v2.10.1 - 2020-11-17

Bugfixes

  • Fix a CI issue which prevented the Python sdist package from being uploaded to PyPi. (#1960)

v2.10.0 - 2020-11-17

Announcements

The v2.10.0 Synapse release contains support for Python 3.8. Docker images are now built using a Python 3.8 image by default. There are also Python 3.7 images available as vertexproject/synapse:master-py37 and vertexproject/synapse:v2.x.x-py37.

Features and Enhancements

  • Python 3.8 release support for Docker and PyPi. (#1921) (#1956)
  • Add support for adding extended forms to the Cortex. This allows users to define their own forms using the existing types which are available in the Synapse data model. (#1944)
  • The Storm and and or statements now short-circuit and will return when their logical condition is first met. This means that subsequent clauses in those statements may not be executed. (#1952)
  • Add a mechanism for Storm Services to specify commands which may require privilege elevation to execute. An example of this may be to allow a command to create nodes; without managning individual permissions on what nodes a user may normally be allowed to create. Services using this mechanism wiill use the storm.asroot.cmd.<<cmd name>> hierarchy to grant this permission. (#1953) (#1958)
  • Add $lib.json Stormtypes Library to convert between string data and primitives. (#1949)
  • Add a parallel command to allow for executing a portion of a Storm query in parallel. Add a background command to execute a Storm query as a detached task from the current query, capturing variables in the process. (#1931) (#1957)
  • Add a $lib.exit() function to StormTypes to allow for quickly exiting a Storm query. (#1931)

  • Add cron.cleanup command to make it easy to clean up completed cron jobs. (#1942)
  • Add date of death properties and consistently named photo secondary properties. (#1929)
  • Add model additions for representing education and awards. (#1930)
  • Add additional account linkages to the inet model for users and groups. (#1946)
  • Add inet:web:hashtag as its own form, and add :hashtags to inet:web:post. (#1946)
  • Add lang:translation to capture language translations of texts in a more comprehensive way than older lang model forms did. The lang:idiom and lang:trans forms have been marked as deprecated. (#1946)
  • Update the ou model to add ou:attendee and ou:contest and ou:contest:result forms. Several secondary properties related to conference attendance have been marked deprecated. (#1946)
  • The ps:persona and ps:persona:has forms have been marked as deprecated. (#1946)
  • Add ps:contactlist to allow collecting multiple ps:contact nodes together. (#1935)
  • Allow the Storm Service cmdargs to accept any valid model type in the type value. (#1923) (#1936)
  • Add >, <, >= and <= comparators for inet:ipv4 type. (#1938)
  • Add configuration options to the Axon to limit the amount of data which can be stored in it. Add a configuration option the Cortex to limit the number of nodes which may be stored in a given Cortex. (#1950)

Bugfixes

  • Fix a potential incorrect length for Spooled sets during fallback. (#1937)
  • Fix an issue with the Telepath Client object caching their Method and GenrMethod attributes across re-connections of the underlying Proxy objects. (#1939) (#1941)

  • Fix an issue with the layer definition schema. (#1927)

v2.9.1 - 2020-10-22

Features and Enhancements

  • Reuse existing an existing DateTime object when making time strings. This gives a slight performance boost for the synapse.lib.time.repr() function. (#1919)
  • Remove deprecated use of loop arguments when calling asyncio primitives. (#1920)
  • Allow Storm Services to define a minimum required Synapse version by the Cortex. If the Cortex is not running the minimum version, the Cortex will not load (#1900)
  • Only get the nxsindx in the Layer.storeNodeEdits() function if logging edits. (#1926)
  • Include the Node iden value in the CantDelNode exception when attempting to delete a Node failes due to existing references to the node. (#1926)
  • Take advantage of the LMDB append operation when possible. (#1912)

Bugfixes

  • Fix an issues in the Telepath Client where an exception thrown by a onlink function could cause additional linkloop tasks to be spawned. (#1924)

v2.9.0 - 2020-10-19

Announcements

The v2.9.0 Synapse release contains an automatic Cortex Layer data migration. The updated layer storage format reduces disk and memory requirements for a layer. It is recommended to test this process with a backup of a Cortex before updating a production Cortex.

In order to maximize the space savings from the new layer storage format, after the Cortex has been migrated to v2.9.0, one can take a cold backup of the Cortex and restore the Cortex from that backup. This compacts the LMDB databases which back the Layers and reclaims disk space as a result. This is an optional step; as LMDB will eventually re-use the existing space on disk.

If there are any questions about this, please reach out in the Synapse Slack channel so we can assist with any data migration questions.

Features and Enhancements

  • Optimize the layer storage format for memory size and performance. (#1877) (#1885) (#1899) (#1917)
  • Initial support Python 3.8 compatibility for the core Synapse library. Additional 3.8 support (such as wheels and Docker images) will be available in future releases. (#1907)
  • Add a read only Storm option to the Storm runtime. This option prevents executing commands or Stormtypes functions which may modify data in the Cortex. (#1869) (#1916)
  • Allow the Telepath Dmon to disconnect clients using a ready status. (#1881)
  • Ensure that there is only one online backup of a Cell occurring at a time. (#1883)
  • Added .lower(), .strip(), .lstrip() and .rstrip() methods to the Stormtypes Str object. These behave like the Python str methods. (#1886) (#1906)
  • When scraping text, defanged indicators are now refanged by default. (#1888)
  • Normalize read-only property declarations to use booleans in the data model. (#1887)
  • Add lift.byverb command to allow lifting nodes using a light edge verb. (#1890)
  • Add netblock and range lift helpers for inet:ipv6 type, similar to the helpers for inet:ipv4. (#1869)
  • Add a edges.del command to bulk remove light weight edges from nodes. (#1893)
  • The yield keyword in Storm now supports iterating over Stormtypes List and Set objects. (#1898)
  • Add ou:contract, ou:industry and it:reveng:function:strings forms to the data model. (#1894)
  • Add some display type-hinting to the data model for some string fields which may be multi-line fields. (#1892)
  • Add getFormCounts() API to the Stormtypes View and Layer objects. (#1903)
  • Allow Cortex layers to report their total size on disk. This is exposed in the Stormtypes Layer.pack() method for a layer. (#1910)
  • Expose the remote Storm Service name in the $lib.service.get() Stormtypes API. This allows getting a service object without knowing the name of the service as it was locally added to a Cortex. Also add a $lib.service.has() API which allows checking to see if a service is available on a Cortex. (#1908) (#1915)
  • Add regular expression (~=) and prefix matching (^=) expression comparators that can be used with logical expressions inside of Storm. (#1906)
  • Promote CoreApi.addFeedData() calls to tracked tasks which can be viewed and terminated. (#1918)

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a Storm bug where attempting to access an undeclared variable silently fails. This will now raise a NoSuchVar exception. This is verified at runtime, not at syntax evaluation. (#1916)
  • Ensure that Storm HTTP APIs tear down the runtime task if the remote disconnects before consuming all of the messages. (#1889)
  • Fix an issue where the model.edge.list command could block the ioloop for large Cortex. (#1890)
  • Fix a regex based lifting bug. (#1899)
  • Fix a few possibly greedy points in the AST code which could have resulted in greedy CPU use. (#1902)
  • When pivoting across light edges, if the destination form was not a valid form, nothing happened. Now a StormRuntimeError is raised if the destination form is not valid. (#1905)
  • Fix an issue with spawn processes accessing lmdb databases after a slab resize event has occurred by the main process. (#1914)
  • Fix a slab teardown race seen in testing Python 3.8 on MacOS. (#1914)

Deprecations

  • The 0.1.x to 2.x.x Migration tool and associated Cortex sync service has been removed from Synapse in the 2.9.0 release.

Improved Documentation

  • Clarify user documentation for pivot out and pivot in operations. (#1891)
  • Add a deprecation policy for Synapse Data model elements. (#1895)
  • Pretty print large data structures that may occur in the data model documentation. (#1897)
  • Update Storm Lift documentation to add the ?= operator. (#1904)

v2.8.0 - 2020-09-22

Features and Enhancements

  • Module updates to support generic organization identifiers, generic advertising identifiers, asnet6 and a few other secondary property additions. (#1879)
  • Update the Cell backup APIs to perform a consistent backup across all slabs for a Cell. (#1873)
  • Add support for a environment variable, SYN_LOCKMEM_DISABLE which will disable any memory locking of LMDB slabs. (#1882)

Deprecations

  • The 0.1.x to 2.x.x Migration tool and and associated Cortex sync service will be removed from Synapse in the 2.9.0 release. In order to move forward to 2.9.0, please make sure that any Cortexes which still need to be migrated will first be migrated to 2.8.x prior to attempting to use 2.9.x.

Improved Documentation

v2.7.3 - 2020-09-16

Deprecations

  • The 0.1.x to 2.x.x Migration tool and and associated Cortex sync service will be removed from Synapse in the 2.9.0 release. In order to move forward to 2.9.0, please make sure that any Cortexes which still need to be migrated will first be migrated to 2.8.x prior to attempting to use 2.9.x. (#1880)

Bugfixes

  • Remove duplicate words in a comment. This was a community contribution from enadjoe. (#1874)
  • Fix a nested Nexus log event in Storm Service deletion. The del event causing Storm code execution could lead to nested Nexus events, which is incongruent with how Nexus change handlers work. This now spins off the Storm code in a free-running coroutine. This does change the service del semantics since any support Storm packages a service had may be removed by the time the handler executes. (#1876)
  • Fix an issue where the cull parameter was not being passed to the multiqueue properly when calling .gets() on a Storm Types Queue object. (#1876)
  • Pin the nbconvert package to a known working version, as v6.0.0 of that package broke the Synapse document generation by changing how templates work. (#1876)
  • Correct min and max integer examples in tagprop documentation and tests. (#1878)

v2.7.2 - 2020-09-04

Features and Enhancements

  • Update tests for additional test code coverage. This was a community contribution from blackout. (#1867)
  • Add implicit links to documentation generated for Storm services, to allow for direct linking inside of documentation to specific Storm commands. (#1866)
  • Add future support for deprecating model elements in the Synapse data model. This support will produce client and server side warnings when deprecated model elements are used or loaded by custom model extensions or CoreModules. (#1863)

Bugfixes

  • Update FixedCache.put() to avoid a cache miss. This was a community contribution from blackout. (#1868)
  • Fix the ioloop construction to be aware of SYN_GREEDY_CORO environment variable to put the ioloop into debug mode and log long-running coroutines. (#1870)
  • Fix how service permissions are checked in $lib.service.get() and $lib.service.wait() Storm library calls. These APIs now first check service.get.<service iden> before checking service.get.<service name> permissions. A successful service.get.<service name> check will result in a warning to the client and the server. (#1871)

v2.7.1 - 2020-08-26

Features and Enhancements

  • Refactor an Axon unit test to make it easier to test alternative Axon implementations. (#1862)

Bugfixes

  • Fix an issue in synapse.tools.cmdr where it did not ensure that the users Synapse directory was created before trying to open files in the directory. (#1860) (#1861)
