Apr 1, 2025Delivered a set of core platform improvements for Plakar in April 2025, focusing on reliability, performance, and developer productivity. Key features include VFS core reliability and a Mount() facility that simplifies usage and integration; modernization of the BTree/LRU caching architecture by extracting the BTree cache into its own package for easier reuse; a new API snapshot cache plus a paginated endpoint to fetch chunks used by snapshots; and targeted API and VFS refinements that reduce surface area and improve correctness (e.g., removing chunks from the VFS children endpoint, fixing chroot handling for symlinks, and avoiding chunk serialization in JSON). In addition, CI tooling upgrades and expanded test generation/visibility improvements improved quality gate coverage and reduced flakiness. Overall, these changes increase system reliability, reduce maintenance cost, and accelerate feature delivery.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 (PlakarKorp/plakar): Delivered a solid baseline for build, testing, and observability, with substantial improvements across core VFS/backup functionality, API ergonomics, and developer experience. Key features include a local build/test workflow, snapshot VFS search with pagination fixes, and API enhancements for more flexible file listing. Documentation was expanded and regenerated to improve operability for users and contributors. Performance and reliability were strengthened through a BTREE-based LRU cache, vfs File() speedups, and deduplicated PutBlob calls, along with maintenance work like go mod tidy and updated dependencies. Security posture and configurability were enhanced via TLS migration and config-driven sync. These changes reduce risk, accelerate workflows, and deliver clearer APIs and better diagnostics for both operators and developers.

Key outcomes include: (1) Features delivered: pluggable storage backends with LevelDB integration and the ability to construct a B-tree from existing storage and persist to different backends; traversal and scanning improvements enabling efficient data access (ScanFrom, LevelOrder, and fast-forward via linked leaves); API exposure and serialization (public order/root, serializable nodes); and broader API evolution including a pointer-aware iterator, backward iterator, Update, Dot, and removal of Node() to streamline API surface. (2) Reliability and correctness enhancements: insertion fixes with duplicate detection, per-snapshot error handling, expanded NotFound variants, and per-directory error pointer housekeeping; (3) Performance and maintainability: binary search-based node/leaf operations and slices.Insert optimizations, code refactors including moving the btree package and repository renaming, improved documentation, cross-platform path handling fixes, and integration of go-cdc-chunkers; (4) Quality of life and ecosystem fit: improved archive/error handling patterns, Verify() for integrity checks, and broader test coverage. The month delivered tangible business value by enabling flexible storage architectures, enabling faster scans/queries, reducing risk with improved error handling, and simplifying cross-platform deployment and integration with downstream systems.
