Release Notes

NuGet packages for the last good build on master are available via AppVeyor (see Artifacts) or the nuget feed is https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/paramore-brighter-m289d49fraww. The simplest way to work with this is to use the Nuget Feed, which is every successful build, So

When we push a collection of functionality it is available via nuget.org and symbol files are published to symbolsource.org

This section lists features in master, available by AppVeyor, but not yet deployed to nuget.org.

Master

Release 9.3.0

• Bug with DynamoDb Outbox and the Outbox Sweeper fixed. The Sweeper required a topic argument supplied by a dictionary of args
  • Required adding a Dictionary to various interfaces, which defaults to null, hence the minor version bump as these interfaces have new capabiities
• Internal change to move outstanding message box to a semaphore slim over a mutex as thread-safe. Not strictly neededm, but follows our policy of moving to semaphore slim
• Changes to the DynamoDb Outbox implementation as Outstanding Message check was not behaving as expected
• The interfaces around Outbox configuration will likely change in v10 to avoid current split and need to configure on both publication and outbox

Release 9.1.20

• Bug with Kafka Consumer failing to commit offsets fixed. Caused by Monitor being used for a lock on one thread and released on another, which does not work. Replaced with SemaphoreSlim.
• Behavior of Kafka Consumer offset sweep changed. It now runs every x seconds, and not every x seconds since a flush. This will cause it to run more frequently, but it is easier to reason about.

Release 9.1.14

• Fixed missing negation operator when checking for AWS resources

Release 9.1.14

• Renamed MessageStore to Outbox and CommandStore to Inbox for clarity with well-known pattern names outside this team
  • Impact is wide, namespaces, class names and project names, so this is a BREAKING CHANGE
  • Mostly you can search and replace to fix
• Added support for a global inbox via a UseInbox configuration parameter to the Command Processor
  • Will insert an Inbox in all pipelines
  • Can be overriden by a NoGlobalInbox attribute for don't add to pipeline, or an alternative UseInbox attribute to vary config
• The goal here is to be clearer than our own internal names, which don't help folks who were not part of this team
• The Outbox now fills up if a producer fails to send. You can set an upper limit on your producer, which is the maximum outstanding messages that you want in the Outbox before we throw an exception. This is not the same as Outbox size limits or sweeper, which is seperate and mainly intended if you don't want the Outbox limit to fail-fast on hitting a limit but keep accumulating results
• Added caching of attributes on target handlers in the pipeline build step
  • This means we don't do reflection every time we build the pipeline for a request
  • We do still always call the handler factory to instantiate as we don't own handler lifetime, implementer does
  • We added a method to clear the pipeline cache, particularly for testing where you want to test configuration scenarios
• Added ability to persist RabbitMQ messages
• Added subscription to blocked/unblocked RMQ channel events. A warning log is created when a channel becomes blocked and an info log is generated when the channel becomes unblocked.
• Improved the Kafka Client. It now uses the publisher/creator model to ensure that a message is in Brighter format i.e. headers as well as body; updated configuration values; generally improved reliability. This is a breaking change with previous versions of the Kafka client.
• The class BrighterMessaging now only has a default constructor and now has setters on properties. Use the initializer syntax instead - new BrighterMessage{} to avoid having redundant constructor arguments.
• Changes to how we configure transports - renaming classes and extending their functionality
  • Connection is renamed to Subscription
  • Added a matching Publication for producers
  • Base class includes the attributes that Brighter Core (Brighter & ServiceActivator) need
  • Derived classes contain transport specific details
  • On SQSConnection, renamed VisibilityTimeout to LockTimeout to more generically describe its purpose seperated from GatewayConfiguration, that now has a marker interface, used to connect to the Gateway and not about how we publish or subscribe
  • We now have the option to declare infastructure separately and Validate or Assume it exists, still have an option to Create which is the default
  • We think it will be most useful for environments like AWS where there is a price to checking (HTTP call, and often looping through results)
  • Added support for a range of parameters that we did not have before such as dead letter queues, security etc via these platform specific configuration files
• Provided a short form of the BrighterMessaging constructor, that queries object provided for async versions of interfaces
