Bugfixes

• Fixed timeout logic so it no longer drops the connection. This allows Velocity to continue trying servers in your try block if one fails to start.

What's Changed

Highlights

This release brings new ways to run backend servers as well as some bug fixes and updates for annoying error messages.

Features

• JAR Broker: Directly run server jars! This allows for better integration with existing servers. See the updated documentation and getting started guide for how to use it.
• Docker TLS Support: The docker broker now supports TLS for connections to remote daemons. Securely launch servers on a cluster of machines!

Bugfixes

• Config Error Handinling: Better config error handling for when you are missing a config file.
• Default Config Generation: Generates a default config file if you are missing one.
• Doc fixes: Correct typos in readme and docs.
• Handle Server Crashes: Stop Impulse from waiting forever if server crashes while starting.

API Changes

[!TIP] These changes are only important for developers!

• Broker Factory: The broker factory API now provides a list of broker names it can construct rather than a single name. This allows a single broker package to more easily provide multiple implementations. See the new JAR/CMD broker for an example.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/Arson-Club/Impulse/compare/v0.2.0...v0.2.1

We are excited to announce the release of v0.2.0! This update includes significant under-the-hood changes and refactoring aimed at making it easier to extend Impulse. Additionally, we have introduced several user-facing features and quality-of-life improvements.

Hightlights

Broker Refactor

The broker refactor is now complete, allowing you to create custom brokers as plugins for Impulse. This new architecture will also facilitate the distribution of future first-party brokers outside of our core functionality, enabling us to support a wider range of platforms without bloating the installation.

API Documentation

We have enhanced our API library documentation with comprehensive docstrings. A dedicated KDocs site will be launched soon for easier access.

New Pin/Unpin Commands

We have added new commands that allow for a temporary override of the shutdown behavior, providing greater flexibility in server management.

Expanded Server Lifecycle Configuration

More configuration settings have been exposed, allowing for deeper customization of how the server lifecycle is managed by Impulse.

Revamped Documentation

Our documentation has been completely overhauled and is now presented in a more user-friendly format!

Bugfixes

We have resolved several outstanding bugs related to configuration permissions, parsing issues, and Docker image pulling.

Migration

[!WARNING] There are braking changes in this update. You must read this section before upgrading.

Configuration

As part of our refactoring, we have introduced several breaking changes to our configuration schema. While all keys remain, they have been reorganized to maintain clarity as we expand the options available. You can find the full documentation for the configuration file here.

Renamed Configuration Keys

• inactiveTimeout has been renamed to lifecycleSettings.timeouts.inactiveGracePeriod

  servers:
    - name: foo
      lifecycleSettings:
        timeouts:
          inactiveGracePeriod: 500 # time in seconds
  

• forceServerReconciliation has been renamed to lifecycleSettings.reconciliationBehavior

  servers:
    - name: foo
      lifecycleSettings:
        reconciliationBehavior: ON_STOP
  

• serverReconciliationGracePeriod has been renamed to lifecycleSettings.timeouts.reconciliationGracePeriod

  servers:
    - name: foo
      lifecycleSettings:
        timeouts:
          reconciliationGracePeriod: 60 # time in seconds
  

Default Behavior Changes

By default, servers will no longer stop after 5 minutes of inactivity; they will now run indefinitely unless specified otherwise.
