RobustIRC v0.2 release

[Michael Stapelberg]

Hey,

I’ve tagged the RobustIRC v0.2 release. Here are the release notes:

RobustIRC v0.2 (2015-05-22)

RobustIRC v0.2 contains the following changes:

• (a number of small bugfixes, see git changelog)

• Important bugfixes for issue #100 (deadlock)

• Important bugfixes for issue #115 (timeout handling)

• GetMessages will be aborted when nodes are partitioned, minimizing network unavailability

• GetMessages resuming was fixed for messages with more than one reply

• PostMessage limit was increased to cope with pathological cases with regards to JSON encoding

• Compaction was made significantly faster (O(hours) → O(minutes))

• IRC message routing was refactored, the previous approach did not work for all messages

• SVSJOIN, SVSPART and SVSHOLD were implemented for NickServ’s AJOIN and RECOVER commands

• KNOCK and NAMES were implemented

The known weakness of v0.1 with regards to compaction not covering all message types yet is still not entirely addressed (but slightly better already).
