C++ Actor Framework v0.16.0 Release Notes

• ➕ Added

  • 👍 As part of CE-0002, config_value received support for lists, durations and dictionaries. CAF now exposes the content of an actor system config as a dictionary of config_value. The free function get_or offers convenient access to configuration parameters with hard-coded defaults as fallback.
  • The C++17-compatible string_view class enables us to make use of recent standard addition without having to wait until it becomes widely available.
  • In preparation of plans for future convenience API, we've added uri according to RFC 3986 as well as ipv6_address and ipv4_address.
  • A new, experimental streaming API. Please have a look at the new manual section for more details.

  🗄 Deprecated

  • 🔧 Going forward, the preferred way to access configuration parameters is using the new get_or API. Hence, these member variables are now deprecated in actor_system_config:
    • scheduler_policy
    • scheduler_max_threads
    • scheduler_max_throughput
    • scheduler_enable_profiling
    • scheduler_profiling_ms_resolution
    • scheduler_profiling_output_file
    • work_stealing_aggressive_poll_attempts
    • work_stealing_aggressive_steal_interval
    • work_stealing_moderate_poll_attempts
    • work_stealing_moderate_steal_interval
    • work_stealing_moderate_sleep_duration_us
    • work_stealing_relaxed_steal_interval
    • work_stealing_relaxed_sleep_duration_us
    • logger_file_name
    • logger_file_format
    • logger_console
    • logger_console_format
    • logger_verbosity
    • logger_inline_output
    • middleman_network_backend
    • middleman_app_identifier
    • middleman_enable_automatic_connections
    • middleman_max_consecutive_reads
    • middleman_heartbeat_interval
    • middleman_detach_utility_actors
    • middleman_detach_multiplexer
    • middleman_cached_udp_buffers
    • middleman_max_pending_msgs

  ✂ Removed

  • The boost::asio was part of an initiative to contribute CAF as boost::actor. Since there was little interest by the Boost community, this backend now serves no purpose.

  🛠 Fixed

  • 🌲 Setting the log level to quiet now properly suppresses any log output.
  • 🔧 Configuring colored terminal output should now print colored output.
