Instead of constantly making these updates, let's just remove the year
since things are stored in git anyways, and this is not an actual modern
legal risk anymore.
This extends the autogrouping API so that a child can easily get a
reference to the parent that it is autogrouped in. This can simplify the
API for some resources when it makes sense to allow them access to the
parent handle. Use sparingly and intelligently!
With the recent merging of embedded package imports and the entry CLI
package, it is now possible for users to build in mcl code into a single
binary. This additional permission makes it explicitly clear that this
is permitted to make it easier for those users. The condition is phrased
so that the terms can be "patched" by the original author if it's
necessary for the project. For example, if the name of the language
(mcl) changes, has a differently named new version, someone finds a
phrasing improvement or a legal loophole, or for some other
reasonable circumstance. Now go write some beautiful embedded tools!
There were a bunch of packages that weren't well documented. With the
recent split up of the lang package, I figured it would be more helpful
for new contributors who want to learn the structure of the project.
This is a trait that specifies that your resource can be queried by
others. You can either enable it plainly to add wholesale access by
everyone, or you can implement your own Allow method to limit what is
permitted.
Part of this was rotten, and not fully functional. This fixes the rot,
adds some tests, and improves the type checking that occurs when sending
and receiving values. In addition, a significant portion of this happens
at compile time.
There is still more work to be done here, but this should get us a good
chunk of the way for now.
The fields that we might want to store with encoding/gob or any other
encoding package, need to be public. We currently don't use any of these
at the moment, but we might in the future.
The engine core had some unfortunate bugs that were the result of some
early design errors when I wasn't as familiar with channels. I've
finally rewritten most of the bad parts, and I think it's much more
logical and stable now.
This also simplifies the resource API, since more of the work is done
completely in the engine, and hidden from view.
Lastly, this adds a few new metaparameters and associated code.
There are still some open problems left to solve, but hopefully this
brings us one step closer.
This giant patch makes some much needed improvements to the code base.
* The engine has been rewritten and lives within engine/graph/
* All of the common interfaces and code now live in engine/
* All of the resources are in one package called engine/resources/
* The Res API can use different "traits" from engine/traits/
* The Res API has been simplified to hide many of the old internals
* The Watch & Process loops were previously inverted, but is now fixed
* The likelihood of package cycles has been reduced drastically
* And much, much more...
Unfortunately, some code had to be temporarily removed. The remote code
had to be taken out, as did the prometheus code. We hope to have these
back in new forms as soon as possible.
