Units depended on are initialized first and finalized later. Modified all kbmMW code to use dependency class. - Added new TkbmMWDebugMemory class for keeping track of memory allocations and leak detection. Enterprise Edition only. Include kbmMWDebugMemory as early as possible in your uses clause (but after FastMM if you are specifying that). See demo project (debugmemory) for usage. - Added compact stack version of TkbmMDebugStackTrace not requiring addition memory allocations while running. - Added support for global function in TkbmMWScheduler.Schedule. - Added PrevRunStamp in TkbmMWScheduledEvent. - Added TkbmMWInterlocked.Increment/Decrement for uint64. - Added TkbmMWLockFreeHashArray<T> where a custom value type can be used. key is still cardinal/uint64. - Added TkbmMWLockFreeHashArray64 (64 bit data value). - Added ResetEnum, Enum, Capacity, Count, AssignValue to all TkbmMWLockFreeHashArray implementations. - Added optional argument ACount:integer=0 to TkbmMWCustomThreadPool.PreAllocate. Can ask for preallocation of ACount instances (will be limited by max count defined for thread pool). - Added new TkbmMWLog data type: mwldtAllocation. It will be used by memory leak detection for reporting allocation leaks. - Added mwldtAllocation to TkbmMWLogDataType. Its used for filtering out memory allocation logs. - Added support for specifying max file size (in kB) for log and audit files in IkbmMWLocalFileLogManager. Default 1024 for log files and no max for audit. If file size is exceeded current file is renamed to .bak and a new file created. Only one backup file can currently exist. - Added support in IkbmMWTeeLogManager for AddLogManager and RemoveLogManagers. Allows for dynamically add and remove logmanagers to the tee log manager. Currently max 10 concurrent logmanagers are supported to be referenced by a tee log manager. Added overloaded constructors for referencing 0 to 4 exisitng log manager instances when creating a tee logmanager instance. - Added Tag:integer and Data:variant properties to IkbmMWScheduledEvent. Allows for tagging custom data to a scheduled event. Matching methods WithTag(..) and WithData(..) added for fluently typing. - Added PrevRunStamp:int64 property to IkbmMWScheduledEvent for obtaining info for when last run happened. - Added Schedule(AGlobalFunction:TkbmMWOnScheduledFunction) to TkbmMWScheduler. - Added ASpaceAsPlus:boolean (default true) to kbmMWEncodeEscapes method in kbmMWHTMLUtils.pas. If set to false, will not replace space with +. - Added delayed commit to TkbmMWCustomSAFServerTransport. This is to fix that message pops should not be committed until message has truely been processed. This especially relates to request that are looped thru the TkbmMWServer application server functionality. Earlier it was possible that messages were put into a holding pattern in the TkbmMWServer (while waiting to be processed) but thus have been popped off the inbound queue and committed and thus removed from it, before the application server actually had processed or failed processing the message. - Added server queue congestrion support on TkbmMWCustomSAFServerTransport. This ensures that request/service call messages will not overwhelm the server queue. Default is mwmqoFailOnCongestion,mwmqoDeleteInvalidMessage and max CPUCount*10 messages in queue. Default component name for the server queue is transport name+'_'+KBMMW_DEFAULT_SERVER_QUEUE. If congestion happens, the push on the server queue fails and message will automatically be rolledback on the source queue (typically the inbound queue) to ensure no messages are lost. - Added TkbmMWDebugStack.StackTraceAsString function to easily convert collected stack to printable string. - Added more features for obtaining a stacktrace. - Added TkbmMWInterlocked.Increment2,Decrement2,Exchange2, Add2,CompareAndExchange2 supporting TkbmNativeUInt. - Added TkbmMWInterlocked.Increment,Decrement supporting uint64. - Added TkbmMWLockFreeHashArray2<T> to kbmMWGlobal, which takes 2 TkbmNativeUInt keys to reference data of type <T>. - Added TkbmMWDynamicLockFreeHashArray<T> descending from TkbmMWLockFreeHashArray<T>. It auto resizes to 150% when its getting to more than 60% of capacity. - Added TkbmMWLockFreeHashArrayNative descending from TkbmMWLockFreeHashArray2 referencing TkbmNativeUInt. - Performance optimized kbmMWGetCurrentThreadID for x86 and x64. - Added procedures LockedFreeNotification(AComponent: TComponent) and procedure LockedRemoveFreeNotification(AComponent: TComponent) to TkbmMWCustomConnectionPool. Use these instead of FreeNotification and RemoveFreeNotification to ensure threadsafety. - Added AddBatchedMessage method to IkbmMWCustomTransportStream. - Added DelayedCommitOwner property to IkbmMWCustomTransportStream. This can be used to identify the original source (holding) queue for the message. - Added mwmqoFailOnCongestion to TkbmMWMessageQueueOption. If a queue is getting congested this will lead to push returning false, and message not being pushed on queue. - Added IkbmMWMessageQueueCustomAction and descendants IkbmMWMessageQueuePushAction, IkbmMWMessageQueueTentativelyPopAction, IkbmMWMessageQueueCommitAction, IkbmMWMessageQueueRollbackAction, IkbmMWMessageQueueDeleteAction, IkbmMWMessageQueueRejectAction, IkbmMWMessageQueueStalledAction, IkbmMWMessageQueueCongestionAction, IkbmMWMessageQueueClearAction, IkbmMWMessageQueueTentativelyPushAction, IkbmMWMessageQueueCommitPushAction, IkbmMWMessageQueueRollbackPushAction Allows for any class to subscribe for various events on a message queue. - Added events OnPush,OnTentativelyPop,OnCommit,OnRollback,OnDelete, OnReject,OnStalled,OnCongestion,OnClear,OnTentativelyPush, OnCommitPush,OnRollbackPush to TkbmMWCustomMessageQueueAction. - Added mwpsaRetry to TkbmMWMessageProcessingSuccessAction. Controls if a failed message processing operation should be retried. Changes/minor additions ======================= - Changed TkbmMWScheduler to preallocate at least 1 relaxed thread if any relaxed events have been defined, even if they are not to run yet. Purpose is to play nice with memory leak detection. - Changed TkbmMWLockFreeHashArray to inherit from generic version, and be named TkbmMWLockFreeHashArray32. - Changed TkbmMWCustomTransportStream to allow for BatchedMessages=nil to improve performance and memory usage. - Added check for out of memory conditions in TkbmMWBufferPages. - Added missing Occurs(const AOccurance:TkbmMWScheduleOccurance) method to IkbmMWScheduledEvent to be able to type fluently. - Changed KBMMW_THREAD_TIMEOUT_GRANULARITY to 50ms instead of 2000ms to ensure more smooth shutdown of threads. - Changed so TkbmMWThreadEntry.Create do not autostart inner thread. - Changed TkbmMWCustomThreadPool.Create to allow for specifying if to autostart threads created via pool. - Changed TkbmMWCustomThreadPool.PreAllocate to take optional arguments setting pool size and autostart option. - Improved early error detection in ReadSubjectHeader. - Changed TkbmMWAfterMessageProcessedEvent by adding argument var AAction:TkbmMWMessageProcessingSuccessAction - Changed TkbmMWCustomGroupedMultithreadMessageQueueProcessor by adding setters to numerous properties. - Changed TkbmMWMemoryQueue options to default not batch any messages. - Changed TkbmMWGroupedMessageQueueProcessorThread to default congest at 10 messages for normal priority messages. The default congestion treshold will be overwritten with QueueSize setting when the processor is started. - Improved Firemonkey support for TkbmMWJPEG. Fixes ===== - Fixed problems with TkbmMWDateTime due to threadsafety issues in Embarcadero's TTimeZone.Local implementation, which could lead to various exceptions on some OS versions. - Fixed issue with SendPing resulting in index out of range due to missing unstreaming of request values. - Fixed multithreaded race condition on unhooking components from connectionpool. - Fixed bug where not all properties of a scheduled event was considered. - Fixed bug in TkbmMWScheduledEvents where precise event thread was not guaranteed started immediately. - Fixed shutdown problem in Indy 10 due to TerminateYarn bug. - Fixed potential race condition bug in TkbmMWFilePool. - Fixed bug in TkbmMWMREWLock and performance optimized it. Added a number of introspecting functions: ReadLockedBy, WriteLockedBy, LockedByAsString, WriteLockRecursiveCount, ReaderLockCount which can be used to query current status of a lock. Now kbmMW default uses TkbmMWMREWLock for all locking. This can be disabled by commenting {$IFDEF KBMMW_SUPPORT_FASTMRWSLOCK} in kbmMWConfig.inc. - Fixed memory leak in TkbmMWHashBuckets. - Fixed TkbmMWMemoryStream.Read when attempting to read 0 bytes. - Fixed bugs in TkbmMWCustomThread.Stop. - Fixed TkbmMWCipherCustomDES, TkbmMWCipherRijndael (AES) and TkbmMWCipherIDEA on 64 bit platforms. - Fixed TkbmMWCustomClient.SendPing without arguments not correctly sending NULL. - Fixed ftDateTime bug in UniDAC adapter.
