57).
  • Fix linking error with module Tcp_checksum by lifting it into top library (#60).
  • Add opam file to permit easier local pinning, and fix Travis to use this.

1.1.5 (2014-06-18)

  • Ensure that DHCP completes before the application is started, so that unikernels that establish outgoing connections can do so without a race. (fix from Mindy Preston in #53, followup in #55)
  • Add echo, chargen and discard services into the examples/ directory. (from Mindy Preston in #52).

1.1.4 (2014-06-03)

  • [tcp] Fully process the last ACK in a 3-way handshake for server connections. This ensures that a FIN is correctly transmitted upon application-initiated connection close. (fix from Mindy Preston in #51).

1.1.3 (2014-03-01)

  • Expose IPV4 through the STACKV4 interface.

1.1.2 (2014-03-27)

  • Fix DHCP variable length option parsing for MTU responses, which in turns improves robustness on Amazon EC2 (fix from @yomimono via mirage/mirage-tcpip#48)

1.1.1 (2014-02-21)

  • Catch and ignore top-level socket exceptions (#219).
  • Set SO_REUSEADDR on listening sockets for Unix (#218).
  • Adapt the Stack interfaces to the v1.1.1 mirage-types interface (see mirage/mirage#226 for details).

1.1.0 (2014-02-03)

  • Rewrite of the library as a set of functors that parameterize the stack across the V1_LWT module types from Mirage 1.1.x. This removes the need to compile separate Xen and Unix versions of the stack.

0.9.5 (2013-12-08)

  • Build for either Xen or Unix, depending on the value of the OS envvar.
  • Shift to the mirage-types 0.5.0+ interfaces, which breaks the socket backend (temporarily).
  • Port the direct stack to the new interfaces.
  • Add Travis CI scripts.

0.9.4 (2013-08-09)

  • Use the Ipaddr external library and remove the Homebrew equivalents in Nettypes.

0.9.3 (2013-07-18)

  • Changes in module Manager: Removed some functions from the `.mli (plug/unplug) and added some modifications in the way the Manager interacts with the underlying module Netif. The Netif.create function does not take a callback anymore.

0.9.2 (2013-07-09)

  • Improve TCP state machine for connection teardown.
  • Limit fragment number to 8, and coalesce buffers if it goes higher.
  • Adapt to mirage-platform-0.9.2 API changes.

0.9.1 (2013-06-12)

  • Depend on mirage-platform-0.9.1 direct tuntap interfaces.
  • Version bump to catch up with mirage-platform.

0.5.2 (08-Feb-2013-02-03)

  • Encourage scatter-gather I/O all the time, rather than playing tricks with packet header buffers. This simplifies the output path considerably and cuts minor heap allocations down.
  • Install the packed cmx along with the cmxa to ensure that the compiler can do cross-module optimization (this is not a fatal error, but will impact performance if the cmx file is not present).

0.5.1 (20-Dec-2012-12-20)

  • Update socket stack to use Cstruct 0.6.0 API

0.5.0 (2012-12-20)

  • Update Cstruct API to 0.6.0
  • [tcp] write now blocks if the write buffer and write window are full

0.4.1 (2012-12-14)

  • Add iperf self-test that creates two VIFs and transmits across them. This is a useful local test which stresses the bridge code using just one VM.
  • Add support for attaching existing devices when initialising the network manager, via an optional attached parameter.
  • Constrain TCP connect to be a unit Lwt.t instead of a polymorphic return value.
  • Expose IPv4 netmask function.
  • Reduce ARP verbosity to the console.
  • Fix TCP fast recovery to wait until all in-flight packets are acked, rather then exiting early.

0.4.0 (11-Dec-2012-12-11)

  • Require OCaml-4.00.0 or higher, and add relevant build fixes to deal with module packing.

0.3.1 (2012-12-10)

  • Fix the DHCP client marshalling for IPv4 addresses.
  • Expose the interface MAC address in the Manager signature.
  • Tweak TCP ISN calculation to be more friendly on a 32-bit host.
  • Add Manager.create ?devs to control the number of Netif devices constructed by default.
  • Add Ethif.set/disable_promiscuous to permit directly tapping a network interface.

0.3.0 (2012-09-04)

  • Initial public release.
