Synapse v0.0.39 Release Notes

New Features

#553 - Synapse Docker images will now have -debug images available as well for all master and tagged builds. This image is built off of the vertexproject/pydebug:3.6-slim image. This image has full GDB support for Python enabled. See https://github.com/vertexproject/pydebug for more information.

#551 - Make 4096 bit RSA keys by default when using the synaspse.tools.easycert tool. Thanks @galyac!
#550 - Add additional debug logging to Synapse when starting up a Cortex, executing remote methods via Telepath and around SSL errors.
#554 - Validate the Storm tree() recurlim argument is greater than or equal to zero.
#557 - inet:dns:look:tcp4:ipv4 and inet:dns:look:tcp4:udp4 sub properties of port and ipv4 have been added, so a DNS response can be recorded from a server even if the server source port is unknown.
#559 - Add a limit parameter to the Storm totags() operator.
#560 - Add unit test for synapse.lib.dark.

#555 - Set the x509 extension number of certificates made by synaspse.tools.easycert to version 3 (0x02). This allows Chrome to validate the certificates starting in Chrome 63.
#558 - When an exception is raised during the synapse.lib.socket.Plex._plexMainLoop call to select.select(), perform a check to see if any sockets are fini'd or have fileno() == -1 and perform a cleanup operation on that socket. This can reduce a race condition where a bad socket can get wedged and prevent the multiplexor from working correctly.
#558 - Change the synapse.link.ssl.Socket.send() implementation to call self.sock.send() itself instead of calling through the default Socket.send() method. This allows us to properly catch SSLWantReadError and SSLWantWriteError exceptions; instead of allowing teh default method to catch them as OSError exceptions and fini the socket. The previous behavior lead to SSL Sockets being unstable.
#556 - Fix the Storm filter function for +range() so that filter operator works properly.
#562 - Fix the Storm filter function for +in() so that filter operator works properly.

#552 - Add documentation for the Storm operators to the user guide: pivot(), join(), refs(), fromtags(), totags(), jointags(), and tree().
