riptide 0.3.0

Dart port of the Riptide library from Tom Weiland. This port provides functionality for establishing connections with clients and servers using the Riptide protocol.

0.3.0

• Updated code to Riptide v2.2.1 and the fixes released since (up to commit bc3f3f2)
• Verified compatibility with the C# Riptide library for both the UDP and the TCP transport
• Fixed many bugs of the port, most notably:
  • Message IDs weren't serialized as varints, which shifted the payload of every message
  • Notify messages were sent as unreliable messages, and their headers were corrupted
  • Signed values, floats and doubles were read or written incorrectly
  • Timeouts, RTT measurements, resends and quality disconnects never happened for UDP connections
  • Delayed events (like resends) were executed in the wrong order
  • Transport event handlers weren't called or never unsubscribed, which broke reconnecting and restarting
  • Sequence and ping IDs didn't wrap around
  • UDP datagrams were dropped when sending many messages at once
  • Bursts of reliable messages broke the connection, as their resends flooded it (TCP now handles bursts of tens of thousands of messages)
  • Resends which had to be postponed never happened (also a bug of the C# Riptide library)
  • UDP clients bound to the server's port + 1, and multiple clients from the same address collided
  • UDP servers could be started on ports which were already in use
  • TCP errors went unhandled and disconnections weren't detected
  • Multi threaded servers and clients failed to start or report errors
  • The message pool, bitfield and message relay filter didn't work like the original
• Exceptions thrown by event subscribers are now caught and logged
• The multi threaded server and client now support:
  • Notify messages and their delivered/ lost events
  • Accepting and rejecting connection attempts via handleConnection
  • Kicking clients, sending to all clients except one and relaying messages
  • messageReceived and connectionFailed events, the client's state, ID and RTT, and custom connect data
  • Setting the update interval, heartbeat interval and timeout time
• Added tests, including loopback and unreliable network tests
• Breaking changes:
  • Server.start (and IServer.start) now return a Future which completes once the server is running
  • MessageRelayFilter.fromType and MessageRelayFilter.fromTypeAndIds take the values of the enum (e.g. MessageId.values) instead of its type
  • Message.maxPayloadSize is now static
  • The notify and reliable delivery events of Connection are no longer nullable
  • Connecting with custom data no longer releases the given message
  • MultiThreadedClient.connect returns whether a connection attempt will be made, and the client's isolate stops once it disconnects
  • MultiThreadedServer.stop and MultiThreadedClient.disconnect return a Future which completes once the isolate has exited
  • MultiThreadedClient.connectionFailed passes ConnectionFailedEventArgs
  • Sending with a multi threaded server or client which isn't running throws a StateError
  • Increased the minimum Dart SDK version to 3.3.0
