2.0.0-M1

🚀 JDK 17 Unix Domain Socket support

IPC Socket 2.0 adds JDK 17 Unix Domain Socket support as the NIO SocketChannel.

String pathName = "/tmp/foo/foo.sock";
ServerSocketChannel serverChannel = ServerSocketChannels.newServerSocketChannel(pathName, true);
SocketChannel clientChannel = SocketChannels.newSocketChannel(pathName, true);

Full Changelog: v1.4.0...v1.4.1

1.4.0

IPC Socket 1.4.0 updates Java Native Access (JNA) to 5.8.0, which adds support for Apple silicon (ARM). ARM support has been available via Java Native Interface (JNI) implementation since 1.2.0, but this allows the same implementation to be used on ARM macs. JNI would still be necessary for GraalVM native image purposes.

IPC Socket 1.4.0 also contains the fix to server socket forgetting about useJNI flag, which prevents BSP import on ARM macs. The fix was contributed by @quelgar in #14.

1.3.1

IPC Socket 1.3.1 fixes server socket forgetting about useJNI flag, which prevents BSP import on Apple silicon (ARM) Macs. The fix was contributed by @quelgar in #14.

1.3.0

IPC Socket 1.3.0 changes the Java Native Interface (JNI) macOS to use multi-architecture binary for x86-64 and Apple silicon (AArch64). This was contributed by @eatkins in #12.

IPC Socket 1.3.0 also adds maxSocketLength method to return the maximum path length for the Unix Domain Socket. Previously this query was implemented only via JNA. #13 by @eatkins.

IPC Socket is a Java wrapper around interprocess communication (IPC) using java.net.ServerSocket and java.net.Socket as the API. On Unix-like systems, it uses Unix Domain Socket. The path is a filesystem path name. On Windows, IPC is implemented using Named Pipe. The path must refer to an entry in \\?\pipe\ or \\.\pipe\.
