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 9.1.14

  • 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
  • Changed IsAsync to RunAsync on a Subscription for clarity
  • Supports an async pipeline: callbacks should happen on the same thread as the handler (and the pump), avoiding thread pool threads
  • Fixed issue in SQlite with SQL to mark a message as dispatched

Release 8.1.1399

  • Update nuget libs
  • RabbitMQ 6.*
  • Fix correlationid no been sent correctly when using SqlCommandStore

Release 8.1.1036

  • Fixes issue when a rabbitmq connection is dropped it sometimes ends up with 2 connections and then does not dispose the ghost connection.
  • Fix for System.InvalidOperationException: You cannot enqueue more items than the buffer length #846
  • fix for Suppress and log BrokerUnreachableException during ResetConnection #502

Release 8.0.*

  • Added SourceLink debugging and are shipping .pdb files in the nuget package.
  • Strong Name in line with Open Source guidance https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/library-guidance/strong-naming. Where libraries we rely on are not strong named we don't strong name our code.
  • Removed IAmAPolicyRegistry and replaced it with IPolicyRegistry<string> from Polly, it is a drop in replacement but in a the Polly namespace.
  • Removed our PolicyRegistry and now use the PolicyRegistry from Polly, it is a drop in replacement but in a the Polly namespace.
  • Support for Feature Switches on handlers
  • Switch Command Sourcing Handler to using an Exists method when checking for duplicate messages
  • Rewritten AWS SQS + SNS transport
  • Support for DynamoDB Message and Command Stores (Jonny Olliff-Lee @DevJonny)
  • Added a Call() method to CommandProcessor to support Request-Reply
  • Add a context field to the command store, to allow identification of a context, and share a table across multiple handlers. Note that this is a breaking schema change for users of the command store
  • Command Sourcing handler now writes to store only once the handler has successfully completed
  • Renamed InputChannelFactory to ChannelFactory as we don't have an OutputChannelFactory any more (and not for some time)
  • Channel buffer now only source for message pump, populated via consumer when empty
  • Consumers now return an array of messages, default size of 1 but can be up to 10
  • Switch RMQ Consumers back to basic consume to support batch delivery
  • RMQ now supports batch sizes of up to 10 for consuming messages
  • SNS+SQS now supports batch sizes of up to 10 for consuming messages
  • Added support for the Outbox pattern via DepositPost and ClearPostBox
  • Fixed BrighterCommand#156 to allow different exchange types to be set (was broken by support of delayed exchange)

Release 7.4.0

  • Updated to signed version of Polly, works with netcore2.1.
  • Fix for Sql CommandStore.
  • Fixes to make flaky tests stable.

Release 7.3.0

  • Added beta Support for a Redis transport
  • Support for Binding a channel to multiple topics
  • RMQ Transport: Fixed handling of socket timeout where node we are connected to (not master) partitions from cluster and is paused under the pause minority strategy. Now resets connection successfully.
  • RMQ Transport: Fixed issue with OperationInterrupted exception when master node partitions and we are connected to it
  • Overall improved reliability of Brighter RMQ transport when connecting to a cluster that experiences a partition
  • Fixed an issue where multiple performers did not have distinct names and so could not be tracked
  • RMQ changed from push rabbit consumer to just simple pull based.

Release 7.2.0

  • Support for PostgreSql Message Store (Tarun Pothulapati @Pothulapati)
  • Support for MySql Message and Command Stores (Derek Comartin @dcomartin)
  • Support for Kafka Messaging Gateway - Beta (Wayne Hunsley @whunsley)
  • Support for MSSql Messaging Gateway - Beta (Fred Hoogduin @Red-F)

Release 7.1.0

  • Fixes issue with high CPU when failing to connect to RabbitMQ.
  • Fixes missing High Availability setting, had to make changes to IAmAChannelFactory.

Release 7.0.137 - 7.0.143

  • Support for .NET Core (NETSTANDARD 1.5)

Breaking Changes

  • Configuration no longer supports XML based config sections. We use data structures instead, and expect you to configure mostly in code, initializing those data structures from your config system of choice yourself. We recommend following 12-Factor Apps guidelines and preferring enviroment variables for items that vary by environment over XML or JSON based configuration files. (We may consider providing config sections in Contrib again, please feedback if this is a critical issue for you. PRs welcome.)
  • Dropped CommandProcessor from namespaces and folder names, to shorten, and remove semantic issue that it is not just a Command Processor
  • Changed namespaces and folders to be CamelCase
  • As a result, your using statements will need revision with this release
  • Some namespaces i.e Paramore.Brighter.Policy changed to avoid clashes now CamelCase (has become Paramore.Brighter.Policies)

Release 6.1.0

  • Support for binary message payloads i.e. not just text/plain for JSON or XML. Current support is modelled around use of protobuf over RMQ

Release 6.0.28

Fix issue with encoding of non-string types and transmission of correlation id BrighterCommand#180

Release 6.0.6

  • Increase logging level when we stop reading from a queue that cannot be readhttps://github.com/BrighterCommand/pull/179
  • Peformance issue caused by creation of a logger per requesthandler instance. The logger is now static, but is initialized lazily and can be overridden for TDD or legacy compatibility

Release 6.0.0

Breaking Changes

  • CommandProcessorBuilder no longer takes .Logger(logger)
  • In the abstract RequestHandler logger is now Logger
  • RequestLogging has moved namespace to paramore.brighter.commandprocessor.logging.Attributes

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed issue #132: concurrent usages of the RabbitMQ messaging gateway would sometimes throw an exception
  • Fixed issue #134: We no longer use async/await in the command processor. This caused issues with ASP.NET synchronization contexts, resulting in a deadlock when waiting on the thread that was also being used to run the completion. See http://blog.stephencleary.com/2012/07/dont-block-on-async-code.html We wil revisit async when we write *Async versions of the CommandProcesor APIs suitable for using in hosts that can run async code without deadlocking their synchronization context.
  • Fixed issue 110: Where we want to log we have two constuctors. A constructor that directly takes an iLog that you provide either directly or via your ioC container; a constructor that defaults that to LogProvider.GetCurrentClassLogger
    • In Production code you should set up your log provider and use the constructors that do not take an ILog reference.
    • In Test code you should inject the ILog using a fake logger. We don't recommend testing log output, its an implementation detail, unless its an important part of your acceptance criteria for that behaviour.
    • This means that your production code should not need to take a direct dependency on Paramore's ILog implementation.
    • This is a BREAKING CHANGE because we remove the ability to inject the constructor via the *Builder objects, so as to remove the temptation to do that when you should rely on the LibLog framework to wrap your current logger.

Features:

  • Huge feature, Async; added support for SendAsync and PublishAsync to an IHandleRequestsAsync pipeline.
  • Basic support for publishing to Azure Service Bus with paramore.brighter.commandprocessor.messaginggateway.azureservicebus.

Release 5

Bug Fixes:

  • #100 CommandProcessor.Post fails with Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  • Fix RequeueMessage exhaustion to log ERROR.
  • #101 Updated Requeue method to send a message to a specific queue as opposed to a topic.
  • Added a message store write timeout and message gateway timeout on a post; perviously we wait indefinitely (bad Brighter team, no biscuit).
  • Replace Successor write-only property with SetSuccessor method.
  • Message Viewer, fixed startup issues.
  • Removed a few unused interfaces.
  • Correct exceptions namespace to actions.

Features:

  • A connection can now be flagged as isDurable in the configuration. Choosing isDurable when using RMQ as the broker will create a durable channel (i.e. does not die if no one is consuming it, and thus continues to subscribe to messages that match it's topic). We think there are sufficient trade-offs with a message store that allows replay to make this setting false by default, but have configured to allow users to make this choice dependent on the characteristics of their consumers (i.e. sufficiently intermittend that messages would be lost).
  • #92 Added Event Store Message Store implementation
  • #30 Changed RabbitMQ Messaging Gateway to support multiple performers per connection, fixing the pipeline errors from RabbitMQ Client
  • Added a UseCommandSourcing attribute that stores commands to a command store. This is the Event Sourcing paradigm described by Martin Fowler in http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/EventSourcing.html The term Command Sourcing refers to the fact that as described the pattern stores commands (instructions to change state) not events (the results of applying those commands).
    • This may result in a breaking change that the Id on IRequest requires a setter to allow it to be deserialized
  • Added MS SQL Command Store implementation
  • Added monitoring attribute, which fires message onto control bus
  • Cleaning up code so working with dnx and Portable will be easier
  • Message Viewer, Add paging
  • Update Code of Conduct to Contributor Covenant 1.1.0
  • Add DDL scripts to help create SQL based schemes

Remove and Depreciated:

  • Flag the method Repost on IAmACommandProcessor as obsolete, We will probably drop this in the next release. We suggest that you use the message store directly to retrieve a message and then call Post.
  • Dropped support for RavenDb as a message store, we feel EventStore covers this scenario better where non-relational stores are an option
  • Removed release branch. We just tag a release on master now, so this only existed to support an older version of the library that was pre the tagging strategy. Removed now as confusing to new users of the library.

Release 4.0.215

  1. Fixed an issue where you could not have multiple UsePolicy or FallbackPolicy attributes on a single handler.#
  2. We pool connections now, to prevent clients with large number of channels overwhelming servers.
  3. Add concept of delayed (deferred) message sending.
  4. Implement delayed requeuing using gateway support (when supported).
  5. Delayed message provider support for RabbitMQ using rabbitmq_delayed_message_exchange plugin (3.5+).
  6. Renamed RequeueException to DeferMessageAction and moved it into the command processor project.
  7. Fixed and issues with unhandled exceptions from handlers when an event is published not been logged correctly
  8. The first early version of a Message Store Viewer has been release as a zip file download

Release 3.0.129

  1. We now support a Fallback method on IHandleRequests which is intended to be used for compensating or emergency action when a Handle method cannot be executed. The [FallbackPolicy] attribute supports the pipeline calling the Fallback method for you, in the event of either any exception bubbling into the handler, or a broken circuit exception bubbling into the handler.
  2. Fix issue with RabbitMQ consumers running on a High Availability cluster not cancelling properly after cluster failover.
  3. Fixed bug with config section duplication BrighterCommand#52
  4. Added functionality so after a specified number of unacceptable message (unable to read from queue or map message) a connection is shutdown, by default unacceptable message are acked and dropped. BrighterCommand#51
  5. Move RequeueException to paramore.brighter.commandprocessor.exceptions (breaking change).

Release 3

  1. Refactored IAmAMessagingGateway into a IAmAMessageConsumer and IAmAMessageProducer to support differing approaches to producing and consuming messages for a particular flavour of Message-Oriented-Middleware. These changes are a breaking binary change for users of earlier versions.
    1. NOTE: IF YOU USE TASK QUEUES PLEASE SAVE YOUR SERVICEACTIVATORCONNECTIONS IN YOUR APP.CONFIG AS THE V2.0.1 BRIGHTER.SERVICEACTIVATOR UNINSTALL WILL DELETE THEM (FIXED FOR V3)
  2. Created an IAmAChannel abstraction to allow differing Application Layer dependencies for the Work Queue
  3. Upgraded Packages we depend on, including RabbitMQ. There is still an issue with our having a hard dependency on a RabbitMQ client that might vary from your RabbitMQ client version, but as a NuGet package there are few workarounds. We suggest building from source where this issue is problematic, for now.
  4. Significant stability improvements on the RabbitMQ client
    1. Fixed issues around re-connection of the client leading to lost messages.
    2. Fixed issues when explicitly closing and re-opening connections
    3. Provided support for a RequeueException to requeue messages that are 'out-of-time' to help with resequencing.
    4. We now dispose of channels aggressively on closure, instead of waiting for garbage collection
  5. Moved from Common.Logging to LibLog These changes are a breaking binary change for users of earlier versions.
  6. We now call Release for all RequestHandler<> derived handlers that we construct from an IAmAHandlerFactory, not just those that implement IDisposable.
  7. Note that the RestMS server is NOT ready for production usage. It's primary value, as of today, is an alternative to RabbitMQ for design purposes. It is hoped to produce a stable version for use as a ControlBus in a future release.
