python-bond 1.4

  • Performance/documentation tweaks.

python-bond 1.3

  • Added support for "Quoted expressions". call() can now be used on remote functions expecting one or more remote unserializable objects as their arguments, without the need of a support function and/or eval().

python-bond 1.2

  • PHP's error level can now be controlled through the _BOND_error_level() function (see the PHP "Limitations" section).
  • An initialization race with PHP <= 5.3 (causing intermittent initialization issues) has been fixed.
  • The license has been changed from GPLv2 to GNU GPLv2+.
  • A new mailing list for announcements and development discussions has been created (see the README).

python-bond 1.1

  • PHP output redirection was broken in 1.0; it's now fixed.
  • PHP now also redirects error messages to stderr, honouring correctly error_reporting() and display_errors.

python-bond 1.0

  • The API has been streamlined: make_bond() is now the primary method of constructing Bond objects, independently of the interpreter language. The old language constructors are still supported, but are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
  • All functions/objects/methods are now documented with docstrings.
  • Bond initialization errors, especially errors related to missing dependencies, are now much easier to understand.
  • Serialization exceptions on the remote side have been renamed to _BOND_SerializationException for consistency with other languages.
  • JavaScript/Node.js support was previously limited to versions >= 0.10. Any version of Node.js starting with 0.6.12 is now supported.
  • PHP support was previously limited to versions >= 5.6. Any version of PHP starting with 5.3 is now supported.
  • A Perl dependency on IO::String was previously missing, and has now been correctly documented.

python-bond 0.5

  • Python 3 support has been added, with the ability to mix major Python versions between the host and the bond.
  • All languages/interpreters can now be executed with a remote shell without using additional arguments.
  • On the remote side, __PY_BOND_SerializationException has been renamed to _PY_BOND_SerializationException as it can be trapped by the user code.
  • The scope of a PHP code block in an exported, recursive call has been fixed.

python-bond 0.4

  • Serialization exceptions generating from exported functions now correctly unwind the remote stack.
  • An exception with exported functions returning no values was fixed.
  • The size of the serialization buffers was previously limited to 4k; it's now bound to the available memory.
  • bond.interact() now can accept multi-line blocks by using a trailing backslash at the end of the line.
  • Performance was optimized.

python-bond 0.3

  • Local exceptions are now forwarded remotely for exported functions.
  • Excluding Python, exceptions are no longer serialized, but are instead propagated using their originating error message. See the trans_except keyword argument in constructors that allows to tune this behavior.
  • The spawned interpreter now uses a copy of the current environment.
  • PHP now triggers an exception when attempting to redefine a function.
  • JavaScript is now supported through Node.js.

python-bond 0.2

  • Serialization errors are now intercepted by default and generate a local exception of type bond.SerializationException.
  • PHP can now "call" any callable statement.
  • eval_block() no longer returns the value of the last statement. This avoids confusion with Perl code blocks returning unserializable references.
  • Standard error is now also redirected.
