v0.11.0

This release should be a safe update for most users. Many routing table and
internet connectivity check modules were updated, but the changes were primarily
in private APIs.

• Added

  • Support for detecting Internet connectivity on an interface passively by
    watching tx and rx stats on TCP sockets. For example, if you have a
    long-lived TCP connection (like for MQTT), the keepalive messages will
    bump tx and rx counters that will let VintageNet skip testing the connection
    for connectivity. This reduces traffic on metered connections.
  • Support for completely overriding route metric calculation. You can now
    specify a :route_metric_fun instead of using the DefaultMetric
    calculator for determining which network interface preferences.
  • VintageNet property change events now come with timestamps. These are useful
    for computing state durations and other time-based stats for events.

• Removed

  • Support for setting route prioritization order. This feature was more
    limiting that it originally looked. The new :route_metric_fun is more
    straightforward since it lets you explicitly specify orderings and lets
    decisions be made based on more input data.

• Changed

  • VintageNet.Interface.InternetConnectivityChecker is now
    VintageNet.Connectivity.InternetChecker. Please update any references. Old
    references will continue to work, but give a deprecation message at runtime.
