wdt v1.23.1511300 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-12-01 // over 8 years ago
  • 🚀 Big release !

    🆕 New features:

    • 👍 WDT now supports encryption (aes128)

    The receiver is generating a one time 128bits secret, encoded in the URL. This secret needs to be transmitted securely (at facebook we use secure thrift for this but you can use ssh for instance). Note that we do not try to authenticate and only encrypt.

    • Other improvements

    Also estimate the time it may take for a slow receiver to consume the enqueued bytes to avoid timing out waiting for the ack to the end of transfer

    🚧 There is a new https://github.com/facebook/wdt/blob/master/Wdt.h simpler API for C++ (which is work in progress but shows the direction we are headed)
