@ -3,15 +3,50 @@ User-visible changes in "magic-wormhole":
## Release 0.10.0 (???)
The client-side code was completely rewritten with proper Automat state
machines. The only immediate user-visible consequence is that restarting
the rendezvous server no longer terminates all waiting clients, so
server upgrades are no longer quite so traumatic. In the future, this
will enable "Journaled Mode" (see the API docs for details).
The client-side code was completely rewritten, with proper Automat state
machines. The only immediately user-visible consequence is that
restarting the rendezvous server no longer terminates all waiting
clients, so server upgrades won't be quite so traumatic. In the future,
this will also support "Journaled Mode" (see docs/journal.md for
details). (#42, #68)
The programmatic API has changed (see docs/api.md). Stability is not
promised until we reach 1.0, but this should be close.
`wormhole send DIRECTORY` can now handle larger (>2GB) directories.
However the entire zipfile is built in-RAM before transmission, so the
maximum size is still limited by available memory (follow #58 for
progress on fixing this). (#138)
`wormhole rx --output-file=` for a pre-existing file will now overwrite
the file (noisily), instead of terminating with an error. (#73)
We now test on py3.6. Support for py3.3 was dropped. Magic-wormhole
should now work on NetBSD. (#158)
Added a Dockerfile to build a rendezvous/transit-relay server. (#149)
`wormhole-server --disallow-list` instructs the rendezvous server to not
honor "list nameplates" requests, effectively disabling tab-completion
of the initial numeric portion of the wormhole code, but also making DoS
attacks slightly easier to detect. (#53, #150)
`wormhole send --ignore-unsendable-files` will skip things that cannot
be sent (mostly dangling symlinks and files for which you do not have
read permission, but possibly also unix-domain sockets, device nodes,
and pipes). (#112, #161)
`txtorcon` is now required by default, so the `magic-wormhole[tor]`
"extra" was removed. Tor works on py3 now. (#136, #174)
`python -m wormhole` is an alternative way to run the CLI tool. (#159)
Thanks to Alex Gaynor, Atul Varma, dkg, JP Calderone, Kenneth Reitz,
Kurt Rose, maxalbert, meejah, midnightmagic, Robert Foss, Shannon
Mulloy, and Shirley Kotian, for patches and bug reports in this release
cycle. A special thanks to Glyph, Mark Williams, and the whole
#twisted crew at PyCon for help with the transition to Automat.
