Changed

• Use context.Context storage for headers so thrift.Context and tchannel.ContextWithHeaders can be passed to functions that use context.Context, and have them retain headers.
• thrift.Server allows a custom factory to be used for thrift.Context creation based on the underlying context.Context and headers map.
• Store goroutine stack traces on channel creation that can be accessed via introspection.

Added

• #228: Add registered methods to the introspection output.
• Add ability to set a global handler for a SubChannel.

Fixed

• Improve handling of network failures during pending calls. Previously, calls would timeout, but now they fail as soon as the network failure is detected.
• Remove ephemeral peers with closed outbound connections.
• #233: Ensure errors returned from Thrift handlers have a non-nil value.

1.0.3 (2016-02-15)

Added

• Introspection now includes information about all channels created in the current process.

Changed

• Improved performance when writing Thrift structs
• Make closing message exchanges less disruptive, changes a panic due to closing a channel twice to an error log.

Changed

• Extend the ContextBuilder API to support setting the transport-level routing delegate header.
• Assorted logging and test improvements.

Fixed

• Set a timeout when making new outbound connections to avoid hanging.
• Fix for #196: Make the initial Hyperbahn advertise more tolerant of transient timeouts.

Added

• Peers can now be removed using PeerList.Remove.
• Add ErrorHandlerFunc to create raw handlers that return errors.
• Retries try to avoid previously selected hosts, rather than just the host:port.
• Create an ArgReader interface (which is an alias for io.ReadCloser) for symmetry with ArgWriter.
• Add ArgReadable and ArgWritable interfaces for the common methods between calls and responses.
• Expose Thrift binary encoding methods (thrift.ReadStruct, thrift.WriteStruct, thrift.ReadHeaders, thrift.WriteHeaders) so callers can easily send Thrift payloads over the streaming interface.

Fixed

• Bug fix for #181: Shuffle peers on PeerList.Add to avoid biases in peer selection.

Added

• First stable release.
• Support making calls with JSON, Thrift or raw payloads.
• Services use thrift-gen, and implement handlers with a func(ctx, arg) (res, error) signature.
• Support retries.
• Peer selection (peer heap, prefer incoming strategy, for use with Hyperbahn).
• Graceful channel shutdown.
• TCollector trace reporter with sampling support.
• Metrics collection with StatsD.
• Thrift support, including includes.
