1 Cubemap 1.4.2, 2018-12-21
3 * Fix an issue with backlogs larger then 2 GB.
6 Cubemap 1.4.1, 2018-09-12
8 * Fix some 32-bit compilation issues.
11 Cubemap 1.4.0, 2018-09-01
13 * NOTE: Cubemap now requires a C++11 compiler. Also, live upgrades
14 from Cubemap before version 1.2.0 is no longer supported (upgrade
15 through 1.3.2 first if this is a problem for you).
17 * Support for TLS 1.2, through the tlse library (a lightly patched
18 version is included) and kTLS. This requires Linux >= 4.17.
20 * Support for fMP4 (HLS), including generating playlists on-the-fly.
21 This requires an input Metacube stream generated by Nageru >= 1.7.2.
22 See cubemap.config.sample for an example.
24 * Fix an issue that would cause problems with UDP inputs on reload
25 (unless their source encoding was explicitly marked as raw).
28 Cubemap 1.3.2, 2017-05-24
30 * Fix a bug where streams with paths exactly seven characters long
31 (e.g. “/abc.ts”) would get broken buffering behavior, as they would
32 start at the start of the backlog, not the end as they should.
33 This caused massively increased latency and/or problems playing back
37 Cubemap 1.3.1, 2016-07-23
39 * Support Metacube timestamp blocks. This allows Metacube producers
40 to add timestamps at arbitrary places between blocks, which,
41 provided that the system clocks on both sides are in sync, allows
42 Cubemap to produce a latency measure. If the latency is very high
43 (and/or keeps going up), you will know that the network has problems
44 keeping up with transporting the stream, even in the absence of
47 At the time of release, only Nageru adds timestamp blocks;
51 Cubemap 1.3.0, 2016-07-14
53 * Add an option for raw (non-Metacube) inputs over HTTP
54 (src_encoding=raw). Only really useful for TS.
56 * If a HTTP input fails multiple times, silence it in the error log
57 for the next minute. This reduces the amount of logging for a
58 permanently dead input stream by a lot, although of course,
59 such streams should generally just be removed from the
60 configuration altogether.
63 Cubemap 1.2.2, 2016-04-02
65 * Fix literal IPv6 address parsing in URLs.
67 * Fix a bug (introduced in 1.2.0) where access.log would have monotonic
68 timestamps (typically time since boot) instead of real time.
70 * Increase the Metacube block size warning limit from 1MB to 10MB, as MP4
71 muxing can legitimately create huge blocks.
74 Cubemap 1.2.1, 2015-08-30
76 * Use libsystemd to inform systemd accurately about when the service is up
77 and running. Note that this means Cubemap now also depends on libsystemd.
79 * Add a simple HTTP endpoint that returns a very short string (gen204),
82 * Document config options better in cubemap.config.sample.
85 Cubemap 1.2.0, 2015-07-24
87 * Add support for server-side prebuffering (force_prebuffering=NNN
88 on a stream to prebuffer that amount of bytes), where Cubemap doesn't
89 send any data before it knows it can send a certain number of
90 bytes without waiting for more from the input (either through
91 giving out old data, waiting for new data, or a combination).
93 This is useful when using jwPlayer or <video> in browsers, where
94 the client typically does not wait to fill up its buffer before it
95 starts playing, and thus will stay perenially in a low-buffer state.
96 Effectively it is forcing a certain amount of buffering on the client.
98 * Log the client's Referer: and User-Agent: header in the stats file and
101 * Time out clients that go more than 60 seconds without sending a request;
102 they could hang in that state for days and months before.
105 Cubemap 1.1.2, 2014-07-07
107 * Remove some leftover debug code that would cause compile errors.
110 Cubemap 1.1.1, 2014-07-06
112 * Fix parsing of IPv6 SSM URLs. Also add an example to the
115 * Change the default backlog size to 10 MB.
118 Cubemap 1.1.0, 2014-04-30
120 * Multicast support, both for sending and receiving;
121 both IPv4 and IPv6, both ASM and SSM.
123 * Drop support for fwmark, since it is obsolete with sch_fq
126 * Many smaller bugfixes.
129 Cubemap 1.0.4, 2014-03-23
131 * Fix a segfault on reload that was introduced in 1.0.2.
133 * Remove the Metacube VLC patch, as it is now upstream.
135 * Always compile with large file support, which works around
136 a blocking issue with 32-bit x86.
139 Cubemap 1.0.3, 2014-02-06
141 * Fix a compilation error with newer glibc.
144 Cubemap 1.0.2, 2014-02-04
146 * Support SO_MAX_PACING_RATE (Linux 3.13 and above).
148 * Add a listen statement to listen only on specific IP addresses,
149 in addition to the port statement.
151 * Update the VLC Metacube patch to apply to current VLC git.
153 * Fix a crash bug on reload.
155 * Be more consistent about handling streams that have no data yet.
156 In particular, this could show itself as erratic behavior when
157 sending Metacube streams on to other Cubemap instances.
160 Cubemap 1.0.1, 2013-09-19
164 * Fix an issue where Cubemap could be slow when /tmp was slow
165 (ie., not on SSD and not on tmpfs), due to high mutex contention.
167 * Fix compilation on 32-bit systems.
169 * Various packaging fixes and a systemd service unit, contributed
172 * Use the new deleted-by-default temporary files if available
173 (Linux 3.11 and above).
