Synapse

===================

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
- Module updates to support generic organization identifiers, generic
advertising identifiers, asnet6 and a few other secondary property additions.
(`1879 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1879>`_)
- Update the Cell backup APIs to perform a consistent backup across all slabs
for a Cell.
(`1873 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1873>`_)
- Add support for a environment variable, ``SYN_LOCKMEM_DISABLE`` which will
disable any memory locking of LMDB slabs.
(`1882 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1882>`_)

Deprecations
------------

- The ``0.1.x`` to ``2.x.x`` Migration tool and and associated Cortex sync
service will be removed from Synapse in the ``2.9.0`` release. In order to
move forward to ``2.9.0``, please make sure that any Cortexes which still
need to be migrated will first be migrated to ``2.8.x`` prior to attempting
to use ``2.9.x``.

Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Add Synapse README content to the Pypi page. This was a community
contribution from https://github.com/wesinator. (`#1872

Bugfixes
--------
- Remove duplicate words in a comment. This was a community contribution from enadjoe.
(`1874 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1874>`_)
- Fix a nested Nexus log event in Storm Service deletion. The ``del`` event causing Storm code execution could lead to
nested Nexus events, which is incongruent with how Nexus change handlers work. This now spins off the Storm code in
a free-running coroutine. This does change the service ``del`` semantics since any support Storm packages a service
had may be removed by the time the handler executes.
(`1876 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1876>`_)
- Fix an issue where the ``cull`` parameter was not being passed to the multiqueue properly when calling ``.gets()``
on a Storm Types Queue object.
(`1876 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1876>`_)
- Pin the ``nbconvert`` package to a known working version, as ``v6.0.0`` of that package broke the Synapse document
generation by changing how templates work.
(`1876 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1876>`_)
- Correct ``min`` and ``max`` integer examples in tagprop documentation and tests.
(`1878 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1878>`_)

===================

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
- Update tests for additional test code coverage. This was a community contribution from blackout.
(`1867 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1867>`_)
- Add implicit links to documentation generated for Storm services, to allow for direct linking inside of documentation
to specific Storm commands.
(`1866 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1866>`_)
- Add future support for deprecating model elements in the Synapse data model. This support will produce client and
server side warnings when deprecated model elements are used or loaded by custom model extensions or CoreModules.
(`1863 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1863>`_)

Bugfixes
--------
- Update ``FixedCache.put()`` to avoid a cache miss. This was a community contribution from blackout.
(`1868 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1868>`_)
- Fix the ioloop construction to be aware of ``SYN_GREEDY_CORO`` environment variable to put the ioloop into debug mode
and log long-running coroutines.
(`1870 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1870>`_)
- Fix how service permissions are checked in ``$lib.service.get()`` and ``$lib.service.wait()`` Storm library calls.
These APIs now first check ``service.get.<service iden>`` before checking ``service.get.<service name>`` permissions.
A successful ``service.get.<service name>`` check will result in a warning to the client and the server.
(`1871 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1871>`_)

===================

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
- Refactor an Axon unit test to make it easier to test alternative Axon implementations.
(`1862 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1862>`_)

Bugfixes
--------
- Fix an issue in ``synapse.tools.cmdr`` where it did not ensure that the users Synapse directory was created before
trying to open files in the directory.
(`1860 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/issues/1860>`_)
(`1861 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1861>`_)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Fix an incorrect statement in our documentation about the intrinsic Axon that a Cortex creates being remotely
accessible.
(`1862 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1862>`_)

===================

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
- Add Telepath and HTTP API support to set and remove global Storm variables.
(`1846 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1846>`_)
- Add Cell level APIs for performing the backup of a Cell. These APIs are exposed inside of a Cortex via a Storm Library.
(`1844 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1844>`_)
- Add support for Cron name and doc fields to be editable.
(`1848 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1848>`_)

- Add ``:nicks`` and ``:names`` secondary properties to ``ps:person`` and ``ps:persona`` types.
(`1852 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1852>`_)
- Add a new ``ou:position`` form and a few associated secondary properties.
(`1849 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1849>`_)
- Add a step to the CI build process to smoke test the sdist and wheel packages before publishing them to PyPI.
(`1853 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1853>`_)
- Add support for representing ``nodedata`` in the command hinting for Storm command implementations and expose it on
the ``syn:cmd`` runt nodes.
(`1850 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1850>`_)
- Add package level configuration data to Storm Packages in the ``modconf`` value of a package definition. This is added
to the runtime variables when a Storm package is imported, and includes the ``svciden`` for packages which come from
Storm Services.
(`1855 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1855>`_)
- Add support for passing HTTP params when using ``$lib.inet.http.*`` functions to make HTTP calls in Storm.
(`1856 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1856>`_)
- Log Storm queries made via the ``callStorm()`` and ``count()`` APIs.
(`1857 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1857>`_)

Bugfixes
--------
- Fix an issue were some Storm filter operations were not yielding CPU time appropriately.
(`1845 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1845>`_)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Remove a reference to deprecated ``eval()`` API from quickstart documentation.
(`1858 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1858>`_)

===================

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------

- Support ``+hh:mm`` and ``+hh:mm`` timezone offset parsing when normalizing ``time`` values.
(`1833 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1833>`_)
- Enable making mirrors of Cortex mirrors work.
(`1836 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1836>`_)
- Remove read-only properties from ``inet:flow`` and ``inet:http:request`` forms.
(`1840 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1840>`_)
- Add support for setting nodedata and light edges in the ``syn.nodes`` ingest format.
(`1839 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1839>`_)
- Sync the LMDB Slab replay log if it gets too large instead of waiting for a force commit operation.
(`1838 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1838>`_)
- Make the Agenda unit tests an actual component test to reduce test complexity.
(`1837 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1837>`_)
- Support glob patterns when specifying files to upload to an Axon with ``synapse.tools.pushfile``.
(`1837 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1837>`_)
- Use the node edit metadata to store and set the ``.created`` property on nodes, so that mirrors of Cortexes have
consistent ``.created`` timestamps.
(`1765 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1765>`_)
- Support parent runtime variables being accessed during the execution of a ``macro.exec`` command.
(`1841 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1841>`_)
- Setting tags from variable values in Storm now calls ``s_stormtypes.tostr()`` on the variable value.
(`1843 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1843>`_)

Bugfixes
--------
- The Storm ``tree`` command now catches the Synapse ``RecursionLimitHit`` error and raises a ``StormRuntimeError``
instead. The ``RecursionLimitHit`` being raised by that command was, in practice, confusing.
(`1832 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1832>`_)
- Resolve memory leak issues related to callStorm and Base object teardowns with exceptions.
(`1842 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/1842>`_)
