Changelog

April 2024

  • Initial CPack support. Now userver-all.deb packages could be build via:
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/userver-framework/userver.git
    docker run --rm -it --network ip6net -v $(pwd):/home/user -w /home/user/userver \
    --entrypoint bash ghcr.io/userver-framework/ubuntu-22.04-userver-base:latest ./scripts/docker/run_as_user.sh \
    ./scripts/build_and_install_all.sh
    We'll start publishing the packages soon.
  • New Docker images based on Ubuntu-22.04 with weekly builds and publishing:
    • ghcr.io/userver-framework/ubuntu-22.04-userver-pg:latest - image with preinstalled userver deb package and PostgreSQL database. All the service templates now use it for tests
    • ghcr.io/userver-framework/ubuntu-22.04-userver:latest - image with preinstalled userver deb package. Good starting container for developing servers that do not use POstgreSQL.
    • ghcr.io/userver-framework/ubuntu-22.04-userver-base:latest - an image with only the build dependencies to build userver. Good for development of userver itself. More info at Configure, Build and Install
  • All the service templates were moved to a new components naming with :: (for example userver::core) and now attempt to find an installed userver. Now in CMake component names with :: work regardless of the framework installation (CPM, add_subdirectory, or find_package).
  • Added userver/utils/hedged_request.hpp with a bunch of helper classes to perform hedged requests.
  • Improved testsuite logging for functional tests.
  • Consumers of concurrent queues now have a Reset() method. Thanks to akhoroshev for the PR!
  • Fixed gRPC builds and runs with ASAN. Thanks to Nikita for the PR!
  • Published early work on Kafka driver. API is not stable, build scripts, improvements and samples to come. Thanks to Fedor for the work!
  • Published early work on RocksDB driver. API is not stable, build scripts, improvements and samples to come. Thanks to Kirill for the work!
  • Optimizations:
    • WriteAll for TLS became up to 7 times faster if multiple small chunks of data are written. Thanks to Илья Оплачкин and VScdr for the PR!
    • Binary sizes were reduced if building without LTO. All the binaries linked with userver became about 1MB smaller.
    • Implemented asymmetric thread fences. This opens the door for optimizations of rcu::Variable and internals of the scheduler.
    • Caches in testsuite are now invalidated concurrently, leading to tens of seconds speedup for services with multiple caches and tests.
    • concurrent::StripedCounter became 8 times more memory efficient.
  • Build and docs:

March 2024

  • Installation via cmake --install was implemented. See userver_install for more info.
  • Implemented Http server middlewares
  • USERVER_LOG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG now provides fine granted runtime control over logging.
  • Now all the modern versions of libmongoc are supported in userver-mongo.
  • POSTGRES_CONNLIMIT_MODE_AUTO_ENABLED is now on by default.
  • A secret value for the digest nonce generating now could be provided in http_server_digest_auth_secret key via components::Secdist. Many thanks to Mingaripov Niyaz for the PR!
  • ugrpc::server::ServerComponent now has a unix-socket-path static option to listen on unix domain socket path instead of an inet socket.
  • All the formats::*::ValueBuilder now support std::string_view. Thanks to Андрей Будиловский for the bug report!
  • clients::http::Form is now movable and slightly more efficient. Thanks to Alexandr Kondratev for the PR!
  • Redis now supports SSUBSCRIBE and removes dead nodes.
  • engine::WaitAny() now can wait for an engine::io::Socket/engine::io::TlsWrapper to become readable or writable. For example: engine::WaitAny(socket.GetReadableBase(), task1, tls_socket.GetWritableBase(), future1);
  • New tracing::Span::MakeRootSpan() helper function.
  • Optimizations:
    • Switched from unmaintained http_parser to a 156% faster llhttp.
    • Implemented a concurrent::StripedCounter that allows to have a per-cpu data in user space with kernel-provided transactional guarantees. Works at least x2 faster than std::atomic on a single thread and scales linearly (unlike std::atomic). As a result gives more than x10 performance improvement under heavy contention.
    • An explicit control over cache invalidations in testsuite. As a result, less caches are invalidated between tests and the overall time to run tests goes down significantly.
    • Components start was optimized to copy less containers during component dependencies detection.
    • Per each incoming HTTP request:
      • one less std::chrono::steady_clock::now() call
      • one less StrCaseHash construction (2 calls into std::uniform_int_distribution<std::uint64_t> over std::mt19937)
      • one less dynamic_config::Snapshot construction (at least one atomic CAS)
    • HTTP Client now copies less std::shared_ptr variables in implementation.
    • Optimized up to an order of magnitude the user types query in PostgreSQL driver.
    • pytest_userver.client.Client.capture_logs() now accepts log_level to filter out messages with lower log level in the service itself and minimize CPU and memory consumption during tests.
    • Up to two times faster utils::statistics::RecentPeriod statistics in PostgreSQL driver due to switching to a utils::datetime::SteadyCoarseClock.
  • Build:

February 2024

  • PostgreSQL driver now keeps processing the current queries and transactions after encountering a "prepared statement already exists" event.
  • Implemented a new landing page to make userver even more nice&shiny! The whole project was done by 👨🏻‍💻 frontend developer Fedor Alekseev; 🧑🏼‍🎨 designers hellenisaeva and MariaGrinchenko; 👨🏻‍💼 manager Oleg Komarov. Many thanks for the awesome work!
  • HTTP components::Server now has a static configuration option address to select network interface to listen to.
  • gRPC futures now can be used efficiently with engine::WaitAny().
  • Flush headers before starting to produce the body parts in HTTP streaming handlers, so a client can react to the request earlier. Thanks to akhoroshev for the PR!
  • Added tracing::TagScope for comfortable work with local scope tracing tags. Many thanks to nfrmtk for the PR!
  • INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES is now used in userver_add_grpc_library. Thanks to Nikita for the PR!
  • New storages::postgres::QueryQueue class, mostly for executing multiple SELECT statements and retrieving the results in one roundtrip.
  • POSTGRES_TOPOLOGY_SETTINGS to control maximum allowed replication lag.
  • Optimizations:
    • PostgreSQL driver now caches the low-level database (D)escribe responses, workarounds the libpq implementation and does not request query describe information on each request. This results in about ~2 times less data transmitted for select statements that return multiple columns, less CPU consumption for the database server and for the application itself.
    • On Boost 1.74 and newer the engine::SingleConsumerEvent::IsReady() now uses atomic load instead of a much less efficient atomic DWCAS.
    • gRPC deadline propagation now uses less now() calls and measures time more precisely.
    • About 16% faster HttpResponse::SetHeader due to using a vectorization friendly algorithm.
    • Improved Redis driver start-up time.
    • dynamic_config::DocsMap::Parse() and dynamic configs retrieval copies less strings.
  • Build:
    • New Docker container for developing userver based projects ghcr.io/userver-framework/ubuntu-22.04-userver-base:latest. It contains all the build dependencies preinstalled and a proper setup of PPAs with databases, compilers and tools.
    • Switched to a modern python venv instead of the older virtualenv.
    • Use system provided Boost.Stacktrace if it is available.
  • Documentation and Diagnostics:

January 2024

      • before:
        include(third_party/userver/cmake/SetupEnvironment.cmake)
        add_subdirectory(third_party/userver)
      • after:
        add_subdirectory(third_party/userver)
        userver_setup_environment()
        Requirements are not code generated any more and the default requirements used on userver_testsuite_add_simple() CMake function call. add_grpc_library() renamed to userver_add_grpc_library().

  • server::http::HttpRequest:GetMethod() now can return server::http::HttpMethod::kHEAD. Thanks to Kirill Zimnikov for the bugreport and PR!
  • PostgreSQL now has the following static config options:
    • check-user-types option to prevent service from starting if database is not ready for work (for example: some migrations were not applied).
    • discard-all-on-connect - to force running DISCARD ALL on new connections, which could be useful for some PostgreSQLs smart-proxies that reuse the same connections.
  • Boost.PFR 2.2.0 is now in use. The door for compile time reflection pull requests is now open!

Use USERVER_DISABLE_PHDR_CACHE CMake option to disable it, if the framework reports dlopen usage after component start and there's no way to avoid it.
    • Optimized discarding logs by log level from 4ns to 2ns. Added CMake option USERVER_FEATURE_ERASE_LOG_WITH_LEVEL to totally eliminate all the CPU and binary size overhead from logging.
    • Implemented utils::SmallString::resize_and_overwrite() function as in C++23 std::string. Thanks to Илья Оплачкин for the PR.
    • Up to an order of magnitude faster generation of HTTP response header via utils::SmallString usage. Thanks to Илья Оплачкин for the PR.
    • Faster logging of durations in tracing::Span, tracing::ScopeTime and friends.
    • Parsing inside storages::postgres::ResultSet now does not compute parsing-failure diagnostic information if parsing is successful.
