Sprint 07 Release Notes

Table of Contents

December 2025

This sprint represents a major architectural leap for OreStudio. We have successfully evolved from a local binary-protocol application to a multi-channel platform featuring a RESTful HTTP API, a web-based portal (Wt), and a robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) suite.


✅ Highlights

  • Multi-Channel Access: Launched the ores.http server (Boost.Beast) with JWT authentication and established the ores.wt web component project structure.
  • Identity & Access Management (IAM): Renamed and expanded ores.accounts to ores.iam. Implemented a full user self-registration (signup) workflow and laid the infrastructure for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
  • Global Observability: Migrated logging to ores.telemetry, integrating Boost.Log with distributed tracing (OTLP roadmap) and JSON Lines export for external processing.
  • Cross-Platform Stability: Resolved macOS-specific std::chrono build errors and stabilized the Windows WSL development environment.

🛠️ Detailed Component Updates

1. Connectivity & Web Infrastructure

  • HTTP/REST Support: Added dynamic routing, path parameter extraction, and CORS management.
  • Interactive API: Integrated Swagger UI to serve auto-generated OpenAPI 3.0 specifications directly from the backend.
  • Wt Integration: Configured the C++ web toolkit with transitive dependency linking (Freetype, Pango) to ensure reliable static builds.
  • Socket Recording: Enabled session recording at the socket level for auditing and performance debugging.

2. Security & Geolocation

  • RBAC Infrastructure: Seeded the database with predefined roles and permissions. Added protocol messages for listing and assigning roles.
  • Geolocation Refactor: Replaced MaxMind with ip2country. Hardened the SQL layer against injection and improved IPv6 handling in PostgreSQL functions.
  • Account Security: Added password reset logic and input validation for the new signup service.

3. Quality & Documentation

  • Test Coverage: Pushed coverage above 70% via new suites for CSV exporters, filesystem operations, and session statistics.
  • Doxygen Audit: Standardized documentation for 60+ sub-namespaces using formalized naming conventions (e.g., ores.<component>.hpp).
  • Database Maintenance: Automated the cleanup of orphaned test databases (oresdb_test_*) to maintain CI/CD health.
