We never added back replacing of ${version} strings, which means that CC
was reporting incorrect version numbers in _HOST, the user agent and
network versions. This meant we would allow connections even on
mismatched versions (#464).
We shift all version handling into ComputerCraftAPI(Impl) - this now
relies on Forge code, so we don't want to run it in emulators.
This moves monitor networking into its own packet, rather than serialising
using NBT. This allows us to be more flexible with how monitors are
serialised.
We now compress terminal data using gzip. This reduces the packet size
of a max-sized-monitor from ~25kb to as little as 100b.
On my test set of images (what I would consider to be the extreme end of
the "reasonable" case), we have packets from 1.4kb bytes up to 12kb,
with a mean of 6kb. Even in the worst case, this is a 2x reduction in
packet size.
While this is a fantastic win for the common case, it is not abuse-proof.
One can create a terminal with high entropy (and so uncompressible). This
will still be close to the original packet size.
In order to prevent any other abuse, we also limit the amount of monitor
data a client can possibly receive to 1MB (configurable).
timetout, max_upload, max_download and max_websocket_message may now be
configured on a domain-by-domain basis. This uses the same system that
we use for the block/allow-list from before:
Example:
[[http.rules]]
host = "*"
action = "allow"
max_upload = 4194304
max_download = 16777216
timeout = 30000
When creating a peripheral or custom Lua object, one must implement two
methods:
- getMethodNames(): String[] - Returns the name of the methods
- callMethod(int, ...): Object[] - Invokes the method using an index in
the above array.
This has a couple of problems:
- It's somewhat unwieldy to use - you need to keep track of array
indices, which leads to ugly code.
- Functions which yield (for instance, those which run on the main
thread) are blocking. This means we need to spawn new threads for
each CC-side yield.
We replace this system with a few changes:
- @LuaFunction annotation: One may annotate a public instance method
with this annotation. This then exposes a peripheral/lua object
method.
Furthermore, this method can accept and return a variety of types,
which often makes functions cleaner (e.g. can return an int rather
than an Object[], and specify and int argument rather than
Object[]).
- MethodResult: Instead of returning an Object[] and having blocking
yields, functions return a MethodResult. This either contains an
immediate return, or an instruction to yield with some continuation
to resume with.
MethodResult is then interpreted by the Lua runtime (i.e. Cobalt),
rather than our weird bodgey hacks before. This means we no longer
spawn new threads when yielding within CC.
- Methods accept IArguments instead of a raw Object array. This has a
few benefits:
- Consistent argument handling - people no longer need to use
ArgumentHelper (as it doesn't exist!), or even be aware of its
existence - you're rather forced into using it.
- More efficient code in some cases. We provide a Cobalt-specific
implementation of IArguments, which avoids the boxing/unboxing when
handling numbers and binary strings.
Unknown blit colours, such as " " will be translated to black for the
background or white for the foreground. This restores the behaviour from
before #412.
- Write to a PacketBuffer instead of generating an NBT tag. This is
then converted to an NBT byte array when we send across the network.
- Pack background/foreground colours into a single byte.
This derives from some work I did back in 2017, and some of the changes
made/planned in #409. However, this patch does not change how terminals
are represented, it simply makes the transfer more compact.
This makes the patch incredibly small (100 lines!), but also limited in
what improvements it can make compared with #409. We send 26626 bytes
for a full-sized monitor. While a 2x improvement over the previous 58558
bytes, there's a lot of room for improvement.
This replaces the allow/block lists with a series of rules. Each rule
takes the form
[[http.rules]]
host = "127.0.0.0/8"
action = "block"
This is pretty much the same as the previous config style, in that hosts
may be domains, wildcards or in CIDR notation. However, they may also be
mixed, so you could allow a specific IP, and then block all others.
- Remove stub for table.pack/table.unpack.
- Remove Lua 5.3 bitlib stub. We're not on 5.3, there's no
point emulating it.
- Change peripheral.call to correctly adjust the error level. This is a
terrible hack, but I believe the only good option.
It'd be good to remove load as well, but it's a little more complex due
to our injecting of _ENV.
Closes#363
- Return EPOCH if a zip entry's creation/modification/access time is
missing.
- If a BasicFileAttributes.*Time method returns null, use 0 as our
time. This shouldn't happen, but is a good sanity check.
Fixes#371
This means we are already provided with file attributes, which halfs[^1]
the time taken to scan folders.
[^1]: This dropped the fastest scan time from ~1.3s to ~0.6. It's by no
means a perfect benchmark, but this is still an obvious improvement.
- fs.getCapacity just returns the capacity of the current drive, if
available. This will be nil on rom mounts.
- fs.attributes returns an lfs like table of various file attributes.
Currently, this contains:
- access, modification, created: When this file was last accessed,
modified and created. Time is measured in milliseconds since the
epoch, same as os.epoch("utc") and what is accepted by os.date.
- size: Same as fs.getSize
- isDir: same as fs.isDir
Closes#262
- Move timer handling to IAPIEnvironment, rather than OSAPI. This means
the environment is reset on startup/shutdown, much like normal APIs.
- Websocket.receive now accepts an optional timetout (much like
rednet.receive). This starts a timer, and waits for it to complete.
Closes#201
- contains now performs a case-insensitive comparison. While this is a
little dubious, it's required for systems like Windows, where foo and
Foo are the same folder.
- Impose a depth limit on copyRecursive. If there are any other cases
where we may try to copy a folder into itself, this should prevent
the computer entirely crashing.
- Remove *Stream methods on IMount/IWritableMount, and make the channel
ones the primary.
- Fix location of AbstractTurtleUpgrade
- Make IComputerAccess.getAvailablePeripheral and .getMainThreadMonitor
mandatory.
- IComputerAccess throws a specialised NotAttachedException
Before it would remain the same across world reloads, and thus would be
out-of-date after leaving the first world. This architecture technically
allows for running multiple servers at once, though that's not going to
matter that soon.
This is sufficiently useful a class, that it's worthwhile exposing it.
Hopefully we can slowly encourage other mods to migrate to it (well, at
least in 1.14), and so make error messages more consistent.
Also:
- Add Javadoc for all public methods
- Clarify the method names a little (getNumber -> getDouble,
getReal -> getFiniteDouble).
- Make the *Table methods return a Map<?,?> instead of
Map<Object, Object>.
So very little works, but it compiles and runs.
Things to resolve over the next few days:
- Horrible mappings (should largely be resolved by tomorrow).
- Cannot send extra data over containers - we'll have to see what Forge
does here.
- Turtle models are broken
- No block drops yet - this will largely be cherry-picking whatever I
did on Fabric.
- Weird inventory desyncs (items don't show up initially when
interacting with a CC inventory).
- Probably lots of other things.
- Adds a CheckStyle configuration which is pretty similar to CC's
existing one.
- Add the Gradle license plugin.
- Ensure the existing source code is compatible with these additional
checks.
