Version 1.3.1

[benloh]

Date Released: 9/17/2020

Version 1.3.1 release focuses on performance optimizations, especially around network #129

Network Reliability Reporting

To improve the use of Net.Create on low-quality networks:

• Extend the wait time for heartbeats. Both the server and the client will wait for 10 seconds before declaring a disconnect. Heartbeats should be generated by the server every 5 seconds, so this gives us a large window.

• Show a specific "Client Disconnect" or "Server Disconnect" with a timestamp error for users.

  "Client Disconnected" -- Client did not receive a "ping" heartbeat from the server within the time allowed. Usually this is a result of the client losing the internet connection.

  "Server Disconnected" -- Either the server shut down, or the server did not receive a "pong" response from the client within the time allowed. Usually this is a result of the server initiating the disconnect as it shuts down.

• Log the missing "pong" message to the server logs along with the UADDR so you can identify the machine thats down. e.g. 11:30:39 tacitus SRV-NET - UADDR_02 pong not received before time ran out -- CLIENT CONNECTION DEAD!

• Add GZIP compression for all files. In some cases resulting in an 80% reduction in data that has to be sent over the wires. This isn't a perfect solution but perhaps it'll give us a little more information about what's going on.

• Bugfix: Wrap standalone calls in a promise to prevent LOADASSETS lifecycle errors. Addresses #132 and #136.

• Replace font-awesome (?) badge with a css badge. This reduces load time by about 2 seconds. #136.

• Delay blocking javascript loads so that main app page will load and display. #135, #136.

• Display a "Loading Net.Create..." message so user knows the page is loading. #135, #136.

• Add minification with terser.

NodeTable / EdgeTable Improvements

• NodeTable and EdgeTable are now only loaded when their respective tab is visible. This saves about 2 seconds during page processing time. #136.
• Markdown rendering has been optimized. #139
• NodeTables and EdgeTables no longer disappear when a node is selected. #137, #138
• Degrees are now displayed again. 6fc35cc6770eb2ad93235d93a865ff4510608ead
• Properly unmount NodeTable and EdgeTable db864d645515e632a196f07a37750493b5ffd9df
