v3.0.0

[axellse]

Last big release was may 18 last year, quite a while ago now! I've not been working that much on ray during that time but i thought i would pack up my changes that i have done into a new big release. Hope you enjoy this release, it's the biggest one yet, and unless bugs or new feature requirements come up, it might be the last!

Additions

• Comlines - communication lines, basically a rest api to interact with ray, either locally over unix domain sockets or over tcp.
• Rayc - replaces rray, instead of working over ssh, it interacts with comlines.
• Extensions - what it says on the tin, local comline based extensions to extend the functionality of rays.
• UDS Support - previously applications would have to listen to the RAY_PORT environment variable, now they can listen to a unix domain socket (named pipe on windows) which is a lot faster.
• Monitoring makeover - monitoring notifications, at least on discord, have had a visual makeover. Also see CatMode.
• New website - new site at ray.pyrret.com
• DCM (Docker Compatibility mode) - run docker containers in ray, see this and this.
• Raydoc - automated documentation system, basically doxygen for go but it outputs markdown.
• RLSP v2 - rlsp now uses single-use connections for better stability. This means pre-3.0.0 servers cannot interact with 3.0.0 servers.
• Reloadable RLS Connections - rls connections can now be hot reloaded from config without requiring a restart.
• Ray Files - place files into your project from your ray config. Useful for stuff like config files, and can also be used for docker volumes with DCM. See the reference.

Changes

• Rayinstall has once again been reworked
• Quite a few bugfixes
• Old ray environments are now cleaned up on startup, saving a lot of diskspace.
• Rayserve optimizations.
• Rls weight optimizations.
• Systemd file changes to prevent rays starting when the server is not yet online.
• Rayutil is now disabled in certain cases, for example when fetching htmx content.

And probably a lot more i forgot to record!

Compatibility information

Action may need to be taken when migrating from the previous release. Project config uses version v1-networked and ray config v3-extended-compatability

RLSP v2 means older servers cannot interact with newer ones. Please either upgrade all your servers (highly recommended) or do not update any of them.

Installation information

Below you can find zip archives containing ray installation packages for different platforms and architectures. Refer to the installation guide for help.
