User-visible changes in "magic-wormhole":
|
||||
|
||||
## Release 0.7.5 (?)
|
||||
|
||||
* The CLI tools now use the Twisted-based library exclusively.
|
||||
* The blocking-flavor "Transit" library has been removed. Transit is the
|
||||
bulk-transfer protocol used by send-file/send-directory, and is no
|
||||
longer used by the CLI tools (which have switched to twisted-flavor
|
||||
Transit). Upcoming protocol improvements (both performance and
|
||||
connectivity) proved too difficult to implement in a blocking fashion.
|
||||
* The Twisted-flavor "Wormhole" library now uses WebSockets to connect,
|
||||
rather than HTTP. The blocking-flavor library continues to use HTTP.
|
||||
"Wormhole" is the one-message-at-a-time relay-based protocol, and is
|
||||
used to set up Transit for the send-file and send-directory modes of
|
||||
the CLI tool.
|
||||
* Twisted-flavor input_code() now does readline-based code entry, with
|
||||
tab completion.
|
||||
* The code has been split into four separate importable packages:
|
||||
* "wormhole", this contains the blocking library and shared code
|
||||
* "txwormhole": twisted lbirary
|
||||
* "wormhole_cli": CLI scripts
|
||||
* "wormhole_server": code for the Rendezvous and Transit Relay servers
|
||||
* The package now installs two executables: "wormhole" (for send and
|
||||
receive), and "wormhole-server" (to start and manage the relay
|
||||
servers).
|
||||
* Packaging: magic-wormhole now depends upon "Twisted" and "autobahn".
|
||||
Autobahn pulls in txaio (a future version of magic-wormhole may work
|
||||
with txaio, but not yet). To work around a bug in autobahn, it also
|
||||
(temporarily) depends upon "pytrie". This dependency will be removed
|
||||
when the next autobahn release is available.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Release 0.7.0 (28-Mar-2016)
|
||||
|
||||
* `wormhole send DIRNAME/` used to deal very badly with the trailing slash
