This change now unifies how data is generated with and without the --stdout flag. See below to restore the old behavior.
  • Adds new lookupScope configuration. Set this value to committed to restore the old behavior.

  • Fixes additional SSL connections issues with Kafka and Java 23.

0.15.7​

Mon Feb 10 08:55:58 PST 2025

0.14.3​

Tue Jan 28 08:30:54 PST 2025

0.14.2​

Mon Jan 27 13:16:38 PST 2025

  • Changes the semantics of fork keys so that if key is ever null, an error is raised. Previously, ShadowTraffic would silently stop forking, which was confusing and unhelpful.
  • Fixes a bug where the use of oneTimeKeys would not always allow ShadowTraffic to exit if it generated all expected data.
  • Fixes bootstrap generated output that targets Kafka connections. Previously the default Kafka connection URL was malformed.

0.14.1​

Tue Jan 21 10:17:45 PST 2025

0.1.35​

0.1.34​

Mon Mar 11 11:32:44 PDT 2024

0.1.28​

Thu Feb 22 10:56:22 PST 2024

Tue Feb 20 13:23:32 PST 2024

  • Fixed generated Avro types for some dynamically-typed generators like map, merge, etc.

0.1.26​

Tue Feb 20 13:11:06 PST 2024

  • Added support for Confluent Avro Schema Registry integration. ShadowTraffic now infers the Avro schema of your data, then registers or updates the remote schema.

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​

  • Adds new decimals option to uniformDistribution and normalDistribution generators to limit the number of decimal places.

0.1.22​

0.1.14​

  • Added new tablePolicy for Postgres connections. Set to value dropAndCreate to automatically create target tables if they don't exist. Default is manual, which leaves it to you to create the tables.

0.1.13​

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

0.1.12​

  • Added new op attribute to Postgres generators, allowing updates and deletes, not just inserts.

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.

0.1.9​

  • Added new io.shadowtraffic.kafka.serdes.XmlSerializer Kafka serde.

0.1.8​

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

0.1.7​

  • string calls can now reference variables. Variables will attempt to be resolved before any Java Faker invocations.

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.

0.1.4​

  • Fixed bad build - changes from 0.1.3 appear here, not previous version.

  • Improved runtime error messages to show all raw and evaluated local values.

  • Removed stringSeries call, superseded by sequentialString.
  • Added sequentialString call to mirror behavior of sequentialInteger.
  • Added motion calls: geospatialPathScheme and geospatialPath.
  • Added new feature fork to dynamically create new generators.
