release

09 Dec 2024

Exciting new release packed with performance enhancements and bug fixes across various components, especially in our Fruity backend. @hsorbo and I collaborated to bring you the following improvements:

fruity: Boost NCM performance with multi-transfers, improving data transfer efficiency.
fruity: Improve userspace NCM driver to perform batching, reducing packet loss in bursty situations.
fruity: Enable lwIP TCP timestamps and SACK to align with the Linux IP stack defaults, enhancing network performance.
fruity: Bump lwIP TCP Maximum Segment Size (MSS) to 4036 for better TCP tunnel performance.
fruity: Account for frida-server bind() delay to improve connection establishment reliability.
fruity: Fix crash on USB operation creation during teardown.
fruity: Improve USB device handling on non-macOS systems by avoiding unnecessary USB access when kernel NCM is available.
fruity: Fix direct channel reliability by ensuring connections are established correctly even when conflicting services are running. Kudos to @mrmacete for helping track this one down.
fruity: Improve TcpTunnelConnection teardown to ensure proper cleanup upon the remote end closing the connection.
api: Generate a proper GObject Introspection Repository (GIR), including necessary types and omitting internal ones.
api: Avoid exposing internal types in the API.
api: Omit APIs involving HostSession.
build: Modify output logic to avoid redundant writes to output files, speeding up incremental builds.
build: Avoid parsing API multiple times by leveraging Meson’s custom_target() support for multiple outputs.
compat: Create relative subproject symlinks so the source tree can be moved without breaking builds.
compat: Fix error-handling in compat.symlink_to() for subprojects.
windows: Fix cpu_type_from_pid() for non-existent PIDs.
windows: Use GetProcessInformation() on Windows 11+ to ensure correct usage of ProcessMachineTypeInfo.

As always, a huge thanks to @hsorbo and @mrmacete for their invaluable contributions in making this release possible.
