ANN: system 0.3.1

[Daniel Szmulewicz]

Hello everybody, 

This is to announce that system version 0.3.1 is out! 

This is a minor update that ships with usability improvements. 

• Boot users will get better error messages when the system task is not configured properly. 
• The system task will produce better console output when it restarts the system.
• The system task accepts regexes and paths in the files argument.
• The system task can operate as a wrapper for tools.namespace. 

The last bullet point means that the system task can now be used even if your application doesn’t use Component. 

It will then simply track changes in your source code, and reload affected namespaces automatically. 

A demo project can be found here.

Also, this version ships with a couple of new readymade components. 

- Carmine/Redis PubSub (pattern channels)

- hara.io.scheduler

This release was made possible with the contributions of: 

• Daniel Higginbotham
  
• Martin Klepsch
  
• Vsevolod Romashov
  
• Fabrizio Ferrai
  
• Kenneth Ryall
  

Thank you so much!

 

If you don’t know what system is, here is the elevator pitch. 

System is a repository of components for Stuart Sierra’s Component

library. It features readymade components for frequently used

application dependencies like databases, http servers, etc.

System is also an auto reloading environment compatible with any

editor/IDE. It tries to ensure that your source code is always in-sync

with the application under development.

System achieves this goal by seamlessly wrapping and leveraging three

fundamental pieces: tools.namespace, Component and Boot.
