v2.8.0

Significant Changes

• We now create and use .downloaded/.persistence directories where uplink was started from when the user has not otherwise configured the path.
• Uplink will check and ensure there is disk space to download file into, erring out otherwise.
• Uplink only retries downloads that failed due to network error, that too by continuing from where last attempt had failed at, instead of starting from scratch, but only upto 3 times.
• Code maintenance and readability improvements also included.

Full Changelog: v2.7.0...v2.7.1

v2.7.0

Significant Changes

• Uplink will start with a TCP interface on port 5050 by default if the tcpapps field is not defined in the config.toml.
• Uplink now supports triggering a download and then running the downloaded file as a shell script. This feature can be enabled with the following example config:

# Redirecting the download action to the script runner post download
action_redirections = { "send_script" = "run_script" }

# Configure the script runner to accept run_script actions
script_runner = [{ name = "run_script" }]

# Configure the downloader to accept send_script actions and download script into path
[downloader]
actions = [{ name = "send_script" }]
path = "/path/to/file"

What's Changed

• feat: built-in script runner by @de-sh in #252
• Logcat fixes by @amokfa in #250
• test: verify tunshell action pass-through by @de-sh in #263
• feat: default main on port 5050 if tcpapps unconfigured by @de-sh in #264

Full Changelog: v2.6.0...v2.7.0-react

v2.6.0

Significant Changes

• Uplink now flushes all streams waiting on bridge during shutdown and waits 5 seconds before shutting down, allowing the transmission or persistence of data. Previously any data left unflushed on bridge during shutdown would have been lost.
• Uplink will by default use the current directory instead of /var/lib/uplink, allowing for execution on platforms other than just linux.
• Uplink file-downloader(#258) and stat collector(#259) bug fixes and improvements.

What's Changed

• doc: update apps.md by @de-sh in #245
• argonaut workflow Setup : by @argonautbot in #249
• feat: force flush all streams before shutdown by @de-sh in #251
• fix: use flush_period instead of buf_size for important streams by @de-sh in #255
• Uplink should ignore save_current_action failures by @amokfa in #253
• fix: stop download on action timeout, don't drop action on resend by @de-sh in #258
• fix: glob error stopping stat collector by @de-sh in #259
• feat: use current_dir instead of /var/lib by @de-sh in #260

Full Changelog: v2.5.0...v2.6.0

v2.5.0

Significant Changes

• DeviceShadow collector that pushes onto device_shadow stream on regular intervals and updates device's network ping times. The following configuration can be added config.toml, to set the time interval between device shadow updation to be 30 seconds:

[device_shadow]
interval = 30 # time in seconds between each update

Note: the collector will push device_shadow with "latency": 10000(10s) if uplink encounters an error like network outage.

device_shadow JSON Array type as received by the platform

[{
  "sequence": Integer,
  "timestamp": Integer,
  "latency": Integer,
  "uplink_version": String
},
...]

• Spawning multiple Tunshell sessions is now possible through parallel launch_shell actions.
• OTAInstaller now expects an updater script/binary inside the tarball as the entry point.

What's Changed

• feat: Add scripts and examples for rpi by @sai-kiran-y in #237
• fix: Cleanup Code by @sai-kiran-y in #238
• set file perms by @amokfa in #240
• feat: collector to push ping latency updates on device_shadow stream by @de-sh in #236
• Generic installer by @amokfa in #241
• feat: parallelized actions run immediately by @de-sh in #239
• fix: bridge failure to shutdown on file permission denied by @de-sh in #243

New Contributors

• @sai-kiran-y made their first contribution in #237

Full Changelog: v2.4.0...v2.5.0

v2.4.0

Significant Changes

• Persisting actions on uplink shutdown allows users to temporarily halt uplink and restart it, without losing out on information with regards to the action that is in execution and hence allowing the user to bring back up both uplink and the external action handler, continuing action execution as if nothing had happened. This is possible because uplink stores action information along with all on-disk persistence files in the same directory, the diff for changes to support this is provided below:

+ persistence_path = "/path/to/dir"

[streams.stream_name]
topic = "/stream/topic"
buf_size = 100
- persistence = { path = "/path/to/dir", max_file_count = 3, max_file_size = 10485760 }
+ persistence = { max_file_count = 3, max_file_size = 10485760 }

What's Changed

• refactor: use VecDeque for readability by @de-sh in #227
• fix: update backup-deserializer to support uplink v2.3 by @de-sh in #233
• feat: current action persistence on abrupt shutdowns by @de-sh in #216
• feat: log processes by unit name in journalctl by @de-sh in #225
