Hey Guilers, On behalf of the Spritely Institute, we are happy to share that Spritely Goblins 0.12.0 has been released!
Goblins is Spritely's distributed object programming environment with implementations for both Guile and Racket. Goblins provides an intuitive security model, automatic local transactions for locally synchronous operations, and an easy to use and efficient asynchronous programming interface for encapsulated objects which can live anywhere on the network. Its networking model abstracts away these details so the programmer can focus on object programming rather than protocol architecture. Highlights for this release: * New "Prelay" netlayer A tech preview of a relay netlayer intended to help users behind restrictive firewalls participate in a peer-to-peer network. * New TCP-TLS netlayer A netlayer for direct TCP communication that is encrypted with TLS. Effective use of this netlayer will most likely require the use of relays, as mentioned above. * New Queue (FIFO) actor in our actor-lib library A handy new actor that implements a FIFO queue. * Various fixes and enhancements to CapTP support Work in the Object Capabilities Network (OCapN) standard group has been ongoing. This release updates our implementation of the Capability Transport Protocol (CapTP), the largest aspect of OCapN, to reflect the consensus that has been achieved in that group. And also some bug fixes, of course. ;) To read the full release announcement, check our blog: https://spritely.institute/news/spritely-goblins-v0120-released-two-new-netlayers-join-the-ocapn-family-and-more.html For more about Goblins, see the project homepage: https://spritely.institute/goblins/ See also the Heart of Spritely whitepaper: https://spritely.institute/static/papers/spritely-core.html For more information about OCapN, see: https://ocapn.org/ If you make something cool with Goblins, let us know!
