Fixed

  • Update bandwidth file specification version in the generator (#28366).

  • Speed up scanner by disabling RTT measurements and waiting for measurement threads before prioritizing again the list of relays to measure.

Fixed

  • Use secs-away when provided instead of data_period (#28105)
  • Disable measuring RTTs (#28159)
  • Rename bandwidth file keyvalues (#28197)

Added

  • Write bw file only when the percentage of measured relays is bigger than 60% (#28062)

v0.8.0 (2018-10-08)

Important changes:

  • Implement Torflow scaling/aggregation to be able to substitute Torflow with sbws without affecting the bandwidth files results.
  • Change stem dependency to 1.7.0, which removes the need for dependency_links
  • Update and cleanup documentation

Added

  • Add system physical requirements section to INSTALL (#26937)
  • Warn when there is not enough disk space (#26937)
  • Implement Torflow scaling (#27108)
  • Create methods to easy graph generation and obtain statistics to compare with current torflow results.(#27688)
  • Implement rounding bw in bandwidth files to 2 insignificant digits(#27337)
  • Filter results in order to include relays in the bandwidth file that:(#27338)
  • have at least two measured bandwidths
  • the measured bandwidths are within 24 hours of each other
  • have at least two descriptor observed bandwidths
  • the descriptor observed bandwidths are within 24 hours of each other

Fixed

Important changes:

  • cleanup/stale_days is renamed to cleanup/data_files_compress_after_days
  • cleanup/rotten_days is renamed to cleanup/data_files_delete_after_days
  • sbws now takes as an argument the path to a config file (which contains sbws_home) instead of sbws_home (which contains the path to a config file)

Added

  • Log line on start up with sbws version, platform info, and library versions (trac#26751)
  • Manual pages (#26926)

Fixed

  • Stop deleting the latest.v3bw symlink. Instead, do an atomic rename. (#26740)
  • State file for storing the last time sbws scanner was started, and able to be used for storing many other types of state in the future. (GH#166)

  • Do not require to run a command to initialize
  • Initialize directories when running
  • Do not require configuration file inside directories specified by the configuration

v0.6.0 (2018-07-11)

Important changes:

  • The way users configure logging has changed. No longer are most users expected to be familiar with how to configure python's standard logging library with a config file. Instead we've abstracted out the setting of log level, format, and destinations to make these settings more accessible to users. Expert users familiar with the logging config file format can still make tweaks.

Summary of changes:

  • Make logging configuration easier for the user.
  • Add UML diagrams to documentation. They can be found in docs/source/images/ and regenerated with make umlsvg in docs/.

Added

  • UML diagrams to documentation. In docs/ run make umlsvg to rebuild them. Requires graphviz to be installed.(GHPR#226)
  • Add metadata to setup.py, useful for source/binary distributions.
  • Add possibility to log to system log. (#26683)
  • Add option to cleanup v3bw files. (#26701)

Fixed

  • Measure relays that have both Exit and BadExit as non-exits, which is how clients would use them. (GH#217)
  • Could not init sbws because of a catch-22 related to logging configuration. Overhaul how logging is configured. (GH#186 GHPR#224)
  • Call write method of V3BWFile class from the object instance. (#26671)
  • Stop calculating median on empty list .(#26666)

Changed

  • Remove is_controller_ok. Instead catch possible controller exceptions and log them

Removed

v0.5.0 (2018-06-26)

Important changes:

  • Result format changed, causing a version bump to 4. Updating sbws to 0.5.0 will cause it to ignore results with version less than 4.

Summary of changes:

  • Keep previously-generated v3bw files
  • Allow a relay to limit its weight based on RelayBandwidthRate/MaxAdvertisedBandwidth
  • 1 CPU usage optimization
  • 1 memory usage optimization

Added

  • Use a relay's {,Relay}BandwidthRate/MaxAdvertisedBandwidth as an upper bound on the measurements we make for it. (GH#155)
  • Ability to only consider results for a given relay valid if they came from when that relay is using its most recent known IP address. Thanks Juga. (GH#154 GHPR#199)
  • Maintenance script to help us find functions that are (probably) no longer being called.
  • Integration test(s) for RelayPrioritizer (GHPR#206)
  • Git/GitHub usage guidelines to CONTRIBUTING document (GH#208 GHPR#215)

Fixed

  • Make relay priority calculations take only ~5% of the time they used to (3s vs 60s) by using sets instead of lists when selecting non-Authority relays. (GH#204)
  • Make relay list refreshing take much less time by not allowing worker threads to dogpile on the CPU. Before they would all start requesting descriptors from Tor at roughly the same time, causing us to overload our CPU core and make the process take unnecessarily long. Now we let one thread do the work so it can peg the CPU on its own and get the refresh done ASAP. (GH#205)
  • Catch a JSON decode exception on malformed results so sbws can continue gracefully (GH#210 GHPR#212)

Changed

  • Change the path where the Bandwidth List files are generated: now they are stored in v3bw directory, named YYmmdd_HHMMSS.v3bw, and previously generated ones are kept. A latest.v3bw symlink is updated. (GH#179 GHPR#190)
  • Code refactoring in the v3bw classes and generation area
  • Replace v3bw-into-xy bash script with python script to handle a more complex v3bw file format (GH#182)

v0.4.1 (2018-06-14)

Changed

  • If the relay to measure is an exit, put it in the exit position and choose a non-exit to help. Previously the relay to measure would always be the first hop. (GH#181)
  • Try harder to find a relay to help measure the target relay with two changes. Essentially: (1) Instead of only picking from relays that are 1.25 - 2.00 times faster than it by consensus weight, try (in order) to find a relay that is at least 2.00, 1.75, 1.50, 1.25, or v1.00 times as fast. If that fails, instead of giving up, (2) pick the fastest relay in the network instead of giving up. This compliments the previous change about measuring target exits in the exit position.

Fixed

  • Exception that causes sbws to fall back to one measurement thread. We first tried fixing something in this area with 88fae60bc but neglected to remember that .join() wants only string arguments and can't handle a None. So fix that.
  • Exception when failing to get a relay's ed25519_master_key from Tor and trying to do .rstrip() on a None.
  • earliest_bandwidth being the newest bw not the oldest (thanks juga0)
  • node_id was missing the character "$" at the beginning
