PSync Release Notes

PSync version 0.3.0

The build requirements have been increased to require Clang >= 4.0, Xcode >= 9.0, and Python >= 3.6. Meanwhile, it is recommended to use GCC >= 7.4.0 and Boost >= 1.65.1. This effectively drops official support for Ubuntu 16.04 when using distribution-provided Boost packages – PSync may still work on this platform, but we provide no official support for it.

We have taken some steps to be endian safe but PSync is not completely endian safe yet (issue #4818)

New features

• breaking Consumer: change hello data callback to include sequence number (issue #5122)
• Support various compression schemes for compressing IBF and Sync Data (issue #5061)

Improvements and bug fixes

• breaking IBLT: make encoding endian safe (issue #5076)
• Reset cached wire encoding after adding names (issue #5083)
• Consumer reacts faster on sync Interest timeout (issue #5124)
• Move private classes and functions to psync::detail namespace
• Improved unit tests
