1 Cubemap 1.4.0, 2018-09-01
3 * NOTE: Cubemap now requires a C++11 compiler. Also, live upgrades
4 from Cubemap before version 1.2.0 is no longer supported (upgrade
5 through 1.3.2 first if this is a problem for you).
7 * Support for TLS 1.2, through the tlse library (a lightly patched
8 version is included) and kTLS. This requires Linux >= 4.17.
10 * Support for fMP4 (HLS), including generating playlists on-the-fly.
11 This requires an input Metacube stream generated by Nageru >= 1.7.2.
12 See cubemap.config.sample for an example.
14 * Fix an issue that would cause problems with UDP inputs on reload
15 (unless their source encoding was explicitly marked as raw).
18 Cubemap 1.3.2, 2017-05-24
20 * Fix a bug where streams with paths exactly seven characters long
21 (e.g. “/abc.ts”) would get broken buffering behavior, as they would
22 start at the start of the backlog, not the end as they should.
23 This caused massively increased latency and/or problems playing back
27 Cubemap 1.3.1, 2016-07-23
29 * Support Metacube timestamp blocks. This allows Metacube producers
30 to add timestamps at arbitrary places between blocks, which,
31 provided that the system clocks on both sides are in sync, allows
32 Cubemap to produce a latency measure. If the latency is very high
33 (and/or keeps going up), you will know that the network has problems
34 keeping up with transporting the stream, even in the absence of
37 At the time of release, only Nageru adds timestamp blocks;
41 Cubemap 1.3.0, 2016-07-14
43 * Add an option for raw (non-Metacube) inputs over HTTP
44 (src_encoding=raw). Only really useful for TS.
46 * If a HTTP input fails multiple times, silence it in the error log
47 for the next minute. This reduces the amount of logging for a
48 permanently dead input stream by a lot, although of course,
49 such streams should generally just be removed from the
50 configuration altogether.
53 Cubemap 1.2.2, 2016-04-02
55 * Fix literal IPv6 address parsing in URLs.
57 * Fix a bug (introduced in 1.2.0) where access.log would have monotonic
58 timestamps (typically time since boot) instead of real time.
60 * Increase the Metacube block size warning limit from 1MB to 10MB, as MP4
61 muxing can legitimately create huge blocks.
64 Cubemap 1.2.1, 2015-08-30
66 * Use libsystemd to inform systemd accurately about when the service is up
67 and running. Note that this means Cubemap now also depends on libsystemd.
69 * Add a simple HTTP endpoint that returns a very short string (gen204),
72 * Document config options better in cubemap.config.sample.
75 Cubemap 1.2.0, 2015-07-24
77 * Add support for server-side prebuffering (force_prebuffering=NNN
78 on a stream to prebuffer that amount of bytes), where Cubemap doesn't
79 send any data before it knows it can send a certain number of
80 bytes without waiting for more from the input (either through
81 giving out old data, waiting for new data, or a combination).
83 This is useful when using jwPlayer or <video> in browsers, where
84 the client typically does not wait to fill up its buffer before it
85 starts playing, and thus will stay perenially in a low-buffer state.
86 Effectively it is forcing a certain amount of buffering on the client.
88 * Log the client's Referer: and User-Agent: header in the stats file and
91 * Time out clients that go more than 60 seconds without sending a request;
92 they could hang in that state for days and months before.
95 Cubemap 1.1.2, 2014-07-07
97 * Remove some leftover debug code that would cause compile errors.
100 Cubemap 1.1.1, 2014-07-06
102 * Fix parsing of IPv6 SSM URLs. Also add an example to the
105 * Change the default backlog size to 10 MB.
108 Cubemap 1.1.0, 2014-04-30
110 * Multicast support, both for sending and receiving;
111 both IPv4 and IPv6, both ASM and SSM.
113 * Drop support for fwmark, since it is obsolete with sch_fq
116 * Many smaller bugfixes.
119 Cubemap 1.0.4, 2014-03-23
121 * Fix a segfault on reload that was introduced in 1.0.2.
123 * Remove the Metacube VLC patch, as it is now upstream.
125 * Always compile with large file support, which works around
126 a blocking issue with 32-bit x86.
129 Cubemap 1.0.3, 2014-02-06
131 * Fix a compilation error with newer glibc.
134 Cubemap 1.0.2, 2014-02-04
136 * Support SO_MAX_PACING_RATE (Linux 3.13 and above).
138 * Add a listen statement to listen only on specific IP addresses,
139 in addition to the port statement.
141 * Update the VLC Metacube patch to apply to current VLC git.
143 * Fix a crash bug on reload.
145 * Be more consistent about handling streams that have no data yet.
146 In particular, this could show itself as erratic behavior when
147 sending Metacube streams on to other Cubemap instances.
150 Cubemap 1.0.1, 2013-09-19
154 * Fix an issue where Cubemap could be slow when /tmp was slow
155 (ie., not on SSD and not on tmpfs), due to high mutex contention.
157 * Fix compilation on 32-bit systems.
159 * Various packaging fixes and a systemd service unit, contributed
162 * Use the new deleted-by-default temporary files if available
163 (Linux 3.11 and above).
