amplet2-0.11.6

Note that deb packages for the new youtube test are only built for a subset of the distributions that the old one was. The new approach with this test will ultimately make it easier to build packages for more distributions (as well as rpm and win32), with support for them being added in future releases.

• throughput: use protobuf enums directly rather than duplicating within test.
• udpstream: use protobuf enums directly rather than duplicating within test.
• youtube: drive a chromium browser instance rather than being one.

Bugfixes:

• amplet2: fix linker errors from global variables in headers without extern.

amplet2-0.11.3

Changes

• server: depend on python3-ampsave rather than python-ampsave.
• server: add simpler interface to get data in ampsave.

Bugfixes

• amplet2: add missing dependency on procps.
• server: remove unnecessary dependency on python-protobuf.

amplet2-0.11.1

Changes:

• package: Build python2 and python3 versions of ampsave packages, splitting them from amplet2-server.
• package: Only build Debian SIP packages if dependency libpjproject-dev is available, rather than checking distribution name.

Bugfixes:

• amplet2: Fix checking getifaddrs() to correctly recognise success.
• package: Remove ampsave python code from client RPM packages.
• w32: Update the DLL name to the current library version.

amplet2-0.11.0

This release has two major changes - destinations that don't resolve are now included in the result set, and large portions of the code will now build/run under Windows. Windows packages are being built for testing purposes but won't be generally available at this stage.

Breaking changes:

• all tests: keep destinations that don't resolve (#4). Tests will now report an empty result with no address for names that don't resolve, when previously they were not present in the result set. Code that processes result data will need to deal appropriately with missing values in many result fields.

Changes:

• amplet2: use libunbound to manage the nametable (#45). Old style nametable will continue to work for now, though will
  generate deprecation warnings when used.
• amplet2: count empty files as missing, so certificates will be fetched.
• amplet2: experimental Windows build with icmp, dns, http tests, running both standalone and as a service.

Bugfixes:

• amplet2: add trailing ':' when setting interface using ub_ctx_set_option.

amplet2-0.10.6

Changes:

• amplet2: Replace function that waits for DNS responses with ub_wait().
• amplet2: Replace 32bit IPv6 accessors with 16bit ones when comparing addresses as that is more portable.
• amplet2: Remove unbound DNS context from global variable structure.
• http: Pass a string to the lexer rather than piping data to yyin.
• standalone tests: Call register function directly rather than using dlsym.

Bugfixes:

• http: Don't call libcurl functions from within libcurl callbacks.
