py4.3.2

Fixes #7 by offering true IPv6 support.

py4.3.1

This patch provides the ability to ping sequentially, rather than in threads. Sacrifices a small amount of accuracy for scaling performance gains.

py4.3.0

This Python release exposes a new API (without deprecating the old one) that uses context-manageable objects for each collection task. It's now possible to do e.g. with ping.Pinger(*args) as pinger:.... This allows things like connvitals-monitor to easily re-use sockets for long-lived tasks.

py4.2.0

Changes the API of collectors in what shouldn't be a breaking way - introduced the config.Config class which can optionally be passed to a collector.Collector initializer to set configuration on a per-host basis. By default, the initializer uses the global configuration, which is now contained in config.CONFIG rather than just at the config module level.

py4.1.0

This release addresses some issues with the command line and plaintext output.
It also now adds identifying information to traceroute packets to avoid collisions with other hostnames/ips that resolve to the same machine.

py4.0.2

Bugfix release, closes issues #1, #2, and #3.

Open Source Python Release

It might be confusing that connvitals's version history starts at 4.0.1, but that's because this was developed at Comcast for several months before being approved as an open-source project.

Open Source Go Release

connvitals's golang branch starts at version 3.0.0. Prior to this release, connvitals was developed as an internal tool at Comcast, and has now been approved for open-source release.

Note that the versions of connvitals written in Python and Go need not (and rarely - if ever - will) match, but should still be considered to be at feature parity with one another
