RSBag 0.13

This RSBag release is available in the following forms:

  • Source archives
  • Pre-compiled self-installing archives or executable binaries
  • Debian packages for different Ubuntu GNU/Linux versions

These can be downloaded from the 0.13 jobs on the continuous integration server or repository server respectively. Installation instructions and links for downloading can be found on the preparation page of the RSBag manual.

As always, bugs, feature requests and enhancement proposals can be reported in the issue tracker.

Changes

  • Commandline Interface
    • Symbolic-link-based invocation and selection of sub-commands is no longer supported.
    • A new introspect command for gathering introspection information from log files and displaying (or otherwise processing) it has been added.
  • TIDELog backend
    • Peak memory usage for both reading and writing log files has been reduced.
    • Read and write performance have been improved.
    • Indices are now flushed while writing log files resulting in mostly constant memory use. With this improvement, the maximum size of recordings should in practice only be limited by available disk space.
  • Recording
  • Remote Interface
  • Python Client API
    • The library now connects to bag play without any racy hacks. Establishing connections is therefore faster and no longer fails randomly.

RSBag 0.12

This RSBag release is available in the following forms:

  • Source archives
  • Pre-compiled self-installing archives or executable binaries
  • Debian packages for different Ubuntu GNU/Linux versions

These can be downloaded from the 0.12 jobs on the continuous integration server or repository server respectively. Installation instructions and links for downloading can be found on the preparation page of the RSBag manual.

As always, bugs, feature requests and enhancement proposals can be reported in the issue tracker.

Changes

  • Commandline Interface

    • All tools now use sub-command-based commandline syntax like git, svn and other modern commandline tools. The previous symbolic-link-based invocation will continue to work for a transition period. Example of the new syntax:

      rsbag-toolscl0.12 record -o file.tide socket:

RSBag 0.10

Note

This RSBag release is only available in source code form from the repository server.

We no longer accept bug reports against this RSBag version.

Changes

  • Commandline Interface
    • The commandline options --start-time, --end-time, --start-index, --end-index have been improved: negative real values are relative to the end of the recording, mapping of timestamps to indices is more accurate and robust.
    • The recorded-timing replay strategy now accepts a :max-delay option to produce gap-less replays despite pauses in the recorded data.
  • Logging is now implemented using a more robust and more efficient implementation. The user-visible interface remains unchanged.
  • Elan backend
    • The backend can now create log files from scratch.
    • The following elements are now supported: HEADER/FORMAT, HEADER/VERSION, AUTHOR, LINGUISTIC_TYPE.
  • TIDELog backend
    • Corruption when creating new channels while under heavy load has been fixed.
    • Read, write and recovery performance has been improvement.
      • In particular, performance when reading log files with many small chunks has been improved.
    • Error reports and error recovery have been improved:
      • Corrupt channels can now be partially reconstructed.
      • Recovery from missing indices and corrupt chunks is much more robust.
