0.8.2 (UNRELEASED)

FEATURES:

IMPROVEMENTS:

• agent: Fixed a missing case where gossip would stop flowing to dead nodes for a short while. [GH-451]
• agent: Uses the go-sockaddr library to look for private IP addresses, which prefers non-loopback private addresses over loopback ones when trying to automatically determine the advertise address. [GH-451]
• agent: Properly seeds Go's random number generator using the seed library. [GH-451]
• agent: Serf is now built with Go 1.10.x. [GH-520]
• agent: Improved address comparison during conflict resolution. [GH-433]
• agent: Updated memberlist to latest to pull several cleanups and fixes. [GH-491]
• agent: Improved handling of leave intent messages to make sure they propagate and are processed correctly. [GH-510]
• agent: Added CLI option to disable compression for debugging messages. [GH-529]
• library: Moved close of shutdown channel until after network resorces are released. [GH-453]
• library: Fixed several race conditions with QueryResponse [GH-460]
• library: Made snapshot writing asyncronous and will less aggressive compaction on large clusters to avoid blocking message handler on disk IO [GH-524][GH-525]

BUG FIXES:

• agent: Added defenses against invalid network coordinates with NaN and Inf values. [GH-468]
• agent: Fixed an issue on Windows where "wsarecv" errors were logged when clients accessed the RPC interface. [GH-479]
• agent: Fixed an issue where calling the serf Stats function could result in a deadlock. [Consul Issue 4011]

0.8.1 (February 6, 2017)

IMPROVEMENTS:

• agent: Added support for relaying query responses through N other nodes for redundancy. [GH-439]
• agent: Added the ability to tune the broadcast timeout, which might be necessary in very large clusters that experience very large, simultaneous changes to the cluster. [GH-412]
• agent: Added a checksum to UDP gossip messages to guard against packet corruption. [GH-432]
• agent: Added a short window where gossip will still flow to dead nodes so that they can more quickly refute. [GH-440]
• build: Serf now builds with Go 1.7.5. [GH-443]

0.8 (September 14, 2016)

FEATURES:

• Lifeguard Updates: Implemented a new set of feedback controls for the gossip layer that help prevent degraded nodes that can't meet the soft real-time requirements from erroneously causing flapping in other, healthy nodes. This feature tunes itself automatically and requires no configuration. [GH-394]

IMRPOVEMENTS:

• Modified management of intents to be per-node to avoid intent queue overflow errors in large clusters. [GH-402]
• Joins based on a DNS lookup will use TCP and attempt to join with the full list of returned addresses. [GH-387]

• Automatic conflict resolution. Serf will detect name conflicts, and use an internal query to determine which node is in the minority and perform a shutdown. [GH-167] [GH-119]

• New reachability command can be used to help diagnose network and configuration issues.

• Added member-reap event to get notified of when Serf removes a failed or left node from the cluster. The reap interval is controlled by reconnect_timeout and tombstone_timeout respectively. [GH-172]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• New Recipes section on the site to share Serf tips. Thanks to @ryanuber. [GH-177]

• members command has new -name filter flag. Thanks to @ryanuber [GH-164]

0.4.1 (February 3, 2014)

IMPROVEMENTS:

• mDNS service uses the advertise address instead of bind address

0.4.0 (January 31, 2014)

FEATURES:

• Static role has been replaced with dynamic tags. Each agent can have multiple key/value tags associated using -tag. Tags can be updated using a SIGHUP and are advertised to the cluster, causing the member-update event to be triggered. [GH-111] [GH-98]

• Serf can automatically discover peers uing mDNS when provided the -discover flag. In network environments supporting multicast, no explicit join is needed to find peers. [GH-53]

• Serf collects telemetry information and simple runtime profiling. Stats can be dumped to stderr by sending a USR1 signal to Serf. Windows users must use the BREAK signal instead. [GH-103]

• advertise flag can be used to set an advertise address different from the bind address. Used for NAT traversal. Thanks to @benagricola [GH-93]

• members command now takes -format flag to specify either text or JSON output. Fixed by @ryanuber [GH-97]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• User payload always appends a newline when invoking a shell script

• Severity of "Potential blocking operation" reduced to debug to prevent spurious messages on slow or busy machines.

BUG FIXES:

• If an agent is restarted with the same bind address but new name, it will not respond to the old name, causing the old name to enter the failed state, instead of having duplicate entries in the alive state.

• leave_on_interrupt set to false when not specified, if any config file is provided. This flag is deprecated for skip_leave_on_interrupt instead. [GH-94]

MISC:

• -role configuration has been deprecated in favor of -tag role=foo. The flag is still supported but will generate warnings.

• Support for protocol version 0 (Serf 0.1) has been removed. Serf 0.4 cannot join a cluster that has members running version 0.1.

0.3.0 (December 5, 2013)

• New leave CLI command and RPC endpoint to control graceful leaves
• Signal handling is controlable, graceful leave behavior on SIGINT/SIGTERM can be specified
• SIGHUP can be used to reload configuration

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Can now configure Serf with files or directories of files by specifying the -config-file and/or -config-dir flags to the agent.
• New command serf force-leave can be used to force a "failed" node to the "left" state.
• Serf now supports message encryption and verification so that it can be used on untrusted networks [GH-25]
• The -join flag on serf agent can be used to join a cluster when starting an agent. [GH-42]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Random staggering of periodic routines to avoid cluster-wide synchronization
• Push/Pull timer automatically slows down as cluster grows to avoid congestion
• Messages are compressed to reduce bandwidth utilization
• serf members now provides node roles in output
• Joining a cluster will no longer replay all the old events by default, but it can using the -replay flag.
• User events are coalesced by default, meaning duplicate events (by name) within a short period of time are merged. [GH-8]

BUG FIXES:

• Event handlers work on Windows now by executing commands through cmd /C [GH-37]
• Nodes that previously left and rejoin won't get stuck in 'leaving' state. [GH-18]
