1.0.1 - 2026-09-12
Changed
- Publish tagged package versions to Hex.pm after the complete CI matrix passes.
- Require Erlang/OTP 27 or newer, matching the Erlang syntax used by the library.
- Report distribution socket statistics as packet counts, consistent with OTP's
recv_cntandsend_cntsemantics.
Fixed
- Recognise binary
socket_dirvalues beginning with@as Linux abstract namespace paths. - Return stale socket deletion errors instead of retrying indefinitely.
- Close the accepted socket and distribution controller when the kernel rejects a protocol handshake.
- Raise a descriptive error when a Unix socket path exceeds Linux or macOS address limits.
Security
- Document filesystem directory permissions and the local-access implications of abstract namespace sockets.
1.0.0 - 2026-05-14
Added
- Initial
uds_distmodule — custom Erlang distribution over Unix domain sockets using the:socketmodule, supporting both filesystem-backed and Linux abstract namespace sockets. Path selection is driven by thesocket_dirapplication environment value, with a leading@selecting the abstract namespace.
