kdb-common-1.3.0-2021.05.27

This release adds a number of major features and improvements:

• Logging (log)
  • slf4j-style parameterised logging
  • Pattern-based logging formats
  • Call line tracing for enhanced debugging (which is enabled by default if the process is started in "debug" mode)
  • Log level in text output is now padded
• Job scheduler (cron)
  • Additional mode of operation - tickless - so timer only ticks when a job needs to execute, rather on a regular interval
• HTTP client library (http)
  • Automatic deserialisation of kdb+ IPC binary format over HTTP (with content type header application/kdb-ipc)
• Namespace functions (ns)
  • .ns.getFunctionArguments now supports additional function types
  • .ns.protectedExecute now supports passing functions by value
• Conversion functions (convert)
  • .convert.tableToHtml now supports mixed list columns (due to .type.ensureString improvements)

NUC

• cron
  • .cron.cfg.runners has been renamed to .cron.runners
  • .cron.enable[] replaced with .cron.changeMode[mode]
  • Job start and end times are now rounded to the nearest millisecond
• log
  • .log.level is now accessed within the .log.current dictionary
  • .log.currentLogger is now accessed within the .log.current dictionary
  • The .log.loggers functions have been split into .log.formatter and .log.loggers functions (see adding your own logger)
• type
  • .type.isGenericList was a duplicate of .type.isMixedList so was removed
