This time around, instead of the very ad hoc approach I have historically taken, this time we actually have a convenient script that takes care of basically all the hard work necessary, including cross-compilation.
We compile natives for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (OpenSSL 1.1.x native and libdeflate) and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (OpenSSL 3.x.x native), for both x86_64 and aarch64.
The macOS natives have also been recompiled on macOS Sonoma.
Spiritually indebted to #518 and @alexstaeding.
There's a minor break - we're going up to 3.2.0-SNAPSHOT as the API now compiles against Java 11. But this is more academic in practice.
* Improved Scheduler API
- Added `Scheduler#builder(plugin)`
This method allows a more simplified builder while maintaining the main requirement of the executor plugin
- Added `Scheduler#taskByPlugin(plugin)`
Allows to obtain the tasks that a plugin has sent to execute and that are currently active
- Added `TaskBuilder#task(Consumer<SchuledTask>)`
Allows to specify a task with access to the task itself with the ability to cancel itself
* Applied requested changes
- Removed tasks builder method
- Added `Scheduler#buildTask(plugin, Consumer<ScheduledTask>)`
* Removed some unused imports
* Applied suggested change
* Fix possible test bug
* Applied more suggested changes
* Fixed tests inside tasks
* Added ability to customize translations
* Removed remaining usage of `Paths#get`
As of java 11 its replacement `Path#of` was created, which is called when using `Paths#get`, besides, according to documentation, it mentions that it can be deprecated at any time
And fix a minor typo in LegacyChannelIdentifier
OpenSSL is much more portable and optimized (important for aarch64) and most systems already have a version.
Unfortunately, OpenSSL likes to break their ABI. Thankfully, Velocity's natives system is very flexible largely, so we can provide multiple versions of this crypto.
Versions of the dynamically-linked crypto were compiled on CentOS 7 (still supported until 2024, uses OpenSSL 1.0.x) and Debian 9 (the oldest distro including OpenSSL 1.1.0, whose LTS supports ends in 2022). The choice of distros was intended to cover most modern distributions (2014 and afterwards).
An ARM compilation (using Debian 9) will be published soon.
This native has been compiled and tested on Ubuntu 18.04 aarch64 on AWS Graviton2.
The cipher native is at the moment unlikely to provide a performance boost as mbed TLS doesn't provide an accelerated AES extension.
We have dropped the rarely used kqueue and replaced it with the new Netty aarch64
native. In addition, lay down the foundation for other aarch64 natives.
