v5.8.1
OpenC3 COSMOS 5.8.1 - Modern, Production Ready, Command and Control
Welcome to OpenC3 COSMOS 5.8.1!
Alpine 3.18.0 with Ruby 3.2 and Python 3.11.3
This releases updates the Alpine linux version to 3.18.0. With this comes an upgrade from Ruby 3.1 to Ruby 3.2. Not much changes with Ruby 3.2, but one important detail is that the deprecated Dir.exists? and File.exists? methods have been removed (use Dir.exist? and File.exist? instead). Note also this is our first release that bundles the Python interpreter... more to come soon! Also, ruby's httpclient library was replaced with Faraday, because httpclient is not being maintained.
Greatly improved script instrumentation performance (100x)
Starting scripts including using require_utility and load_utility are now 100x faster than in COSMOS 5.6.0 where we improved the number of cases handled by instrumentation, but introduced a performance regression.
Added the ability to browse volumes in BucketExplorer
Just add an environment variables like OPENC3__name__VOLUME set to the path of the volume. They can then be browsed and modified from BucketExplorer just like buckets!
New new bucket_load library
Allow for custom microservices to require target libraries just like ScriptRunner scripts. This modifies the Ruby require code to look in buckets for files if they aren't found locally.
require 'openc3/utilities/bucket_require'
$openc3_scope = 'DEFAULT' # Required until 5.8.2 release
require 'INST/procedures/utilities/collect.rb'
Other Improvements
- The raw dialog is now placed higher to allow for seeing more beneath it
- Handbook creator now displays ID values
- Screen Errors during plugin installs are now warnings and not fatal
- get_limits API now supports LATEST packet name
- BufferedPacketLogWriter updated to dump allow contents to files when a new file is created.
- New build_command API (only available from Javascript so far).
Bug Fixes
- Fix TlmViewer MATRIXBYCOLUMNS layout
- Fix Plugin install diffs for changes at beginning and end of file
- Changed microservices were formerly killed but not restarted properly
