Change Log
**********

The following is a log of all user-facing changes to Nyx, both
released and unreleased. For a monthly report on work being done see
my development log.

* Versioning

* Unreleased

* Version 1.x


Versioning
==========

As of the 2.x release Nyx uses semantic versioning, which means that
**versions consist of three numbers** (such as '**1.2.4**'). These are
used to convey the kind of backward compatibility a release has...

   * The first value is the **major version**. This changes
     infrequently, and indicates that backward incompatible changes
     have been made (such as the removal of deprecated functions).

   * The second value is the **minor version**. This is the most
     common kind of release, and denotes that the improvements are
     backward compatible.

   * The third value is the **patch version**. When a Nyx release
     has a major issue another release is made which fixes just that
     problem. These do not contain substantial improvements or new
     features. This value is sometimes left off to indicate all
     releases with a given major/minor version.

Prior to version 2.x nyx did not follow any particular versioning
scheme.


Unreleased
==========

The following are only available within Nyx's git repository.

From a user perspective little has changed, but this release is
nothing less than a complete rewrite of our codebase. This adds long
overdue **support for python 3.x**, test coverage, and migrate from
TorCtl to Stem.

Python 2.5 is no longer supported, but hopefully by now nobody will
miss it. ;)

   * **Startup**

      * Startup is several seconds faster when ran for the first
        time

   * **Graph**

      * Graph prepopulation no longer requires shifting to 15 minute
        intervals

   * **Connections**

      * Connections are now shown despite DisableDebuggerAttachment

      * Support for showing IPv6 connections

   * **Logging**

      * Order of magnitude faster log deduplication

   * **Curses**

      * Interface continues to update while awaiting user input


Version 1.x
===========

Prior to its 2.x release Nyx went under the name of "**arm**". This
series was under active development 2009-2012. Changelog for the
series is available here.
