  • Permits intervals function to be used in any spot outside of data, including throttle.

0.4.6​

Mon May 20 11:35:44 PDT 2024

  • Fork keys powered by a lookup call now spawn forks in the order the original data was created. This behavior is far more intuitive as a default, especially for use cases that make a fork for each element in another data set.

0.4.5​

Mon May 20 10:31:31 PDT 2024

  • Further improves the efficiency that new forks are spawned, minimizing the work to find the next logical fork to launch.

0.4.4​

Fri May 17 14:31:48 PDT 2024

  • Made the uuid generator compatible with all string serializers.

0.1.35​

Tue Mar 12 09:38:43 PDT 2024

0.1.34​

Mon Mar 11 11:32:44 PDT 2024

0.1.33​

Mon Mar 11 09:22:35 PDT 2024

0.1.28​

Thu Feb 22 10:56:22 PST 2024

0.1.26​

Tue Feb 20 13:11:06 PST 2024

0.1.25​

Tue Feb 20 11:52:40 PST 2024

  • Added optional unit to geospatial functions. Default is radians, but may use degrees.

0.1.24​

Tue Feb 20 10:31:01 PST 2024

  • Loosens schema for throttle ms and stagger ms, permitting not just integers, but now doubles. This is useful to apply throttling, but still allow > 10K events/second to be generated.

0.1.23​

0.1.13​

  • Added new digitString and characterString functions to do fast random alphanumeric generation.

0.1.12​

0.1.11​

  • Fixed bug in how CLI errors are printed.

0.1.10​

  • Added new command line switch --config-base64 to accept base64 encoded literal representations of configuration files, which is useful for programmatically working with ShadowTraffic.

0.1.8​

  • Fixed bug where non-string variables couldn't be referenced in string exprs.

0.1.7​

0.1.6​

  • Added --seed flag to enable repeatable runs. The only things not repeatable are calls to the current wallclock time with now and Java Faker's Internet.uuid generator, which can't be overriden. For repeatable UUIDs, use the uuid generator.

0.1.5​

  • Improved error messages when on bad Java Faker expressions. Now links to the docs with the list of valid exprs.
