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