Release v0.3.2

What's new?

• Token (single) authentication:
  fedn run reducer --secret-key=<your-secret-phrase> will generate a token which will be required for combiners and clients to assign to the network. Clients and combiners are then required to authenticate via fedn run client --token=<generated-token> or by specifying "token" key in settings YAML file.
• Compute package is no longer required to setup via the web UI: fedn run reducer --local-package
  Instead clients will make use of a local compute package, i.e. a remote compute package will not be downloaded.
• VS Code devcontainer has been added

Bugfixes

• Fixes an issue where a client could connect before a seed (initial) model has been uploaded

Other

• Various minor fixes
• Documentation

Release v0.3.1

What's new?

• New resilience feature - clients will now attempt automatic reassignment if their associated combiner goes missing for more than 60s (default, configurable on the CLI).
• Refactor of Client initialization.

Bugfixes

• Fixes an issue where training requests to clients are delayed after a client has disconnected from combiner.

Other

• Various minor fixes
• Documentation

v0.3.0

What's new?

• It is now possible to start clients as trainer, validators, or both (default).
• Clients now execute training and validation events sequentially, this improves client stability for large models.
• Improved visualization of the network graph.
• Clients and their status are now listed on the network page.
• Refactoring of the combiner aggregator API, making it easier to extend with your own aggregator.

Other

• Minor bugfixes and stability improvements.
• Improved documentation.

v0.2.5

v0.2.5

What's new?

• The examples previously residing in 'test' have been refactored into a separate repository: https://github.com/scaleoutsystems/examples
• Docker-compose templates for Minio upgraded to support latest version

Other

• Documentation updated
• Introduce Discord community server
• Updated dependency to conform with new minio versions.

Release v0.2.4

v0.2.4

What's new?

• Introduced a new events view.
• Introduced a new view for viewing network layout, (reducer, combiner and clients hierarchy)
• Introduced a new setup guide-phase to ensure prereqs like package and model are set before starting execution.
• Introduced a better form for parameter selection on run configuration.
• Introduced async dispatching of run configurations.
• Introduced async update refresh of several important fields for user convenincence like status, events, network hierarchy etc.
• Introduced a new download-client-config function to allow for faster and more convenient client configuration.
  (Just download config and point your local client and whoallah! You are online in this federation.)

Other

• Fixed logic bugs related to framework persistance.
• Fixed a logic bug causing clients to get assigned prior to compute package assignment (and hence will not account for assignment policy).
• Fixed a logic bug if reducer is resumed from previous state (to ensure) that the right compute package is selected.
• Update dependency versions.

v0.2.3

What's new?
